Fascinated by what the business case could be for Coca-Cola using generative AI.

Wanted to say Glaze 2.0 is AMAZING.

What took 30 mins+ before, took me THREE MINUTES last night. WITH my other programs still running.

For folks who tried Glaze but haven't been using it due to glazing time, give 2.0 a chance!

I've heard that other folks have had it taking the same time/longer, but the quality is so much better. Your settings will determine the outcome, but it's definitely a huge improvement over the initial release version.

This update was super sexy of the Glaze Project. You can download the updated version from their site HERE!

(You should also use in conjunction with Nightshade!)

#YukiPri rambles #glaze project #glaze #digital art #anti GenAI #protect yourselves! #yeah my Emerie art that i just posted has both #yes it's visible but i'll take it for 3 minutes to Glaze holy shit #Nightshade still took an hour but even just having Glaze be faster makes it so much more accessible to me

it's so funny how people who claim to care about workers' rights sneer at the idea of artists getting paid for drawing ridiculous/absurd ideas

rights for workers until it's time for them to get paid for drawing gay sex cats, then suddenly their jobs should get automated and "who cares, it's just a drawing of cats spelling out gay sex"

#hazy rambles #anti ai art #anti genAI #anti AI #the leftism leaving people's bodies as soon as an artist gets paid for drawing a moai statue giving a ted talk #also gonna kick the hornets nest by saying they sound exactly like swerfs

A Poll Of Your Thoughts On Generative AI

I really don't agree with the use of generative AI in any way, shape or form, but I wanted to create a poll to see just how many people think about it the same way as I do.

If everyone who participates in this poll can share it around, it would be greatly appreciated.

OpenAI released a text to video AI generator tool man…

#and they named it Sora after the Japanese word for sky weebs in tech are the worst people on the planet lol #I could say a lot about how insane it is that the genai wave comes at a time when video and photographic evidence of human rights abuse are #bringing those issues to light #and AI is being used in ways to undermine that reality but I shan’t say more #btw does anyone else harbor the strong suspicion that the Bitcoin and blockchain creator is a white weeaboo fascist using a Japanese pennant #*pen name or is that just me lol #just saying…a guy named Satoshi Nakamoto espousing American anti-federal reserve conspiracy theories that are rooted in antisemitism #as fact has a strong correlation with white supremacy and a lot less w Japanese dude who writes in English js….. #ignore I said any of that teehee

This weeks mood really is getting increasingly tired of seeing platforms become openly hostile to the kinds of people who make the platform successful -n-

#artists have been actively anti genAI for like 2 years at this point now..... #you cant NOT know about that #yet all the main socmed is ALL IN on selling images uploaded to them to these models -n- #its a snowball effect in my mind of just seeing every platform get specifically worse for people who just wanna share their draws.... #and how its slowly become EVERY major platform over the last few years #and everyone talks about going elsewhere but they DONT and now youve just made accounts across all these sites #but theres like no audience there because no one wants to BE the audience... #this isnt even getting into the kinds of people in power being... the worst kind of people to HAVE in power #and they just prove it again and again and again and AGAIN #im tired im so tired #i just wanna have a space to ramble and to put up a draw and for some people to go 'hey nice draw' :(

[reayerambles]

genuinely glad I didn’t participate in a fanzine considering how blasé the organizer is towards genAI and WGA strike.

like if you’re so apathetic towards professionals creative labor/lack of fair wage, ppl fighting for their livelihoods, and the future of the industry to not be run by machines, why the fuck would I want to give my own creativity for free? these are fights for humans, against corporate who don’t view their labor as human or respect their value.

like genuinely, fuck the disparaging of creative labor.

#Might delete later #reaye rants #i thought I was overreacting after their take on genAI #I’m hard anti-ai so I have to remind myself to give some ppl grace on their take on AI #But after finding out their take on the wga strike #Wanted to be part of that fanzine but :/

Other places to post stuff that aren't necessarily Tumblr: Anti-genAI edition.

Cara.app

Has anti-genAI policies baked into their terms. They also have Glaze built into their submissions system should you choose to use it.

Pillowfort.social

Haven't used it much, personally. I'm not going to comment on their fundraising or my outlook on their future or any of that stuff because it's all been discussed to death like five times over and more by now.

The important part here, is that they prohibit the posting and promotion of works using generative AI.

That said, I'm not saying "go here" or "don't go here". I'm not telling you to leave Tumblr entirely. It's up to you to read these places' terms in their entirety and decide what to do for yourself. But I know it sucks to feel like you have nowhere to go because you're being pushed out by the tech companies you rely on, so I hope this helps.

I know that there's a high chance that 'pro GenAI' folk who come on my blog are probably on the wind up, but it will honestly wreck havoc throughout the entertainment industry. But not really for the reason you think.

We're going to see the limits of this technology reached pretty soon, the cost of resources for the CPU/GPUs required, and the cost of energy will spike and this will bleed AI companies dry. Most of them are hemorrhaging money, only propped up by the silicon valley venture capitalists and tech megacorps that have invested in them. They will expect a return at some point and producing 60 seconds of nonsense footage isn't going to turn this into a trillion dollar industry.

Where this hits the entertainment industry, as we've already seen with games industry layoffs, is that there's a whole bunch of generational talent being purged because these companies are swept up in techbro hype.

Making whole teams and studios of talented people redundant and injecting a new work culture tied to GenAI will hit the entertainment industry massively. When the realisation hits that GenAI isn't going to replace human creativity, and there's no cultivated talent in the industry, we'll be hitting the reset button.

I do genuinely wonder what these techbro types will do when we hit 2027 and the quality of games has dipped massively. Or maybe they just don't care.

This Post is GenAI

Hey everyone. Just wanted to warn y'all about a post that's going around being tagged/labeled as "photography," but it's just shitty AI. It looks like this:

If you've reblogged this, please delete it. Generative AI is theft, and in order to create this, OP had to steal from other artists.

There's a few ways to tell, but the easiest way is the anti-gravity stream of water coming out of the faucet. Water goes down.

#generative ai #artificial intelligence #photography #landscape photography #ai bullshit #techbro bullshit

[echoesofdusk]

we should stop using the terms "AI artists" and "prompters" as doing so just gives them legitimacy. instead, we should call them what they are at their core

plagiarists

Actually let me rephrase that. I think when talking about AI tools as someone who is on the left of things generally, who has a vested interest in maintaining labor rights and being broadly anti-corporate, it is super important to realize that a lot of the moral/technological panic around AI , and the claims of what AI can do, are actively started by the people who developed AI tools in order to inflate their perceived value and create a "moment" around them where everything has to suddenly restructure around them. This isn't to say that corporations will not try to make an easy buck off of automation or GenAI–they absolutely will. But this is a common practice, and has been for years. It bothers me a lot when I see people saying things like "We're in the Blade Runner universe!! Computers are replacing our humanity!!" because like...the technology is nowhere NEAR there yet. A huge, huge portion of the AI tech market is nothing more than snake oil around basic things like machine learning and data scraping and tech that's actually been around and slowly evolving for years. Not only that, but the same people who created AI tools are benefitting from this idea that everything will have to now be AI-proof, to the point where the CEO of OpenAI is running a crypto-based identification verification scheme and has created a narrative around this technology in order to create a perceived pressing need for... AI-proof identity verification, and the more people buy into THAT need, the more impressive AI sounds to begin with. It's a closed circuit. So I think it's important to be aggressively realistic about what AI is actually capable of doing on its own, and what stuff is actually just a different flavor of the week but is the same shit corporations like Disney will always try to do in order to cut corners. Does that make sense.

So apparently my phone is tied to google and of course there's google play for android app and also youtube so even if I want to discard google for my anti ai stance I can't

I hate capitalism

I hate being poor

I hate this country not that other countries are any better

Can't even switch to an apple product coz they're making gen ai too

The choice is really limited

Twitch doesn't have genAi right? I mean they have problem with sexual harassment and racism handling but so does YouTube so one at a time

The biggest problem I have with “AI” right now is that it’s seen as this monolith, with genAI models like chatGPT and DALL-E being incredibly overly prevalent to the point where it’s THE representative of an entire area of technology. No matter which side you’re on, when most people talk about AI they mean genAI. In many online leftist spaces especially, “pro-AI” automatically has connotations that imply someone’s stance on the issues surrounding genAI, and specifically openAI both as a company and as the idea of an “AI company”.

And so when people hear the words AI they don’t think of it as what it actually is: an UMBRELLA TERM for a field of computer science that, by definition, “focuses on developing computer systems that display the features we associate with intelligence in human behaviour”. This includes things like reinforcement learning, where instead of a dataset, the computer is being trained in an environment (think robots). As for the variety of AI technologies like Machine Learning (another buzzword and another umbrella term) that operate on datasets, all they do is use statistical techniques to gain information from data. The only new thing is that ML is highly efficient (in terms of time, not resources) at the cost of losing traceability of inbetween layers, where computational techniques have developed to the point that the tradeoff is worthwhile in many applications. At its core, ML isn’t some type of special secret other thing but simply a novel data analysis technique. THE COMPANIES YOU HATE HAVE ALWAYS COLLECTED, STORED, AND USED AS MUCH DATA AS THEY CAN. ML only makes it faster to process them.

So the “issue with AI” in this sense isn’t really an issue with AI at all, but an issue with data collection as a whole. This is important because when people have discussions about ethics and regulation with regards to personal data, it has to do with every single business that leverages data, not just the AI companies.

Additionally, the debate about “AI” in terms of human creativity is really just a debate about genAI (generative AI i.e. AI that comes up with new stuff). In reality, the vast majority of AI applications (and in my personal opinion, the most important/beneficial ones) are NOT generative. Their goal might be categorical identification, or task automation, or risk analysis, or human-computer interaction. And there’s very important ethical discussions to be had about these too! For example, a lot of companies already use AI to scan the files of potential candidates to determine their chances of success. Is that okay? What if it only parsed each candidate’s profile and summarized them, but didn’t evaluate them? Why or why not?

The takeaway is that it’s important to understand what the word “AI” actually means. There’s plenty of awesome AI application examples like folding DNAs, or revealing ancient text, or the bread AI that learned to detect cancer that we all know and love. “AI” should not be controversial, but opt-out data collection should be; “AI” is not unethical, but specific types of AI models can be abused by businesses, just like with any other tool under the sun.

We all know how companies and politicians frequently rely on keeping the masses uneducated, so they can control the spotlight and the narrative. Yet unlike with other topics, most people feel confident in their opinions on AI without even understanding what it is in the first place. This includes the dismissal of AI because of chatGPT’s mistakes or DALL-E’s fingers or whatever - “Everyone who believes in AI technology is stupid or evil and I, someone with common sense, could never be fooled” is the exact same logic utilized by anti-vaxxers and transphobes. Like any other topic, it’s important to actually learn about “AI” before speaking out about it.
