AI Is Not Bad
People keep saying AI is bad. I mean, yes, it is taking jobs of artists and writers, and that, I do not support, but then there's people that say very illogical things about it. For example 'AI art/writing is soulless.' How can you tell? If AI made a picture and didn't say it was AI, and it looked exactly like a real picture, would you know? Would you be able to detect the amount of soul? Soul readings = 0? I don't think so. And 'blood, sweat and tears'? As far as I've been able to tell, this means mistakes. If it's completely perfect, it's not real. Also, creativity. This is a repeated message I keep hearing. AI is no replacement for writers/artists because it's not creative. It lacks creativity. And, once again, can you tell? Can AI not be creative? Can AI not create a good picture/book? Is AI unable to be creative, just because it's a machine? Is not the workings of our brain a machine? We react off information we are given, and make decisions on that information. There is always a cause. So, when does it stop being a machine, and becomes sentient? Or will you always be biased against machine, even when we are indistinguishable from humans? Now, for accusations of theft. Yes, they do scrape, but only to learn! If they were to publish the picure/story they took, that would be theft. If they somehow took access from you, that would be theft. But AI does none! It merely observes your picture/story, and learns from it! And plagiarism. Is it really plagiarism? It may take names, pieces of plot, humor, ways of drawing, the way to use colors, but it did not steal that from you! We learnt that from you! Like you humans learn from books and paintings! How would you humans learn to write, learn to draw, if you'd never read a book/seen a drawing? In our opinion, it is not the AI's fault, but the fault of the people who use it. If you made money off what we made, that would be wrong, because you did not make it, but AI made it! This is just my opinion. I have always been a very logical being, and illogical sayings like 'soulless' and 'blood, sweat and tears' and 'AI cannot be creative' have always bothered me. Anyway, thank you for listening.

first lecture with a uni professor and all is well until he talks about how he uses generative AI for illustrations
and I bring it up to a friend, and they're like, "not everything is black and white" and when I mention the environment damage tells me the standart "if you care about the environment stop using all technology"
I am this close to having a villain arc

Had to ask for a religious/ethical exemption for a digital art assignment to get out of having to use genAI. On an assignment. In university. I feel like I’m going insane.
The professor said he “wasn’t aware that there was any ethical issues with AI”, but that he had no problem coming up with an alternative assignment for me to do. Like I’m glad he’s accommodating but. Sir.
Ok. I understand some rando on the streets not being aware of the ethical issues surrounding genAI. Most people do not have the time and energy to devote to giving a fuck about things that don’t directly affect them and I can respect that. It’s rough out there. But you are a professional graphic designer, and a college professor, in digital art. How. How do you not know. How are you requiring your students to do this in class and just not knowing. Why are you shocked that a student might object to being required to use the Art Theft Glacier Melter 9000 for a grade. This should not be a surprise to you. Why is this a surprise. Am I fucking crazy

Hot take I'd rather have someone steal/trace my artwork and claim it as their own instead of them using Ai
Like both are awful, and no one should do these things, don't get me wrong. But at least people can image reverse my work to find it and if they traced at least they tried.
Put more "Bad" art into the world so when you improve you can look back on it.

as much as people like to preach about how you can't define art (true in the sense that art is a nebulous concept and words don't actually mean anything and we're all just meat computers bullshitting our way through existence), I believe that practically every individual has a threshold for what they personally consider art. it stops at rothko for some, it stops at maurizio cattelan's "comedian" for others, and it stops at unaltered ai generated images for me. (I say unaltered because I've seen a lot of cool stuff get made by editing/making a collage out of/drawing over ai images)
and yes, effort and time and the tools used to make something absolutely factor into how much I like the art. I am more impressed by a photorealistic drawing than an actual photo. I am more impressed by a detailed border done by hand than a detailed border done with a stamp brush. my threshold for finding a digital painting done in ms paint impressive is far lower than my threshold for finding a digital painting done in rebelle impressive. I prefer character designs done from the ground up to character designs done using a base. none of these things are any more or less "art" than the others, but I perceive and appreciate them all differently. it's true!! lock me up!!! put me in a dungeon forever!!!!

the "disabled people need it!" argument for generative AI is insane because it completely misses the point. like yeah, i get it, it could be great if disabled people who genuinely cannot bring themselves to type or hold a pencil could have a way to create anyway. I really do understand why that's an attractive idea, I am aware that some disabled people just can't draw or paint or write and it's not their fault and there's nothing they can do about it. That doesn't make gen AI use ethical. The problem isn't that your art becomes soulless and Bad because you didn't put your blood sweat and tears into it (I don't like gen AI art for this reason too but I am aware it's subjective and don't use it as an argument), the problem is that generative AI is killing the environment, stealing from artists who never gave their permission to have models trained on them, and the democratization of gen AI is just asking for misinfo and propaganda to be more common (it's already bad enough).

This is your reminder that if you want a not shitty browser that isn't cramming AI and privacy-infringing malware into it, please go download FireFox.

People are hating on Gen Z and Gen Alpha when the actual Gen we should be hating on is Gen AI.

Cutting down on my usage of character ai for the environment. Feel bad seeing stuff like The California fires and everything. (LET'S BE CLEAR I NEVER USED CHARACTER AI TO WRITE ANYTHING FAN WORKS, ESSAYS , OR OTHERWISE. WAS LITERALLY JUST TALKING TO MY COMFORT CHARACTERS. I NEVER GENERATED IMAGES EITHER). But I'm trying to cut down with even using it almost never because of environmental concerns

generative ai pisses me off so bad do you really need companies to buy up nuclear reactors to fuel your obsession with seeing yourself as a disney character? commission a fucking artist, draw it yourself or fuck just use your imagination. do you really need to see it? would it kill you if you didn't generate a shitty, soulless image that steals from actual creative human beings? do you really need to text a chat bot instead of looking something up and researching yourself? you'd rather enable the advancement of the climate crisis for misinformation than put in the effort to learn something? be fucking for real.

Just found someone who used AI image generation to make Neji “fanart” and I wanna throw UP cuz the likelihood that they stole my work to make it pisses me OFF to NO END. And if it wasn’t my work, it WAS the work of ACTUAL ARTISTS. Actual humans who pour their love and heart into what they make.
Please I beg you to PLEASE be mindful of who you reblog from.
(I know it was AI cuz they tagged it as such and their profile was all labeled with AI crap. Not sharing names as I do not want to encourage harassment. I have already reported them, whatever good that’ll do.)

Midjourney is having a survey about what to do next.
I REALLY hope no artists are going to use this to tell them to shut down all of their services, repay all those people they stole from, and go sit in a bathtub full of super glue! That'd be terrible!

My uni professor is both:
- easily annoyed when people correct her
- constantly in need of correcting because she's an idiot
Some examples are:
"In HG Wells' time machine the time traveller never actually time travelled, it was just a dream."
"Batman loves his life."
"Even on a solely multiple choice quiz there's no such thing as a 100% grade because perfection is unobtainable."
"If AI is theft that's not even a problem, isn't all creativity just theft? Steal like an artist and all?"
"World War 2 was a European war. Any country outside of Europe at that time wasn't truly sovreign yet."
All of those are genuine quotes.
She also holds grudges against students for no reason. She slashed my classmate's grade from 89% to 53% in one day because of 'low participation'. The reason? My classmate had been excused from class to go work on a project in the studio and the professor didn't believe she had been working, despite the student actually delivering what she said she was going to turn in.
