thinking about the popularity of so many "redraw trends" and plagiarism of compositions by all sorts of artists (it comes up often for gposing but 2D artists do it too). i have to sum up my discomfort with it as follows: it's artists treating other artists the same way A/I treats art as data
Remember artists rely so heavily on reposts to grow and reach new people, whether it's reposting our own stuff for those who might have missed it, or sharing a piece from a fellow artist ! It's massively important for commission posts too ! Consider this before you turn off reposts 🥹

I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
Maddy Myers 🏳️🌈@midimyers.com · 2w agoit's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun

in art circles in jp / chn, artists get referred to as “sensei” / “laoshi”, but we don’t have that in english and we should. but i also don’t really like the way “teacher” sounds in english, so i think we should start addressing all artists as “boss”, like we’re all goons (the normal definiton)

![[ID: A four panel comic of Ryland Grace and Simon. in the first panel, Grace is standing nervously and avoiding eye contact, his dialogue reads "Okay, you don't have to answer our other questions if you don't want to, But can you please tell me what year it was when you entered the submarine?" with smaller text stating "If it was in the past two years, i want to know if the beetles arrived". In The second panel, Simon is holding a water packet labeled "H2O" while looking annoyed, he's wearing an "eel want me" shirt. His text reads "It wasn't that long ago, Just 378 EIC", in the bottom right corner of the panel a chibi of Grace says "Sorry, I'm not familiar with that calender, do you know A.D?". In the third, Simon has brought the water packet up to his lips to drink, as he grumpily answers "Are you serious? Ugh, It should be... 2370", the grace chibi in the corner, now looking distressed, says "two thousand and...WHAT?". The final panel contains the two in chibi form, with Simon staring at Grace as he holds Rocky and rambles, looking freaked out. grace's dialogue reads "Rocky! Holy Guacamole! Rocky, he's from the future and he said he doesn't have stars, Rocky the hecking astrophage! we need to figure out what we did wrong!" Rocky's text simply reads "Damn, statement." /End ID]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q2yg6izwgttuo3k5vxaj552l/bafkreibq3jobmfjaoj7cdgnijc2vvdadppfmytibbwwvkd52xytvp42n54)
![[ID: Two loose drawings of Grace talking with Rocky. in the first drawing, a chibi grace is using his laptop as Rocky's tapping on his ball to get grace's attention. Grace's dialogue says "Maybe the problem is that it evolved to escape plastic?", Rocky says "Grace, need word", Grace responds "What's up, buddy?" and Rocky says "Sees future, warn others, statement.", Grace answers "Uhh, prophet? Seer?" to which Rocky asks "Simon prophet, question?" Grace says "That's more of a spiritual thing, I don't think a time traveller counts-" but cuts himself off. The second drawing is a colored closeup of grace's face looking wide-eyed with a bead of sweat dripping down his face. The text next to him reads "Hmm, a prophet..." /End ID]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:q2yg6izwgttuo3k5vxaj552l/bafkreifsxymho6vcbet27nrrrjq7ueetizlazper2vv6kvxneazimzdxx4)
