I've been seeing some posts about this in various places online so I just want to clear up some confusion and correct some misinformation. Slenderman is NOT the one who makes the pages. They're not his pages. When you say this you're minimising and erasing the work of independent struggling creative Alex Kralie which is not very #supportartists of you.
claiming AI art is theft takes the database and training issue and blows them up to be the entire debate, which is just a terrible way of talking about this issue. it elevates non-solutions like the filters that supposedly ruin datasets (not how that works btw) as "praxis" and demands that all AI art be decried
the actual issue with AI art will never be in subculture or fandom, because those communities have their social contracts which will keep AI art from becoming pervasive— simply said, if you don't AI art, you're not going to promote it, so it's not going to become something significant in your circle, especially when others agree with your stance
the issue is on a corporate scale. grifters are already using AI image generation for scams, but there's always going to be grifters and scams. the kind of person being most hurt by AI image generation are corporate artists. the kind of people AI art will put out of works aren't artists working for commission on twitter, it's artists working on commission for news websites, or the people who make the backgrounds for press releases, or incidental images that people don't really think about. there's a whole lot of "art" that people don't think about, and that's what is most vulnerable because it's considered the most disposable
This year I’m going to start doing what I’ve always wanted to do which is create videos. Not really any specific type of video, just whatever I want to make. I don’t want to doddle anymore, it’s time I stop hesitating and just do it.
I’m also going on a self-imposed year long art study to improve my art skills. I wouldn’t say my skills are beginner level but there’s a lot of fundamentals I struggle with.
I may even do some cosplaying but I won’t push it.
I hope to creatively fulfill this year. I want to create more than I ever have.
I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

My ideal qualities for a woman:
She’s quick and nimble when she needs to be
She can float through the air
And climb up trees
Got some snowy/icy days here so some epic sprites if my trolls are one the way
happiness
