Raw LLM Responses

By copying AI art you are legitimizing the use of generative AI in your process. This is exactly what AI bros want you to do. To validate AI as a tool and form of reference. This isn’t stealing, this is giving them what they want. This same exact thing has happened recently on Twitter with artists redrawing an AI image in what they believed to be a form of protest, but the “creator” of the original AI image used this trend as an example of AI being good and thanked the artists for all their fan art. The implications of this are not good. Any new artists and any young people growing up will not be able to distinguish what is real from what isn’t, and since they won’t have that knowledge, any references they use, they will copy their mistakes too, however minor. This kind of video only encourages them to do so. Please do not use AI as a reference tool, it is only furthering the dead internet theory. By using AI as a tool, you are integrating it into your process, allowing for it to make decisions on composition, pose, idea, colors. Exactly what AI bros want for you to do so that they are able to substantiate their claims of Gen AI being beneficial by using videos like this, and artists who use it, as proof. It is vital that they cannot use this as proof, especially now that AI discussions are being taken into legal spaces and courts. Anything worth fighting for is going to be hard and there’s no room to be fair-weather about this
