Sabine Hossenfelder, in a new video put out that the more people use Artificial Intelligence to generate new content, the more Artificial Intelligence will keep getting fed its own content the less varied content will keep coming out. Basically, it's like watching something huff its own farts for inspiration. Nowadays, it takes a lot of trainers to train AI so that it keeps producing different results. Yet, in reality, the more people get taught how to use AI, the more they flood the different areas with automated content. The easier it is to stand out.

I don't know if saying this would make anyone happy or sad. My favorite AI thing had been the cocaine birds or playing with the AI RPG's to make messed-up games. The other thing I keep in mind is that art movements go through cycles. Human-made art had its deconstruction phase. Sometimes, it's still in a deconstruction phase. AI Art develops faster than a kid learning how to walk. I often wonder what an AI Art deconstruction is going to look like. Will people be nostalgic for the nightmare fuel videos that look uncannily off? Or will it be an AI generated version of watching someone do some bizarre thingy in an art gallery? Janky art just for janky art's sake until the artist bologna bards some deep hidden message for . . . Whatever it is.
I can't be sure. Even though I went to art school, had years in computer tech experience, and also have been a bit of a self-taught artist since before art school. I see AI as a thing. I ask it dumb questions, and it's very easy to gaslight. In fact, you take character prompts from one generator, stick it in another generator, and don't even have to think. It's the most smooth brained tool I ever played with.
Another thing I learned about the AI's is you can mine them for information to make your own stuff. I used the AI to make a recipe for Fanta flavored sugar cookies. Then, I fixed the recipe to my liking. You can even mine them for the templates the AI trainers use. Just ask it questions.
What I really don't like about AI is how lazy it all gets after a bit. It also reveals more information about their customer base than it does about useful knowledge. Novel AI has been used for some really weird kinks for the romantically lonely and derogatorily horny. When that AI breaks it has a small chance of turning what you ask of it into a sex scene. This has been used for a couple joke books called The Butt Steak Deal and Robomancer: Stupid Romances Written by an Idiot. You can check them out here. They are funny books but rated only for ages eighteen and up. Click at your own peril.

Though another legal issue that might come out of these AI generators is the convergent thinking will kind of kill the AI's ability to make sure everyone gets something unique or it will advise exactly as how it's been taught. New York did a customer service AI to handle incoming callers, and it's encouraged small businesses to do crimes. Styxhexenhammer666 did a good video on it.

New York Times is also suing ChatGPT for using its articals as training. I have New York Times Article here.

They are having a copyright battle enfringement. The thing is AI can't get sued because anything it creates can't get sued for. The only people who can get sued are the trainers and the makers. Which leads me to another thing.
. . . AI Art has paywalls. They’ll probably get higher. It's no different then an Adobe Creative Suites rental fee and there are many, many different kinds of art generators.
Some companies are also using AI to translate Manga since some localizers started bragging about sneaking their personal, hamfisted politics into the subs and dubs of different products. The companies kind of allow this as long as it's on the down low. However, the AI's in the long run help cut out a lot of work that would usually harm someone's physical health or eyesight. Eyestrain and sitting in a chair all day can harm a back but tech is usually trained in the office before it gets sent out into the field. This is why it usually ends up replacing jobs like writing or art.
On the other hand, a well prepared artist is a weaponized artist. I'm not a fan of the ethical problems of AI Art. Hence, I market my human-made art instead. When the market gets flooded by everything that looks the same. It helps to market something that is unique. The only time I've seen AI become useful has been helping with the data bits and if it's cut off from any outside sources. On the other end, creating your own art without AI is faster. It's more involved but easier to work with because you're not waiting for a generated object. You're making your own thing that's easier to defend because you own the intellectual property that is defended as best as can be by the pictures in that country.
That's all I have. I wrote this journal for eductational purposes. Things change a lot. Sometimes change sucks. It helps to have a little knowledge on hand to navigate the weird and the wonderful.
Helpful TipsThis journal is a collection of tips and tricks to know copying vs stealing vs referencing vs inspiration
and how to report an underage deviant, and how to reverse image search something when it's been stolen and you dont know who made it!
When someone's ocs are stolen, it's 75% likely that it's because SOMEONE shared their art to pinterest/instagram/whatever. Whether to be 'adopted' out to people or just shared all over that horrid website.
Here's an example;
This oc is stolen a lot
And what do you know, it's spread ALL OVER pinterest.
The reason it's stolen a lot is because pinterest is a website meant for sharing and people will take shit off of there because there's no artist' rules or anything besides 'sources' but barely ANYONE checks those.
Here's the original btw- (you'll notice it's only linked once in the above picture, and it is NOT the first link that pops up if you search the image :/ thanks google
Meh?If you're not interesting in reading this sort of junk, believe me I wouldn't want to either, feel free to ignore this journal, same old, same oldThis particular case study took some effort to stop tracing but . . . still steals stuff on Deviantart and I later found out that in order to take down any stolen thing off of Tumblr you have to have them reported three times but one hundred dcma takedown notices can destroy a whole website. A poor content creator got her original music flushed down the lou along with her Tumblr when this happened and with it her portfolio. (www.dailydot.com/parsec/tumblr…) However this happened when the DCMA first got put out there. With the one fanart that went to my Tumblr and stuff that got posted all over reddit I put my online handle somewhere or at least my signature so that no matter where it gets blogged it will link back to me unless someone works really hard to be lazy but yeah.
this is what happens when I leave her alone I don't think she's even trying this time, but since she's on a different site she thinks she can get away with it I guess?
forgot one
I'm mature lol besides I'm not even stealing since I'm the one that made this design in the first place right?...eh, I don't even care at this point
one more, sorry I'm being petty, it's really therapeutic XD
