Quickest way to lose respect as an artist from your peers is to take someone elses artwork & claim you "fixed" it Criticize art fine, but trying to look good at the expense of others creations is the worst kind of business Also learn what art direction & creative decisions are.

What do you call someone who makes a 1:30:00 video about a field they aren't part of, expects you to watch & agree, gets called out by an industry pro in a 30:00 vid, makes a 3:00:00 rebutal without address core arguments, stages a debate & refuses to have the pro on the debate?

If you're an aspiring artist working to get into film, tv, comics or games try not to let noise around layoffs, work conditions or AI scare you away. The industry has problems, the economy is struggling, but there's still so many pushing to create a better environment. 1/3

The creative part of art is not tedious work & I'm tired of tech people claiming it is. Artists don't want a machine that is going to illustrate or create their models for them, come up with ideas for them & take their artistic voice & choices away from them.

When I see headlines like this, all I can think of is how ghoulishly disrespectful it is that these people think so low of our expertise & what we bring to their company that they have to do "tests" & "experiments" to see if they need us. It's not cute, it's offensive.

If you're an art student, the best thing you can do is focus on learning your fundamentals and trying to find your artistic voice. Artists are usually hired based on their artistic abilities and knowledge not because they are good at using a software, that's always been the case.

There's a deep entitlement & unilateral relationship in expecting artists to work for days, months, years to create art only for others to deem it free content for AI products & users to take & use in their own financial gain. Train AI on your own content or properly licensed it

If you're both in favor of copyrighting AI output for your own benefit while simultaniously being against copyright and hoping to dismantle it for those currently protected by it, then your intentions are not the advancement, evolution, democratization of art. It's self interest.

Lots to unpack here. 1. The issues isn't just artistic expression, but the tools used are unethical, they are trained off of unlicensed artistic labor. Kind of implies you're okay with tech companies exploiting artists work. Many of your students are fuel for the machine 1/3

Remember, it's not your responsibility to recognize if a trained machine spits out something infringing. All the AI companies try to shift the blame on to you the user instead of taking responsibility and not training on data that hasn't been licensed or consented to.

A common thing in art is that most artists who end up making it as pros, were not the child prodigy's you hear of. Many of that type end up giving up on art. They often end up getting surpassed by dumb asses like me who sucked at art but didn't know how to quit trying to improve.
