Whole ass mood

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.

Jokes on you I’m into that shi-

just remembered i had a friend in salt lake who worked in a hotel where they hung up pictures of the tin man to discourage people from having sex

What do you think is the appeal of Made in Abyss?

There's a certain haunting beauty to it amongst all the pain and suffering where more often than not I wouldn't be drawn to a series that wants to kick my chest in and yet I continue to look forward to it. They created a world with this incredibly real weight of danger and loss and within all of that lies these characters that you want so much to see persevere through it knowing full well just how impossible that feels.

It's a dark tale with a sense of hope no matter how little it may be and I need to see how it ends. I know I won't be the same after I witness it but best believe I'mma still follow them to literal hell and back. It's a really well done show that makes me want to die and I welcome it. I was glad to hear that 3rd season is coming.

The context behind this drawing is too great to put into words here so I’ll just leave it as is….

Also i just hafta post something quick before more bots start invading my acc-

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.
