[continuation]
I wasn't aware of how bad AI actually is. Being in the art community on Instagram etc, I knew about art theft and ai art which I am strongly against - that's been bothering me ever since tbh.
I also noticed that there is a lot of videos going around where you actually have to watch it at least 3 times to figure out if it's AI or not and I really hate it because you can no longer just enjoy content - you have to question the integrity of it. Fake ads, fake news, deep fakes. It's dangerous.
And with the RAM prices rising, water being wasted and ultimately content becoming more and more *generated* instead of *created* on every existing platform, I think it's better for me and maybe also for the planet and us, as people, to pull away from it - step by step.
I want people to see my art and not question if it's AI generated. I want to write my own stories and not rely on a machine to fill my plot holes.
So yeah, that's my take and I hope you guys understand.
I am making this post not only to announce me closing down the c.ai account but also to encourage you guys to reflect on your own interactions with AI and be mindful when consuming content.
Best regards,
Akemi
