[Wolf | Enby | They/Them | 20]
What's up! I'm Wolf, an aspiring Graphic artist. I love Video Games, Transformers, Anime, Cartoons, Comics, and a bunch of other shit you can find on this blog!
There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue!
I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product.
Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?
Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.
Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases.
Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use.
Disco elysium is a great political litmus test, as evidenced by that ones steam review where the guy got angry the game called him a facist in the first 2 hours of the game
Here it is
the levels of racism this man has to be on to get so engrossed in the racist dialogue options that it eclipsed everything else and made him believe it was the central theme. holy shit.
love when a dynamic is like. this would be deeply toxic for anyone else but considering the people involved this is actually far and away the healthiest option
just learned that humans might have evolved smaller pupils and irises/more whites of our eyes so that it’s easier for other humans to tell where we’re looking as a way of communicating sudden threats. and now i’m thinking of every time i have been frantically giving my friend a Look to get out of an uncomfortable situation (or been on the receiving end). still using it to communicate sudden threats only this time his name is kyle
