I made it because i don’t think Disney sells it anyway. Missed opportunity fr. Super simplified Twisted Wonderland logo. Might do a more complicated version on a nicer shirt…

On AI Art: a perspective from computer engineer/artist

With all the discourse about AI art going on right now, I thought I’d add my perspective to the mix. But the TL:DR is that some AI art hurts artists who provided - albeit unknowingly and/or unwillingly - the datasets that allow the AI to generate “art”.

I’ll try to keep this untechnical so that I get the point across well enough.

In my senior year of college, I took a class called Sensor Processing for Autonomous Vehicles in which we discussed some of the AI learning that allows autonomous vehicles (also called self-driving cars) to identify and respond to what they “see” via a number of sensors - including radar, video cameras, and infrared. They could be seeing the lines in the road, road signs, people, or any number of things. AI or machine learning allows the brains behind the car to determine what the object is and respond accordingly. The brains being a computer hosted either in the car or remotely on a super computer.

Now you might be wondering, “How does the car know what a person looks like?” The answer is that some of these AI learn the same way that babies do. When you’re a baby, someone points to a cat and says “This is a cat. This is what a cat looks like.” Then they point to other slightly different looking cats and repeat, “Those are also cats.” Certain machine learning algorithms learn similarly using what is called a dataset. This dataset can consist of millions of images that are then initially labeled by humans. This allows the machine to start off with the correct data to then learn from these images what a cat or human or stop sign looks like. After this initial processing of the dataset, the AI can recognize, with some level of accuracy, a cat.

Without this dataset, the algorithm is basically useless because a computer is not going to inherently know what a cat looks like. Similarly, how can an AI art program know what its art should look like without taking “inspiration” from artists on the internet?

In relation to AI art, this dataset is any artist’s Instagram or Tumblr or TikTok or whatever is readily available online. And here is where the first ethical dilemma arises. Typically, using an artist’s work without permission is something that can get you banned from social media. In this way, unless the programmers behind the AI art applications have asked for permission to use artists’ art as their dataset, this can be viewed as art theft. Based on the discourse online, permission was neither requested nor given.

To be cynical for a moment, putting any art on the internet opens the possibility for that art to be stolen. The void claims as it sees fit. Big corporations like Disney can monitor and rectify such thefts since they have the time, money, and manpower. Most, if not all, artists online do not. Putting anything out there without a watermark absolutely marring the piece is some acceptance of risk. For the artists who depend on likes, views, commissions, and the ilk for their income, that’s not an option. They spend hours upon hours creating art to post so they can generate income. (Or if you’re small time like me, you just generate some likes but that’s still quite nice too.)

As an artist (or at least someone who likes and does art), I never want to see someone claiming my work as their own. It’s a terrible feeling. In relation to one’s pride as an artist, it is also infuriating to see AI “artists” not saying that their art is computer generated. Here I’m talking about the people who use apps made by programmers to generate their images. I think the person who coded and trained an AI to generate images should be credited. That’s no small feat. However, I’m entirely unimpressed by the people who added an image to an app or website and clicked a generate button. Anyone can do that. In my personal opinion, art is made, not generated. And that is the second ethnical issue - misrepresentation on the internet. *sarcasm* How shocking. How unprecedented. *sarcasm* Same story, different narrator.

Even with all this said, I don’t consider AI art inherently evil. In some ways its intriguing from a technical and artistic perspective. However, its the ethics around how these programs acquired their datasets and how people are using it that causes it to be controversial. Surprise, surprise. People are the problem more so than the machines. Machines don’t know right or wrong. They know only what we tell them. And what have we learned here?

figuring out some designs for a Danny Phantom sweatshirt. i might get the dvd of the complete series. i have to. it was such a cool show. but yeah anyway these are the ideas so far in gif format. i have a glow in the dark htv and i’ll get glow in the dark fabric to line the hoodie and string for the pulley part. will update my tumble with the progress if i actually get around to doing one of these designs. anyone got a fave design?

pardon the state of my docs. so glad boot chains are catching on. i made these like forever ago and forgot to post them. Chenya from Twisted Wonderland wears something similar but with purple boots and gold/bronze chains. thanks to @alchemivich for the game assets so that we can see the full outfits. very helpful for cosplay.

they say “THIS WAY” and “THAT WAY”

Prelude to a Costume. Yeah sorta more inspired than a direct costume but here’s the start of my Delirium cosplay for Halloween. Maybe i’ll be bold enough to wear it in public. It’ll make more sense with the wig, i promise😅

Musical Instrument Head Canons for the D.A.M.N Bois + Gavin + Caelum + Freelancer

I’ve had waaaay too much caffeine and these are the resulting shower thoughts. I tried to think of what instrument I could reasonably see each person playing. I suppose Freelancer would be an OC in this case? Idk. Anyway:

Lasko - piano; I feel like he has piano hands and maybe his mom forced him to take lessons as a kid; could also see him learning the ocarina because he played Zelda and just thought it was cool, also air elemental + wind instrument just makes sense

Damien - violin or maybe cello; a refined instrument just seems to suit him and takes soooo much dedication which is very on brand; could also see him being a piano kid

Huxley - guitar/bass and drums; he’s a chill dude and I could 100% see him having a guitar case covered in stickers - of course there’s his lucky number on there too lol - could also see him being the type of guy to bring his drumsticks everywhere and get bored and just start playing on tables and stuff; would drive Damien insane if he was trying to study ;)

Gavin - saxophone - yes because Careless Whisper; if the freelancer ever asks why the sax they can expect endless innuendos about blowing - on the sax of course you pervs XD; but for real I could see him knowing a few different instruments cause he’s had the time to learn and maybe was involved with musicians in the past - could also see him playing some decidedly un-sexy instruments to confuse Freelancer - think banjo or something :D

Caelum - the kazoo; freelancer got him one and he absolutely loves it, it’s pink of course; Gavin was maybe slightly less thrilled XD

Freelancer - boom whackers; I can’t picture them knowing an even remotely normal instrument; they have totally used psychokinesis to play and probably posted on the empowered version of YouTube; they’ve def asked their friends to play too - they’re meant to be played with friends and that seems to be a very Freelancer thing, so yeah :)

Bonus:

Kody - flute b!tch was the first thought but nah he probably is that guy who says he’d probably be great at whatever he learned but never actually makes the effort to learn insert eye roll

Might do the other redacted characters, probs not hehe

Do these makes sense? I feel like they do. Decided to do some color blots for some of the characters from the freelancer listener series of Redacted ASMR. Might do some more later on.
