I didn't log in on Tumblr for a week bc was busy in UNI hell and the second I came back, I heard about the data sold to AI mess and what the fuck am I supposed to do or to say lol...

Anyway, I must add that I'm not going, like, anywhere else. Am I tired of this situation? YES, trust me. I've already experienced art being stolen to be handed over to AI programs (I'm talking about you, DeviantArt) but I'm exhausted from moving from one social to another. The most fucked up thing is that even with a deactivated account, your stuff can be used to training Midjourney and shit, so… like, there's not a lot to do.

The thing that makes me mad is the way Tumblr handled this. By the way they wrote the announcement, it does feel like it has already happened, and the update was just a notice.

#wren text tag #last time a thing like this happened I stopped drawing and posting for 3 years bc I had a mental breakdown lol #mostly bc before I used to draw only my ocs and it didn't feel good knowing they where being put into a meat grinder of an AI art generator #esp if you are like me -> person who spends months working on a character between design and backstory #now I use this blog only for fanart so I don't care a lot lol they are not even my characters #maybe I'll draw so much shipping art that the AI will automatically think it's a canon event lol #also I'm really REALLY rethinking my life decision of study art for a living lol #being an artist in 2020s be like #*NFT* *AI* * your drawing stolen* *your drawing reposted without credits* *erasing watermarks* *stolen artworks used to train AI*#OH YES and the “sorry we don't need an illustrator for this project (shows a poster made with AI)”#GIRLLLLL WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO #I JUST WANT TO DRAW FOR FUCK'S SAKE #forever thinking about those 600+ drawings I had to delete on DA #“I'm an artist” and when I say it this is how I feel 🤡🤡🤡
