The Soul in the Circuit: How Generative AI is Flipping the Script on Art

In the quiet corners of digital imagination, something wild is happening. Machines are sketching scenes that never were, spinning beats no one’s ever danced to, and weaving pixels into poetry. This is generative AI art—where creativity isn’t a solo act anymore. It’s a conversation between human intuition and machine intelligence, a new kind of collaboration unfolding at the edge of what we…

support HUMAN artists, not AI‼️

AI generated images are NOT art. art is CREATED, not GENERATED.

this is not just about taking jobs from artists (which is already a huge deal), it’s also about devaluing art itself, turning it into mass-produced, empty and soulless content. it’s heartbreaking to see AI stealing from real artists: from Studio Ghibli to smaller creators like us.

personally, we started our art journey by reinterpreting what we love: music, TV series, anime and transforming it into our vision inspired by the 90’s anime that we grew up with. when we create our illustrations, we try to capture the emotion and love we feel for the subject, aiming to tell a story with each drawing. ever since AI was created, we have had many people asking if our art is AI generated. honestly, it’s heartbreaking every single time. for us, art is a deeply human experience that we’ve been dedicating ourselves to for seven years. creating from nothing takes dedication, skill, and an emotional investment that, in our opinion, AI simply can’t capture.

you’ve probably seen your feed flooded with AI generated images in a “Studio Ghibli style”. trends like these reinforce the idea that art can be easily replicated and devalued. the future of artists is more uncertain than ever. we don’t know if in a few years we’ll still be able to make a living from this, since many companies are adopting the mindset of “why should i pay someone for their well-earned work when a machine can do it for free in an instant?” that mindset is the real problem: the way society is starting to perceive art.

art is essential to human life. many people realized this during the pandemic: what would we do without music, movies, books, that bring us comfort? art is more than just the final product. it’s about the process, struggles, and personal growth that comes with it. when you create, you grow, learn, and challenge yourself. AI erases that, replacing it with instant and shallow replication. real art brings people together, evoking emotions and reminding us of what it means to be human.

relying on AI to make art isn’t innovation, it’s avoiding the challenge of creating something meaningful. AI tools like these are being pushed as "the future," but what does that say about us? replacing human artistry with shallow, mass-produced content takes away humanity from art, do we really want to be part of a world where art is just another disposable product? what value do we place on creativity?

if you’ve made it this far, it means you care about these issues. let’s raise our voices together and speak up. don’t consume AI generated images. value and respect creativity. SUPPORT REAL HUMAN ARTISTS.

EMERGENCY AUTHOR UPDATE

I feel like this needs to be warned about. Everything on Ao3 that isn't set to private, HAS been data scraped and fed to 3 data sites that provide data for AI training, including writing and artwork.

Yes, this includes my entire Ennead series and everything else I've ever written and posted. As well as anything you all have written but not made private.

Ao3's legal team is fighting it and one site has made the data unavailable, but the other two aren't based in the USA so the fight is harder.

This is frustrating and upsetting news, especially for those of us who now need to pick between our Guest readers who have supported us for a long time and protecting the hard work that we've put our hearts and souls into and I just ask that we support each other and our choices during this time.

The link here has more details but from now on, until I can be sure there's a way to protect my work, which I've spent decades writing and planning, my stories will be posted for members of the site only.

the shittiest human art will always be leagues better than the best ai "art". a child's finger paintings and macaroni crafts will always be better than a computer's subpar attempt at recreating the starry night. your stick figures and smiley faces will always surpass an algorithm's bastardized boticelli painting. the most mediocre hallmark movie will always be better than whatever bullshit sora churns out. the most cringeworthy "i'm 14 and this is deep" notes app poetry will always be better than whatever chatgpt can come up with. always

CAINNEEE (I’m still figuring out how to draw all the characters hehehe)

I spent alot of time on the sketch so I’ll put it under the cut

"Being an AI writer is fucking sad"

You know who I really feel sorry for? People who use AI to write their books.

Writing isn’t just about throwing words on a page, it’s about the struggle, the craft, the late nights staring at a blinking cursor, the thrill of finding the perfect sentence, the frustration of edits that feel endless but make the story stronger. It’s about putting a piece of yourself into something real. AI can’t do that. AI doesn’t have passion, it doesn’t have a voice, it doesn’t pour its heart into a story and hope someone out there understands. And even if you only use a part of it to write your story, just a few words, just a few ideas, just a few small things, it destroys everything that made writing what it was, because the most important thing is the humanity.

If you’re letting a machine do the work for you, you’re not an author, you’re just a bystander. And honestly? That’s kind of sad.

If you are going to post a comment calling a author out for using AI

PLEASE make sure the author actually is. I got a very crual comment saying my 'dear reader' fanfic is all AI generated. The comment is included below so you all can see the kind of language that was used. I do NOT and never will post AI fanfiction. I get nothing out of my writing other than the joy of sharing and the community I create. It was a gutting comment, my heart is in my stomach. It made me actually consider not posting anymore, because what's the point if my readers don't trust me. I WILL be continuing to post, but come on guys. all AI has to do with my writing is spell check with Grammarly, which I have been using for years. I can't belive people think this about my work. I know it's melodramatic but I am gutted.

The comment:

"How could you even think this is acceptable? Do you not have any respect for the people who actually put effort into writing? Using an AI to create this mess just shows that you can’t be bothered to use your OWN creativity. 68% of this is AI-generated, according to my detector, and it shows. The characters are NOT who they are supposed to be, the emotions feel fake, and the writing is so mechanical it hurts to read. You didn’t even TRY to make this good, did you? This is a slap in the face to anyone who spends HOURS working on their writing. Why even bother posting something that’s mostly AI junk?"

EDIT: I am aware that this was a bot comment and contacted the real user of that username, they left a comment clearing it up. I am going to keep my post up just so that people can see the effect this has on writers and the community. Thank you everyone for your kind words and your information it means a lot <3

👏Do👏Not👏Use👏AI👏To👏Write👏Fanfiction👏

You deserve to write. You deserve to grow as a writer. Your story deserves to be told BY YOU! If you truly think AI can do a better job than you, then the story you are telling doesn't need to be told. If you think AI is the only way you can convey the art you hold in your heart, you don't actually have art to share.

But if you care. If you have a story to tell. You should want to tell it. You should want to learn. You should want to create.

If you're worried about it being bad, good - that means you care. That means you'll learn. If you think the only way you'll be any good at art is by prompting a machine to do it for you, you've already failed. You've already given up.

You are not good because you didn't even try.

While the threat of AI is a very real thing, we must remember that all it will ever be able to do is make something exist. It cannot make it real. It cannot make it believable. You can tell a bot to make a story about a dog finding their way back home, but it will never generate a prompt that can touch thousands because it's never lived. It doesn't know how it feels to lose a dog. It doesn't know how it feels to be lost. A carbon copy, cookie cutter, formulaic story will be made. But it will not change a viewer's life, because it knows nothing about life itself.

If we allow a computer's logical approximation of life to overcome the real heart of it all, it's no one's fault but our own. Keep making art. Everyone can, because art is human. Not robotic.

Late Again, Mr. Jamieson

“Oh my stars, I’m so late.”

         Roy sprinted through the sleek hallways of Nexus Academy, his sleek silver jumpsuit catching the artificial lights overhead. His CyberVision glasses flashed an urgent red, almost blinding him. Quantum Physics had started five minutes ago. Professor Tr0n would blow his circuits out!

         Finally, the Teleporter was just ahead. It would get him to the skybeam where his class was held. Some students were entering it now…Shit, he wouldn’t be able to make it! Oh, of all the days he didn’t bring his jetpack!

         “No!”

        Too late. A student gave him an apologetic look before the porter sealed shut. Roy collapsed to the floor in exhaustion. He had accepted his fate.

         The intercom above crackled and then came a voice he knew all too well.

         “Well, if it isn’t Mister. Robert Jamieson. Aren’t you supposed to be Quantum Physics class by now?”

         Roy groaned. “I’m just a bit late, Vox.”

         “I won’t count twenty minutes late as ‘just a bit’, Mr. Jamieson.”

         “I’ll find a way. Is the Robotics lab open?”

         “Restricted during class hours. You’d be wise to wait ten minutes for the Teleporter to reactivate –rather than attempt something reckless. Again.”

         “Shut up, you talking toaster.”

         “Mr. Jamieson!” The intercom’s voice sharpened with offense. “That is a very insensitive and ignorant comparison! You know very well that I am far more complex than a household appliance and--“

         Roy stood up and dusted himself off. “Yeah, yeah, I’m going to the robotics lab…”

i’m so tired of ai and of people. just because someone doesn’t write traditionally or repeats what they’ve said before doesn’t mean they’re not writing, it means they’re a real person. sure there’s dead giveaways like using the exact same vocabulary every single time you say anything, but unless there’s things like that that prove it’s ai it’s incredibly disrespectful and hurtful to witch hunt someone for not writing as good as you think they should. you’re trying to say they write so bad, good, or strangely that there’s no way they wrote it and signing off their writing as not belonging to them

[anushkawrites00-blog]

fuck using ai for fanart, fanfiction, poetry, essays, and anything else that's supposed to come from blood, sweat, tears, and bashing your head against the wall to pull something from the deep recesses of your heart

and whatever Hayao Miyazaki said

Research Study: Fandom & Generative AI still looking for participants!

I'm still recruiting research participants for my PhD dissertation study!!! If you've already participated, thanks so much! If you haven't participated yet, please consider responding to a quick survey, and sharing with your friends!

I'm interested in understanding fans' perspectives on and experiences with generative AI (text and image generation software). That means perceptions both positive and negative! However you feel about genAI, I'm interested in hearing from you. We're especially seeking diverse perspectives from underrepresented demographic groups of people.

If you're over 18, can speak/understand English, and are interested in participating you can learn more information and take the survey here. I've also made a FAQ post about the study that I've pinned to the top of the blog, and you can see more info on the shareable flyer below. You can also view posts on Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Reddit about the study and share info there! Spreading the word is greatly appreciated :)

The study is anonymous and voluntary, and you'll be asked about your fandom background, attitudes towards generative AI, and demographic information. The survey should take about 15-20 minutes, and you can skip over any questions you want. You can also elect to participate in a follow up interview, if you want to. The full details are on the consent form, which you'll be able to read before taking the survey! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
