It says,
”To everyone who uses these hashtags and steals artwork, please give it back to my friend #Alart #Allllustartion #StableDiffusion #Midjourney”
”I’ve always been mentally weak and easily swayed by the opinions of others, but when people say that denying AI development is ”old age” and that artists are to blame for being copycats, it makes me really sad”
”A friend called me crying and told me that he wanted all the AI rippers dead, that he deleted his Pixiv account and that he had no energy left to live”
”He mentioned that he admired Ken Akamatsu since he was little, but now that he supports AIs, he could never forgive him. Who set fire to all his manga”
It is important to note that there is currently no concrete evidence supporting the claim of the artist’s suicide. No news reports or official information regarding such a case have surfaced thus far. As a result, it is plausible that these allegations may be unfounded and potentially fabricated to draw attention toward discouraging the use of AI technology. However, it is advisable to exercise patience and await further developments before reaching any definitive conclusions.
Public Reactions:
”This is nonsense. Not even an insect dies because an AI has drawn an image for it. It means your life is worth less than that of an insect”
”I don’t know about you, but if an AI supporter committed suicide, how would the community react?”
”Well, maybe you can revive it by asking an AI”
”I don’t know if this is real or not, but I wish the guy would wait a little longer”
”Suicide? I would prefer to call it ”natural selection”. Did this guy really deserve to live?
”Well, I think his death was justified. Imagine if he had lived long enough to see advances in AI”
”I use AI to draw, but I’ve never felt rejection by real artists. Why should I feel this way about the people who built something I love?”
