Wrote about Wildwood, Elon Musk's Odyssey, billionaires funding art, and how I've come to stop worrying so much about generative AI.

Here's a snippet; subscribe to read the rest!
On the other hand, Laika's anti-AI stance underlines that even though it exists due to one man's extreme wealth, at least that man is using his wealth to employ humans to do human things, as opposed to, say, Elon Musk's attempts to fund an all-AI version of The Odyssey. Especially in an era when so many moving pictures made by generative AI look straight out of Pixar, Laika's incredibly expensive and beautiful films stand out because they don't look like everything being shat out of a slop machine. What you see onscreen in Wildwood is all handmade, from the sets to the costumes to the animation. It took forever, and it was supplemented by computer effects here and there. But people made it. The proof is right there onscreen.

generative AI works by training off of actual art that human artists have made without their consent. its existence is theft.

AI image generation will never be art. you cant order a pizza and call yourself a chef. also gen AI is typically used for cheap products and not actual expression.

"generative AI works by training off of actual art that human artists have made without their consent."

So do humans. You're gonna need a pretty good argument for why it's suddenly theft when it's machine learning instead of humans.

After criticism of undisclosed AI art, Demonologist's developer said generative AI made some in-game pictures, posters, paintings, achievement icons and Steam store art. It says everything else was human-made. https://steamcommunity.com/games/1929610/announcements/detail/599739309075481106

Update! They are killing it off!
Hello everyone! We have a very important announcement for you all. Several years ago we saw the advent of Generative AI that was able to create images that began propagating on the internet, these images inevitably were also uploaded onto e621. Very early on it became clear that the community preferred that e621 only host art made by actual human hands. At the time, given the novelty of the tools and the lack of community opinion surrounding Generative AI, we thought that it was a good idea to give Generative AI art its own site. We did this quietly as we didn’t wish to promote Generative AI, and at no point did we advertise e6ai directly on e621. If someone tried to upload Generative AI images to e621, we would remove it, and redirect them to post on e6Ai instead if they wished. To be completely clear, e6ai never had any capability to generate images, it was simply a place for people to upload images, like many other places on the internet. We’ve heard from the community and we’ll no longer be continuing the e6ai project, and we will continue to disallow AI Generated art on e621. We’d like to remind the community that we have no control over what any company like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any individuals do to train their AI models. We do what we can to discourage it, but there is no way to confirm whether others are abiding by our Terms of Use. If there’s to be any real change in what information AI is allowed to use in training, it will need to be regulated at some level. We encourage everyone to reach out to their representatives in the government where they live.

ABSOLUTELY. As far as I know, these devs adamantly stand by human-made art. Human-made. Handcrafted. Homegrown. I do my best to play + research all the games I talk about, too!! (*ᵕᴗᵕ)⁾⁾

Using generative AI in ANY part of the game-making process is loser behavior. SUPER TACKY. 👏

Technically I have a very scarce okay stance on AI. Machine learning/artificial neural networks (for things like prosthetics) is a good thing to me. Generative AI, that of which learns/steals art, story writing, you name it, is fucking vile. No human words can describe how much I hate GenAI.

PSA: InnerSpiral / Alli (@innerspiral.lol) is likely using generative AI for her art while claiming it's human-made.

Several pieces from her were found to have a SynthID watermark. When asked to show layers of her art, she provided very fake ones. She's been accused of using genAI before as well.
Screenshot of InnerSpiral's (@innerspiral.lol) Bluesky profile header, featuring Pokemon-themed banner art and an anime-style self-portrait avatar. The description reads: Alli 🌀 | Just exploring the web and being a silly ol' gal. she/her 🏳️‍⚧️ Love making new friends! ♡ +18 🌐 innerspiral.lol Screenshot of Google's SynthID Detector, featuring an image posted by InnerSpiral / Alli(@innerspiral.lol), an anime-style illustration showing a full shot of a black girl in the style of a Pokemon gym leader on a white background. The detection result is showing "SynthID was detected. This media was made or edited with AI from a SynthID partner." The original Bluesky post featuring this image has been deleted, but a revised version that doesn't show a SynthID watermark has been posted since. Screenshot of the art program Krita, showing the "layers" of an InnerSpiral / Alli (@innerspiral.lol) illustration. This one shows a layer called "Hair". It has exact gaps in the exact areas around lineart, the character's glasses on top of her head, the face, the hand, the body. Nothing is visible in areas where other sections of the final image would be present. Bluesky post by InnerSpiral / Alli (@innerspiral.lol) on 2026-09-12: oh, and also there's somebody going around my pixel art and just randomly calling it ai, which is funny because this sprite art thingy (that i saved as a jpeg so it's messed), was made before i was 10. i've been doing this for a very long time. no ai, ever. anyways, quickly blocked & moved on. [image with alt text: a jpeg crushed pokemon forum art signboard to make various kinds of things! the ones listed are... list omitted due to character limit, it's a compilation of various Pokemon sprite edits and mashup] Post URL: https://bsky.app/profile/innerspiral.lol/post/3mvd6zuqwwc2l

Good news! e6AI is being shutdown!

Like I expected, the bullying of BadDragon and their owner to get rid of it worked out.

The staff never wanted this site in the first place, and from what it sounds like were basically forced to do it as a compromise anyways.

Bullying millionaires & corpos works
Good morning, everyone. As the news post states, Dragonfruit Ventures had made the decision to discontinue the e6ai project. That site will be put into read-only mode shortly, and will be shut down entirely later this month. Thank you to everyone who provided their opinions on and feedback on this situation. Your voices have been heard. E621 continues to disallow AI-generated content. We had never created or trained any AI models on content uploaded to e621, and will continue to put effort into combatting the scraping effort of various bots run by others. We will be able to start taking questions and provide more statements in the days to come. Regards, ~ Cinder 3 November Hello everyone! We have a very important announcement for you all.

The shift from generative art as a 'black box' to a 'curated assembly of found patterns' is essentially a return to the artist as an editor. If the network provides the vocabulary, the human provides the syntax. ✂️💻

Thank you for letting me know. Even though that I believe people should make whatever they want to make. I draw the line between using generative AI, and making Art of killing actual human beings.

AI artist admits to both using AI tools in her manga along with buying copies with her own money to fake the numbers

RIP bozo

(Formatting is a little weird, but an amendment was added between her original statement when asked about AI use that contradicts her previous claim.)
Tweet by Rinne_yt Japanese mangaka Reika Kajimoto spent 880,000 yen (approximately $5,600) of her own money to purchase 1,000 copies of her manga, Gansaku no Daijuban, in a desperate attempt to prevent its cancellation. Despite her sacrifice, it wasn't enough. The publisher decided that Volume 2 would only receive a digital release rather than a printed edition. Kajimoto later warned other mangaka not to follow her example, explaining that buying copies yourself cannot save a series if overall sales fail to meet the publisher's expectations. [Original Statement:] I use Al only to track my progress and manage my production schedule. I do not use it to create stories. [Later Amendment:] I have also used Al-assisted tools for perspective transformation and shading adjustments in background artwork. I sincerely apologize that, after deleting my previous statement, I failed to include this information. The Al-assisted illustration tool I used was COPAINTER: AIイラスト制作サポ [Continuation of Amendment:] I used Al to add shading to the line art I created. 生成AI使用についての謝罪 July 28th, 2026 09:06 生成AI使用について海外の方より第一話表紙の背景が生成 AIによるものではないか？というご指摘がありまして こ... All users nO image 【血と、】 PIXIV FANBOX [Original statement:] None of the props, backgrounds, or characters appearing in the manga were created using generative Al. They were produced either by hand by human artists or with brushes and 3D assets purchased from CLIP STUDIO ASSETS. Al was used only to prepare instruction sheets for my assistants .

The whole purpose of art, to me, is for (a) human being(s) to communicate something, from their mind and heart and soul, to someone, to transmute something into the world directly. Generative AI is just one too many layers of abstraction for it to work. It just comes across gross & uncanny.

Art Assimilates
Since we first began spitting pigments onto cave walls, art has assimilated new technologies and adapted them as tools of self-expression. This will not change. Art always Assimilates. The hand in this image is derived from a print made by a human over 30,000 years ago. Generative svg+xml 19KB

I’d much rather stylized art in the way a human creator envisions it. There is nothing special or interesting about generative images.

From an art perspective it’s possibly the most boring thing ever.
