Made with Gemini + Draw.io

I used Gemini and Draw IO to complete this and, I did many many many drafts of this post before posting it.. And Gemini is a life saver to make it readable. IFF I had posted this without gemini cleaning my text up, it would've been unreadable.

This is a analysis on

What happens when Artists shame their customers for using AI as a Idea Making Tool

it shook me a bit because it maps out exactly what is happening on platforms like BlueSky and X right now.

>I used to think: “Surely artists just want to protect their businesses? They aren't bad people, they are just afraid of AI training on their commissions.”

But that fear doesn’t explain why some choose to publicly attack, dox, or hate on regular people in their inboxes.

And this is why I analyzed this - That is what I am going to try to answer.

If you look at the actual logic in this:

The artist loses the data battle either way:

• Scenario A: The artist accepts a commission. A client uploads it online, and a web-crawler scrapes it. (Loss of data control for the artist).
• Scenario B: The artist rejects the client. They sell their work to a different client who uploads it online, and a web-crawler scrapes it anyway. (Loss of data control for the artist).

The AI scraping machine does not care. So why reject an immediate, real-money commission over a reference mockup?

If it’s only about cash, hating on a customer makes no sense.
(Rejecting a client is a perfectly fine boundary;
publicly hating them is a completely different story).

When you look past the cash, the actual cycle looks like this:

• (1) The Approach: A paying customer loves an artist's style and offers real cash for a commission, using an AI image purely as a visual mockup to explain their vision.

> (Note: Here, it seems like a standard business transaction).

• (2) The Turn: The artist rejects the project out of anger and fear of AI, prioritizing personal principles over immediate income.

>(Note: Now it's not about cash—it's about dignity and an emotional culture war. It would be completely fine to stop here, but some choose to continue).

• (3) The Shaming: Instead of a private, professional rejection, the artist posts screenshots of the private DM interaction on BlueSky/X to get likes, retweets, and validation from their anti-AI followers.

>(Note: This creates highly effective, free advertisement based on targeted harassment and cyberbullying). Hence? Dirty Money trough Exploitation.

• (4) The Result: The viral drama brings the artist fresh sales and commissions from anti-AI ideological purists who want to "support" them. Meanwhile, the humiliated customer leaves human creator spaces permanently to use private AI tools instead.

>(Note: This results in dirty cash for the artist via exploitation, but it actively drives users completely into the AI ecosystem).

• (5) The Outcome: The Client feels sad, and others feel hatred, and begin to train the Artists Works on LoRa

Note: This is where the Un-Ethical-Training begins-The very THING Artists are afraid of

By turning a private business transaction into viral content, the artist is running an exploitation loop—damaging regular humans for their own personal gain.

If an artist treats their marketplace like a battlefield, they shouldn't be shocked when clients choose the "lesser evil" and just stick to the algorithm, where nobody publicly humiliates them for trying to pay for a service*.*

Personal Note

I do not encourage anything mentioned here;
I do not encourage un-ethical-training without consent,
I do not encourage bullying.

What I want to say though is that
this approach drives people to Training LoRas without consent.
And that - this - should NOT be a shock for artists who hate on people.

• Lesser-Evil = Un-Ethical-AI-Training
• Un-Ethical-AI-Training = Training without consent

Hi!

note, im not a medic, or a pro at this and it was awhile ago, i had one but,
the worst part is the prep.

For me, I had always slept trough it. (i mean the actual procedure)
ofc i worried about "waking up" or "feeling it" etc but for me,
just, blink and done.

at the last time? i didnt even blink.
i was just..teleported into the recover room, lying down and it was done. xD

I do have one mildly interesting experience but - first of all - this isnt scary.
It was one time I didnt sleep directly at 1 second but i did sleep trough it all later.

like, at first I felt weird in chest, then I felt..static? then heard static. then tunnel vision. basically OEV (open eye visuals or something) but then, blackness and 1 second - boom i woke up and it was done.

note,
i dont know if this is helpful for others but,just wanted to explain to you all!

and, good luck! feel free to ask me any questions and ill answer them, i might be slow replying though, (as a crohns patient im a bit tired sometimes but, well im workin on it')

Why I Wrote this is because I know when I googled, I was nervous, and so this post is just, in hope its useful to someone ♥️

Love from Sweden to Everyone!

this is my first post so...if its wrong or bad in some way, please tell me. 💕️
Sending hugs to you all! The best.

P.S im not good at writing cuz i prolly am a bit sick/having a cold now so, if anything is fuzzy,tell me.

Made with Love, trough Gemini. Take Care of yourself ♥️

Context: "Pricken" is a swedish cartoon xD and it's cute, a bit sad, but well.

Picture is taken by me, awhile ago, it's a Iron Infusion trough IV cuz it was pretty bad at the time - On a Motorola Phone

I wanted to share some advice to others! but first, I am not a professional here, I'm not an expert on advice or anything, just sharing:

Before it, I was quite dizzy, But, I think that was because I was nervous, and stuff. And so, I wanted to give everyone a piece of advice, if you ever need a Iron Infusion, try not to be nervous and, bring a game (on ipad/laptop) or something, and, if you do feel faint, recline in the chair (the chair i used could be pressed a button, and you can, lie down in it)

Anyway, I was a bit nervous posting here because I wasn't sure like, I just wanted to share some advice that I think can (maybe/hopefully) be useful to others!

Take Care Everyone!

♥️ Love From Sweden ♥️

Hello!

As the title hopefully conveys I am planning to make a discord server of positivity around AI. And, being new to making these servers (at least in a serious way)

I wanted to ask:

* Do you consider AI art digital art? or hyper-modern-digital art or is just.. art/ai-art to you? < I ask this because the art-channels namings!

* Is there any list of channels you would love?
(idk? "prompt tips", "ai-art/art"-channels<obviously,ai-art-supporting<maybe to see how to support ai artists ?,introduction channel where ppl can link to their social media/but not dc servers(cuz we dont moderate those!))

* Finally, do you have any advice, for someone who doesn't *truly* know 100% how to run a server, like what should the rules be,
excluding "dont be a idiot and use common sense"?

Problem: Any process to be sure no trolls/camouflaged haters?

Like, for example, if I look trough their posts, and their social media, to build up a profile on what kind of person is this? is it an Pro-AI, Anti-AI, or Neutral-AI?
Is it a person who welcomes LGBTQ+

Hypothetical Solution:

Soo.. I thought of making a document in LibreOffice on Fedora And making a form in Google, to see what kind of people want to join!

It would act like a ID/VISA (🤣️) or something (in some sense, comically and weirdly put by me xD)

if you dont have the ID/"Authorized" form/etc, no dice. If you do: W E L C O M E ♥️🏳️
