Angry Artist - Blog Posts

Anyone supporting AI art, AI chats, and anything in terms of generative AI used for entertainment (with some very minor exceptions) can get off my account. I've engaged in some generative AI for funnies before, and thought it to be silly and harmless. But at the end of the day, art means something because someone made it. You can replicate AI by just doing some casual online roleplay, there's never a shortage of rpers. You can get a free online art program. You can use a cheap mechanical pencil and lined paper and draw something yourself. You can commission someone to get the art done that you really really want. You can put in the goddamned work yourself and make something. It's hard, and I've had millions of bad art days. But those days with bad art, where motivation is scarce, and where I don't have the money for commissioning someone. But (most!! artists still deserve to be paid, but this comes at the detriment of those who can't afford it. A struggle, and neither the artist nor the one who doesn't have the money to engage in it are the real enemy here) true art is free. Some little doodles on math homework. A messy fanfic made past midnight by some random 13 year old. A shitty photography album made with a broken, hand-me-down camera. These all are leagues more impressive, more sacred, and more worthy of recognition than whatever some rando generated by typing a couple words into a machine. AI art is fun! No one should be shamed for finding it fun! Tech crazes are interesting! But once you learn the harm, stop. Keep real art alive.

I stayed up way too late making this.

Presenting... Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney — The AI Art Case

Користування тамблером be like/Tumblr using be like:

Отже, що ми маємо: української мови як мови застосунку все ще нема (зате є російська, хто б сумнівався); людям помилково зносять акаунти і не відновлюють їх; художників, які викладають ЗАЦЕНЗУРЕНІ NSFW арти кидають в тіньовий бан, тоді як зграї повієботів штурмують особисті повідомлення і невинні теги; нове СЕО просто жахливе; проблемні особини усіх видів прекрасно тут почуваються... Тепер ще й штучний інтелект підключився. Без жодного попередження. При чому параметр, що запобігає використанню вмісту блогу для того ж тренування ШІ, був вимкнений з самого початку. Я про це взнала досить пізно. За цей час мене могли обібрати до нитки, і далеко не факт, що вони цього вже не зробили.

Хочеться просто взяти і знести акаунт до дідька матеревій, але я розумію, що це мені каже моя імпульсивність, та й не хочеться втрачати контакт з людьми, які важливі для мене. Тим паче що особливої погоди це не зробить. Але так чи інакше, я, скоріше за все, перестану постити на деякий час. Якщо зовсім не переїду кудись в інше місце (про що я замислювалася вже дуже давно, якщо бути чесною).

Коротше, поки що я лишаюся тут, буду відслідковувати ситуацію та шукати якісь рішення... Якщо тамблер остаточно не накриється.

So, what we have here: Ukrainian language is still not available as an application language (but there is russian, of course); people's accounts are mistakenly terminated and not restored; artists who post CENSORED NSFW art are thrown into shadow ban, while swarms of pornbots storm DMs and innocent tags; the new CEO is just awful; all types of bigots and other disgusting people are feeling just fine here... Now AI has also joined. With no warning, with that toggle turned off by default. And it was pretty late when I discovered it. I`m pretty sure my works were already stolen. They had plenty of time for it.

I want to simply delete the acc, but I understand it`s impulsive decision I can regret later, besides I dont want to loose people who are important to me. Its also kinda useless. But I`ll probavly stop posting here for a while. Probably Ill move to another site (I was considering this option long time ago tbh)

But I`m still staying here, watching and searching for solutions... If tumblr wont die completely.

Ходила нещодавно в художній магазин... Що я можу сказати? Ті, хто кажуть "Xудожники мають бути бідними" і "Xай свої каракулі віддають за безцінь" ніколи в житті не бачили ціни на нормальні арт-матеріали

Так що не бубніть на художників і поважайте чужий труд

Recently I attended the art shop... What can I say? People who are talking something like "Artists should be poor" and "They shouldn't ask a lot of money for their pieces" have never seen prices for good art supplies

So, don't ramble crap about artists and respect their works

Artist Peeve...

Don't know if anyone else has to go through this, but it happens to me a lot.

And that is when I tell someone I write fiction/draw illustrations, they assume those skills transfer and/or that automatically means I'd want to do a COMPLETLY DIFFERENT MEDIUM FOR THEIR RANDOM PROJECT.

Just because I write fiction, that doesn't mean I'd be any good at writing articles. Just because I do illustrations doesn't mean that I can take photographs any better than the average person.

And did it even occur to the people asking-SAYING I should volunteer to do these other skills/activates that if I didn't mention (and show no evidence of participating in), that maybe, JUST MAYBE, they're not skills I have or activities I enjoy, and I most certainly don't want to do with my time, free or otherwise?

AND CERTAINLY NOT FOR FREE!
