We’re at the point now where people are calling being anti-LLMs as “outrage” as a convenient way to characterise it as unreasonable, and it’s annoying. I’m not outraged, I’m repulsed. I don’t want your stolen shit. It’s gross. You are a fucking loser to me

“Here’s your meal, full of delicious lead” I don’t want it. No thank you. “Well, what about if we just use lead in the cooking process? You can’t even taste the lead in the final meal” I’m leaving. “You’re being childish. Soon everyone will be cooking with lead” have you fucking listened to yourself

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

I'm saying this as someone who actually thought that generative models *might* be useful for ideation when they came up for the first time a few years back: fuck right off.
The only thing it's good at is ripping the soul out of your artists work.
Also "placeholder text"... use lorem ipsum ffs!

The act of gathering reference is such a deeper thing than just a fucking collage.
It's research, learning, assessing and building on your knowledge base.
Even google image search is dog shit for this, crack a fucking book.
Learning names, history, influences.

Every artist you know has a fucking reference both in their head and saved in books, objects, photo folders, etc. The sausage isn’t made like that and the experience of being able to take those references and make them into something that makes sense is kind of the whole thing, that’s communication

Yeah and now I’ve also read what other employees have said and it paints a pretty fucking depressing picture, no matter how much a rich dude insists “no no guys see this version of the shitty thing you hate will be okay because you won’t see it”
