Here's a way to turn anti-AI rage into action:

Normalize crediting.

I can't tell you how many times an invite, email, blog post, random bit of social media content goes out with some kind of unattributed lovely art.

CREDIT ARTISTS. ON EVERYTHING. It's easy. And if we normalized crediting enough, the generated images would stand out on their own for absence of credit.

@edk I don't know if this is helpful, but I've been adding CC-BY-SA in the alt tag of my photos that I post here. (For example: https://mastodon.social/@kzeta/113188396127145310 .)
@kzeta I'm sure that does help, though I wish it was built into the image format metadata! Such that any kind of replication without deliberate alteration would retain it... I like your practice, though!
@edk Oh! Good idea! I think editing the caption of my photo might actually update the metadata??
@edk testing this idea of adding the caption to the metadata...
@edk curses, it doesn't seem to come through the metadata when I download the image – or at least, I don't know how to make it work on Android
@kzeta yeah, not a specialist, but I think these things operate on the markup layer around the image, and can't actually modify the image itself, which is on your computer or someone else's (cloud).
