#this is an ai hate blog

[mistysblueboxstuff]

fyi the development of these AI image generators was funded by billionaires for the sole purpose of removing artists out of the equation and putting them out of work

if you think for one second this technology was made to "help artists" you're sadly mistaken

it's money

it's ALWAYS money

Well fuck you NaNoWriMo 🤨

as a mentally ill writer & artist whenever someone defends AI by saying "oh but it lets disabled people do art" it feels like such a huge slap in the face to all the artists who have done art with any number of physical or mental disabilities for the entirety of human history.

can't believe these clowns really said that being against AI is classist and ableist. they can fuck the entire way off.

Not to mention that AI is being unethically used across the board and is actively and massively harming the environment

God I hope no one is using ChatGPT to write Lamb/Braden or Margaret/Blue stuff because that data would almost entirely be trained on my own writing, along with two other people's, and yeah, if you ever do this to my or my buddy's writing, you're getting blocked.

keep that ai shit away from my art/blog. i don’t want her infected by the plagiarism of cowards and i will block people that engage with it unironically

Still An AI Hate Blog LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

So of course I reblogged that Anti AI post this week and my streaming platform of choice is now INUNDATED with commercials about a new AI.. For lawyers to use. To give lawyers back their weekends. Have y'all seen this shit? The government and legal system isn't enough of a mess. Instead of a human being you are paying to review your case, here's an AI that'll review and surely not twist or misinterpret the data in any way. Honestly I'm so fueled with rage I can't even remember the bitch's name right now but when I do I will call her out. I jumped online to see if I could find the answer and now I'm faced with the fact that there like a dozen of the fucking things.

There's no country that starts with a K in Africa.

I HATE IT HERE

UPDATE: Saw the commercial again!

"Who's going to pull an all nighter?"

"Review a ton of evidence!?" <- This is the job? HELLO?

I want to piggyback on the above with a few things, because I keep seeing people saying "AI is a fad like NFTs/crypto and will crash like they did".

Unfortunately once you put out into the world something stupid with the potential to swindle people out of their money, it will take a very very very long time for it to die. Like Beanie Babies are still around, as is collecting and paying good money for them. The money is never going to be what the speculation was at the height of the fad, but it's still not nothing. They're collectibles with limited demand.

Secondly, unlike NTFs and crypto in general that were more like solutions looking for a problem (for NFTs it was how to make money without any tangible goods or services, and for crypto it's how to cut off banks from money exchange by creating yet another currency that banks also partake in), AI is a solution to an existing "problem": namely "how do we get more product to sell quicker and without increasing employee expenses".

Technically you can say NFTs are a solution for how to sell video and digital art installations. Kinda. Sorta. Also on the grand scale of all human problems that need to be solved rn, that's an itty bitty problem that can also be solved through other, more concrete methods. Crypto on the other hand has turned out to be just another currency that solves nothing with the existing monetary systems, since the existing monetary systems themselves were not the problem. Nor was the existence of banks as institutions as such. And banks quickly got involved in investing in crypto because there's money in them hills.

Generative AI on the other hand, was a solution to the age old corporate problem of having to share profits with goddamn pleb employees who do all the work! Yuck! (sarcasm). To the corporations the problem was they want the product, they want to sell the product - They don't want to pay people to do the work. Because paying wages and materials means less profit. And they wanted more product quicker! And Gen AI does exactly that. That's why it's not like crypto or NFTs. It's actually exactly the kind of solution companies were looking for, because they were never interested in quality (much less employee welfare), only profit.

We should really not go along with the corporate lingo on these shifts to automation and AI. Always remember this: They don't want to pay people to do the work.

Companies aren't replacing cashiers with self-scan machines for the customer's convenience. They don't want to pay people to do the work.

Companies aren't using AI to produce a better product. The product produced by AI is notably inferior - they just don't want to pay people to do the work.

Corporate America is not hurting for money. It's not that they can't afford employees -- profits are soaring! They just don't want to pay people to do the work.

Want to actively protect artist from data scraping? From the people that made Glaze, Nightshade does a little extra

[sureuncertainty]

everyone talking about ai generated art a few weeks ago being like omg imagine if this happened with WRITING how ridiculous right? and now it is

[wardog-of-the-endless]

Ok this is EXCELLENT!

This is why it is so important to be critical and double check everything you generate using image generators and text-based AI.

[a-small-writer-in-a-big-world]

I hate people who are like “AI allows me to do these things I wanted to do but can’t because I suck at it” do you think that every person before AI didn’t suck at what they were good at? Do you think it’s worth stealing other people’s passions so you can pretend you’re good at something instead of trying?

[rottingsam]

why ai art is bad: it is recycled art from real artists online. it takes multiple pieces of art, photos and other info online created by real people who put time and effort into their work which is what gives it value. ai is not genuine artificial intelligence and therefore cannot come up with anything on its own, only mash up preexisting media. even if it could create something original it takes away all creative value.

why people are posting ai art on tumblr: teehee notes :3

Reminds me of something I saw the other day:

[ID: A tweet by Reid Southen in response to the user Church of Jeff: "Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly." The post Reid Southen is responding to says "The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth. #ai #generativeAI" /end ID]

I know most people on here don't like to go to the gym because you're all gay nerds. I like to go to the gym. For the purpose of understanding this post please try to imagine that you, too, enjoy going to the gym so that you can empathize with my point here.

Anyway, so imagine you are going to the gym. You're pumped about the concept of getting some muscle on you. Plus, the gym has this "lift weights every day!" challenge with a feasible plan to slowly and safely increase the amount of weight you can lift by the end of the month. Cool!

So anyway you go there, and you're having a good time. But then you notice something. Some people are coming in with these guys in shirts that say LIFT FOR HIRE. You're curious, and you notice over time that some people are actually paying these guys to come in and do the lifting challenge for them.

"Huh," you say to your mega hot, muscled gym buddy. "That's so weird. What's in it for the people paying these guys?"

"Dunno," says your friend, mid bicep curl.

"Um, actually!" says the gym owner. "Some people are disabled, so the only way they can lift weights it to pay LIFT FOR HIRE, inc."

"But wait," you say. "They still aren't lifting the weights though? Paying someone else to lift for you doesn't mean you've lifted the weights."

The gym owner gasps. "How could you SAY that?"

"Because... it's true?" you say. "Uh, if you pay guys to lift your weights, that's probably really good for the guys you are paying. But it's not going to develop your ability to lift at all. Your muscles aren't going to grow, you're just going to lose money and get no results."

"That's ABLEIST," they say. "How DARE you! Some people are LITERALLY paralyzed, did you think of that?"

"Well, yeah, some people are, and that means definitionally they can't lift weights," you explain. "And paying someone else doesn't change that. Maybe if they wanted to like, move something in their house it would make total sense to hire these guys! But if you hire them to do your workout you get nothing, because the purpose of a workout is personal development. I'm not morally condemning people who do it, but it seems like a waste of money when this event is, again, about improving one's personal abilities."

"This is absolutely DISGUSTING, CLASSIST rhetoric!" the gym owner roars, and then turns to one of the LIFT FOR HIRE guys, "Pay no attention this disgusting person, dear sponsor, we support your business and we totally want you to keep funding our gym!"

"Sponsor?" says your hot muscled friend who was way too busy actually doing their workout and getting gains to engage in dumb discourse. "Oh, now it makes sense."

"Shut up, you don't understand our love!" says the gym owner, before sloppily making out with a LIFT FOR HIRE guy in front of you.

Anyway, that's what learning about the whole AI nanowrimo controversy was like for me.

[ episode 467 - The Unsmashable Snowman]

[alltheyoungmoons]

stumbled across a blog sharing other ppl’s fanfiction and adding AI-generated photos as “moodboards” and I just want to say - don’t do that shit! AI generated photos are unethical in a plethora of ways, and they don’t even look that good! what you could do instead is search for other people’s work to use as your inspo, and i assure you’ll find so many artists to follow and admire in the process! (of course give credit if you know the artist’s name!)

or better yet - use this opportunity to learn a new skill! you could try drawing yourself! you may not be a natural - hell, i know i’m not, but i enjoy doing it anyway! if drawing isn’t your thing, maybe take up collage or printmaking or needlepoint - there’s literally SO MANY WAYS you can create fanwork (and i’m only talking about visual artwork here! the possibilities are endless) that don’t involve just feeding a few keywords to an algorithm that’s been trained with billions of other people’s work and doesn’t engage with your sense of creativity.

Please, I beg, AI “art” is not a hobby. It’s not creative and I don’t even like to think of it as art. Literally just pick up a pencil or something.
