Every time Photoshop asks me if I want to use AI to do something, I die a little inside.

Adobe, I have been editing pictures a long time. I know how I like to do things. Go away.

The future is you

There are ways of controlling the new technology—but first we have to stop mythologizing it.

Unless "AI" ["AI" should always be written in quotes, as the 'i' element is a misnomer; algorithms aren't intelligent] is switched off, it may be necessary to switch off all Internet. For else, "AI" may feed upon itself while less and less humans are invited to, or able to, re-program the "AI" algorithms, and may turn all Internet into a police state. When "AI" feeds on itself, its wierd features get accentuated.

The use by tech companies of words which for centuries have been reserved for human beings (and some animals), is not inevitable and can be challenged eg by UNESCO by giving the words cultural status.
"AI" = algorithms with pattern matching and linguistics
"train AI" = "entrain data"
"AI reasoning" = deductive algorithms
"AI chat" = "algorithmic chat"
"video by AI" = "algorithmically made video"
"AI photo" = "algorithmically made photo"
"AI advise" = "algorithmic advise".

The Art Of Poison-Pilling Music Files

Benn Jordan, a musician and entrepreneur is looking to market a method of encoding music with inaudible content that current AI training models process incorrectly rendering the music unusable by AI.
Sounds maybe a little too good to be true in the long run, but might be a tool to fight back against IP theft.

In this new era of imposition of artificiality on the world of human-made genuine art and actual photography, each artist and photographer and designer must educate himself/herself in detecting the tackiness of algorithms messing about with authentic photography and/or actual art. "AI"=tacky

Ras la casquette des trend tik tok faites à l'IA. Après les portraits façon Ghibli, nous voilà submergés par la nouvelle trend "starter pack"... toujours faite avec une IA.
Non seulement l'IA est un désastre écologique, mais c'est aussi un désastre économique pour les professions artistiques (entre autres).
Les illustrateur.ices se rebiffent et ont fait leur propre starter pack avec leurs petites mains et leur cerveau.

A découvrir sous le hastag #starterpacknoai

Science fiction writer Ted Chiang in his now-already classic essay in The New Yorker as to why AI cannot make art has got a reverent following in people who actually are artists--not just to protect their own profession, but because they _know_ that art is about consciousness, feeling, mindfulness, decision, not just the permutation of form by blind rules. Algorithms are nice--I myself make plenty of them every month--but an algorithm is nothing but thoughtless mindless action. #antiai

Scammers used OpenAI to flood the web with SEO spam (obviously be on the lookout for this bullshit in any sector you can think of, as tons of people will be doing it, especially now)

Microraptor eats A.I and supports artists.

Microraptor, a small theropod in the Dromaeosauridae family of feathered, generally carnivorous theropods, lived in the Cretaceous, more precisely in the Lower Cretaceous. #paleoart #drawing #dinosaur #microraptor #theropods #cretaceous #art #artist #antiai

Ani anty-AI, ani pro-AI nie rozumieją AI, widzą je w czarno-białych barwach, AI to genialne narzędzie (Do nauki i dla początkujących artystów, bo google rzadko ci pomoże wyszukać tego co potrzebujesz do pomocy), niestety, nikt nie widzi potencjału AI w tych sprawach jak pomoc w rysowaniu lub przełamaniu artblocka, wolą je widzieć jako zagrożenie, albo jako łatwy zarobek...

y0 thanks to @seism0saurus's friend @kubikpixel i have a cool project to toss on the pile :

#Anubis: "Anubis weighs the soul of your connection using a sha256 proof-of-work challenge in order to protect upstream resources from scraper bots.

Installing and using this will likely result in your website not being indexed by some search engines. This is considered a feature of Anubis, not a bug."

I know Cloudflare sucks, but this is a good idea and probably the way forward with the AI bs.

"Instead of simply blocking bots, Cloudflare's new system lures them into a 'maze' of realistic-looking but irrelevant pages, wasting the crawler's computing resources. The approach is a notable shift from the standard block-and-defend strategy used by most website protection services. Cloudflare says blocking bots sometimes backfires because it alerts the crawler's operators that they've been detected.

'When we detect unauthorized crawling, rather than blocking the request, we will link to a series of AI-generated pages that are convincing enough to entice a crawler to traverse them,' writes Cloudflare. 'But while real looking, this content is not actually the content of the site we are protecting, so the crawler wastes time and resources.'"

What AI bros don't understand is that artists and writers HAVE TO do art and write. The process IS THE POINT OF DOING IT, not the end result.

We need to take each step to get there, or it means nothing. Art and writing is meditation, escapism, boundless emotions. It is US. A NEED, not a want.

Stealing someone elses finished work to frankenstine it in a machine into something you want without ever having an original thought Is Not It.
