Hi, I'm Manu (he/it) and I'm a queer 🏳️🌈⚧️ artist from Finland 🇫🇮 born in 1995. I mostly do short comics along with fantasy and furry art but I like to draw many other things too

So AI is
- A zero-profit money sinkhole
- Slowing down workers who have to keep fixing its hallucinations
- Filling the internet with lies and deception
- Fighting creativity
- Ruining the customer tech market
- Killing open source software
- Destroying education
But for some reason we "need" it?

Sora 2 apparently cost something like $5 billion to run every year and so far made OpenAI around $1.4 million.

My first phone looked like this. It didn't even have bluetooth or anything fancy like that.
I also remember playing Snake II and Space Impact on my mom's old Nokia

I want it on the record of history that artists realized the harm immediately and were (and continue to be) loud bitches trying to stop the idiots who are out of their minds.
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
