Remember when that one story came out about the guy who used a bot with Chat GPT to auto generate responses on a dating app, which ended up with him getting multiple dates scheduled with multiple women, all of whom were unaware that they had never actually been speaking to a person? And how everyone understood that what the man did was horribly mean, dishonest, and inappropriate? And that those women were being lied to?
That’s how I feel whenever people post ai “art” without disclosing its AI. It’s deeply shady, unkind, and dishonest.
Like yes, ai “art” often can’t be distinguished from human art (especially if it’s about generic popular subjects that give the machine tons of material to steal from.) In the same way, Chat GPT often can’t be distinguished from human writing, especially if it’s generic common conversations like a first introduction.
But it matters whether something is created by a human, even if you can’t tell the difference between the final products. How something was created matters! Whether there was human intent and meaning behind it matters! Even if you can’t tell the difference between the final products, the ethics of how something was created matters!!!
A man on a dating app typing “how are you?” In order to ask how you are…..is very different from a bot meaninglessly generating the letters “how are you?” Because it’s statistically the most probable combination of symbols to use. Even if the sentence is the same, the way those sentences came to be matters!! And it will affect how you respond!
And the same is true for visual art.
I hate AI but If someone’s going to play with these tools, fine, no one can stop them. But i think you also owe it to people you’re sharing the generated images with to tell them whether they’re interacting with the creation of a human being or with the algorithmically generated product of a machine.
Otherwise you’re wasting people’s time and care. It means the people you lied to will waste time exchanging polite conversation with a mindless bot they think is human, or praise the art style and brushstrokes of an image that wasn’t created by a person. And that’s just,,,,sad. You can replace art with mindless bots or whatever but at the very least, people deserve to know whether they’re actually interacting with other people.

Promptober day 27: Awakening
Prophets foretold of the supreme ruler of the Wiles who will rise from the ashes and reign once more. The Wile giants worship them, and to a chosen few who they deem their children, they will bless them with eternal youth. With such power comes at a price: full subjugation to their calling, and a secondary spirit…
This is based on a scene that plays out in chapter 4 of Playing With Fire, which you can read on my story blog here. Fair warning this episode is for mature audiences.

Howdy everyone! I am starting off the new year with a new s/i and a new f/o thanks to my partner @cherry-bomb-ships (in case ya didn’t know x3) we’ve been watching star trek: the next generation together and pretty much from the very first episode I started crushing hard on Data 0_0 I wanted to watch a little more before making any decisions and after talking w Ruby a bit I’m already pretty crazy about him!
My self insert, Jane Callisto (yes I’m using the same last name as my star wars s/i cause I like it) was a friend of the Crushers and babysat Wesley when she was a teen, and thanks to that Beverly wrote her a letter of recommendation to get into Starfleet Academy and eventually onto the Enterprise as a schoolteacher at the age of 26! She remains close friends with Wesley, which puts her in a position to get to know a certain cute android...
