Lots of thoughts recently. Everything feels plastic.

I could go on and on about why all that AI "art" is bad. I could mention theft, lack of creativity, it's impact on the work field and environment, but countless people have already said all that. I wanted to touch on something that to me is the most utterly wrong about all of it.

Art is more than just something pretty to look at or listen to. It's therapeutic. It's a form of communication. A tool for human connection. It's a pure, human need.

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

Ci sono momenti che penso sinceramente che non ci sia niente da fare, che sarebbe meglio morire e basta. È che mi manca il coraggio. Almeno, oggi mi manca.

Sta diventando soffocante. Anche quando cerco di spiegare, la gente non capisce. Non li biasimo: è davvero difficile comprendere un trauma che non vivi. Ma più della comprensione vorrei aiuto. La mia vecchia psicologa non è riuscita minimamente ad aiutarmi. Ho paura il percorso col nuovo si riveli altrettanto fallimentare. Intanto i mesi, gli anni passano, e non ce la faccio più. Quand’è che vivere è diventato così difficile?

Vorrei tanto parlare con qualcuno che stia vivendo le stesse cose, ma ovviamente, come faccio? ah…

(depression & traumas & co)

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.

Oggi ho di nuovo 13 anni: ipersensibile per cazzate, perché i miei amici non cagano nessuno dei miei messaggi sul gruppo, ma tra loro si rispondono a vicenda. Forse è che ho il ciclo e per colpa degli ormoni mi sento molto triste e sola. O forse mi sento molto triste e sola sempre. Chissà.
