Saw someone argue that opposing AI art is ableist because this is the only way for some disabled people to make art afjagjsfh. Disabled people have been making art since the dawn of time and because making art is so varied there will always be tons of ways to create despite disability that doesn’t involve ripping artists off by using AI art
Disabled people are honestly so brave for not killing annoying ppl every day I swear to god the disrespect
#frida kahlo didnt paint exclusively from her bed for months while in extreme chronic pain from several injuries #for 'ai is the only way for disabled people to make art' to be an argument #TELL THAT TO MATISSE #Christy Browne #GOYA #beethoven was DEAF and still wrote music #a whole host of artists in the 80s continued creating while actively dying of AIDS #how dare people make this argument istg (via @morethanonepage)
A lot of professional artists *are disabled* because art as a career affords the kind of flexibility a lot of people need: some days you feel great, some days you feel terrible, some days you have to play by ear, some days you have appointments, and a lot of creative professions allow you to work around that.
AI is actively endangering disabled livelihoods. Don't for a single second let the money-grubbing, art-hating tech bros convince you that they give a damn about what's best for people with disabilities, especially not while they actively infantilize disabled artists.
Here is disabled artist Tomihiro Hoshino. He was a gymnastics teacher and mountain climber until an accident in his 20s left him paralyzed from the neck down. In the months that followed, Hoshino struggled to find meaning in a life once based entirely around physical activity.
His friend brought him flowers and Hoshino was so moved by their perfect beauty that he taught himself to draw and eventually paint using his mouth so that he could express the joy he felt at seeing them. He became a nationally famous artist and is studied in Japanese schools. He opened his own gallery in 2005 and he sells his work on Amazon.
Disabled artists do not need AI. Hoshino even attributes his career to his accident, since he might never have taught himself to paint otherwise. *That* is what makes an artist. The absolute drive to create. The need to express something within yourself, whether it's a character you like or the meaning of the universe or the simple beauty of a flower.
Pushing a glorified search button is not "art", and disabled people are not some Uno reverse to deflect from the consequences of tech bros' shady actions. AI bros prey on *real* artists, including plenty of disabled artists.
