Ai Art Is Theft - Blog Posts
your art or writing could have been scraped, please watch and check the stuff in the description.
I guess I can put a personal art vent here. Basically, I am really anti-ai, a lot of my videos are about that. Sometimes, I get real petty people who go after my person, my life, my intelligence, recently my art.
I am pretty much okay with the goofy.aah comments except talking about my art. I got a "shitty Tumblr artist take".
Except I was never a Tumblr artist, I never had a following here and never posted my art either.
Still kinda shitty cuz i feel my art sucks eternally.
please, everyone who lives in the UK and you are a creative! Please, reblog this so everyone can be informed. The UK Government is being REALLY SNEAKY.
This is AI content.
This person's account is AI, I saw it under the landscape tag -- just so you guys know.
There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue!
I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product.
Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?
Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.
Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases.
Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
Unpopular opinion
AI art isn't Art.
You can use it on your own art to expand on what you made and see if you can or should change or add anything.
That's how it should be used. It should be used by Artists.
Not AI "artist"
Typing a description into a machine and having it pop out images isn't art.
Typing description into a machine and having it pop out a story isn't art.
Art is human expression, Art is a human thing.
AI art is just a program generated image or letters of mashed up pieces of human art.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
If you disagree or are offended by my stance on this matter the unfollow and block button are right there.
I am rather firmly set in my belief that nostalgebraist-autoresponder is the only good ai.
Reblog to kill it faster
And the fact google images is now *actually* completely useless due to it being flooded with AI generated images..
it's not 'AI art has no soul' because soul is subjective and creating art is not necessarily a divine spark of inspiration, sometimes human made art is empty of feeling and meaning and that's okay.
it's not 'AI art is ugly' because human made art doesn't need to be pretty, it's still art, no matter if you're starting or if you intentionally make ugly things. It's still okay.
The problem, with AI art (besides the copyright theft, the environmental issues, the artists losing their jobs..)
The problem is that
AI art lacks INTENT
When a human makes something, every part of the creation is a decision made. Why this line, why this color, why this word, why this stitch, why this note.
They may be good decisions, bad decisions, it doesn't matter. The end result is something with thought, and this is why we appreciate art. There is the surface, and underneath, there is an ocean of decisions made by the artist.
AI art has no intent.
Yes, they will type prompts for a general idea. And they will pick a result.
But there is no thought about poses, colors, lines, backgrounds, details, negative space, lighting, texture, framing, etc.
Becoming a good artist means to understand these decisions and align them to make the result you want.
AI art will pick through millions of those decisions made by other people and will stick them together without meaning or reason, so they lose their intended purpose. This is why people think AI art is empty, that it has no 'soul'. Because there is no thought process behind it.
We should stop comparing human and AI art by using words like "better" or "worse". People will always have different opinions.
But as a human, I am more interested in things made by other humans, because I can observe all those tiny decisions, I can relate to some, be surprised by some, dislike some, it's all good.
Art is people communicating.
AI art has nothing to say.
DO NOT USE AI GENERATED "ART." Commission a real artist.
"But I don't have money"
Then draw it.
"But I can't draw"
Then learn.
"I don't want to take the time to learn/I want it now"
THEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT. Or you can at least settle with a poor-looking result if you draw it now. Hell, at least use some character creator/dress-up game like those picrew things or those Gacha games — you know, SUPPORTING ACTUAL ARTIST'S WORK!
You aren't entitled to see all the pretty looking images when you want, how you want, and for free.
Get it for free, and you either don't get it as good as you want or as fast as you want — you either settle with the fact your own drawing won't look how you want it, or take the time to learn. (unless you're lucky enough to find someone doing commissions for free. But that's still better than AI.)
Get it fast, and it either won't be good, or won't be free.
Get it good, and it either won't be quick, or won't be free.
This post should also apply to other forms of media (written works, music). But as someone who draws, this is the most relevant to me.
(Generative) AI is like a brain-melting parasite that sucks the life out of its hosts’ ideas and creativity and moves on when stuffed, carrying the last of its meal on it as it feasts on other unwilling people. Also like how bees do with pollen and nectar, but in a less beautiful way.
(If that makes sense-)
