These millionaire/Billionaire/Trillionaire AI Tech Bros don't even love art. They love that they can market unethical images to shareholders, companies and even individual users, who spend money for the privilege to do what they COULD do with their own bodies: make lines and shapes and colors that eventually make art.

And folks knowingly buying AI images and products... you could have generated that shit yourself by typing in a few words! 😩

Loving art but hating artists is akin to Loving Black Culture but hating Black People. (I'm saying this as a Black person artist.)

AI Image Lovers want to remove "the artist" from the equation in the same way that people want to use Black culture but remove Black people from the equation.

I have been trying to wrap my tongue around the words as to why this "AI Art" boom is so rotten and this is one of the reasons! 🥴

AI lovers don't actually love art. They love supporting billionaire techbros and showing artists that they don't matter.They worship at the TechBros' altar.

AI Lovers see art as a product that needs to be churned out. They have a warped view of what artists are and what they do. They have this foolish belief that by shitting on artists, they're "sticking it to The Man". Scoring one for the underdogs.

Those were the words I was looking for! OMG! 😅

i posted this on 28 February—before i kicked off exposur.es—and i stand by what i said! ❤️‍🔥

to me, while the exposur.es project currently exists on Pixelfed, the objective reaches far beyond simply being a corporate-free instagram dupe or any digital technology. i hope to witness it become a force that actively defies & dares the status quo and the reactionary swing.

come join me and let’s create a safe haven for all of us! ✨

psst… @vagina_museum, how about joining me as an admin? 👀
