If somehow someone stumbles upon my work let it be known, I do not approve of my work being put into data-sets and churned into a AI system for any reason whatsoever. No exceptions. And none of my work ever was or ever will be utilizing stuff like that. I'm on the side of supporting human artists. That's pretty much all I wanted to say.
But I'll say a bit more anyway. I'm just a little guy on the internet and my art is only okay, So I doubt anyone gives a shit enough to do that. I just felt the impetus to write this either way because I'm feeling passionate about it tonight. I do not expect myself to use these tools not even to draft ideas because I personally don't like the idea of it and the future AI dystopia scares me, so I refuse to contribute to it and ask you to do the same. Even if its inevitable that all art careers are gonna be completely computer generated soulless crap I'm still gonna bitch about it now and forever.
While not all uses of it are inherently bad or unethical, using a tool to generate a image for you still feels wrong to me and not in the spirit of what art is about and I haven't really heard many arguments on the opposition that have convinced me otherwise. Especially since most of those people aren't actually artists or care about art. What annoys me the most is that A LOT of them are weirdly hostile about? Like the idea of taking away the human element of creative careers is a win to them and they will shove it into your face to try and make you feel like you're worth nothing. I really don't understand that shit. Ok well I had to delete some unhinged violent ass shit from this but yeah I'm gonna go play games now.
