“ex-artist” is so heartbreaking. noury cant pursue her passion and lost her eye simply for being palestinian. this is an ordinary person who did NOTHING to deserve this. its so cruel. dont stop fighting for palestine.
The most important political story in the country is the right inventing a groomer panic to justify attacking queer and trans people and build their fascist movement, and the richest man on earth is using a powerful media platform he just bought to amplify that dangerous lie.
“the ai is just using millions of images of already-existing art to make its amalgamation it’s not stealing from artists”
SO WHERE DOES THE ART COME FROM????
Generally:
Artists don’t dislike AI art because it’s “not real art” etc.
Artists dislike AI art because the programs are “trained” unethically using databases of art belonging to artists who have not given their consent.
This is not about gatekeeping. This is about theft.
AI art basically steals from, and undermines, actual artists. Someone out there had to have their artwork used by a computer to produce your AI portraits, and you’ll likely never know who, and they’ll likely never get credit or support for that work. 🙂
On the topic of #AIart: a common defense for AI is that it learns from other art in the same way humans do, therefore it's not theft.
So I wanted to try to illustrate how that's not accurate.
If you're migrating to Tumblr remember to use the reblog button btw cos a like is, at best, a bookmark on there. This has been a message from every artist
@GenelJumalon @haruno_intro I am no longer content to watch AI artists indulging in their "fuck around" era. I demand that their "find out" era begins immediately
