#AI STEALS ART

COMMENT ON HOW AI AND COPYRIGHT SHOULD WORK! The window for comments is limited to get your ass over there and SPEAK UP!

I have a feeling some people haven't thought about this, though most of us have.

The strike... THE strike... yes, streaming residuals are important. Last century, every time we got to watch an old series on TV, EVERY time, the actors (if they didn't get screwed) got paid a little bit.

All the streaming services, now, have not one idea how to organise or arrange payments, so they just blundered ahead. Sometimes, however, as we can guess, it was deliberate. How can actors, and writers, in fact anyone, survive, feed themselves or family, and keep a roof over their head at all. And then how do they do what they do for a living.

Then there's the bloody AI.

And AI can actually BE an actor, use their face, their voice and we wouldn't know, if we weren't told. This will literally take the food right out of their mouths. AI can BE a writer, not a particularly good one, right now, but that's not going to be the way it is forever. AI has the potential to take over every single art-form humans enjoy pursuing, music, painting, sculpture, singing, writing, acting, for a fraction of the "cost". But that's not the whole point of art, and AI, no matter what it might "say", does not enjoy doing art.

So we can trust the US to bring forth the end of Art, can't we?

The reason why nowhere else is going on strike is because everywhere else is courageous enough to discuss this.

But every single one of us should be angry at this sheer bloody fucked up stupidity. They can actually kill art. That's a stupid thing to be able to say.

AI can cure a multitude of medical problems. AI can manage impossibly difficult systems so that our lives are better... and we should pursue that. But AI can take actual things away from us that we don't want to lose.

How do we turn it off though? When I search something it automatically has an AI answer that I immediately skip

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

Might as well post this here for posterity, since Youtube has yet to resolve the matter.

A couple of weeks ago, my short film 'Pleasant Inn' got a false copyright strike from an individual named Kazi Zidane Mim. He has been striking any Youtube channel that reacted to my short film in the hopes of uploading his own stolen version titled 'Paradise Hell.'

For comparisons, here is my original short film:

[This is a horror animation and contains flashing lights, so viewer discretion is advised]

And here is Kazi Zidane's stolen version:

Kazi Zidane Mim has a history of just flat out stealing.

As an example, this is his 'Bloody Mary graphic novel,' which is actually a manga called 'Ibitsu,' with only the text/dialogue changed.

He's literally just selling this on Google Books and Amazon without any push-back.

I also found out that he has a Sketchfab account.

Why is this important? Because Sketchfab offers a great library of 3D models made by other artists, such as this animated deer by Games in Motion Studios;

Look familiar?

I'm sure coincidences are possible, tho 🦌

Kazi Zidane even made a bogus IMDB page of my stolen short.

And to add insult to injury...

So far, Youtube hasn't done anything about this and I'm tired of waiting. Many channels have received false copyright strikes by Kazi Zidane Mim just for reacting to 'Pleasant Inn' since 2019.

AI and Tumblr

In the event of any kind of AI Art API is to be trained on this platform I do not give permission for my art to be sampled or used to train AI without financial compensation, artists hold the copyright to our art and any intentional mimicry or sampling of my art by an artificial intelligence is infringing on an artist's rights to their creations.

We as artists will not take this grim proposal between Tumblr and Midjourney laying down, this was the last safe heaven for a lot of us and you are now holding knives to us entirely to solve your financial woes instead of offering meaningful solutions. You are going to bleed your community of all trust and all revenue you still eek out of us. Your ways have changed from one of a community built around passion for fandom and the creative mind to one of greed and exclusion. You have been showing true colors and they are ugly, they are sickening, and they will kill your platform. If this deal goes through, may your platform die slow and painfully, may you watch your most loyal of whales walk away and leave you drying out in the hot pavement that is bankruptcy.

Maybe I'll rest. I'll rest somewhere among the trees. Maybe not a sunny day but at least I'll get to lie myself down on a soft spot

AI should never be used to steal the work of performers and creators to make sickly copies that devalue the very art form they are supposed to support

[animentality]

Y'all PAID for this fucking app???? What the FUCK

[panoffrying]

Little silly sketch. Basically what if Benery and Barney end up being two separate people in hl2vrai

[toaarcan]

Before AI Voices: Oh cool someone posted a Bionicle advert on Tumblr, I'm gonna turn the audio on and have a nostalgia hit.

After AI Voices: Oh cool som- Wait. This is a shitpost where someone used AI to make Tony Wedgewood say a swear, isn't it?

HEY FELLOW ARTISTS!

If you're anything like me, you have several "rules" to your art that you follow strictly!

And I promise you it's holding you back!

Some "rules" you might be following that you should actually ignore:

No references allowed! Everything must be straight from your memory

Curve tool, circle tool, line tool? Illegal! Everything must be freehanded

Symmetry tool? Not allowed!

Copy+Paste with resizing and angling adjustments for duplicate parts? Scenery? No!

Clean lineart is a must! No sketchy lines

Stay inside the lines when coloring!

Everything needs to be PERFECT

And these rules are STUPID! The moment you learn to take it less seriously and drop the rules? You'll learn faster! Burn out less!

Want to challenge yourself, go ahead! You can apply those rules as a challenge! BUT your art? Your life? Does not need to be a constant challenge!

You are allowed to have fun with it and doodle as if it were scribbles in the margins of a lined worksheet

Not Everything has to be a masterpiece! Not everything has to be perfect!

And! You don't even have to share OR finish everything! It's OKAY to draw just to draw! It's okay to draw things and not finish them! It's okay to just scribble to try new brushes! It's OKAY to spend even HOURS on something that will never be posted because you're doing it for FUN or for PRACTICE!
