Someone recently shared that all my work is fake and AI and sent me this email

This person made a very scary and uncomfortable post about me here recently. They also last week, sent me this horrific email, trying to be anonymous, even though I knew who it was because this person has been harassing me for months now.

Him and his friend have been tearing me apart and trying to say that my whole website is just AI and fake but it is not.

I've put my blood sweat and tears and redoing my website recently after my fourth layoff. I recently joined a graphic design community and they have been tearing me apart incessantly ever since. I did nothing to deserve this, but the harassment will not stop.

His friend is claiming that I still work from her and fed it to AI which is untrue. I have been very upset about this for a while now because it's already very hard spending all my time designing and working on my graphics and my website, trying to rebrand myself desperately so that I can get back into the workforce, putting in all my time, effort, and energy, working for 12 hours a day on this for the past three months without doing any single thing else.

And then to just kind of get a slap in the face like this with the person that will not stop coming for me no matter what I do unless I find a way to legally make them stop.

As a graphic designer, this is just really sad. People use Photoshop to make designs and they use them as tools, if some people just use Ai tools as well, that doesn't mean you can just tear them apart. Especially when they're not just AI generated

I use them the same way that companies are using them except I'm meticulously edit and curate them constantly, until 7 AM every morning I don't even stop working on this.

Now I'm just really sad and I don't know what to do. I worked really hard and I feel like it's all for nothing because these people have some type of vendetta against me and don't want me to succeed no matter what I do.

During an interview today, I was asked to submit an 8 hour unpaid spec project

I came across this website today as well and I felt like I resonated with it so much! I declined doing this type of project and I highly recommend you signed the petition as well!

Not only do a lot of them never ship, but they have auto accept offers set up and then they never login, never check messages, and never shipped the item.

Wasting so many people's time.
