dont understand why ai art is so bad/harmful? ok, lemme break it down for you!

humans need to work if they want to survive. money is an essential no matter how idealistic you are. now, some humans have skills they have spent years—usually their entire lives—perfecting. skills that have a very narrow field of application if you are trying to make money. skills that are constantly belittled as a “hobby” and constantly taken advantage of and insulted by the very people who attempt to employ them. despite the exploitation and disrespect, some of us humans rely on those skills to find work in that narrow, competitive field. we rely on them to be able to work, and make money and survive.

now that field is being mowed down by algorithms trained by work stolen from those very humans who spent years perfecting their craft. ai imaging has destroyed any hope of having a stable career as an artist. the industry IS in shambles. there have been mass layoffs, replacements, lawsuits, entire art departments dissolved in favor of some guy with access to a computer.

artistic vision and intention replaced by soulless algorithms, brushstrokes replaced by strange blurred smudges and extra fingers. you see it in ads, in marketing, in graphic design, in youtube thumbnails and banners. every corporate use of ai imaging is money taken right out of an artist’s hands. and its not just corporate. social media has been flooded with ai. facebook, instagram, pinterest, you NAME it. even art-specific sites like deviantart, redbubble, shutterstock, even ETSY are being taken over. some of these sites even ENABLE it, partnering with these tech leeches, offering up the art of their users on a silver platter to be stolen and fed into a machine. not even tumblr is safe anymore. and EVERY ai image generator is trained on stolen artwork. period. these artists are not being paid to supply the art for those programs to train on, which means any generated images are STOLEN. if they are then used for profit it is STOLEN PROFIT. ai imaging is unethical to its very core and anyone who says differently is naive, ignorant, delusional or a fucking liar.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, to listen to doctors and get my flu vaccine and any shots i could because they remembered Before.

then they started fighting Covid precautions.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that the ozone was disappearing and the earth was dying and we needed to recycle and save the planet.

now my parents think climate change is a myth.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that racism was a plague, that we had to love and accept everyone, that we should never judge before walking a mile in their shoes.

then they told me that protesting for my Black siblings was wrong.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that we needed to give to the poor. working at soup kitchens. making quilts. collecting food and money and supplies. building houses. because it was the christian and just plain right thing to do.

now they look at me, on food stamps with their grandchildren, and lament the "welfare state".

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and that any rich man, especially an immoral one, should never run our country.

you can guess who they voted for.

i remember adults telling me, as a kid, so very much.

when did they forget?

Honestly the best part of being a barista was charging cops for their drinks. They're so used to getting free shit so it was SOOOOO good for them to pull up to the window and for me to be like "$6.47 :)" and them to make this whole elaborate display of slowly pulling their wallet out and handing their card over bc they weren't expecting to pay. I'd charge you double if I could, oink oink bitch

[bellaskelle]

how did you learn to color and shade like that. it's so wonderful

i hit my head real hard every day

[bellaskelle]

AND I’D DO IT AGAIN

[bellaskelle]

i’m inconsolable every time i reread the series. and this is one of those times

i can't remember the last time a character death fucked me up this much

So I found Aaron Bushnell's reddit and went through his comments/posts. That young man was well read and stable as they can be. Nothing in his writings pointed to someone who was "unstable" or "brainwashed".

He held leftist and anarchist ideals. He belong to the ACAB subreddit. He recognized the evil of the US Military even though he himself was a part of it. He hated TERFS and called out fatphobia. He understood the dangers of white supremecy and the evils of capitalism.

He had a cat. He liked the show fleabag and played elden ring.

Apparently in his will he wants to leave any money in his name to palestinian relief funds. He was trying to find a new owner for his cat.

Rest in peace Aaron Bushnell. The world won't forget & we sure as fuck won't let the media paint you out to be some crazy conspiracy theorist who had no idea what he was doing.

companies thinking it saves them time and money to use ai when instead it makes them all look like greedy clowns in the same circus

if i saw an article that used an ai generated image i would refuse to read it, even if the article itself was good,
