Why Your AI Art Isn't Selling (and never will)

AMEN!!

People thought they had a good time using AI with illustrations, but that illusion could be shattered as they greedily look towards music.

Are we really doing this? For "tech bros" endlessly seeking to make a dollar without contributing a thing, seeking to profit again off the work of others. All the while claiming it's for others. Really? Those artists worked years to hone their craft & put themselves in their work. Just to have it replicated en masse and NOT have to compensate the artists. Really?

Bruh! When a fandom becomes so toxic, it gate keeps who can be a villain. Remember when Finn couldn't have been a storm trooper because? C'mon! Get out of your feelings!

As a Black person, I shouldn’t have to explain myself. I shouldn’t have to provide context and reasoning for why I am where I am. I just am and that’s enough! Black people get tired of constantly justifying themselves as it’s what we’ve always done. Explaining why racism is bad, explaining how BIPOC writers are important, explaining why cultural appropriation is harmful. It’s unnecessary for there to be an explanation for how more BIPOC NPCs showed up in Stormwind, and if you need a rationale, you can chalk it up to migration. We live in the real world, after all!

You probably see people of color all the time, and their existence just makes sense because people of color are real. Besides, World of Warcraft is a high-fantasy game with elves and orcs. Do we need to explain why green-skinned people walk around any of the game’s cities? If not, then we certainly don’t need to justify why BIPOC NPCs are more noticeable.

"There's still racism very much alive and well in Prairie Village," Selders said about her tony bedroom community in Johnson County, Kan., the wealthiest county in a state where more than 85% of the population is white.

The racially restrictive covenant that Selders uncovered can be found on the books in nearly every state in the U.S., according to an examination by NPR, KPBS, St. Louis Public Radio, WBEZ and inewsource, a nonprofit investigative journalism site. Although the Supreme Court ruled the covenants unenforceable in 1948 and although the passage of the 1968 Fair Housing Act outlawed them, the hurtful, offensive language still exists — an ugly reminder of the country's racist past.

"I'd be surprised to find any city that did not have restrictive covenants," said LaDale Winling, a historian and expert on housing discrimination who teaches at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

Any comic or movie fan can tell you, when someone wants to draft a 'covenant', it's never for anyone's benefit except their own. It's never good.

“A good horror story for kids isn’t just about frights, it’s about magic. Part of being a kid is finding the world around you a little boring, and wishing for more. It’s being convinced that wonderful things are happening to other people all the time, and wishing they’d happen to you. Curse of the Shadows leans into this idea. Its cast is at the age where they’re starting to learn how dreary and troubled the world is: Hanna Romero (Beatrice Kitsos) is a zealous climate activist, Gabby Lewis (Malia Baker) has her first lousy part-time job as a waitress at a dockside restaurant, and they all live in a fishing town, so several of their parents have weather-dependent incomes. They’re worried about their missing friend, but they’re also looking for something more to the world around them — it’s no coincidence that their search takes them to a literal magic shop.“
