I know a lot of artists are antsy about art theft right now (myself included, I literally just had a terrible nightmare about fighting the physical manifestation of AI, The Mitchells vs The Machines style…). I can’t claim that any of these things can prevent it. But here’s a few things I’ve found useful:

Opening a free account on Pixsy.com. This website does a decent job at letting me know when my images have been reposted. 99% of the time, the results are just Tumblr-copying zombie websites that just repost everything that is already here. But, it’s sensitive enough that it alerted me when my old college posted my work. They were harmlessly using my stuff as an example of alumni work- but I was glad to be in the know, AND they had mistakenly credited my deadname, so I was able to reach out and correct that. I would have never have seen it otherwise. The website has subscription options, but you can ignore them and still use the monitoring services it provides.

Reverse image searching my most widely shared pieces on haveibeentrained.com. This website checks to see if your work has been fed to AI.

Looking up legal takedown letters and referencing them to draft a generic letter for my own use. This takes a bit of the stress off what is already a stressful and often time-consuming ordeal. Taking time to craft a Very Scary, Legally Threatening, Yet Coldly Professional Memo has been worth it.

Remaining careful about what and how I post online. My living depends on sharing my work, so I have to post it. I’ve learned through trial and error how to post lower resolution images that still look good, but aren’t easily used for anything beyond the intended post, and of course, strategic watermarking. Never, ever post full res, print quality stuff for the general public. Half the time it ends up looking unflattering on social media anyways, cause the files get crunched for being large. I try to downsize my images, while set to bicubic smoothening, to head that off. Look up the optimal image resolutions and proportions for individual sites before posting your web versions. For some work, cropping the piece, or posting chunks of detail shots instead of a full view, is a more protective measure.

Look out for other artists! Reach out when in doubt. Don’t steal from others. Learn the difference between theft, and a study/master copy/fanart/inspiration. Don’t assume that all posted art has the same intended purpose as a “how to” instructional like 5 Minute Crafts. Ask permission. Artists are often helpful and supportive towards people who want to study their work! And, the best tip-offs I’ve received have all been from other people who were watching my back. Thank you to everybody who keeps an eye out for my work, and who have been thoughtful enough to reach out to me when they see theft happening 💖 y’all are the real MVPs. All we have is each other.

in case there was ever any doubt, i’m not okay with AI generating tools being built on the stolen works of artists or anyone else whose images or writing have been crunched into a training data set without consent.

#fuck ai #ai images #ai art #midjourney #stable diffusion #artificial art #it feels so distinctly anti-human #i have trouble putting the full range of my disgust into words #no one deserves to have their work stolen for a machine to crunch up and crap out pixel sludge to steal their job #fuck every part of that system

what's actually wrong with 'AI'

it's become impossible to ignore the discourse around so-called 'AI'. but while the bulk of the discourse is saturated with nonsense such as, i wanted to pool some resources to get a good sense of what this technology actually is, its limitations and its broad consequences.

what is 'AI'

the best essay to learn about what i mentioned above is On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? this essay cost two of its collaborators to be fired from Google. it frames what large-language models are, what they can and cannot do and the actual risks they entail: not some 'super-intelligence' that we keep hearing about but concrete dangers: from climate, the quality of the training data and biases - both from the training data and from us, the users.

'AI' champions the facade of non-human involvement. but the truth is that this is a myth that serves employers by underpaying the hidden workers, denying them labor rights and social benefits - as well as hyping-up their product. the effects on workers are not only economic but detrimental to their health - both mental and physical.

No to AI Generated Images | A Digital History of Creative Resistance

Special thanks to Abigail Larson for sharing this image from Art Station.

I know a lot of folks have been exploring Lensa + similar artificial intelligence generators recently . . . some of you reading this might even have designed your own self-portraits + digital slide shows bursting with color . . . for a small fee of course~

But it is important that we RECOGNIZE what that fee is funding.

So many ah-mazing artists + creatives have already shared powerful words + images on the impacts of these colonizing companies. I'd encourage all of you to learn more at Concept Art Association.

Artists are NOT thieves who steal the tools + techniques of their fellow artists, many who've spent YEARS crafting their skillsets. Artists are conjurers + dreamers who manifest the magic images that color our world and imaginations.

When we talk about historical theives who steal art + profit off the exploited labor + knowledge, my mind conjures up one word: COLONIZER.

In order to cultivate restorative justice, we must first RECOGNIZE the problem + demand REDISTRIBUTION through self-determination, economic recompense + full protections under the law.

Those of you who used Lensa trusting that this innovation was both creative and egalitarian, your work doesn't stop at liking (or disliking) this post. Spend time to read, listen + lift up the voices of artists on the front lines of pushing for creative and legal representation. Share information + resources within your community. Rather than flooding artists DMs with apologies + crocodile tears, research ways you can support their work.
