the trailer for the movie i worked on for years now just dropped and holy shit all the comments are SO seriously hateful lmao

like, its a movie for 7 year old girls.... its fine. its average. its whatever. some kids will be obsessed, some adults will be annoyed and bored out of their mind. it's literally a "whatever" movie.

im not even saying its great

but jesus christ people saw that trailer and write ESSAYS about the "downfall of animation"

my personal fav tho was the guy who said it's "probably the first full AI movie to come out" and i died bc if that's AI then what have I been doing for the past 3.5 years

it doesn’t matter wether AI art is real art or not. “what is art?” is a question that has been answered a million times in as many different ways. it’s a theoretical question that we do not need to answer in order to understand AI generated images and the place of AI in art today.

AI image generators are trained on data skimmed from the internet. this includes images that are not in the public domain. artists and individuals do not have the ability to opt out of this selection. they are not warned, asked for permission, or able to give or take back consent.

there is no transparency in the dataset on which AI image generators are trained. no way for users to know wether or not the prompt they give results in an image based on work from people who did not consent. not even AI developers have access to that information. there is no way to remove specific datapoints from an AI’s training either, so creators cannot even retroactively have their content removed from algorithms.

this is what matters. not the ethereal nature of art, but the fact that real life artists are having their work stolen without the option to give or to revoke consent.

I don’t care if AI art is real art and also don’t care if you do have a strong opinion on the matter. none of this is relevant. if AI art is not real art it is exploitative of content creators and artists. if AI art is real art it is still exploitative of content creators and artists. it is still immoral and of dubious legality, still harmful, still disrespectful.

AI art creators: you would have nothing without the millions of images the tool you are using was trained on. do you want to spit in the face of all of those who made your creations possible? if so, go fuck yourself. if you do care about artists then stop using AI image generators. stop using them until there is full transparency in datasets, until people have a choice to consent or not to their work being used. AI could be ethical, but now, it isn’t, not a single one of them is. the entire industry is built on foundations of theft and exploitation.

ceasing to post AI images isn’t enough. stop giving silicone valley AI startups web traffic. stop showing them you like their product. stop using the AI, stop helping it progress, stop feeding it prompts.

AI art may be art. it may not be. there is no wrong answer and it doesn’t fucking matter. stop exploiting artists, stop facilitating the exploitation of artists, stop stealing from creators. stop thinking of art as a nebulous and detached thing, stop thinking of images online as free of context. I am begging you to start caring about artists.

this is the kindest prophecy i've ever had the priviledge of hearing. like the wind rustling morning flowers, the breathing of a loved one, like being read yuri while laying my head on somebody's lap.

Pros and cons of shopping in store Vs online

Brought to you by christmas shopping stress.

In store

Supporting local businesses

Fun

exercise

you know what you get

nice store people can help you

there is people

everything hurts (disabled)

Social anxiety

easier to overspend

you can try things on

people stare (i dress fancy and I use a cane)

Sensory Overload

I live in a village so i have to sit in a bus for three hours just to shop

I like bus and car rides though so could also be a pro

Online

Bigger assortment of stuff

don't have to leave your home

alternative payment options

comparing prices is easier

anxiety inducing (what if scam)

seriously I am shaking what if I don't get the stuff and I lose all my money

like if you are in a physical store you know what you are getting and that the store is real

have to pick up the package so need car if it's too big to carry

you can't try clothes on

harder to overspend (to me) because you can see the numbers go up

Scrolling is nice
