The State of Art
It’s a shame that artists have to worry about people stealing their work. It was bad before, but now there’s AI, and I’m fearful that studio execs may scour the internet for ideas. Sharing your art should be a fun experience. It should be “Look at this thing I made!”. You shouldn’t have to run it through several different programs and cross your fingers. The only things you should be fearing are receiving rude comments or getting no engagement.
It shouldn’t be the norm to fear that your art will be stolen every time you hit the post button. You shouldn’t have to hide away your art, or delete your accounts for fear of having it stolen. You would have no way of knowing if someone stole your art. If your writing was fed into AI, you would have no way of knowing. If a studio stole your writing, then you would have no way of knowing until it’s too late. You might not know at all.
When money becomes the goal of creating art, then the art is lost. Creating art is an art in and of itself. Art is one of the deepest forms of self expression, and people who tell a computer what to “draw” for them are not expressing themselves. They’re doing a poor imitation. It’s a spit in the face to the art of making art. Even if a person’s art isn’t good in a technical sense, they still took the time to sit down and make it with their own two hands. A person’s neon fursona or doodles in the margins of their notebook have infinitely more value than any piece of AI “art” ever will.
I understand that art is a business, and businesses have to make a profit, but that profit is coming at the cost of artists. The people all the way at the top don’t care to delete shows, or movies that haven’t even been released yet in order to save a few dollars. It doesn’t affect them in the slightest. It affects the artists who have spent long periods of time and effort into the project. They shouldn’t have the power to delete someone’s work from existence after it’s already aired. They don’t care to screw over creators as long as they get paid. Even if the show is popular, it’s still not safe from the threat of cancellation. Once the shows become a bit obscure, and they think it’s of no value to them anymore, they’re gone. Just because this is legal doesn’t mean it’s morally correct.

Positives of forgetting to edit the assignment I handed in: I have a very tight grasp on grammar and spelling and I don’t really need to worry about any mistakes there. I also successfully kept all the points I wanted to get across.
Negatives: left in the sentence about the wizard

"...and you can see what appears to be... gnomes who... have just kind of accepted the fact that they're being dragged through the air by a very powerful creature; they're like being held by their shirts, with their arms kind of folded"

i love how as part of ed's brilliant plan to kill stede and use his body to fake his own death he decides to swap clothes and parade in front of an entire crew of witnesses showing off how he and stede are about the same size and stede can fit into blackbeard's clothes pretty well
