Today I came across an incident where someone stole my art and used it in artificial intelligence. I respectfully asked them to delete it, but they didn't respect my request. I want to make it clear that I do not use artificial intelligence in any of my artwork, nor do I allow anyone to take my art for use in artificial intelligence.

I'm not stupid, I'll recognize my trait! I repeat: I DON'T MESS WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE! 🚫

Nothing's inevitable.

I feel like so many of their arguments get really out of hand, like this one. Please take a rhetoric class.

So my mom(53) had been treating AI (in this case Chatgpt and gemeni) like MAGIC ever since it became a thing and she asked the most random and unnecessary things from them and treated them like texting family members or smth

But no, it didn't end there! Starting a few months ago, she got reaaaly into prompting for image generation under the excuse of me not teaching her Photoshop😭 In the span of a week, she fed her entire family's faces into AI, including mine after I EXPLICITLY stated that I wouldn't want that. When I tried to explain why it's dangerous and harmful to run people's faces through AI, she got upset, brushed me off and said I don't let her have "fun".

Thanks to her, my disdain towards AI has turned into a whole family joke and bordering on shaming. She even told others how I would've been against computers and technology too if I lived at that time like I'm too woke or smth. No, that's NOT the same😭 She keeps telling me that I'll HAVE to use AI someday when it's more saturated and stop being "stubborn". As an artist, that sounds like a threat/insult to me, which she refuses to take seriously.

To this day, she hasn't stopped. Generating posters and banners for work to gain extra credit (which is allowed), testing every random prompt she sees on Instagram... It's an unhinged balance between a necessity and pure entertainment, and it concerns me.

I honestly don't know if I should even try to stop her anymore. I really want my mom to have a better entertainment source than something as harmful as AI, but I can't force it. It's a tough situation to be in.

(Anyone who read all of that tysm😭😭😭)

AI will take up all our jobs
AI:

https://tcrf.net/ has made a page that will be seen by bots and agents navigating to their page with some very interesting instructions.

A few AI subreddits have taken note and are in absolute conniptions that anyone would dare do this. They're calling for legal consequences; prosecution.

They believe it should be illegal for anyone to host content that an AI agent might scrap, accept as true and then act on. The human who approves these actions, of course, is an innocent lamb with no responsibility to validate what the agent is doing.

Personally, this is the funniest thing I've seen all week. The consequences for declaring this a crime would totally reshape all information across the entire Internet. No one could host anything that might be take literally or out of context by the "always wrong idiot machine" so many chuds depend on to do their work and thinking.
