Theres A Protest Going On Against AI Art Over On Artstation, So I Feel Like Now Is The Time For Me To

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

No one is talking about my mans dogs being the first thing to hit the screen...

Ain't nothing wrong with it

It just threw me off

His grippers was just... descending 💀

And Feathers is in ep. 9!, And I think earlier on in the show she was on the table dancing with the orange haired dude!

Now that I have your attention….

Let’s discuss.

These women got me down bad and they don’t even speak

I am now making the headcannon that they are all friends and having soft tacos later. Plus the guy and the blue haired girl are always with each other anyway

Fits are fire (especially the black girl)

I’m not arguing any of these unless u make a BETTER statement

Ran is beautiful.

She lowkey has that Jamie Hewlett Art vibe and they deserve to be shipped with Sevika every now and then. Also, she uses double swords to fight. Someone do something with that information.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking about shifting to arcane.

I just...bro...if I see a comfort character I will immediately 💀.

Literally have two different "people" to shift as because I couldn't choose if I wanted to be a firelight or your average Zauntie
