A wallpaper I made for my phone, Just like the previous piece I was going to use AI to fill in the background and painted the characters. Based on new info that has come to light about the shady practices used to train the AI. I elected not to use it. I feel like this topic has caused a lot of contention online. Entitlement has run amok, with very little empathy being shown towards artists. I think like with every technological advancement there is a way for everyone to benefit. Perhaps it is fitting that this post coincides with this technological moment. It makes me think of Tchalla’s decision to share Wakanda’s technology with the world, and the quote that proceeds that decision. “In times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe” All eyes on you ArtStation.
