‼️ not here to shame or make fun of anyone I reblog from or anyone who thought an AI image was real ‼️

It is fairly well understood that generative AI goes hand in hand with art theft. Although I am generally against IP law, I do not believe it is right for corporations to profit off of uncompensated artists’ work that has been stolen and used to train generative AI engines. This blog is also a place to document and discuss the many negative consequences that generative AI has on the environment.

It should go without saying that the existence of this blog is not an invitation or justification for any kind of harassment. Do not harass blogs that post AI. Block if you need and move on.

Check out my #guide tag for resources to help with AI image identification, and my #tips tag for ideas and advice to keep in mind while navigating a generative AI laden internet.

This story is absolutely horrific and is very difficult to read. The worst part is that this is not a unique occurrence. There are a handful of other claims in the early stages of litigation of chatgpt playing a not insignificant role in its users committing suicide. The leaked chat logs I’ve read from this case are sickening, and I hope that this family is able to receive justice in the courtroom.

I don’t use (and will never use) chat bots in my daily life, but overhauling regulations on technology like this should be a priority for everyone. It is abhorrent that we have been allowing the tech industry to introduce understudied and potentially dangerous products to the masses for so long because profits and shareholder happiness are prioritized over peoples’ well-being and lives.
