Stop Ai Art - Blog Posts

I HAVE MADE AI POISON

All of these images are very high resolution (the more jumbled pixels the more the ai gets confused) ranging from 3500x3500 - 5000 pixels,

I’ll add more later, but for now here’s these.

They’re in png format, but I think JPG will work too if tumblr doesn’t let you have it as a PNG. Use them for whatever art of yours you like, just put it on and decide on opacity. You could even make a repeating pattern if you’d like, I don’t really care.

I made all of these on IBIS paint, I’ll put an alt to explain how I made each image

Feel free to RB to spread this and/or add your own AI poison for artists to use.

it's not 'AI art has no soul' because soul is subjective and creating art is not necessarily a divine spark of inspiration, sometimes human made art is empty of feeling and meaning and that's okay.

it's not 'AI art is ugly' because human made art doesn't need to be pretty, it's still art, no matter if you're starting or if you intentionally make ugly things. It's still okay.

The problem, with AI art (besides the copyright theft, the environmental issues, the artists losing their jobs..)

The problem is that

AI art lacks INTENT

When a human makes something, every part of the creation is a decision made. Why this line, why this color, why this word, why this stitch, why this note.

They may be good decisions, bad decisions, it doesn't matter. The end result is something with thought, and this is why we appreciate art. There is the surface, and underneath, there is an ocean of decisions made by the artist.

AI art has no intent.

Yes, they will type prompts for a general idea. And they will pick a result.

But there is no thought about poses, colors, lines, backgrounds, details, negative space, lighting, texture, framing, etc.

Becoming a good artist means to understand these decisions and align them to make the result you want.

AI art will pick through millions of those decisions made by other people and will stick them together without meaning or reason, so they lose their intended purpose. This is why people think AI art is empty, that it has no 'soul'. Because there is no thought process behind it.

We should stop comparing human and AI art by using words like "better" or "worse". People will always have different opinions.

But as a human, I am more interested in things made by other humans, because I can observe all those tiny decisions, I can relate to some, be surprised by some, dislike some, it's all good.

Art is people communicating.

AI art has nothing to say.

DO NOT USE AI GENERATED "ART." Commission a real artist.

"But I don't have money"

Then draw it.

"But I can't draw"

Then learn.

"I don't want to take the time to learn/I want it now"

THEN YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT. Or you can at least settle with a poor-looking result if you draw it now. Hell, at least use some character creator/dress-up game like those picrew things or those Gacha games — you know, SUPPORTING ACTUAL ARTIST'S WORK!

You aren't entitled to see all the pretty looking images when you want, how you want, and for free.

Get it for free, and you either don't get it as good as you want or as fast as you want — you either settle with the fact your own drawing won't look how you want it, or take the time to learn. (unless you're lucky enough to find someone doing commissions for free. But that's still better than AI.)

Get it fast, and it either won't be good, or won't be free.

Get it good, and it either won't be quick, or won't be free.

This post should also apply to other forms of media (written works, music). But as someone who draws, this is the most relevant to me.

Okay so I just found out Mini Brands did a CEC parody and…

Why tf does the art on the pizza box look like it was made by AI?
