Susan's point about how the original artist would feel really got me. I used to not get why it was a big deal, but that changed my view completely.

Not cool, that's stealing.

Wait, hold up. You used a random image for an art showcase? I mean, idk, but that sounds like a major ethics red flag. Did you even try to find out who made the original picture? Because if you didn't, you're basically showing off someone else's work as your own. That's not just unsure, that's straight up wrong in my view. What were you thinking when you submitted it? Like, did you consider how the original artist would feel?
