I kinda hate how people keep accusing actual artists of AI art without analysing every tiny bit of evidence.

‘that hand looks weird so it must be ai.’

Ok? Hands are hard to draw. Don’t use weird looking hands as your thesus on why someone’s art is ai.

‘Looks like ai”

Ok but do you see any evidence of that? The ai had to copy someone, of course there will be artists with art styles that look like AI.

In our efforts to spread awareness a lot of people are hurting real artists in the process. Is the amount of actual ai we expose worth the amount of artists we invalidate and shun? I don’t know, but this is definitely a problem. Maybe this isn’t the path forward?

I personally feel like it would be better if we choose different ways to prevent people from claiming AI art as their own moving forwards.

And now I have the urge to create fan kids. I wonder if it's difficult or hard to create/use them in a fire emblem fic? When it comes to gameplay it really depends on what ship you want to happen in Awakening or Fates.

Though that was probably difficult for the game designers since they had to write a bunch different scenarios.

//Well in those games it depends what stats and skills you want the kids to have but in a story you don't need to worry about matchmaking for the best stats.

//And you're right since gameplay normally comes before a story and writing all kinds of combos is hard, something that if the ASOOT video game is made will be a headache to do.

//So many different combinations and it all has to make sense, kinda makes me wonder if you could make it a Smart Video Game? Then that would be unethical.

Business Decisions and What Matters Today

I mentor business owners, CEOs, and young entrepreneurs. It’s interesting the way business advisory services become integrated in the landscape of many different industries; the fluidity of change being my normal everyday life.

I'm a software dev and my company has made it mandatory for everyone to use Copilot. We are one of the largest software development companies in the world. As much as I hate it, it is incredibly useful for software development. Coding languages are constantly changing so it is impossible for anyone to know everything about one language and most of us are working in multiple languages. But now we have a tool that can give us updated information and explain anything we have questions on. From the business side, this means we no longer need junior devs because our seniors can now do twice as much work with half the mistakes.

Another example from our company, they had a team create an AI that can answer HR questions. So now instead of an HR team of 50* people who are answering the questions of our hundreds of thousands of employees, we can have the AI answer the 90% of questions that are predictable, and have 5* people who deal with the more complex issues.

*I have no idea how large our HR team was/is. I just know my friend was exited to work on this until I pointed out that it would be used to eliminate jobs. "No, it's just a cool tool! It will make their jobs easier!" "Yeah, so then one person can do the work of 3 and you get to cut labor."

I think generative AI has improved a lot over the last 18 months for the people who use it, and it will continue to do so as the blockers to its growth are removed. When I asked it what topics it's asked about the most, it's top 3 topics were related to software development and 4th was "general knowledge". And that's why it's good at code but shit at understanding how many fingers humans have.

AI hasn't improved in 18 months. It's likely that this is it. There is currently no evidence the capabilities of ChatGPT will ever improve. It's time for AI companies to put up or shut up.

I'm just re-iterating this excellent post from Ed Zitron, but it's not left my head since I read it and I want to share it. I'm also taking some talking points from Ed's other posts. So basically:

We keep hearing AI is going to get better and better, but these promises seem to be coming from a mix of companies engaging in wild speculation and lying.

Chatgpt, the industry leading large language model, has not materially improved in 18 months. For something that claims to be getting exponentially better, it sure is the same shit.

Hallucinations appear to be an inherent aspect of the technology. Since it's based on statistics and ai doesn't know anything, it can never know what is true. How could I possibly trust it to get any real work done if I can't rely on it's output? If I have to fact check everything it says I might as well do the work myself.

For "real" ai that does know what is true to exist, it would require us to discover new concepts in psychology, math, and computing, which open ai is not working on, and seemingly no other ai companies are either.

Open ai has already seemingly slurped up all the data from the open web already. Chatgpt 5 would take 5x more training data than chatgpt 4 to train. Where is this data coming from, exactly?

Since improvement appears to have ground to a halt, what if this is it? What if Chatgpt 4 is as good as LLMs can ever be? What use is it?

As Jim Covello, a leading semiconductor analyst at Goldman Sachs said (on page 10, and that's big finance so you know they only care about money): if tech companies are spending a trillion dollars to build up the infrastructure to support ai, what trillion dollar problem is it meant to solve? AI companies have a unique talent for burning venture capital and it's unclear if Open AI will be able to survive more than a few years unless everyone suddenly adopts it all at once. (Hey, didn't crypto and the metaverse also require spontaneous mass adoption to make sense?)

There is no problem that current ai is a solution to. Consumer tech is basically solved, normal people don't need more tech than a laptop and a smartphone. Big tech have run out of innovations, and they are desperately looking for the next thing to sell. It happened with the metaverse and it's happening again.

In summary:

Ai hasn't materially improved since the launch of Chatgpt4, which wasn't that big of an upgrade to 3.

There is currently no technological roadmap for ai to become better than it is. (As Jim Covello said on the Goldman Sachs report, the evolution of smartphones was openly planned years ahead of time.) The current problems are inherent to the current technology and nobody has indicated there is any way to solve them in the pipeline. We have likely reached the limits of what LLMs can do, and they still can't do much.

Don't believe AI companies when they say things are going to improve from where they are now before they provide evidence. It's time for the AI shills to put up, or shut up.

listen there definitely does need to be a discussion about more ethical merch sourcing but i really really don't think acting like independent artists running convention tables are the rich we should be eating is the way to have it. no one is above reproach we are all complicit in capitalism etc but people have GOT to stop inventing impossible moral standards for individuals making independent art when the entities creating the conditions making them impossible are right there. it's the same bullshit as aggressively content policing queer creators with tiny platforms, all indiscriminate vitriol does is shut down smaller operations while bigger ones with way more impact on the things we care about continue as usual. the artist alley circuit folding wouldn't affect the huge dealers reselling bootleg or ai shit around the corner but it would make it harder for anyone to make non-corporate art.

the conversation is a lot of "people need to buy fewer Things" but we're not discussing the fact that people won't pay for art on its own, making merch to make money to keep making the art itself is a response to external conditions. again, i agree that ethical production and environmental responsibility are things creators should reckon with!! we still need to contend with what our decisions mean for others!! but going straight after indie artists for making phone charms instead of LITERALLY anyone else in this industry is WILD. business guys in the dealer room are running entire companies on ai work and funko is out here selling its 594th conan batman pop or whatever but at least we ran off a small creator for funding queer art with pronoun pins

[ayeforscotland]

Hard to not write a novel on how utterly wrong this is.

The decline in the UK economy is due to a culture brought about by risk averse governments. They are so cautious that they never make a decision on anything.

We get puffed chests about being world leaders in ‘AI’, and barely any deeper thought is given to how we actually do that. It’s always played for the media, and it’s always accompanied with the publication of a white paper that suggests all the various things they could try to do.

But then nothing comes of it. They do not want to take any action. They instead hope that a private company gets lucky and ‘becomes a unicorn’.

Except, due to being so risk averse, they never offer government contracts to any company that isn’t a giant corporate. So the smaller private companies can’t grow. So they can’t be ‘unicorns’ because they can’t get the attention of larger companies in the private sector.

But they need to keep up the illusion that they care about these smaller businesses, so use a mixture of government quangos that get SMEs to compete for £25K grants.

Unions and the Defence of Supergiant Games

Hey, so I'm pretty sure everyone and their mom has seen takes on Hades 2 rn bc of what one of the VAs said. This is causing a lot more harm then good rn and, while I don't claim to be an expert on unions, but even just basic research shows Supergiant is largely innocent and this is a misunderstanding.

Supergiant stated they will not be recasting and also they don't fall under the companies that can not be working or supported during the SAG- AFTRA strike.

Being an indie development company, they do not fall under the issues SAG is striking and possibly can not even sign said agreement because they are an indie company (i'd have to fact-check that). This strike is supposed to affect larger companies like EA, Sony, X-Box, etc who are pushing for AI. Below is a statement from Supergiant about the statement made by the VA.

When similar strikes happened for both SAG and the WGA, other smaller companies did not have to halt production because their work did not meet the guidelines that the strike fell under. Spindel Horse and GLITCH are both indie animation companies that did not have to halt production.

One other example is Dropout.TV where they did not need to stop under SAG rules and guidelines, they did so out of respect. While Supergiant could, they don't have too and why would they? Fans have been waiting for almost three years now and they are polishing at a record speed.

Secondly is the term "Scab" being thrown around when it comes to who Supergiant hires, which largely comes from people not knowing what a true scab is.

A Scab ISN'T any person working in a given position when a strike is happening. It's a member of SAID UNION who crosses the picket line or does work for lower pay then the Union states.

Unions have several levels of entry that not all people meet. Being under smaller workers unions for starters along with proof of employment and others.

Supergiant, being smaller and indie makes it so it can hire people who aren't SAG members and help promote them to be bigger names in the industry along with eventually becoming possible members of the unions.

For example, Michael Kovach (famous VA for Jax from TADC, Several characters from Poppy Playtime, One character in Billie Bust Up (IDK), and most famously the original pilot VA for Angeldust from Hazbin Hotel) is not a member of SAG but supports the union and has been in multiple roles since the SAG strikes began.

While I have not done research into who exactly is being called a "Scab" in terms of the Supergiant controversy, please keep yourself educated about the term because it is super derogatory and may cause these people to never be able to join the unions. Being labeled a "scab", even incorrectly, makes it nearly impossible for people to join unions.

A lot of the "If you don't join a union then your against unions" mentality I've seen from people creates a harmful, uneducated stereotype that large corporations want. They want normal consumers to see Union Supporters as aggressive and hopping down your throat to deny you money. This villainizes unions in the long run.

Overall, Supergiant is not doing anything wrong and the mob mentality jump on them comes from a lack of educated perspectives (esp since a large portion of this community is the younger demographic with not much union knowlege).

While I don't see it happening, the large explosion of this on social media along with the VA's lack of understanding may cause Supergiant (or even other companies) to not work with them again after Hades 2 is complete. This is a huge liability that is harming their company and, if they do proceed to go this route I do not blame them, and neither should you. This is safety and security in their brand so more games we appreciate can come out in the future. The VA is a grown adult who has made decisions and will deal with the consequences when/if they happen. Please send no hate to Supergiant or the VA who I have intentionally left nameless so nobody can attack them. Thank you.

[shelleysmary]

lots of fans have made valid points and written well-thought-out posts about the trop ai drama, so i'm not gonna rehash them, but i do want to bring up something that no one seems to be talking about and it's the impulse that leads people to plug these things into ai generators in the first place.

fandom over the last year especially has become increasingly toxic to the point that actual billion-dollar corporations are afraid it. the result is subpar, pandering films, books, and television shows that break no new ground, recycle old tropes, and sacrifice story integrity to avoid catching heat from the loudest, most entitled people in the room. i'm calling this an issue of entitlement first and foremost because the idea that the audience should have any say over a non-crowd-created media project is preposterous. deciding that the cons outweigh the pros of watching something and choosing to walk away without making a fuss is a lost discipline now because everyone with an internet connection and a social media account believes that their vision reigns supreme. "how dare this show downplay my favorite ship! they were supposed to kiss! that was the whole point! the absence of this one thing i had on my wishlist is a crime against me personally!" so they turn to ai and click some buttons and now these gifs exist and are being circulated with an air of "i've righted a wrong." worse, the use of ai in this way is being conflated with the creation of fanworks???

there are reasons why i don't believe the ai saurondiel kiss is on the same raft as, say, making them kiss in a drawing or a published fanfic, but my main concern is with the spirit behind each. fanworks are made in homage to the source material, even the fix-it fics. there is an acknowledgment, a separation even, between the television show and the fanwork. this separation is necessary and i would say even integral to the nature of fan creation, while ai closes that gap until it no longer exists. the elimination of space between creator and audience also happens on social media, when disgruntled fans who have taken umbrage with a fictional character or creative decision directly harass the writers or the actors involved. more and more, fans are demanding to be in the rooms, in the minds, and to exert control over the people who tell their stories, and it has only ever worked to our collective detriment. now i'm not saying that if you liked and shared the saurondiel ai kiss that you're the same as the internet trolls who harass (mostly) women and people of color online. but i'm begging you to do some self-reflection and ask yourself why you feel entitled to seeing what you want on your screen.

what has changed in the last few years that would make you dissatisfied with, say, reading someone's fic or making your own drawing? is it a matter of "the tool is there, so why not use it?" is it "i believe it should have happened and it didn't and i feel cheated?" or maybe there's been a pattern you've noticed in your recent media "consumption" (god, i hate that word) where, unless a show or television series goes the exact way you want it to, it feels like you've been defrauded somehow? i'm not being facetious. i'm inviting you to notice that what you're feeling is probably discomfort, disappointment, maybe even cognitive dissonance because you imagined it going one way, and now you're at a loss because it didn't. you built it up in your head, you had something to look forward to, you were convinced that it would happen, it was exciting and you were so eager to get to that point, and then.... and then...

we've all been there. and it sucks. but i also want to remind you of how important it is to preserve the separation. this space is ours. the writer's room, the filming set, the editing room, those spaces are theirs. the actors' likenesses are theirs. thinking beyond trop, the separation is how we get creative works that challenge us politically, emotionally, that make us uncomfortable and tell us important truths. writers shouldn't have to - and shouldn't FULL STOP - do what we want them to do. sometimes that means knowing when to walk away, when to say "i no longer enjoy this show, i will no longer support it" or "i will continue to watch but pretend things went differently," the latter of which has been the spark that has moved so many online fans to draw, paint, write, or sew. it's a type of creation that allows "canon" and "fanon" to exist parallel to one another. moreover, the effort it takes to make anything with your own two hands, with your own time, and with your own energy increases your appreciation for the creative impulse. films and books and television stop being "products" for your "consumption" because you're aware of what goes into them, and it becomes easier to look at things you don't like or disagree with and say, "you know what, i'm gonna pass," or "not in my headcanon."

oh, and by the way plugging things into an ai generator? is theft. the same way that it's generally frowned upon for people to use ai to, say, write the rest of an unfinished fic without the express permission of the fanwork creator, using the actors' likenesses to make them kiss goes against everything the actors' union fought for last year. i'll also add that it's incredibly creepy. almost all of us are in agreement that intimacy coordinators are a good thing because they act - again! - as a separation between what's "real" and what isn't, the same way going on ao3 and reading a fic that very clearly says on the tin that it's a fanfic, unaffiliated with the official ip, is a separation. it's another beast entirely to normalize fan-use of ai, to say you support creatives, support actors, support unions, and then do this in your personal life. i repeat the question: what impulse leads anyone to believe that this is okay other than a feeling of misplaced ownership?

tl;dr: ai nonsense does not belong in fandom spaces. (in my home state of california, it is illegal to use digital replicas of an actor's voice or likeness in place of their actual services without their informed consent [which, in spirit, is what you're doing by using ai to make your gifs]). we all just need to mind our own business and go back to writing our fix-it fics and complaining to our friends in relative peace. if you're finding it impossible to do so, ask yourself why. remember that fanart is our longstanding tradition. stop outsourcing it to an unregulated technology just because your two faves didn't kiss.

AI in Corporate Governance: Transforming Decision-Making and Compliance in 2025

Introduction: The Role of AI in Corporate Governance

Corporate governance is evolving rapidly with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI). In 2025, AI is not just an enabler but a driving force behind ethical decision-making, compliance, risk management, and transparency in businesses worldwide. Companies are leveraging AI in corporate governance to enhance efficiency, minimize risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. This shift towards AI-driven governance is redefining corporate structures and fostering accountability at unprecedented levels.

How AI is Revolutionizing Corporate Governance

1. Enhancing Decision-Making Processes

AI-driven analytics allow companies to process vast amounts of data in real-time, providing actionable insights for executives and board members. With AI-powered dashboards, decision-makers can predict market trends, assess risks, and strategize more effectively.

2. Automating Compliance and Risk Management

AI simplifies compliance by automating documentation, monitoring regulatory changes, and flagging potential violations. Companies using AI-powered governance tools can ensure they meet evolving regulations, avoiding costly penalties and reputational damage.

3. Fraud Detection and Prevention

AI algorithms analyze financial transactions and employee activities to detect anomalies that may indicate fraud or unethical behavior. By leveraging machine learning, corporations can prevent financial misconduct and enhance corporate integrity.

4. AI-Powered Boardroom Insights

Corporate boards are utilizing AI to assess performance metrics, financial health, and strategic growth opportunities. AI-driven reports offer unbiased assessments, ensuring decisions are based on accurate data rather than intuition.

5. Improving Shareholder Engagement

AI-driven chatbots and automated reporting systems allow shareholders to access real-time company updates, ensuring transparency and fostering trust between stakeholders and corporate leaders.

The Impact of AI on Compliance and Ethics

Real-Time Regulatory Monitoring

AI tools scan regulatory databases to keep businesses updated with changing laws, ensuring compliance across different jurisdictions. This is particularly beneficial for multinational corporations dealing with complex legal frameworks.

Bias-Free Decision Making

By removing human bias from decision-making, AI enhances corporate ethics, ensuring fairness in employee management, board selections, and strategic growth initiatives.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and AI

AI assesses sustainability efforts, employee welfare, and social impact, helping companies align with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria.

Challenges in Implementing AI in Corporate Governance

Data Privacy and Security Concerns – AI relies on vast datasets, raising concerns about data breaches and privacy violations.

AI Bias and Ethical Dilemmas – Poorly trained AI models can reinforce biases, leading to discriminatory practices.

Cost of AI Implementation – Small and medium enterprises may struggle with the financial burden of integrating AI solutions.

Regulatory Uncertainty – As AI evolves, governments worldwide are still developing regulatory frameworks, making compliance complex.

The Future of AI in Corporate Governance

By 2030, AI is expected to play an even greater role in corporate governance, with fully automated compliance systems, AI-driven board advisory roles, and predictive analytics for risk assessment becoming standard practices. Companies that embrace AI today will be the leaders in ethical governance tomorrow.

Conclusion: Why AI is the Future of Corporate Governance

AI in corporate governance is no longer optional; it is essential for companies aiming to remain competitive in an increasingly regulated and complex business environment. From real-time compliance tracking to bias-free decision-making, AI is transforming how corporations operate, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and ethical leadership.

This post is a very long rant about Generative AI. If you are not in the headspace to read such content right now, please continue scrolling.

....

....

It has come to my attention that a person who I deeply admire is Pro-AI. Not just Pro-AI, but has become a shill for a multi-billion dollar corporation to promote their destructive generative AI tools, and is doing it voluntarily and willingly. This person is a creative professional and should know better, and this decision by them shows a lack of integrity and empathy for their fellow creatives. They have sold out to not just their own destruction, but to everyone around them, without any concern. It thoroughly disgusts and disappoints me.

Listen, I am not against technological advancements. While I am never the first to adopt a new technology, I have marveled at the leaps and bounds that have been made within my own lifetime, and welcome progress. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models certainly have their place in this world. Right now, scientific researchers are using advanced AI modeling to discover new protein configurations using a program called Alpha-Fold, and the millions of new proteins that were discovered have gone on to the development of life saving cancer treatments, vaccine development, and looking for new ways to battle drug-resistant bacterial infections. Machine learning models are being developed to track and predict climate change with terrifying accuracy, discover new species, researching new ways of dealing with plastic waste and CO2/methane, and developing highly accurate tools for early detection of cancers. These are all amazing advancements that have only been made possible by AI and will save countless millions of lives. THIS is what AI should be used for.

Generative AI, however, is a different beast entirely. It is problematic in many ways, and is destructive by its very nature. All the current models were trained on BILLIONS of copyrighted materials (images, music, text), without the creator's consent or knowledge. That in and of itself is highly unethical. In addition, these computers that run these GenAI programs use an insane amount of resources to run, and are a major contributor to climate change right now, even worse than the NFT and blockchain stuff a few years ago.

GenAI literally takes someone's hard work, puts it into an algorithm that chews it up and spits out some kind of abomination, all with no effort on the part of the user. And then these "creations" are being sold by the boatload, crowding out legitimate artists and professional creatives. Artists like myself and thousands of others who rely on income from art. Musicians, film makers, novelists, and writers are losing as well. It is an uphill battle. The market is flooded right now with so many AI generated art and books that actual artists and writers are being buried. To make matters worse, these generated works often have inaccuracies and spread misinformation and and lead to injury or even death. There are so many AI generated books, for example, about pet care and foraging for plants that are littered with inaccurate and downright dangerous information. Telling people that certain toxic plants are safe to eat, or giving information on pet care that will lead to the animal suffering and dying. People are already being affected by this. It is bad enough when actual authors spread misinformation, but when someone can generate an entire book in a few seconds, this gets multiplied by several orders of magnitude. It makes finding legitimate information difficult or even downright impossible.

GenAI seeks to turn the arts into a commodity, a get-rich-quick money making scheme, which is not the point of art. Automating art should never be the goal of humanity. Automating dangerous and tedious tasks is important for progress, but automating art is taking away our humanity. Art is all about the human experience and human expression, something a machine cannot ever replicate and it SHOULDN'T. Art should come from the heart and soul, not some crap that is mass produced to make a quick buck. Also developing your skills as an artist, whether that is through drawing, painting, sculpture, composing music, songwriting, poetry, creative writing, animation, photography, or making films, are not just about human expression but develop your brain and make you a more well rounded person, with a rich and deep experience and emotional connection to others. Shitting out crappy art and writing just to make a quick dollar defeats the entire purpose of all of that.

In addition, over-reliance on automated and AI tools is already leading to cognitive decline and the deterioration of critical thinking skills. When it is so easy to click a button and generate a research paper why bother putting the work in? Students are already doing this. Taking the easy way out to get a grade, but they are only hurting themselves. When machines do your thinking for you, what is there left to do? People will lose the ability to develop even basic skills.
