A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I just take comfort in the fact that my art will never be good enough for a generative Ai to steal.
If it's on any major platform, these companies will probably still use it since I doubt at that point if they were allowed to scrape the whole internet they'd have any human looking over the art used.
It'll just be thrown in with everything else similar to how I always seem to find paper towels in the dryer after doing laundry.
Then I take comfort in the fact it might serve to sabotage whatever it generates.
"Bad" art is still useful in training these models because it can be illustrative of what not to do. When prompting image generators it's common to include "negative prompts" along with your regular one, telling the AI what sorts of things it should avoid putting in the output image. If I stuck "by Roundcat" into the negative prompts it would try to do things other than the things you did.
