I've been on my soap box about generative AI before and no doubt I'll do it again, but I'm seeing more and more AI art show up in the community lately, and with the recent ST issue, it's starting to get disheartening.

The only thing I want AI to do is the things that make life a chore so I have more time to do art, not do my art so I have more time for chores.

For most of my pieces, I put how long it took me (according to procreate's in app timer). Cumatively, I've spent 100s of hours making art in the past 3 years alone, and even within those years I've learned and improved. I went to art classes for specific skills, I went to college, and I'm constantly learning new things from the wonderful artists that I have met over the years. Just for all of that time, skill and effort to be scalped to feed a machine that churns up soulless images. 

Art takes time to learn and time to make. And if you really can't draw or have no interest in learning - commission an artist or just talk about your ideas! If you're in the same fandom, it's likely we're excited about the same thing too! Or look out for artists asking for suggestions etc

AI is hurting real people. It's trained using art created by human artists who didn't give permission for their art to be used this way. It's now showing up on book covers, album covers, and even visuals on screens at concerts - all taking opportunities away from real people.

And the latest instance of AI within the ST community and support from what appears to be some sort of management, is a kick in the teeth to all of those artists who have had fan art wrongfully removed and even accounts shut down - even when clearly marked not for sale.

A key point of human made art is the act of communicating some sense of meaning or message - AI art does not and cannot do this. And AI art can never create anything fundamentally new or challenging - humans have and humans will.

Support human artists
