Rabbi Moshe De Leon Discusses Theology With Goku - Coño Culo, 14th century
Ew this is plagiarism algorithm, not real art
This was painted in the 13th/14th century by celebrated Andalusian artist Coño Culo. It is one of the earliest historical examples we have of Goku interacting with Spaniards.
This type of post is especially heinous of OP, because using AI "because its funny" is literally a tactic to normalize AI art -- aka, art theft.
"no one was going to be paid to paint this!!!" The replies cry over and over again; "therefore its fine for me to use AI bullshit that steals the work of thousands if not millions of artists to make it, instead of putting any effort into it myself via a simple photo edit, or actually commissioning/requesting it of someone!"
"there's ai databases that are trained only on public domain images!!!!" Okay so why is Goku there? I kinda doubt Goku is in public domain art. That means this scraped art from non-public domain images, and is stealing from fan artists.
It's especially shameful for popular blogs to do it, because you've got people rabidly defending it as a knee jerk reaction.
The fact Cryptotheism had to restrict the replies of the post, because so many people were calling them out for using AI art, and even went as far as editing the original post to be a shitty Dark Souls thing to hide what they'd done-- stealing art for the sake of a joke?
I hope every single person sees this version, and realizes just how low Tumblr Funnymen™ are willing to sink for the sake of a """joke"""
-- even if it means directly contributing to the normalization of artists, writers, voice actors, and more losing their work and livelyhood to AI-generated bullshit.
Because that's what you're doing here. You are actively contributing to the normalization of AI bullshit.
Its literally an alt-right tactic to recruit people via memes and "jokes" for a reason.
If you claim to support artists and writers and actors against losing their jobs to AI, only to turn around and reblog "funny memes" literally made by AI "because no one was going to get paid to paint it", then congrats! You don't actually care about protecting hardworking artists!
Voice actors say they were not told about the agreement signed by the Sag-Aftra actors' union.
“AI art seemed like something far down the line,” Sam Yang said, “and then it wasn’t.”
Generative AI like ChatGPT and DALL-E 2 have entered the mainstream -- and attracted investors' attention. But they're prompting lawsuits.
Cutting-edge AI can now create millions of artworks almost instantaneously. Artists say the technology is stealing their work.
George RR Martin and John Grisham are among the authors suing the company over copyright laws.
The list has underscored many artists’ frustrations with the lack of regulation around AI-generated art.
"I usually hate AI art, but I'm reblogging this because its just too funny!" = "I don't actually care about artists having their work stolen as long as it's palatable enough for my tastes"
