Protect your art from AI! 🤖 #aprilfoolsday #digitalart #artisttips #aiart

Spoiler Alert! It’s almost April Fools’ Day!

As I shared last year, April Fools Fay is my annual reminder to ‘not to be a fool’ & make sure my digital life is organized.

As an artist & ADHD’er I’ve made mistakes in the past that led to loosing important data. So I like the yearly reminder to change my passwords, delete unused accounts/subscriptions, & do extra backups.

Digital storage devices aren’t actually meant to last that long. I sometimes wonder if we’ll end up loosing more data from our time than paper-based generations before us. It’s important not to have everything backed up to just one storage device. Or have all drives stored in the same place.

I use blue-ray M-disks (from Amazon or Staples) to store important artwork images as they’re the most archival digital storage. But you will need a blu ray burner.

It seems we’re entering a whole new digital space to be wary of! 🙃

as someone who just lost most of my life’s portfolio, yes. artists, heed this advice: back your work up at least 3 times.

Using nightshade and glaze made me realize how art in the digital era is just so consumption based. Seeing that I needed like an hour to protect my art from AI, knowing damn well that most people would probably spend only 5 secs even acknowledging it was weirdly eye-opening and life trayectory changing

That is so smart. All we have done for April first is text Dad a picture of his phone on the kitchen bench and tell him he left it at home again.😅

Very funny, person who advocates for use of chat gpt, suddenly is concerned about protecting their work from AI. So i guess thousands of writers gpt stole from are not artists, only are. You are a massive hipocrite.
