FUCK AI AND SUPPORT REAL ARTISTS We are so cooked. Everyday AI content is eating up more and more market share of our eyes and ears, and it’s now basically indistinguishable from reality. If regulation is not placed SOON around copyright, we are going to loose unfathomable amounts of human creativity. Most developing artists rely on a small project-based work to get their foot in the door in an already gate-kept industry. Being a “starving artist” is looking like it may become less and less attainable without being forced to become “proficient in ai tools”. The pursuit of artistic excellence must be protected at all costs. It is built on hundreds of years of blood, sweat, and tears from uncredited and unpaid artists.
