#us to use as the thumbnail ref. like. and ofc it depends whatever type of art it is like i said

My problematic trait is that when I see the ai art hashtag, i care about the artwork 100% less. The ai stealing from other artists is a whole conversation, but like I just watched a video about using ai to create thumbnail references for paintings/illustrations and it's so disheartening.. and apparently it's hard for artists to keep up with ai (competitively for views, sales, etc) so they turn to it to help speed their process... but then so much value of art has been lost... isn't it? Specifically in terms of conceptual pieces. Life drawings etc aren't really what I'm thinking abt here. And I've seen people talk about how like, ai isn't going to last long specifically because it "steals" images and would cause problems legally, but if artists are just using it to "do the thinking for them" for the foundational concept and composition it's a different story? Of course people are allowed to do whatever they want but it just feels so disheartening.. I feel it's just caused by the pressure to post and please algorithms etc to be able to actually make a living off of your art. I think ultimately I feel sad that artists are put in this position.

#i realize this is a complicated topic but right now personally i hate it #how many of us consider art as expression? what are we expressing if we get ai to mash a bunch of keywords into an image for #us to use as the thumbnail ref. like. and ofc it depends whatever type of art it is like i said #im doing my best bc i dont want to offend anyone or hurt their feelings o<-< but if im honest i hate it all. genuinely. #artists saying their using it bc they have to adapt #bc they cant keep up otherwise (and in compitition with ai art accounts) its just. this is so sad. i hate that this is where we are heading #i dont dislike anyone for using it im not trying to come off that way. #i dislike that artists are being pushed into a corner like this. its just sad no other word for it lol #anyways no more negative talk sorry i just wanted to rant about that #pls dont lose yourself and your art trying to please social media. try your best to set aside time to create art just for yourself too ;_; #theyre * not their... whateva lol
