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 how do you think should I handle this as a content creator?
It feels absurdly redundant ending all my toots in something like "pics by me", especially when it's more than obvious, because most of my toots consist of myself showing off some newly built thing.
Sure would I attribute media from others, but IIRC this never happend once at this account ^^
Or should I just drop the line into my bio?
@fxk8y & copying @eri bc they had a similar question...
This is a great question & something I think we need a convention for. I think in the specific case you mention, putting the crediting instructions ("please credit as [x]" ideally where x is some commonly understood license, such as CC) in the clicked-through artifact itself makes sense (something interactive). In things like images I think adding CC by X is short and sweet. @kzeta mentioned putting in alt but I'd honestly elevate to main.
