       @Luca thanks for making this! It doesn't seem to be working for me though? I ran it and it found 0 people out of 3000 scanned, even though the very last person I followed definitely has a mastadon handle in their bio (my twitter: @odbol

       @kristinHenry that's disappointing. Soon, most images will be AI generated, or at least AI enhanced. That's the reality we live in now. Imagine if 30 years ago you banned all Photoshop art, and only allowed physical art or photography. Imagine all of the culture and techniques and inventions and creativity in digital artistry you'd be missing out on. Engaging with AI technology, sharing it, critiquing it, shaping the culture around it—instead of avoiding it—is the best way to stay relevant.

       @kristinHenry I appreciate mastodon.art's more nuanced rules around AI art: it's cautious, yet still provides opportunity to engage in the conversation and critiques.

       @FlyingTrilobite my point is that a general ban on all "AI art" is going to make us quickly irrelevant as artists that need to learn and grow with the culture around us. If the concern is about some specific models, then fine, restrict those if you really have to. But the way the rules are written are banning all AI art, even if e.g. it was trained by the artist on their own images. For example: if I create generative art but the Github Copilot AI helped me write the code, is that banned?

       @FlyingTrilobite @kristinHenry the way the rules are written now, they also ban pieces like @Huaxixyz's custom AI models that expose the hidden labor behind corporate AI, or @JanelleCShane's AI generated band names. If you blanket ban all AI art, we're all going to miss out on important conversations and advancements, and also truly original works. The field is advancing so fast, there will be new models that may be more ethical. But we'll never know about them if they are all censored from us

       "Algorithmically-sorted feeds are good for some things. They let you know what are the big, popular conversations of the day, which is valuable! But if you stare at ’em too much, it’s intellectual monocropping. All you wind up knowing (and thinking about) are the same things everyone else knows and is thinking about" - @clive https://clivethompson.medium.com/how-i-use-rss-to-rewild-my-attention-7731267a40d8

       Scraping the bottom of the 🛢️. @jenniferdaniel would appreciate this use of the forgotten emojis by @clive https://clivethompson.medium.com/weird-emoji-i-resolve-to-use-more-often-7816c7b7e706?sk=2a7a436b61d91908c2b350f3509a1541
