#DeleteTheDatasets Ai should be trained on LICENSED art and photography only! Not stolen then ask for forgiveness. We deserve a say, we deserve consent, credit, compensation, and transparency! License the images before training. This is the way!

Hi #PortfolioDay - I'm Lyall, an illustrator and concept artist. Most of my recent work is under NDA, but here are some things I've made over the past few years. I don't have one particular style, and love to experiment with different media and find fun new ways of creating.

When you’re playing a game and something a character says makes you laugh- you’re responding to the lived experience, craft and sense of humor of a human writer. When you’re noticing the open world feels enticing, quests engaging, content rich- that’s because of human designers.

Once again the Zelda reviews boil down to, "A stunning achievement, a nearly infinite game world with astonishing experiences around every turn. The only downside is the actual experience of playing it is miserable tedium. 100/100, game of the century."

Fighting hard over on Facebook to be honest, concise, and represent my opinions about AI image generation to a group of former coworkers 💀

HOOOO, I’m launching a @Kickstarter tomorrow with one of my bestest friends @freddieswatkins. It’s a #zinequest #TTRPG where players wield books off their shelf as if they were spellbooks. Follow here to get pinged when we launch: kickstarter.com/projects/fre…

An algorithm can’t learn, isn’t intelligent, owns nothing, imagines nothing, does not communicate. It takes, scrapes, coallates, mimics patterns in data, stores, outputs, and calculates. It does not “learn” and it does not make art.

There is nothing Intelligent about AI image generation, and there is no “learning” in machine learning. All it is, is a vast mechanism to create bare minimum plausible-deniability and sell
One of my artworks got thrown into the AI-mill and regurgitated into this nightmare. Person offers their service "for a modest fee" via ArtStation, too. The second pic is my original. This is most definitely not the only case and I'm digusted beyond measure!

I see a lot of AI art hacks in my feed these days. I drew this for you. (Inspired by the Apu/Elon/weird nerds meme) #AI #aiart #hacks

stigmatize AI use socially, and ask your employers, publishers, unions and platforms to make a policy stand
