[Originally redacted as description for a digital drowning about to be uploaded to Pixiv.net. A check asking me to flag it as either "AI generated" or "not generated by AI" sent me off into this unfinished treaty on authority. Is it made by AI if I spent eight to ten straight hours finely tuning, carving, feeling, lighting, reshaping and, I think of this now, creating it all right on top of whatever the AI did generate. I used AI as my paint, more akin to materials. If I get bothered this much I should start from a stock photo, or a selfie, or my clothing, and feel it having its own stories, going through life, becoming. I need to do more. I want it adequate, so exact is irrelevant to be or not made by me at all]

BEYOND AI, WITHIN HISTORY, MOVED: ART PIECES COME, FORCEFULLY, FROM COOPERATIVE AUTHORY

COOPERATIVE ART:

FIRST, WHO, HOW, AND WHY.

HUMAN MOVING PAD, FEELING EVERY PIXEL, TRACING BEAMS OF LIGHT BY AFFECT, GUTS AND VOLITION.

SKETCH, SELECTION, COLOR, EMPHASIS, CONCEPT, TRANSFORMATIONS, DETAILING, AND THEME MADE BY ME VIA TRADITIONAL DIGITAL ART TECHNIQUES.

THEN, HOW MANY, WHICH, OR WHAT.

A PERSONAL ARCHIVAL OF REFERENCES MANY TERABYTES HEAVY, AND GROWING DAY BY DAY, IS CONSTANTLY BEING CONSULTED, REVISITED OR RESHAPED.

COMPLETED SERIALIZED WORKS, PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL, FIELD RESEARCH, HAND-PICKED MATERIAL SAVED TO BE STUDIED, WORKS MATCHING KNOWN THEMES, TOPICS OR STYLES GETTING ARCHIVED ALREADY META-CATEGORIZED, MEANING THEY CATEGORIZED WITH THE PURPOSE OF NURTURING THEIR CATEGORY.

I DO STEAL FROM MERCHANTS, BECAUSE I DON'T REAPECT THEM, AND I DO STEAL FROM SCALPERS' WEBSITES WHERE THE LEAKED EXPLICIT CONTENT IS OBTAINED VIA EXPLOITS, BACKDOOR, CRAWLERS, POSSIBLY SCRAPING MORE SITES FOR A DATABASE SO SURELY ANALYTICS DID THE SORTING TO BE ARRANGED IN TEMPLATE PAGE, A SCRIPT ON LOOP CHECKS THE DATASET SO EACH ITERATION MATCHES A CVS IN FULL AND WHEN IT'S DONE IT'S DEPLOYMENT TIME, THE ADS RESIZE ON THEIR OWN AND NO ONE GOT HARD OR LIKED ANY GIRL. IT'S INDUSTRY, AND THIS INDUSTRY LIVES ON CARELESS REPOSTS.
