"But artists could use AI better than anyone!"
And Gordon Ramsay could probably run a better hot dog cart at the state fair than anyone, it misses the point.
Not one person asked artists if we wanted this, and now they're trying to pressure us into using it. It's just gross.
We have no obligation whatsoever to upload data safe for AI training on the internet. If you take my work without asking me and it breaks your grift engine, that’s on you.
With the rise of AI us artists must come to understand that to truly create art the final piece is irrelevant. It is the process, your own subject humanity is what makes it special - art is a piece of yourself that you thought worthwhile to share with others and that's beautiful
>"sorry, I haven't posted art in a few weeks"
gurl, artists used to spend YEARS on a piece - you're fine
don't let the infinite growth mindset of capitalism convince you you're behind because you're prioritizing yourself over shareholder value or whatever
