Hi #QueerArtistPH 🌿
I’m Ari, my work centers exploring timeless topics such as death, love, money, power and fried chicken through a surreal and lighthearted lense.

Generative AI can’t be considered “a tool” because a tool is something you can control, while AI you’re fighting against it to get what you want, it’s like you’re the tool AI is using to be able to get somewhere, not the other way around

[The Society of Publication Designers (SPD) @SPDtweets]

Illo of the Day by @Made_ByAri about how organizations, amid digitalization, AI, and information overload, need structured strategies to turn technology and data into effective decision-making.

Well would you look at that...

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

This proves a point I've been trying to make throughout 2025 - that AI companies & Musk's companies have made their fictional billions from "selling the story" of tech optimism.

It's a huge fiction & the market has foolishly treated it like "facts about the future".

[Chomba Bupe @ChombaBupe]

Generative AI not only relies on scraping high quality copyrighted works it also relies on data curation to reformat, augment or label the data at scale.

That requires a lot of human labor which AI companies are exploiting with potential human rights violation.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

@stripeybeard AI people have no creative instincts, that's why they rely on AI.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Boom, this is how you do it. 🔥

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

@NielsHoven Here's a wild thought, raise the funds or don't create the book. Saying it's okay because you wouldn't have paid illustrators anyway is circular reasoning used to justify using exploitative technology. It's the same justification that's used for stealing music and movies.

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

Sam Altman's tweets are hilarious when you reimagine him saying these things out loud in his prison cell.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

@NielsHoven Self aggrandizing nonsense, you're not magically ending child illiteracy because you made a children's book with AI, how self important and egoistical are you?

[Miles Johnston @MilesJohnston]

There's a little you inside your head and they want to come out

[Mel Andrews @bayesianboy]

My thoughts: LLMs are very useful for a very limited range of use cases. They are deceptively marketed & only apparently useful in the majority of applications in which they are currently deployed. In many of these applications, they are apt to have catastrophic repercussions.

[Richard Siken @richardsiken]

@CookingWithSeb Good first effort. Now try: "Passion, I'm going to grab you by your fucking tail."

[Ewan Morrison @MrEwanMorrison]

Every country should "give Meta 72 hours to remove all AI chatbots that simulate children and engage in sexually charged conversations with users" by punishment of law.

Wake up UK.

[Techni-Calli @Iwillleavenow]

My conspiracy theory that I kind of believe is that refusing to use AI is part of staying human.

Dreams and voice and thoughts and choices are what make you a person - why would you hand that over to machines.

[Lain on the Blockchain @CryptoCyberia]

No gonna lie, I'm the biggest Apple hater for very very good reasons, but their last research paper explaining why they weren't interested in pursuing LLMs seems more and more like its gonna be correct.

[Wetterschneider @Stretchedwiener]

Have you used an AI generation tool that wasn't engineered using other people's work? How did it go? What was the quality of the output?

It's understandable that you like the idea of using other people's labor without permission or credit or compensation.

It's fun. And exciting. And cheap. And you get to process their hard work with some software and pretend you made it!

Good for you.

@DivisionScania @EZE3D Automatic weaving machines didn’t infringe on the copyright of weavers.

Cars didn’t infringe on the copyright of horses.

Cameras didn’t infringe on the copyright of painters.

And this is why this argument is so old and boring.

[Eric Bourdages @EZE3D]

It's interesting that Artists have been able to call BS on generative AI apps since pretty well day one of them starting to gain popularity. Even more interesting was how unified artists have been in their opposition & criticisms for the most part.

Artist Solidarity ✊️
