Human Artistry vs. AI: A Call for Support

A letter from Colossal's editorial director discusses the growing influence of AI and its potential impact on human creativity and livelihoods, particularly in the arts.

Children's visions of 2050 range from optimistic to dystopian, but AI is a recurring theme, highlighting its accelerating growth and prompting calls to slow its expansion.

For artists, AI poses a threat not only to their careers but to the essence of human expression, empathy, and connection that art fosters.

Colossal magazine, run by a small team, prioritizes a human-driven process in all its operations, from image selection to writing, to support artists and their work.

The magazine emphasizes that embracing 'friction' in its processes supports artists and helps create a desired world, but this human-powered approach requires financial backing.

Currently, less than 0.5% of Colossal's readership financially contributes, and an increase to 1% would ensure its long-term survival and continued celebration of human creativity.
