The recent surge in creating custom action figures through AI prompted artists to push back against the mechanization of creativity. Many artists found AI-generated art to be formulaic and lacking uniqueness, leading to a movement where hand-drawn creations took center stage. The hashtag #starterpacknoAI, initiated by illustrator @patoureton, encouraged artists to reclaim artistic expression. This trend has also served as a protest against the ethical implications surrounding AI in art, with various creators emphasizing the importance of human touch in their works.
For many, the #starterpacknoAI trend became a form of protest. Artist and author @khal_essie shared her starter pack with the caption "As an artist, a writer and also a human being who doesn't want our environment annihilated - f*ck generative ai."
The playful trend saw mass popularity on social media, but the results tended to be a little formulaic due to the copy-paste prompts and AI's limited imagination.
