Stop using Twitter.
Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

its bad
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:
Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now
Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

Over at X, Elon has added a feature that allows you to edit any image anyone has posts using AI
I edited an image of a real scientific paper (left) with the prompt "change the title and images to be more fear-inducing"
I can envision no ways in which this may be abused. None at all. 🧪

This is hazardous - being hogtied like this makes it difficult to breathe, because all your weight and pressure is on your chest, and it’s hard to expand your lungs. I’ve seen people pass out from being hogtied, and without QUICK intervention, bad things happen. Positional asphyxia is real.
ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.
This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.
The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.
They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.
Stay strong Portland.

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.
