Artists do not want to stop AI.
Artists want to stop IP theft.

Without the work of artists AI could not create anything.

The original creators of the data used need to be compensated and artists whose names are used in prompts deserve royalties.

There shouldn't even be a debate!!!

You have to pay musicians if you sample their work.
There are restrictions on AI that generate music for this reason.

Be a decent person and demand an ethical use of this technology.

Taking a moment to thank all our YouTube subbies for getting us past the 100k milestone. Our main webseries (@AFKwebseries on Birb) ) is in post production for the latest miniseries (A Hole In The World) and our accidentally viral stormtrooper parody is going into S2 in the new year. youtube.com/watch?v=dIDADjJ_jy

Supposed to sleep now, but got all giddy and giggly cause I remember my GFs surprise she made. Earlier we both played two goblins in WoW, Stabbz and Slicez! Today I got a small comic with Slicez asking Stabbz to go adventuring with her xD she made speech bubbles, posed her character and even made comic layout. It was do sweet β™‘ might try to share it tomorrow, it's kinda big so might be an issue ! Anyway, good night for real this time :)

After been doing tons of stuff today im off to bed, im totally drained. I was dumb in the morning and only ate 3 breakfast cookies,rode an overcrowded bus, painted way past lunch and into dinner, got some subway, bus again, then promised as i got home to help a friend shopping. So now, bed and girlfriend - probably some AngoryTom and snuggles. Good night everyone ^^

I'm all out of aquarelle paper, otherwise I'd love to make another one of these - it's a cabbage face xD there's something called " decoration cabbage " here in Sweden and it's so pretty. So ended up with this one day

Hmmm, id imagine... your own lifes work into an AI and then that 'pool' to generate new images, it could be a nice pension thing. When my hands stop working the program can take over, I could accept that. Then its an insurance rather than a threat

AI art makes me sad, especially since it seems to be the artists responsabillity to say no to the creators of AIs and not the AI creators job to ask for permission ( Or pay for the image usage ). Only time id think AI is good, would be if it was all my own stuff and people paid me and not a programmer for the content. The work I put into school and training is way bigger than an AI googling my images. >_<

I did good, didn't I? There are mistakes but I think it's nice - soft and pretty. It's a minotaur or maybe a troll, gonna finish it later on. I wish I could paint in more colours than blue lol, aquarelle just seem to end up better in blue for me.

Hope to see you there!

This one was ages ago, I made a poster for a local convention, where you could play , , and whatnot. I have all the sketches , first it seems like the idea was a game between a demon, angel and death but I changed to elf and a dragon.

Friend didn't attend today's meeting either, now he has even more notes left on his door lol. went well thou, got ambushed by goblins and lost 26hp - its good that I'm playing a sturdy dwarf. Not so much rp this session, mostly fighting. Our lumpy goblin friend from last time almost got killed, but with some lucky rolls he lived. Now he has fancy armour from the other goblins and weps, he is trying to live by the rule of cool - which won't end well... dual shields and a sword in his mouth

Ttrpg night tonight! Gonna see how our friend who couldn't attend will react to the notes my character put on his forehead in-between outings.

Ugh, I want to play something but IDK what. Cant buy anything, just hard figuring out what in my endless game list i should play. I want weird and fun - anyone with any suggestions? This is my steam profile, if you see something nudge me. You maybe know some sort of amazing steam workshop add that coould tickle my fancy. steamcommunity.com/id/Zolah

yay, been one of those " Im so fucking angry " days. In pure seething anger I cleaned up the messiest of messes, took out heaps of garbage, and washed dishes. Now its more clean and im less likely to be ' mean' towards anyone. So tired of this, im not someones mom. Its not in my working description to be either a telephone or a nag. Felt good to agressivly clean and listen to Alice Cooper, at least my GF knows its better I am angry than bottling up. ( Its IMO equalient of having a good cry )

I've experienced many moments of burnout in my life & career. Being something that I neurologically am not is exhausting. Wearing the mask of neurotypicality drains my batteries. For decades, I didn't fully understand what was going on with me. Finding the community online woke me to the concept of autistic burnout. When I found the community writing excerpted below, I finally understood an important part of myself.
