Hi #QueerArtistPH 🌿
I’m Ari, my work centers exploring timeless topics such as death, love, money, power and fried chicken through a surreal and lighthearted lense.

If you want to save time by using AI, I'll save time by not engaging with your work.

Generative AI can’t be considered “a tool” because a tool is something you can control, while AI you’re fighting against it to get what you want, it’s like you’re the tool AI is using to be able to get somewhere, not the other way around

Illo of the Day by @Made_ByAri about how organizations, amid digitalization, AI, and information overload, need structured strategies to turn technology and data into effective decision-making.

This proves a point I've been trying to make throughout 2025 - that AI companies & Musk's companies have made their fictional billions from "selling the story" of tech optimism.
It's a huge fiction & the market has foolishly treated it like "facts about the future".

Generative AI not only relies on scraping high quality copyrighted works it also relies on data curation to reformat, augment or label the data at scale.
That requires a lot of human labor which AI companies are exploiting with potential human rights violation.

Here's a wild thought, raise the funds or don't create the book. Saying it's okay because you wouldn't have paid illustrators anyway is circular reasoning used to justify using exploitative technology. It's the same justification that's used for stealing music and movies.

Sam Altman's tweets are hilarious when you reimagine him saying these things out loud in his prison cell.

Self aggrandizing nonsense, you're not magically ending child illiteracy because you made a children's book with AI, how self important and egoistical are you?

My thoughts: LLMs are very useful for a very limited range of use cases. They are deceptively marketed & only apparently useful in the majority of applications in which they are currently deployed. In many of these applications, they are apt to have catastrophic repercussions.

Good first effort. Now try: "Passion, I'm going to grab you by your fucking tail."

Every country should "give Meta 72 hours to remove all AI chatbots that simulate children and engage in sexually charged conversations with users" by punishment of law.
Wake up UK.
🚨 BREAKING: Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office gave Meta 72 HOURS to remove all AI chatbots that simulate children and engage in sexually charged conversations with users (!). Every single country should be doing the same:
The Attorney General's Office is acting following a lawsuit filed by the Brazilian Secretariat of Social Communication, which mentions Meta's leaked document deeming sexually charged conversations with children 'acceptable' (I'm adding my recent newsletter on the topic below).
According to Brazil's extrajudicial notice sent to Meta:
"Such chatbots have the potential to reach an increasingly wider audience on digital platforms, especially on Meta's social media channels, exponentially increasing the risk of minors coming into contact with sexually suggestive and potentially criminal material. This situation poses a concrete risk to the psychological integrity of children and adolescents, in addition to causing institutional harm and hindering the effective exercise of the right to full protection [for children and adolescents] provided for in Article 227 of the Federal Constitution."
The document also states that the type of content generated by the AI chatbots violates Meta's own Community Standards, and that:
"The situation does not constitute mere misuse of technology, but rather a concrete and systemic threat to the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents, requiring a swift, coordinated, and effective response from the appropriate agencies, with a view to holding those involved accountable, immediately removing the content, and implementing technological and regulatory barriers to prevent the repetition of these practices."
Now, Meta has 72 hours to:
a) Make unavailable chatbots that use childish language to propagate sexual content;
b) Clarify what measures are being adopted within the scope of Meta AI's use, including those integrated with Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, to ensure that children and adolescents do not access sexual/erotic content.
Well done, Brazil.
Now, every country's authority should do the same.
It's about time to hold AI companies accountable, increase oversight and enforcement efforts, and strengthen AI governance efforts.

My conspiracy theory that I kind of believe is that refusing to use AI is part of staying human.
Dreams and voice and thoughts and choices are what make you a person - why would you hand that over to machines.

No gonna lie, I'm the biggest Apple hater for very very good reasons, but their last research paper explaining why they weren't interested in pursuing LLMs seems more and more like its gonna be correct.

Have you used an AI generation tool that wasn't engineered using other people's work? How did it go? What was the quality of the output?
It's understandable that you like the idea of using other people's labor without permission or credit or compensation.
It's fun. And exciting. And cheap. And you get to process their hard work with some software and pretend you made it!
Good for you.
It’s not Guillermo’s fault, they’re being lied to and are in a bubble. They can’t see what we see, they can’t possibly because you’d need to be in it, doing it, living it to understand the true nature between an artist and their medium, the tools they use, which is all AI is…
I admire him and his work so much, but I look forward to making him and all the others eat their words in Venice in two weeks. LFG! 🔥🎥 I’m on a mission for us to shut all the haters the f^$k up.
- Filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro discusses art and AI at Comic Con: “Personality, knowledge, and emotion are the three things that need to exist [in art] — and I’m sorry, they don’t come from a fucking app.”
Guess he thinks the people creating with AI were assimilated and lost all emotion, thoughts, a brain, and any sense of being human when they pressed buttons and made words make images move. 🤦♂️🤣
When I see this from people I admire it just makes me dig in even more and do even more to absolutely eviscerate their thinking.

It's interesting that Artists have been able to call BS on generative AI apps since pretty well day one of them starting to gain popularity. Even more interesting was how unified artists have been in their opposition & criticisms for the most part.
Artist Solidarity ✊️
