I wish all AI generated thumbnails a very "Don't recommend channel"

Doing my part as a devoted hater by emailing the writing site I use about how much I hate their embrace of AI and how the current direction is making me unsure if I should renew my subscription or switch platform💅✨

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Owning demanding pets like parrots is actually a great idea when you have periods where your single brain cell malfunctions, because there is always need for out of cage time with the very important (and very passive) job of Watching Them to Make Sure They Are Not Destroying Everything™

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

I feel so bad for all indie devs trying to market their games by posting about its development, only to have their idea shamelessly copied and regurgitated as AI slop. How are you supposed to build an audience if revealing anything about the game means copies will be live long before your release?`

If I do nothing but post panels from my upcoming story once it's finished, I can't be blamed because the amount of colouring I have had to do (and still have left) is likely to be the end of me.

The whole "Let the AI handle important tasks for you!" is a prospect with no appeal to me as an individual that needs to double check if the key fob *really* locked the car.

The GTA 6 Collector's edition is so funny to me because the items you get strikes me as the kind of filler mishmash you get when placing second or third in an online competition where the flashy price for first place ate up 98% of the budget.

Since today is an International Day Against Trafficking, we wanted to talk about ethical production of art & merch. All our projects are co-led by a trafficking survivor, so this is really important to us! We also hope this inspires you to follow these guidelines in your own art too. 🧵

A graphic showing digital mockups of the merch from the Moments of Euphoria project. Text reads, "Ethical merch production: tips for creating merch without forced labor and negative environmental impact. Tip 1: Search printing companies for 'forced labor' and 'modern slavery' policies. Tip 2: Ask companies directly if they avoid forced labor. Tip 3: Consider environment-friendly alternatives (paper merch, paper sleeves, wooden pins). Tip 4: Buy local whenever possible! Share to help other artists create more ethical merch!"

If you ever feel bad that someone don't like your work, know that a dude left a one-star review on Nobel laureate José Saramago's book Blindness because the characters weren't self-sufficient survivalists...in a story written to explore the cruelty and indifference towards the truly vulnerable.

Reading non-fiction written by people without backbones is a frustrating experience because you will get mad and the author will be like "Eating children might be controversial, but they are a really good source of protein so it's a complicated issue. Especially when they are only eating orphans."

I feel like the Ocarina of Time art direction is giving me whiplash because I keep switching between finding it charming and find it a bit too Unreal 5 for comfort. I like the "miniature vibe" a lot of the gameplay/enemies gives off, but the characters are not working for me.

I feel like the reason I don't enjoy a lot of cosmic horror other than Lovecraft's is that a lot of authors simply make things weird and incomprehensible without ever giving the feeling that it makes perfect sense to something we can't even begin to understand.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

So many artists seems to forget that having people pay your for a commission isn't a generous donation; it's them purchasing a service. If an online store took my money but failed to send me the product I would not "remember that the seller is human<3" but dispute the charge due to it being a scam.

People justifying their AI-use with arguments showcasing how said AI-use is undermining their own abilities. I just saw "using AI to make art to show my therapist what I'm feeling when I can't through words" Prompts are words. You can develop that skill, if not outsourcing it for a flashier result.

Concept art is the most poisonous place to use Al. That's when your creative vision is the most fragile and undeveloped. When you see what the Al made and say, "That looks cool, I want my game to look like that!" it's like it's secretly swapping out your baby with its own.
