Just opened my shop on CafePress and I'm going to dedicate this one to my hand-drawn protest art (no AI).

Either AI found my original artwork, or someone found it and fed it to AI. I'm not sure which. This is my hand-drawn illustration I posted on Oct 13th (well before this slop came out): bsky.app/profile/omen...

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Apparently, an AI model took my illustration without my permission or knowledge, and used it to produce fake protest photos (some of which look super realistic). I didn't realized this until over a week later. This is not okay and I'll be posting more about it soon.

This is also probably fake. Without my knowledge or permission, these AI fake protest photos were trained on my hand-drawn artwork that I posted on Oct 13th: bsky.app/profile/omen...

No, it's mine. I illustrated this (with my hands) and posted it on Oct 13th.

Yes, the drawing came first. Then an AI model somewhere out there used it to make derivative art and fake protest photos without my knowledge or permission.

This image is mine made by my human hands. I think it's okay to source AI for inspiration to create your own compositions, but derivatives of my art (fake protest pics) are being created by AI models without my knowledge or permission - and that's not so ethical.

27.10.2025 20:19 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes - and trained on my artwork without my knowledge or permission

27.10.2025 19:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yes it is - and trained on my artwork without my knowledge or permission

27.10.2025 19:04 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Tell me about it. It was trained on my art.

TY! I'm fine if ppl want to copy my art onto protest signs. I draw the line (no pun intended) at using it for monetary purposes. I'm now also very against AI being trained on my art for the purpose of producing fake protest photos. I can't tell with this one either, though, & it's disconcerting.

The AI was trained on my artwork without my permission and has been producing derivative fake protest photos. I don't think there was an actual 'original sign'. This is my work: bsky.app/profile/omen...
