Alright folks, lets have a chitty chat.
FUCK ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES THAT USE GEN AI TO "MAKE" ""FAN"" FICTION AND ""FAN"" ART OR EVEN JUST """"ORIGINAL"""" CONTENT.
First of all, you are NOT a fan if you use Gen AI! REAL art, real FAN content, is made with the joy and love in your heart. Where is the joy in just typing in a prompt? Where is the complete and utter LOVE and YOU, the FAN, feel? It's not there, I'll tell you that.
For the people who desire to make Original content, how in the WORLD can you just type something in and tolerate the SLOPPY and SOULLESS image, or text, before you? There's NO WAY that you can look at it, read it, EXAMINE IT, and feel satisfied with it! There's no way THAT is how you imagined it!
Your Original content is meant to be made with the image in your mind and the love in your heart, not to mention, ORIGINAL!!! AI does NOT make original content! It just takes from what its fed and pukes some of it out.
There was a time, that I went onto Archive Of Our Own, AO3, the glorious site of fanfic, full of fan works filled to the brim with love and appreciation, and do you know what I saw that day?
The last 3 pages covered in texts tagged with "AI-Generated work".
The author themself, said that they "might read it lol".
Does that sound loving to you?
Does that sound caring to you?
Does that sound like they care?
AI DOESN'T EVEN MAKE GOOD CONTENT!!!
IT CAN NOT UNDERSTAND THE CHARACTERS INTIMATELY
IT CAN NOT IMAGINE THEM REACTING TO SCENARIOS
IT CAN NOT POSE THEM WITH CHARACTER AND FEELING.
"Oh, but Kai, disabled people-"
ELIZABETH KINNING, A MOUTH ARTIST WHO LOST THE USE OF HER LIMBS WHO INSPIRED-

ART IS, HAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE ACCESSIBLE.
"Oh, but Kai, I have no artistic talent-"
I have been drawing for my entire life. I have no talent, but I do have skill. You can have skill. Everyone can have skill. People do not just walk this planet being instantly good at it, it takes time, and do you know how I personally spent that time, gathering my skill?
I spent it feeling pride and joy, I felt proud when I realized that my poses have become more dynamic, I felt proud when I realized my perspective has gotten better, I felt proud when I realized that my proportions have gotten better.
Now, I do realize this conversation has been Visual Arts focused, lets talk about writing.
I ALSO write! I wasn't good at it, I'm not the best right now either, BUT I have gotten better, and I haven't been writing an awful lot lately, so I must practice.
Writing can be dificult, you might not be able to spell things, we have SPELL CHECK and BETA READERS and EDITORS. Now you might have noticed that I spelt difficult wrong there, I used spell check to fix it, but you know what I did? I went back to make it WRONG again just to prove a point! I also started the second sentence with "nOW" because I held 'Shift' at the wrong time before correcting it.
Did you have a little laugh at me just then? I hope you did so you could see the beauty in Real, Human mistakes, experience the small joys in everyday life.
Creation is beauty, and you, the people, Create Beauty.
Have a beautiful life, everyone.
