Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

You know you can just not use AI, right?
You can make a choice not to be part of this.
Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.
You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

I can’t understand, after the last 30 years of it happening EVERY TIME, how people think AI is going to stay free
Once everyone’s reliant, it’ll cost a fortune we just “have” to pay
Its energy needs will cost us the only world we have
All so someone doesn’t have to write their own Reddit shitpost

It doesn't even work worth a damn. Its writing is inferior, and its Internet summaries wildly inaccurate. The only thing making it seem worthwhile is the Silicon Valley scamming to make it temporarily cheap -- when the costs catch up, any reliance built upon it will become a massive liability.

If your books are among the 7.5 million pirated works on #LibGen, the resource #Meta has been using to train their #AI, you can at least send Meta a letter (using the @authorsguild.bsky.social's handy template) to state that they are violating your copyright.
