#block ai accounts

From what I've seen, it's just one account (eramm) on here, whom I have now blocked. I suggest everyone else do the same.

Fucking begging Wyler fandom to stop trying to make AI art “happen”

[godbirdart]

man,, deviantart really did turn into a site of just. AI trash.

half my follow recommendations are AI adopt accounts or people churning out other bot-generated garbage under the guise of “original art”. i hate having to go in and do a pseudo background check for skill development/history and account age for every artist whose work piques my interest. i hate having to guess if the person’s a scam artist or if they just happened to start posting to deviantart because of some other thing like a site collapsing.

hi

ai 'artists' are not welcome on my blog looking at machine generated slop genuinely makes me feel nauseous

[redwinterroses]

So I was curious to see how much scraping AI had done of the mcyt side of AO3, so I clenched my teeth, went to a ChatGPT knockoff and told it to "write me a Hermitcraft fanfic about Grian's backstory and true name."

My logic was that "Xelqua" and the Watchers are pretty fanfic specific and not likely to have been pulled from sources like wikis or any place outside of something like AO3. I figured if it brought up Xelqua or anything about masks, etc., that would be a pretty good indicator that it had scraped mcyt fics.

This is what I got, and I can't stop laughing.

GREGORY.

Forget Xelqua, that's old news. Grian's true name, "brimming with deep meaning and symbolism", is Gregory.

ignoring for the moment the fact that the name gregory means... um. it means 'watchful.' just...we're just ignoring that.

...I think I'm going to take this as evidence that at least the mcyt side of AO3 maybe hasn't been thoroughly scraped just yet.

ultrakill is funny because everyone that's really into it is either trans or cryptofash and there's very little inbetween

[technoxenoholic]

this is just a reminder that i block ""ai artists"", more accurately described as generative ai plagiarism prompters. i'm an actual artist and y'all ain't welcome here

[iron-sparrow]

Another reminder I will block anyone who posts/shares AI-generated images. Please be vigilant! Takes only a few seconds to spot the AI fuckery in a picture.

okay so I've been getting a bunch of asks that have been just links to tumblr posts talking about the whole tumblr/ai thing. And while I get that these probably mean well and are informing me on what's going on, cryptically leaving links in my asks without context feels really spammy and just bizarre. I normally delete them, but I'm replying to this one to both set a boundary and share my opinion on the situation.

While I respect the decision for the other creatives leaving tumblr if this recent AI nonsense thing is a deal breaker for them- I will not be leaving tumblr. I've come to really love this place! It's a breath of fresh air from twitter, where I always have to be tight lipped, professional and tone police myself constantly. I get to nerd out about superhero stuff here, in a community of like-minded people that encourage me! Tumblr's the only place I feel comfortable enough to let loose and be really silly.

You can skip this if you don't want to read a mini pillowofort review. I already have a pillowfort account, it's on my pinned post. I gave it a try, but pillowfort still has a lot of growing to do. I tried their group forum things, posting into art + comics groups and talking to people, but it rarely resulted in building a connection. I even found a DC Comics group! For a fandom that big, it sure feels weird when for a good while I was the only one posting in that group. It kind of reminded me of Deviantart groups where they can sometimes build communities, but most people just use them to give their art traction and visibility. They didn't have a way to toggle my dashboard/TL so that I can filter between groups/tags/the people I actually follow. So most of the time I'm seeing people spam post into groups and can hardly see what the artists I follow are posting :( As a site, it still has a ways to go.

If yall want to follow me elsewhere, I'm on cohost (it's not perfect either, but I'm actually able to connect with people there- and I can toggle between users and tags I follow)! And I'm still on twitter and instagram. I only post jl remix and fanon stuff here for the most part though.

Sam!- i didn’t know you had tumblr 2! :O

I DO!!! Hello!! I also have a bluesky! Since people were moving over there from twitter, I made one in case twitter actually started crashing down and everyone was removing themselves from twitter!

I mainly shitpost about Ninjago on twitter, which I use to do on here as well but then I eventually got lazy 😭

[sofastuffing]

I love you mute lists

I love you word blacklists

I love you blocklists

I love controlling my online experience so that my ability to exist as a freelancer is not an uphill battle against seeing the constant influx of bad news and burning out as a result of it.

There is nothing wrong with mediating what, when, and how you are exposed to news. It is no one's business how and when you put time, energy, and emotions into something extremely important. Not a single human is entitled to know how you prevent yourself from being spread too thin. You need to take care of yourself before you can sustainably take care of others. "Block and move on" is not just for fiction, it includes real world things that distress and trigger you.

Y'all don't care about posting and reblogging AI art fr hey?

[danses-with-dogmeat]

Hey y'all, quick question. Is anyone else getting really general comments on their ao3 works from generic names that seem very bot-like?

At first glance, the comments were nice, but they don't make a lot of sense in regards to the content (these were all on the recent Arcade angst oneshot I wrote) but if they're bots, I don't see the point in comments like these? Since there's no link or anything, and the accounts don't have anything on them from what I can tell. Idk, I'm just curious if anyone else is experiencing this at all, or if anyone knows what their purpose is.
