I'd rather my art die out completely than have it be part of meta AI. I deleted my art pages on fb and instagram.
Here's to hoping the fediverse can keep me afloat.
Welcome to the cause! I would love to follow you on Pixelfed.art. Lovely painting!
Thank you so much! :D
I joined Pixelfed.art last January, just made my first post.
What's your profile on pixelfed? I'd like to follow you
Isn't it heartbreaking what mass art theft on the internet has done to artists? I was recently thinking "maybe I should try posting art online again" and then I remembered why I deleted it all in the first place: AI.
Its really tough. I just cut off my avenue for 60% of my commissions and information for my local events.
Fuck yeah, good job!
Thank you so much!
As long as your art is available online somewhere, the AI scrapers are probably going to find it and eat it. But congrats on making it slightly more difficult for them.
True, but at least I'm not spoonfeeding it to 'em anymore ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
