Ethical AI usage has plenty of room for the “wow!” and “this is so fun!” factor, among other personal uses. I just think that right now, the dataset acquisition is reprehensible, the enrichment of the company owners at the expense of artists is the absolute worst of capitalist amorality, and AI art is not capable of providing a net positive to culture until these issues are resolved.
There is not really any ethical use of AI to generate art if you aren’t using your own datasets and running it on your computer.
With big companies like Midjourney, you will be using datasets acquired without consent. You will also be providing more data and money to help the business do better theft.
I totally get why it’s fun. It feels like visualizing dreams. Referencing things that are familiar in this surreal ways. I love that some folks seem to be having this cool community experience with it, sharing things and learning. It must feel enriching.
I wish that the system that your joy enriches were not *so terrible*. They do not deserve you.
My ire is always aimed at the system, the moneybags, not the people who are navigating the same moral complexities I am and often reaching different but equally valid conclusions.
That said, I am asking friends of mine who do it for fun to consider if this is the fun you have to do? There are *so many* fun artistic pursuits. Right now this one is on the forefront of everyone’s minds because it’s novel, but…we don’t have to do it.
We don’t have to help the people hurting artists because we are having fun with it.
my spyxfamily comics have been reposted an awful lot of times

in order to not succumb to sex negative conservatism you have to accept that people will get off to things that are upsetting to you. and you cannot assume anything about what they have or have not experienced, what they do or do not believe, and how they act based solely on what gets them off. even if it's extremely confusing and disturbing to you. there are people who have only ever had heterosexual vanilla sex in missionary with the lights off, who actively contribute to more real world harm than your average fetish artist. kink is not a reliable source of information on someone's moral standing. it just feels good to think that way.
Ok here’s my fully fledged Kazui theory: (Tw// Suicide)
Kazui was married to a woman, he wasn’t entirely happy with it but they still cared about each other. He met his mistress at a bar & had an affair. I don’t think it was his intention to, the green apple (a metaphor of his temptation to have the affair) sneaks up on him throughout the MV, meaning he didn’t know what was happening until to late.
His wife finds out & they argue about it. You can see her looking out the window to the balcony, implying that she’s thinking of suicide (or that it’s something that she’s been thinking about for a while).
She jumps off, which Kazui witnesses. In his Undercover memories you can see a tall building next to the road, (their apartment) where Kazui is crouching next to her body. It also fits his murder reenactment. He is nursing his victim with a horrified expression.
Kazui didn’t want her to die, shown by his guilt & surprised expression when he watches her jump. I also find it interesting that his wife doesn’t have a face but his mistress does, (she has eyelashes) eyes are the window to the soul, & he states that he wants to forget all together, which would fit with her being eye-less.
(More images in the reblogs)
The shattered porcelain apple is representing his wife/their relationship. It was very fragile but it was sweet & good, compared to the temptation of the mistress & it’s sour taste.
I don’t know what verdict I would give him. Cheating is horrible, but he does seem remorseful & I can’t see what good voting him guilty would do. Hope you enjoyed.
