god wow that ai post really WAS that bad. and from such a promising artist too!! And while I can somewhat see the point of originality cause fanart is based off preexisting stuff, trying to say someone's fanart isn't someone's own true art is so fucking stupid. Like I'm so serious that's so godamn stupid. Inspiration is an inherit human thing! Ofc every piece of media ever is inspired by something, even old shit like superman, dragonball and mario! Acting like that doesn't mean it's someone's "true art" is so arrogant and dumb, especially when trying to make the case that ai isn't bad.

wow it's been a while since a post annoyed me that bad but seriously ai has been the enemy for writers, voice/live-action actors, and artists for months! How is the point missed that badly!

YEAH RIGHT???? like uhhh inspiration comes free with your fucking creativity!! ai has none of that, just algorithms.

Tracing isn't even like ai either, it's practice- knowing how shapes work, and with enough of it, can influence a style... or can simply help inform you how to change it up! Which AI inherently can't do on it's own. It's aggregate date things.

And I'm also tired of ai defenders saying it frees things up for disabled people to make art. Which is wrong! They can always make some type of art without the use of complicated stealing ai which scours places for data sets to smash into itself.

Art can be anything. AI maybe could've been handy- a system to see something similar about your own art, a system that provides something you want to put your own spin on

But no. AI is stealing, and AI is being used to PUT ARTISTS OUT OF JOBS COMPLETELY. I saw a post that claimed that there's been scares like this before, but none of the technology before then just outright made """"new"""" looking art...

We don't need copyright protection, we need restrictions on those AI systems. And if they want to work on making AI better after we make sure employers, uh, Don't? Try to replace artists with things that can make """new""" art, then I think that's fine.

Not to go even further on a tangent but uhhh you know the gay sex cat picture that was ai created and the creator made a bit of a point about which I forgot because once others figured out it was ai generated I deleted and ignored?

Well I was just thinking about that and it's like. If it weren't for the fact that AI has been just rampantly stealing from artists, it would've been a pretty funny post. It's fuckin gay sex cats. But because of the AI thing, we tossed it.

'Stop training the system that will only be used to further devalue artists' kinda thing.

Remember right when the thing started, where there wasn't much data and it was just kinda freaky? People used that for inspiration. That's not stealing, that's exercising creativity, and I just. Ughh.

Thanks for ranting and enabling this rant now uhhh I'm not tagging this except for long post.
