Really sick of AI being forced on us from above at every turn
It's on billboards, it's destroying the Internet, it's creeping into our job descriptions, it's all with a side of Be Happy Don't Question It Don't Mention The Ethics - I am tired.

An actual ad I'm sat opposite on a jubilee line underground train.
For fuck's sake.

Photo of a London tube train ad showing an AI-generated female face in front of an earth-like purple-lit planet. Text reads "Stop Hiring Humans
The Era of *AI Employees* Is Here
Artisan - artisan.co"

What the fuck, academia.edu??
Is there no opt-out for this? I'm not a first author on this but I do NOT want my papers fed into this bullshit. Any help..?

Screenshot of an email from Academia.edi, title is 'An AI created a podcast of your paper' (it's about integrins and tumour blood vessels) and embedded is an audio file over 4min 45seconds long, with a big blue Listen to Podcast button below

Stop asking genAI pointless questions to laugh at how bad it is

It's so wasteful, but more than that, it tells the companies that made them 'look! Users!' - and that's used to defend the automated theft and plagiarism. It's used to suggest these things are useful and wanted and worth investing in

Please stop giving them that.

With gen AI, I don't see a picture or here the audio. All I can see or hear is a collection of stolen goods. Gen AI corporations are not producing art, they are producing products entirely constructed from stolen works. They are nothing more than the digital equivalent of a vehicle chop shop. They are in fact normalized crime syndicates protected by people with power for the sake of profit and Influence.

Honestly people using genAI to make protest signs hurts my soul

It's like when you'd see ten people in a day all wearing the same thing from GAP or whatever

There is so little creativity, humanity, feeling behind slop.
It all fucking looks the same. Because you ground up the world's and history's art and made it into a gruel.

Everyone can write words on a piece of fucking card. Don't use the democratising art BS here, please.
Just v disappointing.

Art forms don't exist in a hierarchy of validity or worthiness

Writing is not better than visual art
Music is not superior to either

If you use #genAI to promote your art, which *necessarily* is stealing art from others?
You are a traitor, I don't care if that sounds dramatic.
Where is the solidarity? Where is the drive for justice? As an artist, is that not a part of your values?

Seriously wtf people. I know and love some slop fans and I don't. Fking. Get it.

Tell the UK government that creative work matters, that art should not be exploited just because some rich techbros started doing so - safeguard livelihoods.

If you claim to be any kind of feminist, artist or environmentalist and yet are also pro-genAI? You're fundamentally unserious.

The tools run on theft, stolen human creative output monetised to the extreme, no compensation, no consent.

Feeding the misinfo milieu that's polluting the Internet & our lives. This is hugely disempowering for so many.
They are leading companies to cheap out and avoid hiring artists while using energy and water-guzzling tools to make slop.

I'm going to this bc I love Milton, his work and his talks, and Gresham is a good outfit.
But I am VERY pissed that they are using genAI slop to advertise.
I don't know who's behind it and it's disappointing either way - no one art form is above another. Musicians shouldn't be shitting on illustrators, or other visual artists, and vice versa. Writing is also art.

Stop. Free-to-use images exist. Don't be so fking lazy.

Unfollowing people uncritically using/praising genAI
Don't need that in my TL. Theft and waste, that's all I'm seeing.

(yes I mean for writing, images etc)

Author?
Don't use fking genAI for your covers.

Writing is not a higher art than illustration. Don't dupe artists by using tools that steal their work & take work from them.

Pay someone to make you some cover art. Can't afford? Use free-to-use art, make your own, or just use text on a colour background. So many options that aren't #generativeAI.

It's all theft. You don't need to contribute to the thing that will kill your art, too, if we let it.

I won't boost your genAI crap. No matter how much I agree with its point or if it's hilarious. Just no.

Why current generative AI is bad news

As an individual who enjoys making art and writing, as well as the work of various creative professions, I cannot condone the use of generative AI in its current form.

People using ChatGPT for fucking recipes and meal planning

NO
WHY
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS

Also lol at 'tech companies are working on becoming greener'

Not they're fucking not. Not meaningfully.
GenAI is a pointless drain on this planet's resources and you're contributing to that.
I hate this timeline.
