I’ve seen lots of posts promoting the National Year of Reading which is brilliant! Not so brilliant is that there are some using AI-generated imagery which is disheartening. Illustrations are really important when it comes to children wanting to pick up books. Let’s keep the industry thriving!

The true Hogwarts Legacy is 70k pounds donated to the people who took the legal definition of 'woman' to the UK supreme court and got a ruling that excluded trans women. You can't 'separate the artist from the art' when the proceeds of the art are used to attack trans people.

The UK Supreme Court really thinks it's done something. Trans people aren't going anywhere no matter how many courts they buy out. This ruling will be a shameful mark on the UK for decades to come and is the real legacy of JK Rowling.

I was a huge fan of HP growing up, and into adulthood. That is passed, that is purged. I will not line the pockets of hateful people who do harm to vulnerable communities. I stand with the trans community and am deeply saddened by today’s ruling. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. 🏳️‍⚧️

Hello 👋 It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I’ve been very busy working on several projects. I’ve just finished the 4th book in a series I’ve been working on for about 3 years, so I’m taking a minute to catch my breath a bit. Back soon with some new work!

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴 Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists. If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter. openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...

Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.
