I just overheard a guy at ihop say “how long would it take the world to realize that hiccups just disappeared forever” and honestly it’s fucking me up

the most frustrating thing about AI Art from a Discourse perspective is that the actual violation involved is pretty nebulous

like, the guys "laundering" specific artists' styles through AI models to mimic them for profit know exactly what they're doing, and it's extremely gross

but we cannot establish "my work was scraped from the public internet and used as part of a dataset for teaching a program what a painting of a tree looks like, without anyone asking or paying me" as, legally, Theft with a capital T. not only is this DMCA Logic which would be a nightmare for 99% of artists if enforced to its conclusion, it's not the right word for what's happening

the actual Violation here is that previously, "I can post my artwork to share with others for free, with minimal risk" was a safe assumption, which created a pretty generous culture of sharing artwork online. most (noteworthy) potential abuses of this digital commons were straightforwardly plagiarism in a way anyone could understand

but the way that generative AI uses its training data is significantly more complicated - there is a clear violation of trust involved, and often malicious intent, but most of the common arguments used to describe this fall short and end up in worse territory

by which I mean, it's hard to put forward an actual moral/legal solution unless you're willing to argue:

Potential sales "lost" count as Theft (so you should in fact stop sharing your Netflix password)

No amount of alteration makes it acceptable to use someone else's art in the production of other art without permission and/or compensation (this would kill entire artistic mediums and benefit nobody but Disney)

Art Styles should be considered Intellectual Property in an enforceable way (impossibly bad, are you kidding me)

it's extremely annoying to talk about, because you'll see people straight up gloating about their Intent To Plagiarize, but it's hard to stick them with any specific crime beyond Generally Scummy Behavior unless you want to create some truly horrible precedents and usher in The Thousand Year Reign of Intellectual Property Law

hi just so you know the media and internet lied to you.

being a bitch isn’t cool, being unkind isn’t tough, and aspiring to be petty is sad.

life is really really hard and the only way we’re gonna get through it with a little bit of joy is together.

have u ever unalived some1?

You can say kill, it's okay. in some indirect way I feel we have all been cause to someone's misery and perhaps, even their deaths. Not just our actions, no, our inaction - our inability to step outside the thin-scope of our sheltered lives and lend a hand to those who must face the brunt of reality. We could be better, we could be holistically-giving, but we aren't; thus we are partially to blame for what happens, as even the smallest shift in sentiment can leave a wake miles wide, yet we do not budge, instead we are comforted by the warmth of our ignorance and willful-obfuscation.

its been about 10 years since she showed me this but i am STILL thinking about how my (then) 4 year old cousin drew birds

OBSESSED with this creature; she draws the body from above/below and the head from the side, with a giant eyeball that takes up the entire head and never looks in a specific direction. in a very old-fashioned sense: iconic

Wait, if someone is truly enlightened, wouldn't that have done away with all desire, including the desire to help others?
