Anti Ai Art - Blog Posts

This. All of this.

I had a tattoo client ask if I ever used AI to design tattoos for me. Man I spent the better part of a decade doing shitty bit work as a graphic designer and now that I have the space to do whatever I want, I'm gonna let the computer generate random garbage for me? What next should I have a computer that eats my dinner and fucks my wife?

I am actually so annoyed with the use of AI in scholastic settings and in Artists settings.

Someone once tried to defend the use of AI by saying;

“Without AI I wouldn’t pass this class” -someone who has always pulled top marks in the subject

“AI isn’t embarrassing to use as long as you are just using it to avoid research” -someone who wasn’t using it to avoid reaserch

“AI isn’t even a true AI because it’s made by a human so it’s basically research” -someone who doesn’t even use AI and pulls too grades in my grade

“I take what Chat GPT says and reword it when i translate it” -MANY people in French classes in my school

“If it isn’t caught by *inset website for detecting AI* then it doesn’t really matter because I put enough effort in” -someone online who wasn’t using AI for an essay

“Well, *insert famous person* uses it to create * insert art*” -post on instagram

“I only use it to write emails for work” -my uncle about his job where he is a supervisor

Do these people genuinely not understand how stupid these arguments sound. How none of these are valid arguments to justify using AI especially for “creating” art. Most of these were said to me when I shared my opinion on AI

I’ve also heard people refer to using generative AI to create pictures and calling themselves AI artists. They do not understand that what they are doing is typing into a machine that then takes the work of many real people and artist and puts them together.

Do I think AI is Inherently evil? No.

But I do believe that it should not be used in a scholastic setting at any point and that when it is used it should be advertised that it is AI.

For example:

I saw an improve performance where the first half of the performance was written by 2020 Chat GPT then the actors improved from there. I personally think this is ok because it was the gimmick of the show

A family member of mine enjoys using AI to create pictures and exploring the limits of what it can create. (At this point in time) he uses it as something to do and does not believe that he is an artist or is creating this “art”

Using AI to help you manage tasks (goblin tools is what I’m thinking off but I imagine there are other instances where this applies)

Summarizing medical documents and research paper in order to decipher the language that makes it harder for “regular people” to understand

I don’t understand how anyone who creates their own art or writes their own papers or does their own research can be ok with the use of AI

Seeing a concerning amount of AI destiel art, and honestly it’s such an insult to the characters themselves. Two characters so defined by their humanity and you render them in AI slop? Die in a hole.

We can do something they can’t, make anything into existence…..

Like drawing them pregnant >:}

The pencils breaking into smaller pencils

And why they treating word pencil like a slur. Reblog to scare ai losers away 🤭

Never sell your integrity, if you make something, at least make it with your hands and your effort, not some tool that steals from thousands of people, you are worth more than that, they don't deserve a crumb of the creativity and perseverance humans have.

To AI " artists".

Rant incoming.

Yeah, it's in quotations for a reason, you are no artist if you use AI to create.

So let me start by telling you how much of a lazy person one has to be to use AI to create for them, are you really that inept that you can't be bothered to pick up a pencil? So scared of failure you'd rather not even try at all and let the computer do so for you? That is just pathetic.

And before you use that excuse of " but disabled people..." that's incorrect, people have adapted to make art if they desired despite disability for a long time before ai existed, these are real artists that put in effort into what they create, not some lazy sack of potatoes like " AI artists" are.

In fact, even a child is more of an artist than "Ai artists." are, because at least a child has love for their creations, whatever they might be, a computer cannot do that, a computer cannot have emotions, without that, art is hollow, it's... not really art at that point, even a child's drawing has more soul and thought behind it than any ai slop will ever have.

" but it draws better than I ever could... "

Seriously? Let me remind you it does make mistakes too, it was made in our image, but it doesn't have the same logic a real artist has, it will have it's limitations, a computer cannot be a human being, it will not think like one.

And if you never even picked up a pencil in the first place, how do you know you absolutely can't be a good artist? You never tried, your sloth kept that future from you.

If you are too afraid of falling you'll never fly, so to actual artists: go on and make those mistakes, that's how you learn.

" but it'd take a lot of time to learn."

And? Of course it will, it is a skill, it will take time, but the journey is how you develop, you cannot expect to achieve anything in life easily, it will take effort on your part,like it or not.

So stop making excuses and maybe try actually drawing for once, without your precious little tool doing it for you, if someone like you can actually manage being anything more than mediocre that is.

" it's not stealin..."

Would you call doing some modification on someone's drawing and claiming it as yours stealing? Of course it is stealing, from several people even, it hurts actual artists and you deserve to have your stolen "art" drowned in poison, you incompetent buffoon.

I do not support AI art, and if you do... kindly take yourself out the door or I will do so for you.

In short: if you are an " AI artist" you are not welcome here, you are not even an artist, just a mediocre human being that I will be glad to block, take your shitty slop elsewhere, preferably to the trash.

tumblr has an AI toggle you should turn on to prevent your work being shared with training models/etc! it's under settings & visibility.

I want to leave DA in the dust forever due to Certain Things but I love stuff like this and really can only reliably find them there, I've tried like #charactermemes and #artmemes but can't find what I'm looking for? Any help?
