Rule number 8 now covers ANY content made by AI, whether it's images, videos, story or anything else not just art specifically. The most important change is that the content partially made by AI or enhanced by AI is also prohibited.
Does anyone have any recommendations for artists who would take commissions for drawing OCs that are in the Zootopia universe? I've been playing around with AI image generation recently for doing that, though not for anything I'd ever post, just for my own use.
(Yes, I know that using AI at all makes me a horrible human being.)
All the AI Hate is essentially the same thing as raging about power tools, and reciting "John Henry VS the Steam Drill".
Anyone using AI for artwork is tinkering with tools that are difficult to use and produce inconsistent results at best, after you slog through 10,000 tries, including body horror results.
AI writing is repetitive illogical nonsense.
AI coding...not a risk I would take, since it turns out a "black box" solution you didn't create and don't understand.
I don't see why there is so much hate, other than raving paranoid fear that actual artists will disappear.
Considering that AI produced content cannot be copyrighted in the US...there really is no commercial viability for it.
I am thinking in 20 or whatever years people will look back and find their AI fears were just plain silly.
Maybe after considerable regulation? The real thing is the tremendous lack of consent that generative AI is insanely guilty on. Should have the option as to whether or not they want their stuff being fed into the generative AI algorithm. But that's not the case. AI companies just grab whatever the fuck they want, and plop it in there. Sometimes they hide consent agreements in their disclaimers, but thats pretty dirty. And platforms like Twitter openly feed posted art into Grok (in this case) and thats a very very difficult rock and a hard place, because artists definitely don't want to feed the AI with their art, but at the same time Twitter is pretty much a necessary platform for most commission artists. Also, generative AI just legitimately robs so much authenticity from the online experience, though i suppose there never was much to begin with lol
It certainly shouldn't be. Still dying, but slowly. Still, many furry artists have their entire portfolio and a vast roster of followers already established from the Pre-Elon days and Bluesky just isn't quite there yet.
I've used generative AI to write small bits of code for me, usually Javascript or Python. It's not anything that I couldn't have written myself, and certainly nothing I don't understand. It was mostly avoiding drudgery.
What I've used it more for is interpreting and fixing errors- "I got this overly long error message from this system, suggest a fix". It's REALLY good at that.
And mostly in the last few days, I've been playing around with generating images of an OC that I had the idea for after seeing Z2. Nothing I ever intended to post anywhere, just for my own benefit.
It seems like in so many places now, using generative AI at all is seen as a moral failing.
A few scared loud voices call out to "protect artists"...then everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
(Like a few cowards who posted messages in reply to me, then quickly deleted them, so I would get harassing emails, but the reply is off reddit.)
Personally...I think the biggest danger is using AI as a crutch.
I've read who knows how many takes, and heard others of people using AI for school projects, work, legal pleadings...and screw themselves over when it's discovered due to shoddy work of an AI.
My 17 year old was doing the same thing with Google for math until we took the phone while he was doing homework/make up work.
If the first Zootopia came out today, instead of making and selling pawpsicles, Nick and Finnick could sit in the back of Finnick's van with laptops and put prompts into AI programs all day. Because that's all AI is—a hustle.
In general, if I know an image to be AI on other websites, I won't comment on it or favorite it without good reason. It's not real art.

Yeah fuck AI.

No, AI use does not make you horrible.
It's a tool. Not a very effective tool.

I would argue that Twitter is a necessary platform for exactly nobody at this point.

I think a lot of it is an echo chamber.

Rely too much and you never learn.
I take commissions! Here is some of my art for reference (I’ve posted this to the subreddit recently)

good
:(
Lawsey I can't wait for the AI bubble to pop and for the whole edifice to burn.
