Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

This and when you use gen ai you are not creating anything. You are using a computer to produce an image based on a prompt. There is ZERO creative expression in that image.
It is a mockery of what anyone’s creative brain can do if given the chance.

Every time I hear the excuse being anti-AI is ableist I think of this guy, Chuck Close. He was paralyzed and couldn’t hold a paint brush so he came up with wrist braces he could strap brushes to.

Millions of artists have overcome mental and physical obstacles to create.

The fuck is your excuse?
The painter, Chuck Close working on a self portrait in his studio, paint brushes attacked to his wrist braces

That cool artist you admire is probably struggling real hard right now and trying to make it seem like things aren't as bad as they are. You should give them some love.

I'm against gen Ai in art but imagine how life changing it might have been for some artists if they could sell the licence for their work to opt in then receive royalties every time their art's used. It pains me knowing how much has been stolen and devalued when a fair solution is right there.

If the welfare cuts kill me, every single Labour MP is invited to my funeral to view their handiwork. I might also write letters to Starmer, Reeves and Kendall to be mailed upon my death 🤔

This is such a lovely idea and congratulations 🎉

Hi, I'm Ari, I'm a disabled artist with a thing for fantasy ✨ I don't really have a favourite colour scheme but I've been drawn to a lot of orange and yellow/gold recently

I refuse to give AI the ✨ emoji.

It’s already coming for my livelihood. It can’t have my favorite emoji.

Please be advised that I will continue to use ✨ to mean *ooooh it’s magic* or *the emoji that came before this one is now shiny and special*.

None of the artists I know who are living from commission to commission are even close to comfortably well off. Asking people to pay what you know the skills you've honed are worth and what you need to survive is good and anyone who says otherwise is deeply unserious or hoping to exploit you.

Is it just me or is 90% of the pro AI hype just massively damaged people who can't express a single artistic notion and want to punish artists for having something special that they themselves will never have
