What Do You Find Within The Lines Of Distant Suns And Their Systems Where I Come Up Empty?

Humans are weird

Art, In any form. What if aliens don't have that creativity in them? Kinda like 'Mars need Moms' the aliens have a very bleak and sad world. So what if they see a human expressing their art, how would they react?

Alien: Human Kevin, what are the strange shapes and colours that you are making?

Kevin: oh it's just a doodle of what I'm feeling.

Alien, taking notes that humans make shapes when feeling their emotions: Interesting..

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

One thing i never expected to happen iz Aziraphale helping me with my eating disorder. I've been in recovery for a while and now everytime I want to skip a meal or a treat I tell my self "Aziraphale would eat and enjoy this food,and probably have hot chocolate later so you should eat as well" and it weirdly works
