On ai- I think one of the main distinctions between editing something and having ai produce it is one requires. Effort, and actual time/thought behind it. Spending a minute feeding a database prompts until you get something you want is nothing compared to the countless hours put into a piece, be it writing/art/etc

You could argue that by virtue of posting something online, people sort of sign away on what people do with their art, but even in such cases you cannot deny that ai companies went about collecting data in malicious and deceptive ways- often without any time to genuinely revoke consent.

With ai art, people can replicate someone's style, which can then threaten their own personal brand/livelihood. This becomes more apparent when you know that a major part of the actors strike was specifically against ai owning the rights to people's image/voice indefinitely. An actors entire workplace existence hinges upon the fact that they will be paid to be somewhere and say and do something- this gives them the security of an income, but it also gives them the right to turn down any works they don't agree with/don't want to be a part of. By removing the actual *actor* from acting, the company can get away with not having to actually pay someone, let alone pay someone a living wage

I think the biggest reason I, and many others, are against ai, is for the same exact reason people would be against reposting art instead of reblogging, or the reason we used to get all the warnings against online piracy: it will directly hurt the creators that spent countless hours working on something. The difference between piracy and ai, however, is ai hurts creators that are just like you, and your community, and it will continue to do so if left unchecked

It is a very big win that ai generated works cannot be copywrited, bc it means that people will not be able to profit off of something they did not truly make. It would be unreasonable for someone to launch a TV show where the premise was ai, or the script itself, or the actors, and then try to claim ownership over it, and insist that they make a profit off of it, that no one else can use it, when in truth they had no part in the actual creating of the show

This is kinda a mess, and im open to more discussion/providing links to stuff mentioned later, but hopefully this is kind of an insight into why ai isn't. The best

Yes! Thanks for the discussion!

I think you’re responding to my previous post: https://www.tumblr.com/oo0-will-of-the-wisp-0oo/748487000957550592/any-of-my-people-interested-in-discussing-ai

If I were to use AI, I would be 100% honest about. Also I would charge less in most cases.

The reason being is it feels to me like it is providing me with images/information, and therefore helps me save time. I prefer to use it as a tool, though rather than use it as a means to an end. At least with the few AI I’ve experimented with, I’ve noticed that the program/algorithm kind of does a half-ass job on it’s own and the final piece would need to be edited to my satisfaction - especially text prompts. Using only text-prompts produces pretty substandard results. I find whatever the AI spits out usually needs to be edited, sometimes rather extensively, or else it’s unusable. And it takes up more time than I like for the program to process. I don’t just want to text-prompt and keep whatever gets developed.

There are some AI that you can use a photo or drawing of your own as reference. AI Arta is one of these. I’m playing around with Bing and Picsart, too. And of course EVERY app seems to be providing its users with its own AI (although usually using original products such as Dall-E or Midjourney, is what I find)…

Also, my original link on my blog said AI can’t be copyrighted… However I’ve found at least Dall-E allows you to make a profit: “Subject to the Content Policy and Terms, you own the images you create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise — regardless of whether an image was generated through a free or paid credit. Oct 29, 2023” - although perhaps this still doesn’t mean it’s under your own copyright… I’m not sure about that.

I’ll just finish this reply to you saying I think everyone should keep discussing AI. Thanks again for your own input. I figure the more it’s talked about, the more we’ll figure out how to use it. I don’t want to snub people who are completely for or against it. I WANT to hear what people think about it. If I learn something I didn’t know before because of keeping an open mind, that’s a good thing.

Hope what I’m writing is comprehensible, it’s after 5am. I should get to sleep! lol

Here’s a website where the opinion is that AI won’t “take over” people’s jobs/artistry, but it will make their jobs more efficient for them.

I present: my fantroll for @trollprom!

Name: Lanton Lasius

Blood color: Olive (#295503)

Orientation: Red for Girls, and maybe black for boys... kind of. (More on that later)

Relationship status: All open, but he's recently lost his moirail.

Appearance: Sort of scrawny. Eats like a bird. He can lift a surprising amount, but that's mostly because most people would be surprised he can lift anything at all. He is well groomed but mostly adheres to traditional alternian values of usefulness before appearance. Cargo pants are his favorite accessory. He wears corrective lenses that balance his otherwise overwhelmingly powerful nearsightedness.

Personality: Lanton is SUPER exiteable and enthusiastic, but he tries to reign it in -- he's really self-conscious about it. He's also really, REALLY into the hemocaste and the society that has raised him. He knows that bad stuff happens, and really he's not too keen on some of the leaders, but you would never hear him say that out loud. Or... really believe anyone who said he had those kind of feelings. He readily bows to anyone of higher blood who demands it of him, and really he'll bow anyway if they're at least a purple blood. While he's internalized a lot about the blood castes, he strives to be decent about it. While he does sometimes come off a bit demeaning sometimes ("Careful t}{ere, rusty! You could }{urt yourself. Let a midblood s}{ow you }{ow it's done."), ultimately it's because he wants to serve his society in whatever fashion he can; whether it be obeying the whims of his superiors or trying to be the best leader he knows how to be for everyone else. Concerning romance, Lanton's luck hasn't been so great. He used to have a really, REALLY great moirail, but she left for her rites last sweep, and most of his romantic endeavors have suffered as a result. At least he's a great auspistice and moirail -- almost TOO good. Historically, by the time he feels a little red for someone, they've already gone off with another troll. He respects that, though. Black feelings, on the other hand, come a LOT harder for him. Between not having much animosity to share in the first place and having some REALLY unhealthy expectations of what spades-love is all about, he hasn't really found anyone. Like, ever. He expects some kind of "Hate at first sight" experience where some ninja makes an attempt on his life and frames him for some kind of seditious plot against the highbloods or something. He doesn't get that that kind of hate-love takes WORK and TIME. In terms of occupation, Lanton is a cellular automatist -- a troll who essentially makes computers using living creatures' cells. He used to dabble in making game grubs, but his latest and most successful work in Insect Sector Vectors has landed him in a pretty solid track to become a lead cryptographical engineer. He looks forward to using his knowledge to help crack codes used by the most seditious of rebels and the hardiest of galactic opposition.

Special notes: Lanton has two ant lusii: Matria and Patria. He considers himself particularly lucky for it, but he's quite embarrassed for the untraditional home he's been raised in. They respect his wishes, though, and try to only let anyone see one of them at a time. His horns look like these things -> }[ His whole thing is ants: }0oO He speaks with frequent gasps, and has a tendency to overcomplicate things when under pressure: "}{ello! }{ow are you today?" "I.thought(you.said("It was going to work out fine"));this != FINE; //!!!!!!" He also tends to refer to nouns in camelCase.

Intro clip: Your name is LANTON LASIUS, and boy are you LONELY. You are facing this challenge, as you do with others, by seeking refuge, solace, and solution in the PURE STUDY OF KNOWLEDGE. This latest bout has you horn-deep in the study of NANANT technology which shows GREAT COMPUTATIONAL POTENTIAL. This has only put off the looming dread, however, that much sooner than later, you will need to FILL YOUR FIRST PAIL. You speak in rather regular terms with most trolls, but your typography is "allOfList(}{orrendous, Convoluted(), DifficultToRead)" ESPECIALLY "when(you.become(very*FLUSTERED))"
