"Prompt Thieves in the Al Art Community"
downwithdan.bsky.social Dan of the Year @downwithdan.bsky.social · 18h
AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce
mzsibyl_® › •: Al Threads 3d Tired of the Prompt Thieves in the Al art community. Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work. It's not about gatekeeping, it's about giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2 OscarAl @Artedeingenio X.com Never do this: Passing off someone else's work as your own. This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I'm pretty sure that person knows it. To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post. Not cool subscribe @Artedeingenio I don't know what you think, but this seems a bit unfel to me. My original post with the Saori Kido Athena prompt has 4,000 impressions, while @dvorahfr's post with an image created with my prompt has 30,000. As for not quoting me as the author, I'm not saying anything, because she has apologised. I would like to understand that it was an unintentional mistake, although I think I'm well enough known around here to use a prompt of mine without knowing it's mine. If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens. But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom. Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool. Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.

TIL where the infamous "I GUESS" reaction image came from and. I can't bear this burden alone
Panel 1: a man peers through blinds using binoculars 2: He turns to his friend, shoving the binoculars at him, saying, "okay, look." 3: His friend peers out, too. 4. Through the binoculars, we can make out a white cat sitting on a park bench. It appears to be thoughtfully consuming a sandwich, using its tail. 5: Same panel really, but friend says, "WHAT." 6: Main character says, "Do you SEE that? What the FUCK is that?!" He seems very perturbed. His friend is still looking thru the blinds. 7: Friend turns, puzzled. "It's a... cat taking a lunch break." 8, 9: Infamous crossed arms followed by throwing his arms up in the air, replying, "I GUESS" 10: Both peer through the blinds. "But from WHAT. Where does it WORK?" 11: Cat retreating, as seen through the binoculars... 12: ...Returning to a building labeled CAT STRIP CLUB 13: Zoom back on both men, staring in shock 14: They exchange a disturbed look 15: Yet mysteriously, here they are in the cat strip club in a double-sized panel. There are seductive cats EVERYWHERE. There are pole-dancing cats. Both men sit in a bench seat, looking seriously disturbed. 16: Friend has a cat on his lap; he's looking down. 17. The cat sinuously turns-- as cats do-- but the context makes this EXTREMELY creepy 18: Main character: I WANT TO GO HOME. Underneath, some tumblr comment from marquisdegilbert: I went looking for the comic that the reaction image is from and I am not disappointed

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

“Im not allowed to earn any money” is something only billionaires should be forced to say. This system is broken, and no I don’t mean it’s not working as intended, it is. I mean this system has been co-opted and twisted to benefit those at the top. It is up to us to change it. 2026 will be the start

A screenshot of a post from Tumblr user petr1kov. "watching twin peaks is hard because sometimes you think 'these characters could use some therapy'. and then you remember that some of them did seek out professional help but their only option was this" Attached is a promotional photo of Dr. Jacoby from Twin Peaks, a grinning man with a greying beard and curly hair wearing red and blue tinted glasses, a long sleeve hawaiian shirt, and a matching hat that he's tipping to the viewer.
