Hey just wondering—when are you going to pay me for use of my art in your ai slop?
My work you fucking ripped: x , x , x , x
so you likely pay something like $3 to $7 a month to use a machine to absolutely neuter my art. Which is crazy when learning to draw can be as little as FREE in this day and age. Like don't you want to use that money for a netflix subscription? Or better yet, just chucking those dollars in the trashcan?
ok sorry, so here's the price breakdown for use of my art in your ai shit from an ass:
Match the subscription fee. You at least owe me however much this is, let's just put it at $5 for our sake here
For my time. So these were fairly quick draws for me! I'll give you some hope in setting that at about $30
Electricity Cost. Ai is hefty and needs to use up a local or energy resources to run! Something to the detriment of our planet even (will get into that next) but for the cost of energy well. I can't calculate an exact number based on how much energy it took to give you like a few pithy likes on posts no one sees or cares about—so I'll just round up and say $300
Environmental cost. Hey bud, you're the one that decided to support something that not only takes up a lot of energy but also takes a lot of water resources too. Only fair that the water bill paid is somewhere in the ballpark of $500
Back to me, license use. Because you could have commissioned me while I was open or wait for me to open to get a very unique piece of art specifically made just for you! Or, you could have just looked at my art for free and done nothing about it (but here we are). So if you're wanting usage rights, then you gotta pay me $800
Violation of my terms and conditions regarding ai. I never wanted my art to be pumped through the soulless machine that turns everything into the uninspired stolen slop. I stand against ai in regards of what environmental disruptions it plays and to how damaging it is to artists and creatives as a whole. So for that, I'd appreciate about another $800
Okay so take that total... and times it by 63. Why 63? Because I can identify clearly 7 uses of my artwork in your generations, then because these likely took more than one generation attempt at a time because you don't just get the result you want after one pass, these took some patience to "refine". Even if there's a flaw with the hands in the last one (dude you couldn't even clean that up? oh yeah cause the machine would have mangled it worse huh) I'd wager each took what, 4-8 attempts? I'll account for like one more higher and go 9, so 9x7=63
So 63*x amount from above =
oof, big number, damn did I do the math right? Hm. Yeah. I did. Well don't worry, because I'm willing to take install payments of only $12,783.75 a month for one year to pay it back, or get on a two year program and pay me $6,391.88 a month!
So yeah June is close to ending, I better get that $6k to start off this long long life journey of being compensated for some silly little mpreg drawings.
Or you could delete your blog and never repost my art again :) that's a free option.
