I'm Sick And Tired Of This Shit - Tumblr Posts
To everyone who has or might send something dirty: STOP BEFORE I COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND USE YOUR CORPSE AS A HALLOWEEN DECORATION!!!
Beginning to see AI imaging being posted on Tumblr and NOT tagged as AI and instead as like "watercolor illustrations" or "digital art" or even "photography", and it's pretty obvious that people in the notes don't realize it's AI and I'm starting to lose my fucking mind.
As an advice to recognize them: Those pics always are too overly detailed in a weird way because the AI has to fill up those pixels. You can often not really even tell what's going on. They have some kinda cool *aesthetic* going on at times, but if you try to actually look at it, you'll see it's completely wonky. It's literally just "vibes". Trying to put some logic into the pictures makes it fall completely apart.
Usually composition and perspective are shit too, and you'll mostly see landscapes because you will scream if you ever stumble upon an AI-generated hand.
And of course people doing that call themselves "Generative artists" on Instagram and get 60k followers because since it's just typing some words in to get pics, they can literally have a 50 pics backlog and post 2 a day, because that's all the algorithm asks for, right?
Going fucking insane. I don't wanna look at some trash that a computer spit out using millions of artworks taken without consent and then recycled. At least if they correctly tagged this shit we could make fun of it.
I look at art to wonder how much time and love and skill and passion someone put into it, sometimes despite their own condition. I look at art to be inspired at how people just so carefully handcrafted something out of their own mind. I don't look at art to wonder what words someone put into a computer. You can't even control it, it's literally a gacha game. It isn't art, it's AI imaging.
It literally puts out recognizable signatures and shutterstock watermarks and then they pretend that it's not using stolen art?? My dude the #1 advice they give people to make "good" AI prompts is using an artist's name! How do you think the AI knows about this artist?? It's in the fucken database, Jessie!! They put everyone's art in a DATABASE to use it for profit, JESSIE!! (Yes, AI programs require subscriptions and "give you the commercial rights" of the pics. Right now you can literally ask the AI "Cool landscape by -Artist-" and then sell the picture. You can even ask for actual people's faces if you'd like! And if you use an open source one, it can make realistic [redacted]! Such fun/s)
They use "trending on ArtStation" as a keyword for their AI prompt for fuck's sake. Everyone's art and photos and everything is neatly labeled in a giant fucken database and the artists were never asked if they could... You know... Maybe not have their art in a giant database used to copy them?
The best part of this is that they already made a marketplace to sell prompts. They sell "secret words" I'm not even kidding.
Do I have to pretend it's normal or am I allowed to lose my mind, because I can't pretend for much longer. The more I learn about it the more insane I get about how little respect some people have for artists.
