What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Drawing illustrations is actually a REAL JOB that people do for a living.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Despite the technological revolution the book business is healthy and generally stable. People still buy A LOT of books.

We’re really not clear on what religion IS. At all.

Finally, here's my take on a #StarterPack: The Protest Starter Pack!

To learn more, visit www.irisluckhaus.de/protest-pack/

Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI, or at least not supporting it!

#NoAIStarterPack #StarterPackNoAI #ArtistsAgainstAI #NoAIArt #CreateDontScrape #StopTheSlop
"Protest Starter Pack: Creators and Allies unite, stand up and fight! ★ All major AI generators are trained on stolen content. That’s unethical and unfair. ★ They’re built to deskill and replace human creators. With their own work. ★ AI users support theft, data laundering and broligarchy. Don’t feed the bullies! ★ It’s not “just” artists. They steal your data as well, and will replace your job too. ★ We need consent, compensation and transparency. It’s called Opt-In. ★ AI enables fraud & destroys the web with false facts. Stop the slop! ★ If it’s in the training data, AI reproduces bias, stereotypes and prejudice. ★ Care about the climate? Stop AI wasting the resources of our planet! ★ It is not “time to adapt or die”. It is time to fight – or adapt and die. ★ So let’s unite, petition, protect, inform, explain and call out! Together, we are strong. ★ Thank you for fighting unethical generative AI! Or at least not supporting it. Artists fight against generative AI, which – unlike technical or scientific AI – is trained on copyrighted and private data without consent or compensation, and used commercially, in unfair competition with our own work."

We despise the use of GenAI to produce images, and we will die on this hill. Please don’t play around with it, pass it off as harmless, or use it full stop. Art is an expression of human creativity, not a frivolous by-product of greed. #NoAI

Some spot illustrations i drew in 2018 for FAZ Magazin.

They accompanied an article on soccer statistics:
most World Cups, fastest goal, most yellow or red cards, who conceded the least goals etc.

Turns out, the idea that generative AI can replace artists or photographers at practically no cost is an illusion made from hype and venture capital. First, AI images are often visibly odd (b/c AI doesn't get relations between objects right), and now it seems that they cost more than they bring in.
Stability AI reportedly ran out of cash to pay its AWS bills
Generative AI darling was on track to pay $99M on compute to generate just $11M in revenues

An AI datacenter devours enough water and electricity for a whole city of people each day.

A human artist only takes up as much electricity and water as any single human.

This is why, even if we settle copyrights and such, AI will always be immoral. Just pay a human.

Today is the day. Nightshade v1.0 is ready. Performance tuning is done, UI fixes are done.

You can download Nightshade v1.0 from nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu

Please read the what-is page and also the User's Guide on how to run Nightshade. It is a bit more involved than Glaze

In recent weeks, we've seen a wave of AI-generated images of white, blonde families presented by neo-fascist online accounts as models of a desirable future. As disgusting as this is, it seems no coincidence that AI is being used for reactionary propaganda

Hi all! Nightshade tests continue. We would also like to ask for artists' help on a new research study that evaluates the ability of artists and software tools to reliably separate generative AI images and art by human artists. Please help us on a survey:

Rant buddy @bendrix.bsky.social machte mich freundlicherweise auf den Relaunch der neuen gratiscomictag.de Seite aufmerksam und dass die mit AI bebildern.
Deutsche Comicszene is a gift that keeps on giving. Wie viel kann man seine Zeichner*innen eigentlich noch hassen.

We tend not to give AI any airtime, harmful or not. Why would we? We spend enough time battling it in the background as it is. But we thought this was worth sharing. We love artists! We love this community!

⛄️ Der Schneemann ist ziemlich ungehalten über die Schneefälle der letzten Tage… ihm ist es viel zu kalt hier 🥶

Detail aus einer Illustration aus meinem Kinderbuch »Urlaub für den Schneemann«.
Die Illustration zeigt einen schlecht gelaunten Schneemann, der frierend im Schnee steht.
