So was anyone going to tell me that THIS is the concept work that retired Disney animator Aaron Blaise did for Wolfwalkers?

or was I just supposed to find that out by attending an animation industry event where he gave a presentation and showed them, myself?

had to jump through hoops to see them meanwhile they were on all his socials this entire time??? for FREE??

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.

LOKI SPOILERS!! WARNING!

-

Guys I was thinking.. what if she has never been a "Loki variant" but someone else all along? I was having dubts since the beginning... They classify her (actually for them was "he/It") like a Loki variant just because he/It had the same "modus operandi" and same abilities of Loki, but they never meet her and see her, didn't they? Maybe she Is just someone with same powers of Loki, but not him. In this case, she wouldn't be Lady Loki because Lady Loki Is actually Loki. Knowing some Mythology and looking into the comics I got and Idea: what if she Is Sigyn? Think About It: Sigyn Is expert in magic and is Loki's wife (in Mythology at least, don't know about the comics), so she could actually have learned something from him. Also, It seems that Loki knows her, and how could it be if she was a variant (he was surprised watching some of his variant during the briefing)?

What do you think about it? P.S. Sorry for my english xD

EDIT: Yeah she actually could even be Sylvia Lushton...
