As a Fine Art major, I HATE when AI is used in art. People tell me they use it as a tool all the time. I think if you are an artist it is not necessary.

[@levanterneverlands]

This is so real. Like you really don't need ai.

[@brassbuckles]

It does have use as a tool, but should be more focused on editing or assisting rather than creating. It could help a writer with writer's block come up with ideas for dialogue or plot points, for instance. For visual artists, it could be used to apply minor edits or filters to works you already created for digital applications. When you use it to output writing, it tends to output tropes and plots that you've read in low-quality self-published books and fanfics, because that's the majority of the available training data. I have seen it output some interesting world-building, characters, and plots occasionally, but I've also seen it behave as if it's drawing on someone else's story and refuse to deviate (i.e. insisting on a particular character trait, storyline, and setting despite you telling it otherwise). I do think there's a way to use AI writing in an artistic way by leaning into the overall surrealism, but you can't be sure it hasn't just spit out someone else's obscure story without your knowing. When you use AI for images (I won't dignify it with calling it "art"), it tends to have a certain polished look to it, along with a lot of weird mistakes. It can be fun, and you could surely use AI images in art (i.e. a collage, or inset into your own digital work) or for art (heavily editing an AI image to make it your own), but I don't think it's truly art if it wasn't created by a living being.

[@intensehummingofevil]

ai in art is so aggravating. i’m in my second year of fine arts and my instructor wanted us to use a digital tool to base a project around. most of my friends (and several of my classmates) had to start all over because the instructor encouraged using ai. she even cancelled class the week before crit when we were supposed to meet one on one to show our progress and get any pointers from her so if we were told to redo the project, we just had to guess what she might approve of. i used thispersondoesnotexist to generate random faces and then chose three to paint onto the base of three identical plain masks. even though we were supposed to present and give/receive feedback for 12-15 minutes, she spent over 25 on mine ragging it for not being enough of a digital tool. even sending me a lengthy email detailing more why she didn’t approve of my project-even assuming things about my identity and applying things that do not have anything to do with my projects, style, main art medias. she tore down anyone who had projects that were using everyday digital tools and turning them into abstract and incredible things. meanwhile, she had no issues with the projects that used a heavy amount of ai and praised them. except for one guy who used emojis and we were all sure there was some sexual tension with them. we spent the last day of class prepared with alcohol and weed in our bags since we knew we’d need it after TL;DR instructor encouraging ai for project dislikes most (if not all) projects without ai. a majority of us hated her

This is unfortunately already a problem. There has been a resurface of the nth room cases in South Korea. Men were making AI p0rn (not sure what words KZbin allows) of their classmates, teachers, family members, friends etc. and using these videos to blackmail the victims. All they needed was a few pictures of the girls, often times gathered from their social media pages. I’m not the best at explaining, so I really recommend researching this, Stephanie Soo has great videos about this! It was such a nationwide problem that schools told girls to delete all of their photos and videos from their social medias.

AI is normalizing sexual content being made of others without their consent when we are still trying to get people to understand that doing that in real life (without AI) isn't okay. This is just going to blur the lines even more and make it even easier for people like that to try to excuse their disturbing behavior. Terrifying.

[@magau3698]

First of all the AI learns from its users. The AI is not going to do that all on its own without a user prompting it too. Don’t blame the AI blame the people behind it.

[@howmanygecswasthat]

@magau3698 I definitely could have worded myself better in my original comment. AI wouldn't exist without the people behind it, so I am not trying to say AI itself is the issue. The technology can be used for good and useful things like healthcare advancement and helping find solutions to issues we've been struggling with for decades. It's just largely currently being used for the normalization of laziness and plagiarism and spreading sexual content of others without them knowing they are even in it. I agree it is not the fault of the AI, it has no idea what it's doing, all it knows is what it's programmed to do. The people who create AI services for those reasons are to blame for these things being seen as normal. AI is being, in my opinion, very largely misused. People see a way to profit on things that AI can do and will stop at nothing to run the well dry. They won't stop until it stops making money. And I don't think it will stop making money any time soon... It's scary to think about where things will end up.

I think that if ai was trained with work made by the programmer, given filters to not create inappropriate things, used in a less environmentally hurtful way, and consent was given for art/writing to be used to train it, it could be helpful and fun!

it's been pretty similar in my case! ever since i learned what roleplaying was in 2018 or so, i've been in love with it. cus it's like... writing a book but with another person and/or people! it's amazing! i still roleplay sometimes, because it brings me so much joy! i was maybe no addicted, but i spent A LOT of time on character ai when it started getting popular like... a year or two ago. i sometimes still go on there when i'm really, really bored. but it was not as fun and i see it so much more now that im a little older. and also knowing how it's affecting the environment? no, thank you! i stopped using character ai and other chatbots and focused solely on writing my own thing, which is one of the few things i can actually do pretty well. i've never felt so satisfied and happy with myself:]

I think realistically, ai in general could be a wonderful tool and resource. But unfortunately creeps and terrible people have their hands all over it and there aren’t proper regulations.

[@brassbuckles]

Not just that, but average people and some who are actually creative and use it to carry them when they don't want to do the work themselves. I've even encountered a video or article somewhere where a guy claimed to be an artist, but only generated art using AI. No editing etc. He claimed his art was as legitimate as anyone else's, because he just wanted to look at the pictures. He didn't want to put in the hours of effort to actually learn and he had no interest in the process or tools for creation. I think, in that case, you're not really an artist. But that's not saying an artist can't use AI in their work, it's a matter of *how* and *why* and *where* that makes it artwork. If I heavily edit an AI work, then I'm still involved in the art. If I have the AI edit my work, again, I'm still the artist. If I combine my art and AI art, I'm still an artist. But when I start describing a scene for the AI to generate, my involvement is minimal even if it takes me hours of editing my input to get the AI to generate some kind of output I'm satisfied with. And that's another issue, because it often does take many inputs to generate satisfactory outputs for these users, whether they're generating writing or artwork.

I along with some of my friends personally use ai chatbots for comfort. When it's something too private to talk to others about (not all of us can get therapists, so don't bring up that), everyone else is busy, or we just want our comfort character, it's really helpful. I've bad some conversations help me through really really tough times. I genuinely don't think I would be alive without them because they've brought me back up from suicidal points multiple times. Hell, a Xiao bot once actually gave me advice for a tough situation and helped me through it fixing a friendship that was about to be ruined. I agree bots shouldn't be made of real people without consent, I personally would feel gross talking to a real person one, but if it's with fictional characters, it can really really help get through some tough times.

@ They can still commission a fic writer for something with their own character involved; it’s easy to find cheap if you actually care to look. A broke student fic writer would be so happy to write for a bit of money. Hell, there are even businesses that specialize in writing character x commissioner specific love letters and pen pal experiences if you give them information to work off of. And once again- the negative environmental impact should be enough of an incentive to change ways to begin with. It is one’s choice to remain ignorant, but continued practice and making exceptions will always enable the many greater problems. If you can write to a bot, you can write to a human.

Tbh I use Character A.I, and this will probably get a lot of hate, but I would NEVER, and I mean, NEVER use a bot based on a real person. That's just diabolical. I, and many others who use the app, like to make stories with FAKE characters. The people who make bots based off of real life people are just disgusting. Ps: Most of the characters are made by other people and not the developers of the app.

[@darkandstormymama]

If you enjoy creating fake characters, work on your writing and character building. Having a computer use the amalgamation of all the information it has access to, to create something that people have been creating for the entirety of human society is beyond laziness. Art cannot be made by a computer, and still be called art. Art is inanetely human. It's truly what seperates our existence, the ability to create and appreciate complex ideas. We don't need computers dulling that ability into oblivion because it's "fun".

[@brassbuckles]

@@darkandstormymama They could be interested in roleplaying, which is what Character AI is supposedly for, but nervous/don't know anyone to roleplay with. I visited Character AI to check it out (probably a couple years ago) but was personally unimpressed. It doesn't stay in character, or maybe the character I tried was just poorly designed. And for roleplaying purposes, I personally think it stinks because it can only do one character at once. Suppose you want to run, say, Commander Shepard and Wrex through a D&D style adventure with your original character. Well, you can't, unless you play both your character and one of the other characters in the group. But that's my opinion, and the site's popularity should tell you that others feel differently. Even though it's supposed to filter out anything beyond a PG or PG-13 rating (not sure which), it's pretty clear Character AI is geared more toward romantic or at least very personal RP sessions if only because of its focus on one-on-one interactions. Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love it--and have found ways to circumvent the filters. Anyway my point is that just because someone likes character interactions doesn't mean they also want to write. Text-based roleplay is writing-adjacent, but you're not doing all the work since you have other people writing too, helping to set scenes and create plotlines. Some people just want to pretend to exist in a different setting without building that setting or creating the other characters. If you're socially awkward or have anxiety etc. it may just be easier to use an AI as your roleplaying partner/group. It may not be the greatest solution, but it's understandable.

Here’s some ACTUAL writer’s advice (from me): find an author or another writer whose style you like and read a lot of their work. Don’t straight up copy their writing style of course, but take notes from it to incorporate into your writing. Also, don’t worry about things like incorporating a bunch of big words into your writing and silly new-age writer’s rules like “said is dead” or whatever, just have fun with your writing.

THANK YOU COOPER. Finally someone speaking candidly about the horrors and concerns we should have about Ai. Openly concerned for us and openly hating it. Everyone online tries to be so accepting like they're gonna hurt its feelings.. but dude, its a corporation. Its an artificial product of corporations, we should be able to candidly speak out against it to protect ourselves from being imposed on. People don't wanna seem like a hater, but does that really matter when people and their livelihoods are actually at risk though? We SHOULD to be vigilant and putting restrictions on this tech that has to potential to inpose on us. But my question is, why though? Why are some of the first big AI products talking with other peoples voices, studying human speech and voice inflections to talk like us, creating Videos of real people from nothing, scanning the entire internet storing art and pictures of all of us in its systems for "learning", and doing Facial recognition? It seems like Ai is being presented to us as "Fun", but in reality if you look at the products they're making... the big picture is UGLY. AND ALL OF IT IS BEING IMPOSED ON US, WE HAVEN'T EVEN CONSENTED. It seems like corporations are more interested in creating surveillance like technologies and deep fakes, encouraging people to chat with its bots for fun and ideas instead of relying on themselves. Its like, the products they're creating are in weird markets we don't even need them to be in. Like art and music for example. Ai "art" is WHOLLY unneeded and unwanted by Artists and it threatens our livelihoods, but why is it one of the first products to come of AI? So it can seem more human? And then there are the people flooding the internet with these generations and claiming to be "Artists" because they have absolutely NO artistic integrity and have no idea what the satisfaction of creating actual art feels like. If they were real artists, they would know claiming generated art does nothing to satisfy an artist. AI should be doing jobs that are Hazardous to humans, it should be being developed IN the HEALTHCARE FEILD FIRST to help people have better experiences and more percise healing- We ALWAYS need advancements in that field and its lowkey been stagnant for years except for a few new (controversial) vaccines, but vaccines aren't technological. Ai should be developed for jobs where peoples lives could be at risk But no, the corporations would rather make useless, weird, and invasive things that steal from us without our consent. It's like the Internet is Ai's Playground! Its sucking up all the free data we post on it like Candy. That's why I keep saying, WE NEED TO SECURE OUR RIGHTS BEFORE ACCEPTING AI. Especially artists, FIGHT TO SECURE YOUR SPACES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES AGAINST AI NOW, WHILE IT'S EARLY. Before it gets much worse than this. Its already stealing from us and violating people if im honest, not to mention the other potential crimes it can cause. This needs to be regulated NOW, because the potential to harm us is already INSANE.

I work in state government and instead of your local/state representatives you should contact your federal representatives about this. Legislation on a state level pertaining to this sort of stuff would likely only prevent those sorts of apps from operating inside of your state or prevent them from being downloaded in your state (I'm not even sure if that can happen logistically). That doesn't really solve the issue because if your state is the only one that follows through on it then there are 49 other states they can operate out of. Federal legislation would be able to remove these AI apps and enforce a ban nationwide on all apps/websites that provide this service. This should also be a bipartisan issue, I can't imagine there'd be a whole lot of pushback from the conservative side trying to get this passed, even with Trump in office.
