This is not a question, this is a warning. If you're still using twitter, deactivate or delete your account right now or at least consider doing so. Why? Its because of this new feature: https://x.com/setermd/status/2003790488336499114?s=46

As this tweet says, this features allows anyone to edit your image with generative ai. And I dont think I need to explain why this is a bad thing for artists.

For me personally, this isnt too surprising, since twitter is run by tech bro, and tech bros generally are very supportive of generative ai in spite of the damages this useless tech poses to everything, from creative jobs to the economy. At best, most tech bros dont understand the value artists have at worst, hold genuine hatred towards people with any form of creative talent seeing them as a privileged class who oppress those who cant draw or write. I believe there is a lot of value in learning how to write and draw, in ways thats hard to describe but it goes against what ai stands for. Tech Bros dont want you to think for yourself, or be creative or do anything, unless it involves typing a prompt into chat gpt. I could go on, but I dont want to turn this into a soap box.

I know plenty of artists have already deleted their twitters but I know not all of them have, and its not like I don't understand now. Artists have an audience and a platform there already, and trying to move all of that to another site would be incredibly difficult. Which is why Im asking those of you who do still use twitter to think about it. But personally, I do not want my art to be fed by the ai machine and I dont think you'd guys want that happening with your work too.
