Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Anti Generative Ai - Blog Posts
I never want to touch generative AI with a ten foot pole
I’d rather rip my own skin off and become a piece of art , rather than use AI to make a soulless image with no meaning
I can barely write , but i would rather write in my blood than ask an Ai to write for me
NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.
The "No AI " hack on the searchbar almost got me KILLLLLLLLLLLEDDD ToT
If u don't know, there is a hack where if you curse in your search you will get no ai images.
I was reading the bonus story of a manga called NANA (book 9). Naoki dyed his hair platinum blonde. I had no idea what this looked like so I googled it, but all I got was ai slop of random blonde ppl, so I decided to search "platinum blonde fuck" to get rid of the ai and............................. Yeah, the results were just porn.
If I were alone, I wouldn't care. I'm 22. I can handle it. but what I COULD NOT HANDLE, WAS THE FACT THAT MY COMPUTER SCREEN WAS FACING MY MOTHERS DIRECTION

I feel as though the rise of AI is yet just another indicator that we exist in society that views art as a product and commodity.
Most simply want to admire and consume art whilst holding no respect for the artists and the work we put in to create.
They just want to eat the fruits of a labor that is not their own.
Just saw ai art of Chuuya on my dash 🫠
Thank hell I remembered I can block people.
if you can't write using your brain then don't call yourself a writer. Don't bother posting it you illiterate fuck {with love}
Thank you for posting this op 🙏
Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.
A fight we can win together
Hello, Tumblr. It’s Casey and Bri, founders of Unvale. We’re reaching out to those who are as frustrated about generative AI as we are. Right now, it feels like we’re in a battle of technology against creatives. A battle of greed against humanity.
As the founders of Unvale, a creative platform that’s 100% AI-free, it has been disheartening to see the rise of AI online. Our team stands opposed to every AI tech company that is trying to remove creatives from the creative process. Big social platforms are already ingesting your content, your voice, and your likeness, building a model that will take opportunities away from real people. It’s disgusting, and it should be illegal. We have to push back. The platform we are building is already home to over 200,000 aspiring artists, writers, and creatives looking to develop their stories and share their work. We believe that the future of creativity should remain human-made, and we want to give anyone passionate about an idea a shot at creating something spectacular. AI is the cheap, quick win. We know that building something meaningful takes time and effort, but it’s also immensely rewarding. Like creatives, we believe in the power of human creativity.
Right now, Unvale could use your help. If you believe in our anti-AI message, please consider:
Spreading our message. If you already love Unvale or just resonate with what we’re saying, please share our platform with others. We are a platform for humans, and we need humans to advocate for us, not bots.
Joining our platform. It’s free to sign-up, and it’s a great site to slowly build your characters, your worlds, and your amazing stories in an AI-free space with big potential.
Never stop creating. We need flawed, genuine, thoughtfully-crafted art in our world. It’s the only way we make new things. We need it to let the next generation know that creatives aren’t going anywhere.
We grew up spending most of our time in human-made, fantastical worlds, from Star Wars to D&D campaigns. We know how escaping into these worlds can literally save you. And we’re not going to let AI win without a fight.
This is a fight we can win together.

But seriously, why do we get grown people who believe in the WILDEST conspiracy theories about world control (From Antivaxxers, to Flat Earthers, to microships to evil electromagnetic waves the damn Atlantis and Reptiloids), but the ONE TIME we actually get some dystopian type shit for mass propaganda and controll... they just dont do anything. Like i swear (again), you`d think this would be such a FERTILE ground for the conspiracy fanatics to throw a fit and mass hysteria and DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE. But nope... they are in fact the ones believing those ai videos and pictures like they are real and reposting them as proof of giants and aliens. If someone started spreading some bullshit like: "The devil is infultrating childrens minds through ai and its evil secret hidden messages boOooOo to put evil spirits in their pineal gland and close their third eye" i would pray for their health honestly... ...Not because i`d think they are insane or anything (they probably are though), but because i`d hope they keep doing whatever they are doing lol...
Art is beautiful because it exists.
Art is a process of decisions. Color choices, medium, subject, style, basically everything in art is a choice. And that's what makes it so beautiful. Being able to look at a piece of art and go "I wonder why they chose to use such a bright green here?"
That green could represent so many things. It could be the color of the grass outside that day. The color of their favorite toy. The color of their friend's hair. The color of the trees. Their favorite color. Their most hated color.
Maybe its about a message. Some part of their identity. It could be an injustice they experienced. Something unfair they saw. A victory they claimed. A fight they had. Joy they once felt or still feel. A protest piece. An important act. A source of motivation.
Or maybe there is no reason. Maybe they just felt like using it that day.
Even if art is not made to have a particular meaning, you can still look at it and see every stroke. Every line. Every intention. There was love put into this. A soul was mirrored. A little piece of that artist wound into the picture.
There is nothing there in generative AI images. It is a machine. It does not decide, it does not represent. It makes a collage of images fed to it from a database.
It does not make art. It makes images. Sure, a human prompted it. It told it what to do. But they did not make that art. If I told an artist "draw me a tree" and they did so, would I claim it as my art? I gave the prompt, but the artist created the art. Someone gave the prompt, but the machine generated the image.
There is one benefit: it has made me appreciate art far more. I wonder more when I see art just what the artist was thinking about. I like to think about each choice they made when they created it. I think about what I do in my own art.
I think I'm going to use green today.
Block him. These guys are just thiefs who don't want to learn actual art
I don't normally out people but since I literally have no other recourse when people make AI generated versions of my work without my consent, this is my only option. Block this guy in particular if you want to avoid him making AI versions of your work. Please don't harass him though.
I think a lot of what pro-AI people are really wanting is stuff that already exists but they don't know it's out there like
can't format a work email? templates
don't know how to write a resume? templates
writing a thank you card or a condolences card or a wedding invitation? templates templates templates
not sure how to format your citations in MLA or whatever format? citationmachine.net
summary of something you're reading for school/work? cliffsnotes.com
recipe based on ingredients in your fridge? whatsintherefrigerator.com
there's a million more like, guys, we don't need AI, we never needed generative AI
kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it
i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.
make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.
spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

Thoughts ?
Artists who refuse to embrace AI in their work are “not going to be successful in this new world without using it,” says Alexandru Costin, vice president of generative AI at Adobe. — The Verge
as they say, it's always morally correct to pirate Adobe Software. and with each passing month Adobe tries to reinforce their comically evil persona, now saying that artists that don't use AI will be left behind and won't be successful (as if being an artist guaranteed success before AI came and made it much worse..). and I'm done, I'm so tired of hearing the same stupid shit over and over again. listen up, Artificial Idiots — if it weren't for us real artists, your "new and crazy tech" would be NOTHING. It's all built on the work that was stolen from US. and you've got some nerve to now say that we'll be left behind? it's like saying everything that we did, everything that we painted only served one purpose — to feed your awful no-good machine.
Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.
💀 So, I tried Aethy today... 🤔
At first glance, it's quite a nice site, bit of a mix between Tumblr ^ Twitter, nice layout, quite intuitive, and the community seems nice enough.
However, there are two(ish) things that stood out to me and made me decide to not stick with it and not recommend it.
First, they allow AI art, and though it has to be labelled, there is so much that it floods the timeline. Fun fact, I don't see much AI on Tumblr apart from the bot invasions of certain tags from time to time. on the few hours I spent on Aethy, one post out of three was AI generated. That is just too much, it means a lot of users are using AI and posting that there, and as an artist that makes me feel quite unwelcomed.
Second, while I appreciate how the content warnings are implemented, something gave me pause: alterhumanity was considered a sensitive topic. Mind you, religion was too, but no other identity was. And that felt... off. Religion and beliefs can be sensitive subjects because of trauma yes, but censoring an identity that isn't spiritual in nature feels off. Then there's also the whole "all kinks, even the weirdest ones" while banning pro-para, like... Kinks are paraphilias? That makes no sense.
And I think I might have an idea why.
I wanted some opinions, so i looked it up online.
And I discovered that Aethy's mod team was deleting criticism and banning people who posted it, and answered quesries about it very rudely and with more banning. Then I discovered that mods are saying that pro-para is a label used by abusers, so everyone who uses that label must be an abuser. That makes no sense, and sounds like people who campain for censorship online saying that predators use profiction communities so the whole community grooms children.
In conclusions, the mods' rules are vague to let them moderate by personal liking rather than abiding by "safe community for adults who enjoy kink".
So yea, would not recommend it.
