You have to be willing to sit through horrible albums sometimes to look for new music and you might find it impossible but it’s what makes life worth living to me. it takes the discipline of a warrior to be a true music lover not everyone can survive it

Can you please just tell us what is wrong with ai and why, I can't find anything from actual industry artists ect online through Google just tech bro type articles. All the tech articles are saying it's a good thing, and every pro I follow refuses to explain how or why it's bad. How am I supposed to know something if nobody will teach me and I can't find it myself

I’ll start by saying that the reason pro artists are refusing to answer questions about this is because they are tired. Like, I dont know if anyone actually understands just how exhausting it is to have to justify over and over again why the tech companies that are stealing your work and actively seeking to destroy your craft are ’bad, actually’.

I originally wrote a very longform reply to this ask, but in classic tumblr style the whole thing got eaten, so. I do not have the spoons to rewrite all that shit. Here are some of the sources I linked, I particularly recommend stable diffusion litigation for a thorough breakdown of exactly how generative tools work and why that is theft.

or this video if you are feeling lazy and only want the art-side opening statements:

In less than 24 hours Open AI’s Chat GPT has been hit by TWO class action lawsuits!   Honestly may this serve as a warning to companies who are jumping in like lemmings, that the legality of this tech has yet to be established!

The Secret Invasion Intro’s Ai tech they hired has a large body of Stable Diffusion work. If they used SD on the intro it traces back to the Laion Database. The Laion that is being sued by a photographer that wanted to opt out. Also SD being sued by Getty and a Class action. pic.twitter.com/hVSGmuTSly  — Jon Lam #CreateDontScrape (@JonLamArt) June 22, 2023ALT
"But eight people worked on that sequence so it doesn't cost jobs"  Here's a side by side comparison for Secret Invasion and Ms Marvel's credit sequences. I've worked on these projects, i know how many people are involved. It's usually more than EIGHT.#SecretInvasion pic.twitter.com/pKhHH4zeQx  — Matt Taylor (@MattTaylorDraws) June 22, 2023ALT

Everytime you feed someone’s work- their art, their writing, their likeness- into Midjourney or Dall-E or Chat GPT you are feeding this monster.


Go forth and educate yourself.
