Watched The Newest Owl House Episode With My Partner Because I'm Unable To Control Myself!!! It's Also

Watched the newest Owl House episode with my partner because I'm unable to control myself!!! It's also more or less the only way to make sure not to get spoiled.

BUT I won't post anything about it before it officially releases out of respect for the crew and everyone with more patience than me

I changed my avatar days ago now but on the Tumblr app I still see my old one... Functional website they said...

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

You can turn that off in dashboard preferences. It's called "stuff in your orbit."

Thank you dear stranger I owe you my life. No longer shall I be plagued by visions of what my follows like. May your winter festivities be nice and bountiful
