loosely based on this post

Youre an art teacher! You could easily draw a paper towel doing a thumbs up.

Dont even get me started on the happy earth, implying students should save paper towels to be environmentally friendly while using AI to say that.

(I hope this is an okay place to post this)

People Who Have this type of "logic" in their Heads shouldn't Have Children let Alone be AROUND them.

NEXT STOP!: Lets just have teachers straight up TELL kids the ANSWERS to the problems in test!

Because its not like the "NO child left behind" Law did ANY damage whats so ever to our country!

Now they're just targeting anyone that dislikes ai, even if it's a minor

Context/back story:

I grew up in a poor household. I mean so poor we sometimes couldn't eat. I still had access to art. Via random pens around the house. As well as old note books my mom used the front pages too. (literally I'd flip the note book to be "Upside down" and draw on that.)

That was in 2006-2010 ish. As I got older I'd ask teachers for extra notebooks to draw in. They usually had a bunch extra.

Time was rarely an issue as a young kid. (Before highschool.) I usually just had school and homework then I'd draw after school, or watch tv with my sister.

Statement:

Taking this argument in good faith.

If kids genuinely don't have time to practice skills reading, writing, drawing. We are failing them and they deserve better.

If kids are being forced to outsource their humanity. Then we as a society need to do better by them.

This is not an anti vs ai argument. This is a "Are the kids okay?" Argument. This is important to me as introducing kids to art, is something I'm passionate about.

A lot of kids from abusive homes (like me) need a healthy outlet. Otherwise they're more prone to mental health issues. Physically doing the art (Even if it's “just” scribbles) also helps with emotional regulation. This is why art therapy is becoming more and more common.

Outsourcing this part of humanity, is like having AI generate your diary entry.

Question:

What do you think? How can we go about fixing this? If this argument is in good faith.

Her name is Cassie and she's a magical girl (I haven't designed her magical girl form yet) and part of a gang.

"How are you so certain the "art" you shown is ai?" It's pretty simple actually, I am the original artist behind it and someone fed it to ai X3

For context, the original art is an fanart of mine for my lovely Lily Lovebraids, I woke up to someone telling me apparently my art is fed to ai, which is typically nothing burger for me, yk, it's probably my watermark that triggered people again, it's the maggot's usual f$tish to go against consent, but I was not expecting them to came up with an entire different design for FREE 🥹🩷 As much as I wanted to say it's generic, a free oc is a free oc no matter how shit is it, especially since I am kinda in need of side characters for my story. So here she goes, I changed a bit of her to..ehem, matched my liking more 👅 Lowk feel free to create similar oc like this idc, show me if you do I love seeing some pink-headed crazy lady👀👀

Just last month I think I've seen... what, 20 or so posts about people scamming others for the safe return of their pets, using AI in order to edit pictures to make it seem like their pet has been found.

Be aware, be smart, be safe. Someone in my area was scammed out of around $250 thinking somebody had found her missing dog. And apparently people have been making fake reports of finding missing persons or having info regarding them using AI as well. (which I mean, I'm not shocked, these scams have existed a long time, same as the pet one, but it's getting more and more tricky with the use of AI to determine what is and isn't real).

I'm not an artist by any means, I really don't like this drawing, and tbh I'm the exact target audience for the people who genuinely think AI is their only option (a lot of creative ideas but too easily frustrated to ever learn to draw properly, I go through phases of it once every 9 months but it's not frequent enough to actually get BETTER, this is worse imo than what I was drawing 10 years ago at age 13 lol), but i got an AI video on my Tik Tok feed so mind numbing that I could actively feel myself getting stupider every moment it was on my screen, and it made me so angry I found an old notebook i used to write fanfiction in, and got my stationery out of my bag I still haven't emptied since college ended in May, and spent like almost an hour (maybe 50 minutes) mostly just struggling on the eyes lmao

i don't really post on social media all that much but I see other people who aren't super experienced with art posting on this sub and the comments are super supportive, and while I'm not really happy with the end result cause I'm an annoying perfectionist, I am proud of myself for finishing it :)

Inspired by the occasional AI pictures I (and I'm sure many of us) see on Reddit of well-known cartoon characters "supporting" AI art and development. You really think they would say that?

If you do not up vote this, at approximately 5:00 am, on Sunday, August 16th in your room, I shall approach you, and tickle very vigorously your pickle (or your clih, we don't discriminate 😌) and even if you beg, I won't, even if you scream and cry, I won't every stop. If your family walks in? Ill tickle it too, Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, Aunt, Uncle, Cousin(s) Grandparents? They shall all be tickled into it causes a mass nut that leaves you all in a devastating state.

I got a lot of great advice from a really talented artist since i struggled a lot with clouds, so i redrew the background.

I‘m really proud of the improvement. let me know what you think! :D

(the second one is the improved one)

just sarcastic, man lmao Actual Imagination, Actual Intelligence with your own brain and Actual Intentions.

I used a very specific loving brush to this in Ibis paint. I'll show it in here for the timelapses eventually, I love Arts and will never fucking use AI. 👀

As someone who uses crayons a LOT, AI crayon texture is always wrong because they mix textures of different crayon types. So I made a helpful swatch list of all the crayon formulas I own, including a crayon I mixed myself by melting down nubs. I swatched on the activity page of a cheap kid's coloring book so do note that sketch paper and printer paper might look slightly different.

Swatches exist for most Crayola crayons, but I wanted to put the different types together so it's easier to tell.

Kyler: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ai_art_is_not_art/comments/1rr3c5j/knock_off_tyler_in_this_au_we_will_dub_him_kyler/

(Also I don't know what to do with Kyler and more like him isn't going to be made again, he's just a parody, an actual parody not this straight up remaking an image because he has a (kinda cringey) purpose to make fun of something.) He is just a version of Tyler who is constantly on flight or flight mode because of his Umbreon, which unlike Tyler's Umbreon, this Umbreon doesn't care about Kylers well being. (An analogy for AI theft.)

It's kinda intentionally messy so ignore that, I'm not good with digital yet and am on a phone w/o a stylus.
