In a society that's decided that money is final word, be aware of where yours goes and to support what
Yes it sucks, I don't like it either, but pretending it's not a thing does not help!

To any young artists wondering if people will ever stop asking you to work for free in return for exposure:

Just because other people have suffered the same or worse pain doesn't mean your pain is any less for you. Your needs are valid too. 🖤💙😷🥄

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

AI art should just become a footnote in history, ai has its uses in manufacturing processes to do preliminary checks but not to be relied upon.
Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Ethical use looks like ZERO USE of the plagiarism machines that poison people and harm the planet.
They also atrophy your creativity and critical thought. That’s not exaggeration. There are studies. Look them up.
Without using your Ultron bullshit.

We need to stop treating AI as good or bad and start asking better questions. Who benefits? Who is excluded? What does ethical use look like in practice, not just in theory, asks Siobhan Cole in our recent Comment piece 👇 #BookSky

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.
The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind
