The internet has been buzzing about AI-generated art for a while now and has many people talking about how this will replace artists. Well, I think people should know just HOW these AI programs even came to be in the first place and it's a tale as old as time: art theft. These programs only function because their makers stole work done by real artists. They will continue to be trained on the unwilling backs of real artists. Please learn the truth and don't support these operations. Better yet support the artists actually responsible for the hard work truly behind these AI. Now back to your regularly scheduled program. . . . . #pushypushyupdowngo #psa #ai #aiart #nothanks #supportartists #realartists #art #artist #knowthetruth #arttheft #arttheftawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CmK8lGOJCud/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@moteefeofficial @moteefe.store like so many other shady and rinky-dink apparel companies is selling Schitts Creek themed items with my artwork on without my knowledge or consent. On their website, they claim to be an ethical company but you’d think checking to make sure they’re not selling stolen or unauthorized artwork first might be one of their ethical practices. . Honestly, I get tired of dealing with apparel companies like this but putting them on blast seems to be the only way they learn. . #chrisablesart #schittscreek #moteefe #moteefeshirt #artist #illustration #illustrator #digitalart #characterdesign #visdev #stolenartwork #arttheftawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/CCdJT-7D_1B/?igshid=n8vvy4ukaj2l

My art was stolen and mangled! I guess it was bound to happen eventually by putting my own art and images online that some untalented ASSHAT would claim it as their own. Never thought I'd find out this way though! @madchenamick just posted this gif and my heart sank. There it was, plain as day, my Shelly art. Art that I had made for Madchen a few years back. The very same art that's on official marketing for Twin Peaks... right there, swiped on someone else's mug. I know those lines well because, hey, I was the one who spent hours on those lines and colors: The thin painterly taper to the bottom of the uniform, the top unbuttoned, the shine on the coffee. It's unmistakable. They put a shitty pie over her hand and removed the mug (and probably redrew the face a bit to "change three things" about it). This. Is. Not. OKAY. This type of theft happens every day and cheapens everyone. Hopefully you, oh internet hivemind, can help me track this thief down. #art #arttheft #justice #seekingjustice #arttheftiswrong #arttheftsucks #arttheftawareness #arttheftisntok #somad #sohurt

by the way, and its sick that I have to make disclaimer posts about my own blogs, accounts and art but these are my accounts across the internet Tumblr Main: SaintVader Tumblr Sideblogs: Freudsghost, Slytherfriends, Luckyliesmith Instagram: Slytherfriends, SaraJScribbles Twitter: FurbyLink Deviantart: Nelyanaphonexia (the art there is OLD from about 2003-2011)

NONE OF THESE ACCOUNTS ARE STEALING ART THEY ARE ALL MY OWN. I’ve now gotten messages on about half of them accusing me of stealing my own art thinking they are someone else. They are not. Also I am not associated with: arttheftawarness-vu, watchersofvu, johnsonjohnsons122222,  thepatientheart or antiarttheft

alliwantisallofthis replied to your photo “cant find my tablet and im going stir crazy. kylo in graphite, cause...”

Holy shit this johnson dude is straight up damaged.

who ever the person is has three blogs (i think its all three, @johnsonjohnsons122222 @thepatientheart and @arttheftawarness-vu accusing me of stealing “their” art) I’ve been getting anons and messages and threats for months. This person is wildin and yes-- seriously damaged.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with those aggressive commenters on your art! You are so talented and don’t deserve to deal with baseless hostility

thanks anon. i’ve been dealing with the same person/people on and off for a few months on my Freudsghost side blog But lately it’s gotten worse. I don’t know the people (@johnsonjohnsons122222 @ @thepatientheart and @arttheftawarness-vu ) accusing me of stealing “their” art (its mine but they’re claiming it) but I NEED it to stop soon. Someone also attempted to hack into my email and sent threats to my twitter account. I’ve started a police report so if these people do NOT cease and desist I will be getting the FBI/Police involved.
