#don’t support ai

[sunny-m00n]

Ok the AI stuff was fun at first but the more I look into it the more I understand where Ray Bradbury was going with some of his work-

But seriously I’m starting to get really worried about the state of creative endeavors. If we are replacing the heart and soul of fandoms (roleplay, vrchat impression shenanigans, fandubs with casts of actual people, fanficton, fanart, etc.) with AI generated nothing-meal, we are going to watch the spirit of creation out of love die. Seeing people make what they want to see, and what others may want to see, out of pure love for a piece of media is what makes fandom a unique aspect of internet culture. It feels like more and more we are handing over the magic of the internet to corporations to mash into bland goo for use to just see and forget. Please stop making AI art and please stop using AI to make actor’s voices. It ruins people who depend on this form of expression for one reason or another and it takes the magic of creativity and performance away. We are already loosing our old internet for more “modern” slop that is all the same nothing. If we don’t do something and stop using, or at the very least try to lower the amount of usage for this stuff, we will loose the magic of man-made entertainment and expression. I hope you read this and have at the very least limited the amount of AI usage you partake in. I know it’s hard with so many sites and everything using them to make things “easier”, but please try, for originally and what makes fans of a show or game or whatever have some contribution to our favorite media…

Have a wonderful day.

I’m so disappointed. In two weeks I saw 4 gorgeous pieces of black art BUT they were AI. So I could not reblog them.

if you don’t support AI art, don’t support AI covers either. that’s stealing peoples voices and their work. it’s not cool.

No AI. I can’t even read machine translated novels without cringing, I can only imagine the disaster of AI writing.

So... apparently the NaNoWriMo organization has been gutted and the people at the top now are fully focused on Getting That AI Money.

I have no reason to say this other than Vibes™️ and the way that every other org who has pivoted to AI has behaved but I wouldn't trust anything shared with or stored on their servers not to be scraped for training LLMs. That includes pasting stuff into the site to verify your word count, if that's still a thing. (I haven't done Nano since 2015).

Also of note:

Age gating has been implemented. If you haven't added your date of birth to your profile or if you're under 18, it's supposed to lock you out of local region pages and the forums. ... It's worth noting that the privacy policy on the webpage doesn't specify how that data is stored and may not be GDPR compliant.

...

Camp events are being run solely by sponsors. Events for LGBTQIA+, disabled writers, and writers of color no longer appear to be a thing at NaNo.

Just... go read the whole thing. It's not that long. Ugh.

PSA: Tumblr/Wordpress is preparing to start selling our user data to Midjourney and OpenAI.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. if you don’t have the option available, update your app or close your browser/refresh a few times. important to note you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out.

Instead of writing a fanfic like a normal person this oneshot turned into two separate, contextless things,

I fully agree, but I doubt the masses would follow.

Too many are ignorant (sometimes willingly so) of how bad AI is.

Some choose to ignore it even when they because they want to use it themselves. Their argument is they are small potatoes and it doesn’t matter. But the truth is, it does.

Listen: If a movie written by AI is released, we don't go to see it. We don't spend our money. We stay home and make it flop. OK?

These kid and ochako parallels are actually killing me… ochako has been haunting the epilogue narrative the entire time OH MY GOD I love you Horikoshi.

Anyway if you think izuku calling her “his hero” is romantic just please. Please read the chapter again. Izuocha is shoved aside by tsu AGAIN (as per usual)

And the last page is entirely about equating Ochako and Izuku’s interaction here, to an old grandmother saving a sad child on the street. Are we really gonna fall for it again and again. He baits us every time how do y’all still fall for it.

Idk y’all, I just think Ochako should have the chance to be saved in the same way she’s saved izuku. Maybe it’s not about Izuocha being canon. Maybe it’s not all about Izuku and his suffering throughout this epilogue. Actually given these last two chapters, it seems MORE about Ochako’s pain than anything else.

Because she’s a hero who needs saving.

I can’t even fathom the fact I drew this. ANYWAYS HOPE YALL LOVE THIS AS MUCH AS I DO!!!

Someone on Facebook used AI to see what Mulder and Scully’s kids would look like and they’re all just as attractive as you’d imagine
