I love painting (mostly horror art) and keeping my house decorated like it's Halloween everyday 🎃 she/her, 27

There’s zero reason to use AI for generating a painting, a book or any other creative work. AI must never be used to make things we should have the joy of making ourselves. The hours we spend creating are some of the best hours in life. Don’t let a machine steal them from you.

I’m sorry but “why read books when you can just ask Grok” is an excruciatingly brainless take. This way of thinking will leave you not only illiterate but also emotionally impoverished. A good book will bring you empathy, wisdom, companionship. Reading can save your life.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

We are losing the concept of developing as a person. If you depend on algorithms and AI for everything, you will be forever stunted. You’ll never grow as an artist, a writer, a thinker without effort and friction. You will be a half-formed thing.

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland.

Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

Can we stop with all this bs propaganda pretending like there wasn't a world of kids making flash animations, game mods, indies, writing short stories & fan fics, making home movies, sketching in their notepad in the classroom. AI has never been needed for creativity.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

No. You are perfectly capable of reading two and a half books per month, and if you’re not able to purchase books you can easily get them from the library. What’s truly anti-intellectual is trying to discourage people from reading at a time when millions aren’t reading at all.

evil, evil behavior, gaslighting a dementia patient to make them feel even further disconnected from reality, and tolerating that behavior is evil too

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

This is a huge part of why I and many others know that all GenAI use is unethical

Stop telling workers to get a better job and start telling billionaires to stop exploiting workers.

Wow it's almost like age verification doesn't work, is a privacy killing nightmare, doesn't protect kids, and is a thinly veiled excuse for the government to keep track of what everyone is posting on the internet for surveillance.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

People say, “You hate AI art because you’re afraid of everyone being equally talented.” No, I hate it because you are being robbed of real creativity. I want you to know the satisfaction of putting real effort into something. I want you to be amazed what you can do when you try.

Your holiday season reminder from your friendly retail sufferer :)

[trash jones @jzux]

hello companies. if you do this, I will respect you more and will make a deliberate effort to support you in the future!

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

A lot of you are under the mistaken impression that progress means advances in tech. Real progress is kids who are literate, free meals for public school students, a culture in which human art & poetry are celebrated. We're regressing rapidly & the only way forward is to read.

Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities.

Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers.

Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees.

Support local independent coffee shops.

Disabled people deserve healthcare.

Disabled people deserve housing.

Disabled people deserve food.

Disabled people deserve support.

Our ability to work and produce should not determine our value.

Disability is not a moral failing. Most people will experience it someday.

In case you needed one more reason not to use AI

The CEO of ChatGPT is blaming a teen’s suicide on his failure to follow terms of service

Adam Raine, 16, told ChatGPT he was suicidal & it told him his feelings were valid and even provided suggestions and detailed instructions

[shy fawkes @butterbooter]

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere
