Every single time a singer or authors is asked if they would be okay with their worked used in Ai generations they ignore the question or block the once’s asking it, all the while the ones using Ai image gens ask artists to
“take it on the chin”

Alright let’s play this little game of “democratization”
What’s stopping us from just pirating your books? You what? Worked hard writing it? Ha. I don’t believe in copyright.
That song? That game? Ha, I don’t believe in “hard work”, it’s actually gatekeeping.

Generative Ai will now be referred to as Imitation Ai.

We have been saying for months that AI should not have used our artwork. We have said AI under law even if a "derivative" cannot compete in the same market.
These have been hurting many by exploiting artists to replace them within their own field by using their art. twitter.com/JonLamArt/stat…

People running warm up sketches thro Ai and saying it looks better than the OG, have no clue what a warm up is.
It’s to tests values, colors, and get your muscle memory active. It’s not for perfection.
135
Remember authors that you need to fit into a narrowly defined trope based on years of popular books written by the ones allowed to write books.
Perfect, this is exactly what originality needed, ML rating your books! twitter.com/JackHarbon/sta…

Ai ppl want to sue artists -the ones they are stealing artwork from
(I can’t even make this up)
I’m at the point where I think art should be behind paywalls

I have 10 covers and novel art to finish by next months end, I cannot possibly work harder, faster for cheaper. I work thro weekends, and long into the night, and volunteer to advocate for ethical Ai.
When Ai is stealing that hard work we do for free and selling it back to you twitter.com/meganroseruiz/…

I'm not the first one to say industry people did use and experiment AI when it came out.
It was marketed to us and artists were paid to use it. I certainly experimented with it, I even signed up for the beta.
But it takes a bigger person to admit they were wrong about something

Potus, please look into image generation programs that are destroying peoples lives, taking jobs, and creating an online environment that is dangerous for everyone.
These programs can generate some pretty serious matters including children that should not be taken lightly. twitter.com/POTUS/status/1…

Artists are at a catch 22. We should have guilds speaking on our behalf like authors and musicians have, but we don’t. Artists are often independent and have to speak out for ourselves. But speaking out constantly about harms of ML is draining and can have mental exhaustion.

“Mindless bigots”
Says the man whom is actively fighting to exploit artists
So tired of being told “artists can benefit from our own exploitation, free labor, and pain”

Exactly, pro artists using imitative Ai to sell out other artists are not realizing this Ai is not meant to keep them, they are replaceable and their messages are reading clear to the companies seeing their posts.
AI is stealing from you, to replace you. twitter.com/JonLamArt/stat…

I’m so tired rn. “We can explain away the exploitation and cultural biases because….” Because you like free labor.
No such thing as see we started with this sketch and made it into this: “so it’s not unethical” Ai right now is unethical. Please hire an artist twitter.com/bradfordlitfes…

I’ve personally gotten many emails from artists thinking of stopping drawing to thoughts of unaliving. This is more serious than the media let’s on.
Many of the users are older and do not understand how it’s hurting artists and think “capitalisticly” this is an easy $ for them. twitter.com/tprstly/status…

What will happen is ethical business and artists will be pushed down from those using imitative Ai. They will have the mass production advantage, bc that is what this is about: marketing with (exploitation practices).
Which isn't new, but it will force others (even if they do..

At the very beginning of AI/ML I said the one art job that will NEVER be affected is concept artist. If you havent worked as one, you will never truly know how much work actually goes into one design. twitter.com/JoelCHoltzman/…
