As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄
NO CHATGPT Or other artificial stupidity: motivation First, clarity on distinguishing AIs: Non-generative: grammar aid, translation, dictionary, text-to-audio (e.g. Natural Reader): no problem As long as you use the appropriate tools (least intensive in data and server energy use). Why? Because you provide the content. Your brain is doing the most important work Generative: ChatGPT & Co. You only supply the prompt, the AI supplies the content. Why is this delegation of work problematic? 3 domains: ethical, environmental, intellectual engagement. (Caveat: generative is probably ok for computer programming, where it can be useful and save time. Not relevant to this class.) 1) AI and ethics Mass theft of all and everything «learning» on books, articles, blogs, social media, images, music, cultural production, without permission of authors/creators, and leading to their mass joblessness. Profits are not reditributed to originators. Permanent destruction of the mental health of underpaid precarious tech workers in the Global South (Kenya, Philippines …): «correction» to avoid production of violent and pedophile contents etc, tech workers are obliged to watch and correct super violent contents for days on end, leading to extreme psychological suffering and trauma, from which recovery is doubtful. No or little compensation (certainly not at the level of the suffering inflicted). In short, an industry built on theft of real human creation and sacrifice of real human health, profiting a few megafortunes. 2) AI and (un)sustainability Massive consumption of electricity, water, server capacity for generative AI. Outcome: keep fossil fuel companies in business, using up new renewable capacity, without any satisfaction of basic human needs. Massive misappropriation of the finance necessary for climate and ecological action (renewable generation, efficiency and retrofit for buildings, public transit, infrastructures for cycling etc) towards AI industry. Overall: undermine climate action, reinforce fossil industry, waste resources necessary for human development. 3) AI and intellectual engagement First, what learning is (or should be) about: The goal should not (only) be the reproduction of «correct» knowledge, But mainly personal engagement and experience of thinking about topics of interest. Personal engagement = using one’s own brain. The most important activity for learning and intellectual engagement is the experience of making one’s own mistakes, by trial and error, corrections based on new ideas, starting over again. Learning to recognise nuances, knowledge gaps, better explanations This kind of learning is possible only through using your own brain, not AI. Also, Ais are not «intelligent». At all. They simply reproduce pre-existing patterns. They «bullshit», invent false references, false facts, false data, simply because those sound plausible. VERY DANGEROUS. If you learn how to NOT use AI, and how to research facts and data on your own, this will serve you and your communities for the rest of your life.

Adding: SHARE THEIR FUCKING POSTS SO EVEN IF YOU CAN'T GIVE THEM MONEY SOMEONE ELSE CAN.

You might not have the money to commission them, someone who
follows you might. Likes don't show up on people's feeds, RTs and Quotes do.

"artists should charge more!" then pay them. Do comission them. tip them what u think they're worth.

Artists wont believe they are worth money until u give it to them. They know what it's like to not have much, & hope everyone can afford their art. SHOW them they CAN ask more. Don't just Tell them.

Artists on Bluesky: Hey, my car broke down and I need money so I’m reopening commissions! $15 gets you a drawing like this

(posts work of art so breathtaking that if the artist had lived during the Renaissance they would be employed as personal painter to the Medici family)

I love the final character designs, but I'm not gonna lie, I've been obsessed with this concept art by @amithompson.bsky.social since I first saw it. #rujinu #jinumi #kpopdemonhunters #kpdh #wolfssketches #artistsonbluesky #noai
Jinu and Rumi from K-pop Demon Hunters in the designs from some of their concept art. Rumi has an angry expression as she pins Jinu to a wall, and Jinu is smiling back at her. Both of their left eyes glow yellow and trail wisps of color that match the demon patterns visible on their arms, necks, and faces.

Hi #PortfolioDay ! I'm Ida, a Malaysian Chinese queer artist. I draw fantasy, ttrpg art, and girls in love!! 🎨🌸
An illustration of a lady knight by the title of River Styx in front of a depiction of a vulture and a cavernous river. an oc is holding her hands to her eyes, her hands are translucent. she is smoking a cigarette and sneers. A blue character has her fingers steppled over a dress made of negative space. An imagery of her lungs is filled with black roses and brambles and two bright stars. She has a rose coming out of her mouth as well. two characters hanging in the air with Shibari ropes as they kiss. They hang over the waters with clouds in the distance. They are covered in vines and brambles of roses and thorns.

fullbody color commission. A character with white hair wears a cloak secured by a bird pin, blue tunic, and strapped boots. They hold a spear dripping blood into the rainwater at their feet. they appear contemplative as a red droplet falls into their hand.

Strength tarot card for reformedvillain on tumblr. It's been so long since I've drawn a dragon, and I loved painting this gentle interaction. #fantasyart #dragons #elves #characterart #digitalart #dragonage #wolfssketches
A custom tarot card representing strength. Against a dark green background, a brown-skinned elf with long, dark hair stands with his hands on the muzzle of a red dragon. Both characters have their eyes closed in a peaceful expression. There is an infinity sign above the head of the elf.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist.
We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.
