It is not enough just to hate genAI. You do also need to support real artists- buying product, subscribing to their memberships, and most importantly for free by giving rebleets and comments. Outrage is not enough, there also needs to be undeniable support. - ThreadSky

And I know I preach about the free ways you can support your favourite artists to an obnoxious degree but I MEAN it. The metrics do more good than you'd think, and visible support of real artists means so much these days.

Reposted, because good message.

Cynic in me wants to say people are just "happy" with outrage and will change their Facebook PFP to an "Anti-AI" theme. Because that's cheaper than commissioning any of us for fair pay.

But what do I know? Apparently my art is "shockingly annoying." (Actual review)

Remember to ask if your public library and art galleries lend artworks like library books. Mine do!

And maybe also lift up all the disabled artists who have spoken out against AI while their disabilities get used as an excuse as to why the technology is good actually. I'm lucky to have support but a lot of disabled artists need that business flow to stay out of 9-5 jobs that would harm them.

(plus of course the more visibility they've got the harder it is for that bs argument to hold water - I need people to know if you are disabled and were told genAI is the only way you can create you were LIED TO - you have a whole community you can tap for adaptive advice!)

I buy as much and and as often as I can afford, and I reskeet things all the time, it's free!
