Dear every social media account,

Your AI posts are ugly.

Signed,

A tired internet user

[Francisco Machado @KrazyMachado]

Always sharing this.
Screw Adobe! They are not artist friendly and supportive.

[Joanna Maciejewska @AuthorJMac]

You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

@splinetool I'd love to know what data was trained on this tool. Are our creative works in @splinetool being used? if so why is there not an opt-out option? unfortunately there are no answers on your website

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

A million billion times this.

[Catghost @theCatghost]

@SashaFrantseva sooo good!

[Catghost @theCatghost]

@SashaFrantseva @Procreate your work always has such depth to it. fantastic!

[Catghost @theCatghost]

@FromHappyRock @wacom This error gives me war flashbacks 😂 And it’s also the reason I switched to iPad. No more headaches

[Catghost @theCatghost]

i promise to create more pixel art in 2024🥹

[Jess Owen @authorjessowen]

AI didn’t democratize art.

Artists did.

Free YouTube tutorials, sketch pages, advice blogs, works-in-progress, mentorship, AMAs, process videos. Sharing materials, stock references, resources, and technique. These are freely available to anyone who wants to learn.

[Catghost @theCatghost]

I thought rich people could afford high quality, handmade things🤔 guess not

[Catghost @theCatghost]

yeeppppp. why do companies get to freely vacuum up our data and profit off of it? it's theft at all levels

[Jon Lam #CreateDontScrape @JonLamArt]

Data IS currency- photos, faces, art, music, film, legal documents, private emails, conversations. This is “money” and these companies will bend laws, claim fair use as a blanket solution in all ways to steal from everyone and anyone. This man suing the LAION is a necessity.
3/5

[Catghost @theCatghost]

Trying to future proof my income as an artist has left little time to create for the sake of it. Hopefully some day I'll have a chance to get back into it. I've really appreciated all of the support people have shown me over the years

[Catghost @theCatghost]

current social media is abysmal and I highly recommend any creator start building a mailing list yesterday, but lets not pretend that banning tiktok isn't primarily an attempt to snuff out competition

[Catghost @theCatghost]

As a small business owner who has seen a ton of growth through tiktok, this will hurt and/or kill off a lot of small businesses if it happens and I don't think the potential impact of that is being talked about enough.

[TikTokComms @TikTokComms]

2/ Also not mentioned today by members of the @HouseCommerce Committee: the livelihoods of the 5 million businesses on TikTok or the First Amendment implications of banning a platform loved by 150 million Americans.

[Catghost @theCatghost]

It's not worth the time or effort to share to those platforms anymore, because it's very clear that meta can & will limit your reach unless you fork out enough cash.... to gain access to YOUR followers
