Some of you may know, but this weekend my cat Skwisgaar got an obstruction and we had to take him to the emergency vet TWICE The vet bills were a very hard hit, so I set up a Ko-fi goal to help pay it off while I beg for more hours at work and find freelance ko-fi.com/morbidember/...

The vet holding down my cat while he's wrapped up in a towel, he's a white and orange long haired cat with a van pattern

We're at the stage of the AI grift where major companies like Epic are openly using it... but aren't calling it "generative AI" because they know the majority hates it. They use euphemisms like "emerging technologies" now; be on the lookout for those, and call them out for what it actually is.

"Learning a lot. I am absolutely understanding the concern of using AI." Bud, this was you barely two years ago. You cannot play the fucking ignorance card to cover your ass, and the fact that you tried is proof enough that this apology is as hollow as your artistic integrity. Get fucked

Two twitter posts from Jorge R. Gutierrez in 2024 calling out GenAI for what it is.

Top post: "AI" with a screenshot of a man looking back at the camera and saying "the secret ingredient is crime!"

Bottom post: "The original animation creators of the future are learning skills by working up the ladder with experience and teamwork. With all the AI short term thinking, a whole generation of creators will not be able to grow to make original hit movies and series. The ecosystem is in peril."

I am obviously very happy to see Jorge reverse his decision and back out. But this all still happened and the stain of it will not wash away easily. Studios will use this moment to justify trying to use it, but hopefully the backlash was massive enough that causes them to pause.

AI is a plague and it has no place in film/animation. The united shunning of one of our best who chose to accept this tech proves that. This is the line we must continue to hold. I am sure we will have to do this again, but I am happy to hold the line with you all.

I know today's animation news is disappointing, but please don't use it as an excuse to give up on animation. That's what the tech bros want you to do. Keep making human made art, tell your favorite artists and indie creators that you like what they do, support those shows.

In case it's not clear, "PiRATs! Of the Seven Sewers" and any other projects I make will never utilize AI. Art is what makes us human, and to willingly give that up is to give up our humanity. AI has no place in art, and no place in PiRATs! 🐀🏴‍☠️

A great reminder to everyone to never put people on pedestals. No matter how “holy” they seem in your eyes right now, it can and will be taken away from you. All it takes is one act of betrayal, as we’re seeing in real time The only thing left for us to do is to keep fighting, and not give in to AI

yikes :(

Instagram post from Loryn Brantz. Text reads,

I am horrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an Al platform. My time at BuzzFeed was marked by continually being taken advantage of and lied to. They repeatedly assured me in good faith that they would never do anything with Cuppy without my input, yet offered me no legal options, insisting that I would never need them. The news that this character, who is based on my own personality and whom I created as a microphone to spread love and positivity, has been taken and turned into a soulless Al puppet feels like having my intestines pulled out of my body.
Somebody leaked the news to me early on that there were talks happening, and I pleaded with the CEO Jonah Peretti directly not to do it. Instead, he tried to talk me into signing an NDA. Obviously, I did not.
This is an assault on artists everywhere.
I encourage you to boycott BuzzFeed and any Al-produced or adjacent animation.

You know what call it gatekeeping but "AI animation" categorially does not exist. Animation is the process of simulating movement using still images, which is something AI simply isn't really doing. It's using probability to approximate images with no consideration to movement.

These AI companies are trying SO HARD to get you to accept it. "Look! We got these popular artists to use it and endorse it! You like these artists, don't you? Don't you want to support your favorite artists?" THEY ARE LOSING MONEY AND NEED YOU TO BUY IN. DON'T FALL FOR IT.

I didn’t think I had to make a public thing about it, but just to let those connected with me know: I lost my love for storyboarding, and the desire to be in animation as a whole, years ago. So please stop sending me industry job listings, as I’ve been happier being an artist on my own terms 🖤

the lesson to be learned here is that when you let artists and creatives cook, instead of doing everything possible to increase shareholder returns, you get creative art that becomes immortal and inspires everyone!! you will always fall short when you don't trust the artists to do what they do best
