"Protest Starter Pack: Creators and Allies unite, stand up and fight!

★ All major AI generators are trained on stolen content. That’s unethical and unfair.
★ They’re built to deskill and replace human creators. With their own work.
★ AI users support theft, data laundering and broligarchy. Don’t feed the bullies!
★ It’s not “just” artists. They steal your data as well, and will replace your job too.
★ We need consent, compensation and transparency. It’s called Opt-In.
★ AI enables fraud & destroys the web with false facts. Stop the slop!
★ If it’s in the training data, AI reproduces bias, stereotypes and prejudice.
★ Care about the climate? Stop AI wasting the resources of our planet!
★ It is not “time to adapt or die”. It is time to fight – or adapt and die.
★ So let’s unite, petition, protect, inform, explain and call out! Together, we are strong.
★ Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI! Or at least not supporting it.

Artists fight against generative AI, which – unlike technical or scientific AI – is trained on copyrighted and private data without consent or compensation, and used commercially, in unfair competition with our own work."

Hace un par de meses, @milamiceli investigadora en IA con los institutos @DAIR y @Weizenbaum_Institut se puso en contacto con nosotros para que participemos con una pieza invitada en el marco del proyecto Data Workers’ Inquiry (DWI) que ella dirige.

Desarrollamos una pieza audiovisual para poner en foco la situación de los trabajadores de las disciplinas artísticas a partir de la irrupción de la IA generativa en nuestros campos 🔥

Data Workers‘ Inquiry 2024 DAIR Institute

Generative AI is NOT as innocent and harmless as its marketing campaign claims

Data Work beyond data work

Invited Pieces
Artists, translators, writers, nurses, and internet users produce data for AI without compensation. As part of the Data Workers‘ Inquiry, workers collectives describe how they organize to fight power concentration and exploitation in the tech industry.

Art and "Generative AI" are NOT Equal
By Arte es Ética

https://data-workers.org/arte-es-etica/

Arte es Ética is a non-profit collective, which emerged at the end of 2022 as a result of the irruption of generative AI in our artistic fields and is integrated by creative professionals and independent visual artists (illustrators, designers, photographers, animators, painters, 3D modelers, among others) whose main objective is to achieve an ethical regulation of generative AI in Latin America and Spain. In addition, we work jointly with associations of other artistic disciplines, unions and cultural spaces in Latin America. Our main work is focused on informing about how generative AI affects the creative sector and bringing this information to the political representatives of the different Spanish-speaking countries.

I honestly think the biggest issue with being #antiaiart is that the companies providing these pre-trained models have intentionally been *both* rebranding "machine learning" as "AI" *and* branding their specific tools as "AI". When someone says "I hate AI" or "I use AI in creating my art," you actually can't tell if they're referring to "machine learning" *or* if they're referring to a specific set of tools.

I think because of this, the most important thing for #createdontscrape activists to do is to unify behind a memorable and repeatable phrase, word, or acronym which describes "generative machine learning models which have been trained on media without the consent of the copyright holders of that media."

The problem with just saying "AI art is bad" is that "AI is just math, man!" and there are plenty of totally reasonable ways to use neural networks in art.

These companies know this and have intentionally created confusion to prevent proper discussion around their regulation.

Is it just me, or are only artists speaking out against Meta for feeding all our photos and posts into their genAI?

Where is everyone else? Aren’t people concerned that all their pics of them, their families, their kids will be fed into meta’s genAI too?

youtube.com/watch?si=SzqJsq_bM a fantastic interview with Prof. Ben Zhao (one of the creators of glaze), John Lam (An artist behind #CreateDontScrape & Invincible) and a few others! i'd reccomend sharing this with your parents & widely, as it gives a very easy to understand explaination of the subject and other glaring issues surrounding the topic!

We're going to have serious conversations about the large-scale IP theft in certain unfair generative models and the gradations and contexts of fairness. This is not that conversation and you'd be wasting time to engage in it beyond calling it what it is: farcical and unserious given the fire engulfing the creator community.

Ich freue mich sehr, dass mein Statement “Nein zu KI-generierten Bildern)” von Dezember (mittlerweile allerdings zigmal überarbeitet) mittlerweile als Lehrmaterial für den Ethikunterricht an einer Berliner Schule benutzt wird!

Herzlichen Dank an Matthias fürs Aufarbeiten und Zeigen! <3

Fellow creatives: Meta, Facebook, Threads, & Instagram are now using your content for generative AI. If you don't want your work being scraped into Meta's AI database, they are at least appearing to give the option to opt-out:

facebook.com/help/contact/1266

Also, the above URL only worked for me on desktop. The country field on mobile is busted, and remained busted even when I requested the desktop version. In case it doesn't work for you either... that's why.

Happy ! I'm an fan artist from Australia who's been floating around the interwebs for quite sometime & have been drawing since late primary school (20+ years). I love , occasionally dabble in digital and draw my Hybrid things a lot 😅 I love doing character art, especially male ones & have a thing for mid century futuristic homes of the 60s & 70s.

Dislike AI art. The effort to learn the process of creation is worth it, trust me on this
