If we let ai image generators and their users discourage us and stop us from making art, then yes, they win. If we literally ignore them and make art because we can and because we are human, then we win. The people who use ai will eventually get bored of it and stop using it as much. There’s only so many things that people who are unwilling to use their imaginations can think of. How we keep human made art alive is by supporting human made art and human artists!! AND, ai art is digital, not physical. There’s no ai oil painting, there’s no ai sketching, there’s no ai pencil and paper, if you’re worried about ai stealing your digital art, make traditional art! Don’t ever give up because if we give up then they automatically win. Nothing will ever replace human made art because we won’t let it. We will always be here creating because we can, and because WE are human.
I think the best way to fight this AI shit is just to support actual creators. The cat's out of the bag with AI; our data's going to be taken and used without our consent whether we like it or not, so maybe we should put efforts into holding up those who create their own stuff. Comment/interact on people's writings and art. Make it worth them posting; make it clear that what the people are interested in isn't generated stuff, but things that people have actually done themselves. It's a drop in the ocean, but showing creators that it's them that deserve the support at least serves to cut off a tiny bit of oxygen to these AI hogs - and make a difference to creatives who are trying against hope to share with a community.
