My stance on AI "Art"
3 years ago
So, I guess I need to make this clear, in case anyone asks me about it... what is my stance on AI "art?" Well, I discussed this on my DeviantArt account, so I'll mainly take stuff from that and put it here... but the short answer is... HELL. FUCKING. NO!!! FUCKING NEVER WILL I EVER USE IT OR EVEN TOLERATE IT
Lately, I have made the ultimate descision to deprioritize DeviantArt in favor of FurAffinity for this very reason, because of their AI shit. I really am not in the mood of supporting DeviantArt's AI bullshit and posting there, I feel, will only contribute to that whole thing. While I do believe AI COULD be used to contribute to society positively (key word being "Could," because I have far more complex and political views about AI's use in society), the current form of it, where AI can use vast datasets of peoples' stuff without their knowledge, is unacceptable and destructive and I will not tolerate it. I can deal with the constant redesigns of DA, I can deal with Eclipse, I can deal with a lot of things this site throws at me, but this is a step too far for me and I will not stand for it.
This is not up for debate, and I don't give a shit if any of you tech fucks thinks I am being a "luddite" about it, or whatever stupid post-modernist term that exists. Read my text and get it right: I want no part in this fucking AI "art" bullshit, period. If you tech fucks want to cancel me on Twitter over this, go right ahead, I couldn't give a shit. If anything, you'll be doing ME a fucking favor by doing that; spread the fucking word that Kobalt Steel HATES AI "art"
So yeah, there's my stance... absolutely never will I use any of this shit, you can 100% guarantee that
