been talking about it a lot on my personal blog, but the whole AI as a replacement for creative work makes me feel sick to my stomach and i just needed to share my feelings with the wider audience i have on this blog. like physically it makes me feel ill.

#not dogs #artists #as somebody that has ~by choice~ left being a paid professional artist/designer/character designer/animator #because of how shit we are treated #this does not make me feel better for the future generations or current generations of artists/creatives #companies ONLY care what they can get away with and how CHEAP they can get away with it #the idiots claiming that ai will make art 'more efficient' don't get it #art isn't about efficiency #even if you are a commercial and professional artist #artists make art because we not only enjoy the final outcome #but we enjoy the act of creation itself #it's the only thing that makes working for a soulless exec in an art job mildly bearable #with ai you are a commissioner and the machine is the artist. do not get it twisted.#thinking about how TOR books still paid minimal amounts of money for an author with a 7 figure book deal #bc they could use a ai generated image on the cover #and it doesn't even look good to an ARTISTS eye #but they don't care #bc it will look passable to everybody else
