Venting Can't believe my vent art was put thru AI...

[AngelTear]

So I posted my art here for the first time ever and someone put one of my pictures through and ai and I've never felt more offended. HOW DARE YOU USE MY VENT ART, art that is personal TO ME through a fucking AI machine. I'm not impressed, I'm not happy, I'm offended and angry that you would desecrate my photo like that. I deleted the thread (I'm sure I deleted it, I'm not totally sure since I'm still new here.) If you're wondering what the image was it was of a sad seal I drew and they put it through and AI machine to make another seal hug the sad seal...I REFUSE TO POST ANY OF MY ARTWORK HERE AGAIN.

But goddamn now I really can't trust shit. Fuck people. This only further cements things for me that no one is shit.

this would probably make a great learning opportunity for them, idk, maybe they are just being malicious, but do you think maybe they're just ignorant/stupid and have no idea? especially old people who have no idea what ai is. i would be pissed too and wouldn't have the patience to explain, so i get ur anger. i hope someone else explains it to them so they know better next time, at least.

I don't know, I don't know how old they are but considering they can use it I would guess they are younger rather than older. I deleted the thread with such haste that I didn't get their name, I was just that pissed. I don't have the energy to explain, tbh I feel like it should be well known enough that AI generated images are highly frowned upon by everyone who isn't into generative AI- but that's just me. I hope they either get the memo or just fuck off to AI land.

Same has happened to me twice unfortunately, but I let them know I didn't like it! They were actually very understanding, deleted the AI image and apologised. I don't think these people do it out of bad intent or just aren't aware of the truth about the use of AI.

It's good to ask them not to, and explain why it's not a good thing. I know it's really upsetting but sometimes they genuinely didn't know.

Maybe this is worth putting forward as a forum suggestion? To have a ground rule that makes it crystal clear that by default you should assume you don't have the artist's permission to put their personal art through AI

Yes, I think that would be a good thing
