Tumblr's recent ai scraping posts and admitting that they'll partner with programs to scrape users, manually having to opt out of it on each individual blog just to try to dodge it, and general woes have really put a damper on how much I want to draw and share. Easy to feel hopeless in these times right with just about everything happening in and around the world but I settled that I'll still share things here for the time being and until tumblr really becomes completely unwelcome to artists.

#not art #text #been just so defeated by it all lately and my will to draw and share it with others has tanked significantly #I just want to meet others who love the things I do and to make meaningful art of things I enjoy #as opposed to having everything I've ever done scraped by someone on the internet who hates artists and wants a shitty generative image #if you really want to put yourself down (I don't recommend it) go to a pro generative ai reddit and see how much they actually hate artists #It's insane over there how they can talk about art and artists like its trash and yet they cling and defend to what they're doing so much #want to use and abuse us but don't want us to stop yet won't respect us? wack #anyhow if you've gotten this far reading me ramble I hope you are living well and surviving these times #the world is suffering right now and my little art troubles are nothing compared to the magnitude of human suffering happening #but we must keep going
