WE RECOGNIZE that generative AI is taking away opportunities from artists and disintegrating our desire to see ourselves reflected in the things we make. To surrender our creativity to machines renders us machines ourselves, manufacturing content without drawing from the very things that makes us human: our minds, our hearts, our bodies. 

WE BELIEVE:

1. Every human deserves food, water, shelter, dignity, and equal rights & protections.

2. Technology itself is not the enemy and must be utilized for the benefit of all.

3. Creation is not just output. It is a process, and process is how we learn.

4. Learning leads to caring, about ourselves and others.

5. We all must be the change we wish to see.

WE REFUSE to willfully silence our own humanity by handing over creative tasks to machines, both in a professional setting and in our personal lives.

WE ENVISION a future where the lives and livelihoods of all people are prioritized above money, power, and speed, and where human creativity is not only valued but revered for its capacity to illuminate, inspire, and connect. 

WE HOPE you’ll join us Over Here.
