A text based image displaying the following: GEN-AI IS THEFT Generative Ai models such as chatgpt, sora and midjourney steal from artists/photographers/ writers/translators/3d modelers and uses millions of creator's work without permission. ANY use of gen-ai in any creative industry is denying a skilled creator a job. There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai
A text based image displaying the following: GEN-AI IS WRONG Not only is it morally and ethically wrong, gen- ai responces often include incorrect information or fabricated truths. Photos created via gen-ai are becoming increasingly more difficult to spot, leading to potentially dangerous misinformation. There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai
A text based image displaying the following: GEN-AI IS DEATH Generative Ai models use an incredible amount of energy to answer a single question or generate one image. Ai data centres require a lot of electricity and water to cool down the hardware and they also produce a lot of electronic waste. This is having a detrimental effect on our environment, effecting us and our plant's wildlife. Sources- MIT, UNEP There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai
A text based image displaying the following: GEN-AI IS RACIST Gen-ai data centres are primarily built in BIPOC and low-income communities, exposing them to harmful waste and increasing electricity costs. This is by choice. Gen-ai data sets have been shown to express a bias against non-white communities. Sources- Project Muse, CapitalBNews, Harvard.edu There is NEVER an ethical excuse for using generative Ai

A dark blue image with a faded illustration of Scylla, the woman-turned-creature from Greek mythology. In the top centre sits a white logo that reads 'Scylla' in a bold font, with the bottom of the letter 'y' curling into a serpentine monster's head. Below that in larger white text is the title "Who am I?" in all caps. Underneath is two lines of thinner light blue text that says "A sapphic spec fic anthology of identity and purpose". In the bottom center of the image are the words "Submissions open now" in all caps, and a light blue rounded rectangle button that says "scyllapublishing.com" in blue text.

You thought deeply but did you speak with Trans people, especially Trans people in the UK where she has backed/funded the push for harmful anti-Trans legislation?
22.07.2025 21:01 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I would honestly love for reporters to actually push back on Julie Soto when she says that fanfic is an act of resistance, because what is her nazi sex slave fanfic resisting? Also extremely disappointed that you didn't mention JKR funding the court case that ruled transwomen aren't women
