An ANTI DM'd me

I'm a pixel artist and yes, I do use AI tools, and to be honest 95% of my clients don't even care if I used AI or not as long as they get the asset they need for their game and it looks good... I had a number of happy clients these last 2 months that happily paid me... I don't deliver AI slop, even using AI tools it takes a lot of effort to deliver cohesive and good assets...

Today an anti also pixel artist DM'd to give me an "advice". He said I should disclose my AI use in my portfolio because I was scamming people and fooling them if I didn't do that... I said to him that I'm not obligated to expose my entire process and if I get directly asked I'll answer the truth, which happened a few times. He was clearly hiding resentment from the way he was texting me, even saying I was spoiling my evolution as an artist by using AI and that I should strive for not using it anymore... I told him that I'l never stop using, in fact I want to learn more new tools specially because theyre getting better and better...

After this heated discussion I tried to change subjects and maybe become his friend, since he is from my same country (Brazil) and was also doing freelance pixel art online, which is cool... He simply unfriended me and ghosted me.
