I just purged my Instagram account. I was only using it as a personal record so it’s no big thing. I just super super loathe the idea of AI. Although if it learned off my work it would just get all my mistakes as I’m still learning haha. But nah it’s the principle.
I don’t write anything on Facebook and I don’t have Twitter/X (whatever that’s called now). Just a big fuck you to AI learning to replace creatives. I just I hate it so so much.
The one fact which makes me feel better (but I also hate because it’s so sad that it’s a thing) is that currently I believe AI can’t create queer art so well. The prejudice in the world is learned and baked into the AI which sucks, but at least there’s still (currently) a place for me to create. I can write queer stories and draw queer art and it will still matter (hopefully). On one hand it would be good if the AI got the prejudice knocked out of it because prejudice sucks and should be eradicated. But also yeah I like the thought that all my effort in trying to improve my skills isn’t yet totally meaningless. Both things can be true.
But yeah fuck AI.
