Apparently this is a thing that still needs to be said in this fandom space but in case my stance wasn’t made abundantly clear by all the other times myself and everyone I know has needed to say it: fuck AI.
The fact that people who claim to be fans of Fable, Bound, WW, or any other tangential SMPs, streams, podcasts or writings by the surrounding group of creators, are cruel enough and comfortable enough to feed the faces, voices, ideas, art and writing of those artists and creatives into a AI scraping sites is so disappointing and honestly a little sickening.
I don’t know a single artist or content creator who isn’t vehemently against this kind of disgusting character and generative AI training. And by engaging with it you are actively placing yourself against them. I could scream about how disgusting AI is until the cows come home but at the end of the day if those arguments haven’t convinced you already me regurgitating it isn’t going to, and there are other people who can say it better than I can.
Not only are you denying yourself the ability to engage with media creatively and stifling your own imagination, but by training and engaging with character AIs and generative AI art based on fandoms and fan work works you are actively ripping apart and destroying the work you claim to be a fan of.
I hope the weight of guilt on your shoulders increases with every prompt you give it. I’d say cry me a river of tears but we all know the AI companies would use use it cool their data centres anyway.
