PSA 🗣️ another scammer using genAI without disclosing it

pixlgirl has been posting generated AI (targeting fandoms) without disclosing it, passing it off as their genuine art and has apparently scammed at least one person into ‘commissioning’ them. this is a public PSA so yall can block them, and not interact. please do not harass them!

it’s incredibly shitty to be disingenuous while posting AI but even shittier to scam people with it 🤢 stay diligent yall

Many people say at a glance, AI looks OK, but it messes up the details. Artists have a field day screenshotting the errors most of the time.

The issue is, we're conditioned to simply scroll. A glance is all we offer, and if it looks fine we don't bother to dig deeper. A layman could never see the myriad of issues with AI-generated art. It's a similar case for writing, really. Most people won't see the problem with AI writing, but any writer will.

The point is - AI is here to stay. Which also means that the creative process is more undervalued than it already is. It means a future generation of creators who won't understand what it means to pour your heart and soul into a creation; to etch a piece of yourself upon canvas; to write the song of your soul into existence.

The masters we study and the stories we analyse - all were crafted with a soul, with a fervent desire, with a dream. No matter how accurate or amazing AI becomes in the future, this I believe - no work of a machine will ever touch the hearts of humans the way a heartfelt poem or painting can. And no AI work will ever break the rules it has been constructed to obey, for that requires a soul and a yearning for something greater; a vision; a work that has yet to manifest.

The art of creating is dead. In AI we have forged unbreakable boundaries - not because we cannot, but because we will eventually forget how to break and rebuild our limits.

We will still aim for the stars, but we will no longer reimagine what the stars could be.

Just imagine. Some people need a whole fucking online program powered by ai just to do something that was invented million years ago — drawing. Not something entirely new, no. Drawing (+ other media creation but those aren’t new too). More over this is one of the main activities of children before they decide what to do in life. This is one of the most available activities possible.

Even offline, even without tablet and computer with drawing program, you can do so much more than those lazy asses. The moment they stay with no online devices, they are helpless. Pathetic.

Just realise how some of people willingly decide to be so powerless, and their biggest skill are endless excuses. Their epoch will eventually come to an end.

A Poll Of Your Thoughts On Generative AI

I really don't agree with the use of generative AI in any way, shape or form, but I wanted to create a poll to see just how many people think about it the same way as I do.

If everyone who participates in this poll can share it around, it would be greatly appreciated.

I sent a feedback request to staff/support telling them that their blatant theft of independent queer writing and art to sell to the highest bidder makes their support for being “the queerest place on the internet” quirky copywriting at absolute most.

which we knew already, after how they treated trans women on the platform, but at this point they really are just like. openly hostile to any sort of queer creativity and growth that they can’t find a way to steal and sell

anyway. I’m gonna start pulling things and reposting them to AO3 this weekend. my account there is protected, so that’s… something. maybe not enough, with the state of greedy entitled fucks these days, but something

yeah, they may already have it, but like. I don’t have to leave it up for them still, yknow.

[raraeavesmoriendi]

let me preface this by saying that my migraine is going on day 4 so I’m not going to be the most articulate

but I can’t get over how the wonka experience/house of illuminati bullshit really is just incredibly symbolic of genAI and the people who use it.

> someone steals the legitimate creations of the effort, time, and talent of other people (look at all the stolen photos on that website that aren’t genAI, jesus christ)

> carelessly mashes them together to create some meaningless slurry with no real care for the “product,” because they’re too entitled to place real value in the creative process and the decision-making inherent therein.

> misrepresents themselves with skills they don’t have, that they also don’t value enough to actually learn or hire real craftspeople to perform

> (ime because their ego is so inflated they can’t let themselves be allowed to be seen as a beginner at something, much less making an effort)

> all for the sake of greed - usually for cash, sometimes just for unearned recognition - while cutting as many corners as possible to get to the end result. with no consideration for the people they’re taking advantage of at any stage of their dipshit scheme, or even the ridiculously huge amount of natural resources these things suck up and burn.

and these companies keep making money bc the lowest common denominator keeps poking the shiny button to jingle the keys, which is how scumsuckers like Matt over there make a quick buck by selling out.

it’s excusing theft from real artists/writers/etc. who have dedicated time and discipline to hone their skills, for the sake of the lowest possible effort distraction that isn’t worth the water or air or electricity it burns up.

it’s hard not to feel disgusted. idc if that makes me pretentious or a snob. I hope those people are forever associated with the hideous fake drivel they produce.

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen and everything in between! The age of information is finally over! Woo hoo! Torment nexus, here we come!

[unikorpi]

I'm probably not going to be posting any new art for a while. The Tumblr AI thing and AI stuff in general are really eating away at my motivation right now

[sweetie147]

coming back from oblivion to say

fk the new change.

if you see me delete my art from tumblr and reupload it later, know it's solely to screw over the gen-ai bros 😈

[softwaring]

[makkon]

hey just wanted to say that if that tumblr partnership with midjourney thing goes through, I will stop posting here entirely. I'm also considering deleting my blog. I know this doesn't remove my data from the site due to reblogs. I also understand that my data exists outside of this site too, and that it can't really be deleted. I know how this shit works. it's the principle of the thing. I deleted my instagram and deviantart accounts for the same reason. I'd say find me on bluesky, but it's only a matter of time before they pull that shit too. the era of the free and open internet is coming to an end.

the things i do to keep myself sane in the office

[local-diavolo-anon]

i got the permission to share this, so have this reference piece my friend @cosmoddino commissioned me of her oc Anya!

[anarkhebringer]

Not my older brother introducing me to even MORE genAI bullshit that he got sucked into that draws him away from things he's genuinely super talented at creating himself

[morvantmortuary]

late last night, I figured out how to compile my scrivener drafts to epubs (finally)

it is. immensely surreal to see your own work show up like a book in your ereader for the first time, let me tell you that.

[raraeavesmoriendi]

put on a random yt video from a channel I’d never watched before bc it was about a movie I like

and less than two minutes in I’m like “…did they get genAI to write this? this doesn’t sound like a real person at all”

sigh. I hate that this is something we have to check for now. like, if you can’t think of something to say yourself, why would you even go through the time and effort to make an entire video about it
