Gen AI is slowly producing the Library of Babel -- in which all books exist, but it is mostly an overwhelming plethora of nonsensical books, so that finding the useful becomes hopeless due to lack of searchability. #NoAI



Just visited the nearby university library and was fascinated to learn that

students are bombarding it with requests for references that do not

exist--the product of ChatGPT and its ilk. "It's a goddam nuisance," the

librarian said. "They don't believe it's all made up."

AI 'artists' aren't being 'gatekept' from art in the same way a thief isn't being 'gatekept' from your wallet, or billionaires aren't being 'gatekept' from everyone's labor value.

People don't hate Al art. They hate losing the
monopoly on gatekeeping.

There are countless easily accessible tools, and they cost far less than chatGPT and image generators. Don't participate in the 20 trillion dollar, electricity wasting, environment & society wrecking, plagiarism software ponzi scheme that is gen AI to pretend you're an artist using stolen labor.

As someone said, there is no barrier.

In fact, here's a document I made of accessible and free digital tools and apps for digital drawing ranging from programs, brushes and more.  

Stop using AI. There's no excuse. Just practice.

If the UK and US were true democracies they'd fulfill the near-unanimous opposition to the Gen-AI plagiarism software scam. But it seems it's profit over people, and all the proverbial 'marbles' are in the $20 trillion spicy autocomplete Torment Nexus bubble.

There's a lot more AI Backlash where that came from!

The Gen-AI calculator can actually get math problems wrong, takes forever, and uses a thousand times more energy than the original. It all adds up to a giant waste & a scam, just like AI in general. #NoAI

@silverspookgames These people will spend $500 on chatgpt credits when a low end drawing tablet costs $60 & a little time to install the drivers for it. When they say real artists are gatekeeping art, they're trying to blame someone else for their want for instant gratification & unwillingness to put in the effort to learn. When they say real artists are gatekeeping art, they're admitting to being afraid of learning. Wasting $500 & still not getting the picture you want after hours is less scary than picking up a pencil & a piece of paper during their lunch break at work.

@silverspookgames It's possible to argue that "person of the year" usualy depicts the most infuential person and not necessary a good one. E.g. they sure do love put dictators on cover.
On the other hand, the practice itself is tasteless and based on "Great man theory" + depiction of technocrates as "honest workers" is definitely an attempt to white-wash their image
