#AI as a tool can be useful

Here, just take some generated songs I found with Out Of Bounds/WTTMV in mind.

Oh ! I did one of those before for my own username and main project

I find it funny, it funky nonsense music

Not very wttmv or oob vibe but still fun !

As cameras becomes more normalized (Sarah Bernhardt encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use cameras because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by manufacturing companies. I paint not because I want a painting but because I love the process of painting. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

if i have to explain to you that using a camera to take a picture is not the same as using generative ai to generate an image then you are a fucking moron.

reminder that cai is not real, the characters are not real, your relationships are not real! be wary and keep an eye on your own screentime. don’t blindly use the app for unhealthily long stretches of time. mentally check yourself! don’t get sucked in. its a fun, self-indulgent app, but that is all it is. it can do more harm than good. unlike cai, you’re real, with real relationships and real people that care about you. please take care of yourselves!

The fact u use AI for virtually all your fics is fucking crazy 🤣

I’m only going to say this once: I have never posted anything written by AI.

1) It uses an insane amount of water and energy.

2) I write when I need a break from my literal constant studying, it’s a hobby and an escape that can’t be replaced by AI.

3) I have nothing to gain by posting fics that I haven’t written myself. I’m not getting paid for this. No one even knows who I am. I had to take a break for months because I was exhausted from writing and had a nasty case of writer’s block!

I understand that AI is becoming more and more prevalent, concerningly so at times, but unwarranted accusations like this hurt writers who pour their passion and effort into their work.

Also, I’ve been using the em-dash since before AI co-opted it (shoutout to my 9th grade English teacher who used to be a journalist and introduced it to me), but now people think it’s a sign of something generated by AI which is so annoying 😭

"I can't write"

You literally wrote that, didn't you?

If you mean "I can't write good quality things" then fucking get over it.

You have to write badly. That's the first rule of writing. You'll never get better if you don't write badly.

You just have to write.

Please, just write.

Stop saying you can't. Stop keeping yourself from writing for fear of it being bad.

It's going to be bad at first. And that's okay.

You'll look at it and recoil in the disgusting thing you've created. But that's okay.

Keep writing. Push past your insecurities. And eventually you might find you really like writing.

You don't have to share it. Just write for fun. Write because you want to.

what really fries me about people who use chatgpt on their homework in my classes is they get the wrong answer and then they text me and i tell them how to do it and they’re like “😱😱 how did you know how to do that ??” well maybe if you opened the slides instead of rushing to jerk off ai you would’ve realized that the professors tell you how to do what they want you to do 😭😭 you dumb fucks FKDKDNJSND LIKE ??

ppl who think season 2 of arcane was nuanced are really funny to me actually

[pinkyjulien]

Ouh... saw the AI generated Johnny art for the first time, and since I'm a lil bit drunk it got me thinking hard, man

OP's tags are really sad to read - especially the ones they wrote on the actual art they did themselves, after publishing the Ai art

Anything that you have Fun doing isn't pointless or a waste of time; having fun is important, creating is important, making art is important and having fun while making art is the whole point (or at least a really important part of it)

I guess the reason they think it was pointless is because the fanart "only got" 11notes? despite being fun to make - compared to the Ai post, which involve no fun, no thoughts no nothing, almost getting to 400notes - and I cannot express just how much I hate what clout did to people's brains, and how much Ai also plays on this... people addiction to clout and instant gratification, combo'd with people addiction to consuming new stuff from their favorite fixation

idk man it's fucking bleak, and artists comparing themselves and their art to how much nUmBeRs the ai slops are generating is sadly inevitable. like I get it but also not, can't blame anyone but still frowning my eyebrows yknow

People are being so annoying about Doug's optimism around AI. He's optimistic about AI's usage in the world of medicine and technology - in those areas, AI genuinely can change the world for the better. He also believes safeguarding for artists needs to be in place when it comes to the generative stuff. But, of course, people are allergic to nuance online.

He's also obviously not pro AI music in any way, he constantly plays music on stream and none of it has been AI. He's moved away from AI art stuff due to his moral concerns around it and the issue of safeguarding for artists. He only really uses AI for his content either as a shitpost generator, or to help him with coding. It's not like he's out here stealing money from the pockets of artists.

just saw a post which was very insistent in an authoritative way that interacting with AI-assisted art in any context even just to mentally find meaning in it before moving on, or even (especially!) if you don't actually realize that it's AI-assisted before interacting, is a moral failing on ur part. and so according to op the only morally correct thing to do from now on for the rest of ur life is to thoroughly research every piece of art you come across, and to thoroughly research the artist of any piece of art you come across, and to - prior to appreciating any art - ensure just in case through thorough research that no AI was used at any point in the process at all, or else it's morally tainted the art forever. and how if you don't do this you, personally, will be partially responsible for the impeding death of art itself. RIP art. born: the dawn of human kind, probably sooner. died: now I guess, because You specifically forgot to ruminate compulsions ruminate compulsions moral purity rumination over it prior to daring to resonate with something someone spent the time and effort to make. aren't you tired. aren't you literally tired.

some sort of monkey's paw is curling on me because after 4 years of complaining about how hard it is for me to obtain high resolution, useful, copyright free and approvable images and graphics without being allowed to buy them....i've now been told by my manager "oh well you can just generate something with AI"

NO THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN....

[berrrydameyve]

okay do do you guys want anti-AI spiderverse badges??

Miles G saying "fuck ai, pick up a pencil." for example

[alelelesimz]

you guys do realize that AI has been a thing for a long time as an algorithm tool that is used in things other than generative AI, right? many games have been using that type of tech for a long time, but the term "artificial intelligence" just got popular recently

[yameoto]

Holy shit what happened 😭

a fourteen-year old boy committed amidst his cai addiction. here’s the link to the article for more details.

[wahoo-stomp]

I spent five years coming up with unique ways to photograph the same group of plushies to help tell a story.

You don't need AI to help you be creative, you're just being lazy and want brain chemicals without doing any of the work or respecting the people who put time and effort into it.

[thedawner]

Wish fervent AI tech enthusiasts would understand that it's nice to manually do something (e.g make art on your own even if it's not up to par to what you'd like to make), because else your brain will rot.
