In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
I woke up angry. I hate AI.
HATE IT.
I hate what it does to the environment. I hate that it steals art.
I hate the feeling of being usure if what I read or look at is real.
And I hate that people endorse it.
I hate how money controls everything society is evolving to because it
@rjMvkCHYcISR Fr, even though I don't draw much on my xppen the nib is as pristine as the first day! I just hope the replacements are in the box from the tablet (since I conserve it ╮(^▽^)╭)
It’s crazy seeing people criticize art and programming communities for gatekeeping when the only barriers to entry are persistence and creativity.
Creatives aren’t some oppressive upper-class because you refused to learn, or were too lazy to put in the necessary work to improve
La situación de esta persona me dejo claro algo, el producto de los IA slopers no existe sin el trabajo de alguien más como base. Olvidense de eso de que sin electricidad no funcionan! Sin el trabajo de los artistas para pasarlos por sus "avanzados" filtros no pueden hacer NADA!
I’m a human 3D artist. My Attack on Titan fan-made short film is a project I started in 2022 and released in June 2024. I redesigned all of the Titans myself. I didn’t use any AI, and I never made any money from this short film.
To be honest, I originally didn’t want to talk about this. In order to discuss it, I actually had to subscribe to X Premium.
Throughout 2025 and 2026, I started seeing more and more comments like this on my YouTube channel:
“Your one and a half years of work? I can make that with AI in 30 seconds.”
“I can do it in one minute.”
“I can do it in 90 seconds.”
So I started looking into it. The first AI short film I found was actually made by modifying footage from my original film, while being presented as an AI-generated work.
I felt pretty disappointed.
If you think AI can make something better than what I made, then please create something better from scratch.
I’ve always found it difficult to accept being mocked while my work is also being taken and reused.
Since 2018, I’ve been focused on creating the things I genuinely love. I’ve done it simply because I love creating, and I’ve never made a single cent from these works.
As a result, my financial situation has actually been quite difficult. For a while, I was really struggling with the thought that maybe I should have spent the past few years trying to make as much money as possible.
Was trying to make a living by creating the things I love just a foolish fantasy?
Then I watch Orb: On the Movements of the Earth. There’s one line in the series that really stayed with me:
“Being wrong doesn’t mean it was meaningless.”
So recently, I’ve slowly started to accept something.
If I don’t make the things I love, I don’t think I would be happy even if I had a job.
I’ll keep looking for a way forward. Whether that means working harder, finding ways to make money so I can continue making short films, or finding some other way, I still want to keep creating the things I love.
Is it weird that I make an active effort to call people 'skilled' instead of 'talented'? I hate the idea of portraying someone was born with an ability, and ignoring all the effort that went into it.
@Siyaazu_ I'm a guild that does get the free pull every week (by Friday if late) since a long time ago, right now there's a spot if you wanna join! But be fast because the free spaces don't last a long!
