HELP AMIR GET THE NOM!

Hey Alastor & Hazbin fans!!

Amir Talai needs the powers of the internet to do its thing and get the word out to those that CAN vote for the Emmy Nominations.

All you need to do is repost, share, and hashtag the heck out amir's posts for the emmys.

He's heading to Mississippi and may not be online much this weekend.

Let's get this talented man and this amazing show the recognition it deserves.

Okay so apparently last Saturday Alastor's voice actor Amir Talai said on his Instagram story that amazon prime had something planned for Hazbin on Oct. 31.

Thought I would put this hear in case anyone's interested. Also, can't wait for Halloween.

Making some digging to find the post in which Amir Talai (Alastor's VA) states that he isn't officially aroace, but for now I'd just like to drop this.

Sorry to disappoint... that is not how this ends." [paagraph break] Altruist is not his last name. [two paragraph breaks] #HazbinHotel [paragraph break] #HazbinHotelAlastor /end Id.]

Tweet by luke (@/veesvox): hello @/AmirTalai sir i was wondering if you are okay with the AI voice covers featuring your voice that have been posted on yt and here

Reply by Amir Talai 😈 (@/AmirTalai): no I hate them thx for asking

Reply by Amir Talai 😈 (@/AmirTalai): ai is theft and stealing my voice even for “fun” is not cute and I’m not cool with it. I recognize that there’s not much I can do about it until governments step in to create fulsome regulation. But if you want to know how I feel, that’s it. Up to you whether you choose to respect it.

Second Image:

Tweet by Creole Eldritch Jambalaya, SCDT (twitter url not visible in image): Every time one pops up in my recommended feed on YouTube I block the channel. I have zero tolerance for AI art and voice theft.

Quote tweet by Amir Talai 😈 (@/AmirTalai): this is the way // End Image Description

What is your opinion of AI? Personally, I think that like any technology, it depends on the user and their intentions, but that is just me.

What about you?

1. Theft

The most central issues with AI as it is now is that the programs were trained/are trained with STOLEN art. Stolen visual art, music, writing, etc.

The vast majority of what it has been fed is stolen. As in, the artists behind the work were not ever given the chance to consent nor be compensated for their works being used to feed the machine.

This reason alone is straight up copyright infringement and the optimist in me does believe the long arm of the law is gonna shut these programs down for that. But the long arm of the law is looooooong, and the technology is disrupting people’s livelihoods now. Unlike robots or machinery that was invented and built to expedite assembly line/factory work, this technology is only functional by using other people’s labor. If we didn’t live in a society where you have to “earn” your right to live in it, then this would still be wrong, but it probably wouldn’t be such an existential problem.

There are active class action lawsuits for infringement of copyright. And the private sector has begun filing suits and I’m quite certain they’ll win because again—it’s simply theft. These companies did not make licensing contracts, they’re not paying royalties to the artists they stole from.

So if you consider using ai that generates “art” (whether it is visual, music, writing, etc.) please consider stopping immediately, as you would actively be benefiting from theft (which is wrong imo!!!!)

2. AI in its present form dishonors the human spirit

In my personal relationship with AI technology, I do not use it to generate ideas or ‘art’. I detest the notion to use technology in that way tbh. AI is a form of technology, so it’s difficult to break it down into every specific use it actually has. But here’s an attempt; no to generative AI, okay to certain AI.

There are kinds of AI programming in the programs I use (such as features that help you color in a shape quickly or make a perfect circle). This is useful tech (that requires zero IP theft) and I like it because it helps me by taking care of tedious tasks so that I have more time to spend in the creative and drawing processes. But I still choose the colors, I still draw the images, I still write the stories.

I think the way AI is used right now with a focus on “creative thinking” (where it’s not actually creating anything it’s just churning out other people’s *stolen* ideas and practice) is a total waste. AI being used as an assistant to help humans find information easily can be/has been swell. And requires no theft :D

But for whatever reason (greed, capitalism are my guesses), tech companies are leaning into a direction to replace creativity with AI?? I imagine the people behind this view the practice of art as tedious work because it is challenging??

But the beauty of art and the practice of it is that it allows humans to experience and overcome challenges with little to no stakes.

When society determines that is not a valuable use of human time, then I think we’ll all be significantly more miserable. If we allow a machine to be “creative” and leave us to only experience challenges with stakes—like survival (rent, putting food on the table).

So here are some examples of how I feel about AI uses;

AI to translate languages, find resources, discern malicious malware/spam from harmless messages > 👍🏽

AI to generate ideas/art for you > 🤢 Why??????? Why would you want that…that’s the most exceptional part of the human experience and you relinquish it to a bot trained on stolen ideas? 😭
