Was inspired by Wacom's most recent horror show, where they used Ai to promote their tablets.
I'm really struggling to put all my thoughts down, but I really wanted to attempt to show the way Ai makes me feel. It's a false dragon.
I think I find myself increasingly disgusted by the lack of humanity demonstrated by higher ups of companies like Wacom. Their decision to include generative AI in their ad is pure madness motivated only by the desire to save a few bucks at the cost of devaluing the human experience. It would have cost them very little to have an artist draw them a fine dragon for their advertisement, but they chose to use AI. (and don't give me that bull about 'oh we didn't know it was Ai, it was a third party.' I don't believe it.)
The big question is why?
I'm not going to pretend I have the best answer, but I'm fairly certain it's because, like the people that sing Ai's praises, they really hate humanity. You'd have to in order to think it was fine to not only take someone's work, but their life's passion and put it through a meat grinder just so you can prompt product. That's all they want... product... slop for the masses. It's heartbreaking. Needless to say I won't be buying any Wacom products anymore. Shame too, I liked my tablet, now I can't touch it without thinking about the parasite that is Wacom.
Ai is such a disturbing trend. It's a terrible beast pretending to be a creation tool , but all it does is consume and regurgitate. Unable to create without scrapping millions of images and texts. It has but one goal. To get rid of you. Make no mistake, this tool was developed specifically to remove people from the equation. Why hire an artist when it's just as easy to type in a prompt? Maybe it's not as good, but its instant, its cheap. Why hire a journalist when it's faster to just prompt some popular text? It doesn't even have to be accurate... just cheap.
I'm trying not to rant about the horrors of capitalisms at this point, but X'D maybe another time.
and I know i'm kind of preaching to the choir but
This year is going to be awful in regards to AI. All I can say is brace yourselves, educate your loved ones (as there's bond to be a million new ways to scam people) and give no quarter to this garbage.

You've put this into what I've been feeling exactly. From the image to your writing, I've been fighting with people on twitter over AI for the last year and a half. The general public won't listen until it's their jobs and livelihoods at stake - and those already are. I'm tired of preaching where no one will listen or at the very least understand. That said, make sure you run your art through Nightshade and Glaze. One poisons the data when your image is trained and the other one corrupts the data so that it cannot be trained.
Love the design and the idea behind this.
I do honestly wish AI would go away. I love artists and would not want to see their jobs or talent disappear.

I feel you so much, here. I've been struggling with motivation to create or share art at all lately, due to a storm of thoughts just like this. It's miserable seeing this trend take hold, and how the attitude of some people just gets so nasty and entitled about how it "evens the playing field" as though artists are gatekeepers? Gross.
Although hearing about programs like Nightshade that poison datasets gives me hope -- just like said above!

I really feel you there. I'm not really good at spotting ai, so it really inferits me when I like a picture and find out it was made by Ai. Because of ai, i now can't really like a picture without some hesitation
