I’ve sent a concern last year to Padlet about something that suggested that they were planning to implement something AI-art generated. When someone replied, they said this as part of their response:

“We aim to make Padlet a platform that is inclusive and respectful of all users, including artists. I apologize for any distress the template has caused. Your concerns about the ethical implications of AI art are important, and we take them seriously.

I will share your feedback with our team for consideration. Your input helps us improve and ensure that we meet all our users' needs and values.”

I was so relieved. I really thought that they’d cared. But a year later, aka today, I saw that Padlet’s comments included the option for “AI art” aka “I can’t draw”. Of course, I’m very pissed off. It’s as if my concern last year meant ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING to them, like it was some sort of joke of something!… so of course I sent feedback about this again just recently, will wait for a response. Unbelievable. It’s NOT an accessibility tool. It is just fucking stealing! What about that can some individuals not get through their heads?!

Please, world, just stop this fucking unforgiving “trend” called AI art…. so many attacks towards us and so many of our artwork is being used without any of our permission, CAN YOU FUCKING HEAR ME WORLD?!

(please don’t call me human, it actually gives me dysphoria, I non-pessimistic ally and spiritual identify as other, thanks!)

(Edit as of 3/2/25 - So I received a response and told me that they do in fact emphasize and will forward it to their product team. Thank GOD, I pray that something is done about this!! I literally almost planned to kill myself yesterday because I am so fucking sick of this. I’m so sick of this damn world already. One more disappointment from this society and I’m back to feeling suicidal again. I can’t deal with that rn.)

As an artist, I’m so fucking sick of so many fucking companies using AI art generators that steal from others’ work without even any permission from artists. Ever since 2023, it feels that everything on the web’s AI this and AI that. My used-to-be-favorite websites started adding AI generators and became greedy and now I hate them more than ever. All of this talk of AI art is pissing me off. It’s actually pretty triggering to even bring up about this because it’s just so immoral, and seeing big companies like Microsoft and Google going even more south is just… 😡

It’s not just human artists struggling. Otherkin (those who don’t fully identify as human non-physically for various reasons (yes, it’s a real and good-faith identity)) artists exist, too such, as I. So I always tend to get very uncomfortable being called a human throughout all of this.

Is our government even doing shit about this??? This is extremely unfair that so many individuals would now rather shit on artists and use and AI art generators than requesting or do commissions to artists. Yes, I know some commissions are expensive (some too expensive, in my opinion), but some do art as a job and that should be respected!
