All AI has done for YouTube is create mind melting garbage to trick kids & the elderly, added worthless features no one asked for, & allowed deepfake videos of creators doing anything from crime to porn. I hate that there’s enough money behind it to make them act like it’s good.

@Wendigoon8 Dude only sees the metrics he wants. Money. It’s making the internet a very unfun place

@PixelArtJourney That’s what i did

Am I gonna leave Twitter? No, but I will clean up who I follow so I see only art🥰

@gaon387 what does lose mean?

To all the artists who don't lose to AI

@FernShawArt Ya sure they will just follow the rules then

Reminder for all European artists : The EU passed a law that forces Twitter to no longer gather EU member's informations to train AI This means that if you're part of the EU, YOU CAN JUST OPT OUT OF THIS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO DELET YOUR ACCOUNT.

@OSporin I wana see what that spiked hand do

and more hands still

@InkJetApe I wouldn’t know, I usually play older games 😆

@PixelArtJourney @CalamariPop To me, it doesn’t sound like there’s anything different in the fact that the AI is there. It is really neither here nor there. It’s nothing new. Yes there’s a lot of slop because people are trying to make quick cash. Same ol

@CalamariPop Yeah like I said, narcissists. Perfectly described

Got an ad involving generating AI images of yourself and made me wonder who its targeting? Narcissists? And who even thinks gen AI itself is marketable to the average person. No, only way for them is to market something else and hide the fact that you are using AI 😖🤢Disgusting

@Vincentgraphart Do you reference yoga poses?

Goodwin, the mad monk

@Zazabeos Yes ! Thanks for asking. He came from a monk temple in a distant secluded land. The facial scars came when creatures attacked the temple. Monks like Mar here have adopted combat to protect peace. He is now traveling with the main character, a paladin.

@InkJetApe Cool guy! Does he have a story?

Some concept art. I truly feel like I'm building confidence. I think I'm finished with this one. Still a few more to do, but I'm feeling pretty good about it. My dark fantasy is coming to life. #HorrorArt #conceptart #ComicArt

@dragonace1555 this is a brief summary of some stuff about this. It's complicated and ultimately there isn't much to be done about it. And fully understanding how the technology actually works might yield that it's not as horrid as people currently say.

Opt-outs help with some future crawlers, but they don’t undo how AI training actually worked. Most image datasets were built via automated scraping of public web content at massive scale, years before opt-outs existed. Once data is in a trained model, it can’t be reliably removed. Robots.txt and noai tags are voluntary and inconsistently respected. Private or gated posts are the only reliable way to avoid scraping.

I saw a post that suggested not posting Timelapse’s of artwork because it could be used to train A.I. How accurate would this be? I like to post my Timelapse’s so that people can see the process I used and to show that I made my art myself. Should I stop posting Timelapse’s or keep posting them?

@Lashyarts I wanna see how she shoots while flying.

Ome of my favorite character i made . . . Broom sniper

@dr_smey Interesting, is it an artificial moon?

@PixelArtJourney I mostly go by what captures me the most. I know I won’t be able to see everything.

And before anyone says its not a bad habit, it absolutely is. If you are trying improve your own art and stay inspired, you are missing a great opportunity to be mindful and think for a bit while appreciating an artwork that caught your interest

As an artist I have a bad habit of scrolling past artworks I love. "Wow this is so great!" and then two seconds later Im scrolling. Why is it so hard to take 5 minutes and observe? Maybe ask why I like it, think about the artist's decisions and learn something from it

@ElioUbaldi Perhaps Hands forward more to imply a wall, rather than it just got busted being weird in the woods. Fun idea though.

@ordnance_IV Earlier I noticed i had done something similar earlier with a previous drawing and didn’t realize it.

@InkJetApe So many eyes!

A Bodhisattva of Poison. A being consumed by desire. This state is an inversion of who they sought to be. What terrible act would lead to this fate? Meeting one is worse than death. Hands cling to spirit. Body and mind mangled, a soul stuck in stagnation.
