The Depressing Reality of DeviantArt (and everything else)
So I absolutely despise AI.
I hate how everyone seems to be fine with blindly feeding it information and data and then blindly using other peoples’ information, data, and creations without their consent.
I hate how “just use ChatGPT” is a thing.
I hate how “that sounds like a ChatGPT generated comment” is a thing.
And I really hate how it has infiltrated art (and creative endeavors in general).
FOR EXAMPLE.
I logged onto DeviantArt the other night – which I do on occasion, because I still post my garbage art there – and noticed that a lot of the posts on the main page looked…artificial.
I dug around a bit and found discovered that there is now a button you can press to indicate if some or all of a submission is AI-generated.
So I did a little experiment. I considered 30 random submissions on the main (most recent) pages of DeviantArt. Out of those 30 submissions, guess how many indicated at least some use of AI?
SEVENTEEN.
OUT OF THIRTY.
That’s disgusting.
What on earth are these people contributing to the art community other than theft?
Why are these people trying to pass this garbage off as art?
The worst part of it is that half of these idiots are probably the type to say “digital art isn’t art lololololol”
Oh my GOD
I am vehemently opposed to the use of artificial intelligence, at least in the casual capacity it’s been used as of late. What’s that quote? “There’s no AI, just other people’s data.” I refuse to willingly give my data over to AI to make it “smarter” and I refuse to willingly take advantage of other people’s data by producing things via AI said people probably didn’t give consent to the use of their data in that form. ChatGPT, art-generating stuff…nope.
So I’m a bit conflicted on this, because while I didn’t produce it myself, it is AI and I’m willingly consuming it while knowing it’s AI. But I didn’t seek it out on purpose. But I am listening to it.
And I like it. It is the catchiest goddamn thing I’ve heard in a while and I cannot get it out of my head.
“Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on glue”
I mean. Come on.
AI is Terrifying
This is frightening, y’all.
Is it perfect? No. But that’s because it’s really just beginning. It’ll get better and better and it’ll get harder and harder to distinguish this stuff from reality.
As I’ve said before, the future is bleak.
A.I.merica
Ha, this is pretty great.
The best part is looking at all the weird little AI mistakes, like extra (fewer) fingers or misspelled stuff.
Like the “39” (?) on Michigan’s jacket.
Or Nevada’s little raptor left hand.
Ah yes, my favorite baseball team, the Cincinnati Redes!
