About 40% of Artwork at an Anime Con Was Civitai AI Prints, Sold at $50 Apiece

A Reddit user visiting an anime convention found that roughly 40% of the artwork on sale appeared to be A4 printouts ripped from Civitai, sold at $50 per print or $60 a bag — pieces not even on the sellers' own social pages. The poster argues organizers don't care as long as the booth fee is paid, laments the state of the 'real' art community, and asks whether underselling AI prints at 40% off is equally unethical.
