“I’m currently waiting for somebody. He told me to stay put, so, it’s best I don’t go anywhere.”

M: and well… along with the bloodline…. the rest of my family are actually pirates… well… not me mum tho. My daddy is a pretty big dude in the Pirate community. He even gets to go to uh….a special pirate meeting or something?? Like knights of tha round table! Except… with water… and pirates!

M: But my family isn’t the type of pirate that go around n… you know… the whole… “rape n pillage” thing… well.. sometimes they steal from the Navy Police but… they don’t do that… other stuff… Sometimes I even do stuff for my daddy or my big bro Theo! But… I don’t think its bad stuff!! They wouldn’t make me do bad things!

M: But in the end there still are those…. bad pirates… I try to avoid them as much as I can but… sometimes I have to interact with em…. not fun, especially since I’m a lass you see.

M: Oh! I kind of rambled a bit there heh! But I just ‘anna make it clear that I don’t like stealin things n whatnot! I just like wanderin around lookin for shiny things!

There’s a protest going on against AI art over on artstation, so I feel like now is the time for me to make a statement on this issue! 

I wholeheartedly support the ongoing protest against AI art. Why? Because my artwork is included in the datasets used to train these image generators without my consent. I get zero compensation for the use of my art, even though these image generators cost money to use, and are a commercial product. 

Musicians are not being treated the same way. Stability has a music generator that only uses royalty free music in their dataset. Their words: “Because diffusion models are prone to memorization and overfitting, releasing a model trained on copyrighted data could potentially result in legal issues.” Why is the work of visual artists being treated differently?

Many have compared image generators to human artists seeking out inspiration. Those two are not the same. My art is literally being fed into these generators through the datasets, and spat back out of a program that has no inherent sense of what is respectful to artists. As long as my art is literally integrated into the system used to create the images, it is commercial use of my art without my consent.

Until there is an ethically sourced database that compensates artists for the use of their images, I am against AI art. I also think platforms should do everything they can to prevent scraping of their content for these databases. 

Artists, speak out against this predatory practice! Our art should not be exploited without our consent, and we deserve to be compensated when our art is exploited for commercial use. 

Hey, can y’all rb this if it’s okay to send you messages asking about your ocs, cause on god I wanna interact with y’all but I am terrified of being annoying lol

Saira is the rather childish World Guardian of Space. They say her rings can shape-shift into various weapons, but she mainly uses them as chacrams
