Artists should defend their work by resisting the use of AI in their creative processes.

#WritersCoffeeClub 8/28. How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued? You have to ask yourself who's doing the devaluing - because it's not the majority, it's the tools of those who would oppress us. In which case the answer is simply to keep creating. Make. More. Art. #writing #writingCommunity

#WritersCoffeeClub 28/8: How do we defend ourselves as artists when the arts are devalued? By defending other arts and other artists as well as our own. For instance, if you’re a writer and you’re clear that you won’t use AI in your own work, don’t even think of using it for cover art or other visuals. And take any opportunity to explain why it’s such a threat. There’s a lot of scepticism out there; lots of cracks where we can insert a wedge. #books #writing #writersofmastodon
