I'm so disheartened & disappointed at the casual acceptance of ay-eye. It wouldn't exist if not for thievery and to see it embraced so easily, and without any real pushback or integrity from anyone in power is so very, very depressing. I will continue to resist its moral & ethical wrongness. #FuckAI - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

And so will I.

I have the TN office working on poisoning the images we get from artists so we can do our best to protect their work from being scraped when we post. Team #FuckAI

We've committed ourselves to being anti-AI in our work and every aspect of working with other creative people.

Would you like to be added to the starter pack & feed list I have for indie horror publishers who have confirmed they will not use or accept ay-eye/LLMs?

slothandenvy.com•94 days ago

(and thank you!)

stinasdemons.com•94 days ago

You're welcome! 🤘🏼

slothandenvy.com•94 days ago

absolutely! (we are even putting into contracts: NO AI! And we will not knowingly allow/sell your work to be used to train AI/LLMs (can't control wild ass people in the world, but we will not be making any deals with AI/LLM people and will do our best to protect the creative community).

https://bsky.app/profile/frostzonestories.bsky.social is a small Canadian Press that doesn't take AI stories. I read for them.

stinasdemons.com•88 days ago

Do they have art/illustrations in their magazine or on their cover? If so, I need confirmation that they also don't accept/use generated artwork.

edwardmartiniii.bsky.social•53 days ago

If still possible, yes please!

stinasdemons.com•53 days ago

Sloth & Envy Press was added. If you're asking for yourself, I am not adding individual authors at this time- only publishers with a Bluesky account dedicated to their press, who have published horror & confirmed that they will not accept or use ay-eye words and generated images.

edwardmartiniii.bsky.social•53 days ago

Okay, I gotcha. My author slate won’t vary until at least next summer, so groovy. And already sooooooper clear to avoid all AI garbage.

Thank you for responding! :)

Even outside the art theft, what is its redeeming value? Google just released an iPhone app with theirs. Purely out of curiosity I asked it a question. And like back when they first rolled it out on the web, as Bard, I got BS results. You shouldn’t have to fact check reference sources!!! 😳🙄🤯🤬 WTF?!?

jengelmattern.bsky.social•94 days ago

I will never stop being surprised & disappointed when I mention how much I hate AI & people look at me funny like, “how could anyone ever have a problem with THAT?”

ghoulhands.bsky.social•93 days ago

It is not only a threat to our collective creativity but also the entire web as we know it and, most likely given time, our entire existence offline too. Nobody asked for it and nobody wants it. Fuck the artilect dystopia!

This election has shown that there is a dwindling market for integrity at any level of society. Nobody in power is coming to save us. The only option is to lock arms and hold fast to each other until the storm passes.

Until the hashtag, I thought for SURE you were talking about "aye aye" like sailor talk, and I was like "WTH am I missing??" 😆

stinasdemons.com•94 days ago

😆 People write it out that way to avoid getting on block lists that may pull any mention of it. I have posted it the regular way before and don't think it got flagged, but decided better safe than sorry.

auritech.bsky.social•94 days ago

i've discovered another reason to do that.

bots. they're here and they will find you.

stinasdemons.com•94 days ago

Yes. Also a very good point.

jldurona.com•94 days ago

Batten down the hashatgs, matey!

spookyxpickle.bsky.social•93 days ago

It would be waaaaay different if AI training asked for permission and paid people. And if it was used more for making people's lives easier so that they can make more art.
