SPACEBONES @spacebonesart - Tumblr Blog

Wow!

Thanks so much for all the new follows these past few days. It feels so good to be back on Tumblr because this is where the creative and collaborative magic happened for me. I have almost 2K followers and am so thankful for each one of you 🥹🫶🏾

I’ll still be a part of the Twitter community, and occasionally IG, but I think coming back to Tumblr has been the most happy & healthy I’ve been on social media in ages.

On this blog I post mainly my original art and art-related memes. I’ll get around to doing one of those “meet the artist” posts eventually but right now I gotta rest after back-2-back surgeries in less than 24hrs.

I had fun trying my hand at a more loose style and messier inking. I think I’d like to experiment with this more.

“AI art isn’t real art” boring, pedantic, relies on defining the undefinable and an ever changing goalpost of what Real Art is.

“AI art is fueled by massive art theft” correct, concrete demonstration of the harm it’s doing to actual human beings and not just the nebulous concept of Art Itself.

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.
