friendly reminder that ai is not an automatic collage machine, and is not the devil, and i am sick of the fearmongering

i would give my writing an ai, i dont care, because i know how it actually works and knows that it doesnt fucking matter.

Unfriendly fucking reminder that AI is a copyright violating machine, that the original AI projects were funded by Elon Fucking Musk because he does not see value in the work of artists, and that AIs have problems with constantly putting signatures and watermarks back into art

BECAUSE THEY'RE TRAINED ON SO MUCH STOLEN, COPYRIGHT-VIOLATING ART.

Implying that those of us who have moral objections to AI art (and writing) are "fearmongering" or that we just don't know what we're talking about ignores the very very blatant art theft occurring.

But no, AI art doesn't steal! That's why it's totally not reproducing watermarks here!

Or here!

Or signatures and copyright lines in all of these!

When you feed the AI which is BASED ON STOLEN ART, you are telling thieves that you're cool with art being stolen as long as you get something temporary, free and momentarily cool.

Fuck off. ^__^

Artist finds private medical record photos in popular AI training data set

LAION scraped medical photos for AI research use. Who's responsible for taking them down?

*rubs temples*

SO ANYWAY, LIKE I WAS SAYING.

AI is like a child learning art who cannot learn whether something is right or wrong.

the AI will see watermarks, and instead of saying "hey, mom, why are these words in the corner of the picture?" it'll think "sometimes art just has random word-shaped text in the corner, and that's normal" and then replicate it.

Also, if you are an artist and want to check if your work has been used to train AI, HaveIBeenTrained can search the database for matching images (no it doesn't save the image you search with):

Have I Been Trained?

[glitchmeharder]

are there any ai art programs that dont use stolen work?

[vaspider]

Not to my knowledge.

[piedrawsthings]

Wip. Experimenting with gold paint. I don't really like the face of this one but I'll still finish it to see how it turns out. The ears and neck just have the base coat down so they look bad.

tumblr users all of a sudden: oh yeah this website is SO good for art hehehe it’s waaayyyy better than twitter it’s so supportive of artists we love art so much here uwu art for the win!! ✨ 😘 💕 😋✨ artists who have spent the last 4+ years on their hands and knees begging people to reblog their art just to be ignored every single time because half this website acts like their nuts will be ripped off with the claw end of a hammer if they reblog a single drawing:

i just wanted to clarify some things

artists know the risk they are taking when they post their art online. people are inevitably going to take it apart, color edit it, flip it around or otherwise post it uncredited.

saying that an artist shouldn’t post their work if they don’t want it bastardized is probably the stupidest stance on this subject you could take. if all artists followed this line of reasoning, there would be no art on the internet. 

when an artist posts their work, they are trusting you to enjoy it respectfully. and when you betray that trust either knowingly or unknowingly, it’s like saying the artist’s time, skills and thoughts aren’t worth anything.

you are NOT entitled to an artists work just because they decided to trust you enough to share it with you.

an artist is within their right to feel upset that someone has used their work in a way they never intended it to be used. they are within their right to ask for it to stop and not happen again.

just because it’s “bound to happen” doesn’t mean it’s any less deplorable.

Hunger. Acrylic and marker on canvas.
