All of this is just to say, in case there was any doubt, we here at Binary Break do not support AI generated trash, and if you are someone who listens to our show, I would hope that would not be something that needs to be said out loud. And yet, here we are. Thank you for your time.

We considered responding by explaining the difference between fan art/fan fiction and AI generated slop, but at that point in time, it was pretty obvious that no productive conversation was going to follow any response we gave, so we blocked them and moved on.

However, they doubled down, accused of not being able to take the moral high ground, because we are making stuff based on properties we don't own, and clarified that they are not a kid, but in fact, older than everyone on this podcast.

After all, what self-respecting adult would post AI art of their digimon OC rather than poorly drawing it themselves using lined paper and/or MS paint, as it should be? We figured this could be a chance to give someone an opportunity to learn a lesson and become a better person.

At first, we considered an immediate block, but then figured this was probably just some dumb impatient teenager who didn't know better, and as you probably know from listening to this show, we here at Binary Break have a tremendous amount of compassion for dumb teenagers who make poor decisions.

We DM'ed the listener who posted it, told them our feelings about AI art (it's stealing from actual human artists, destroying the planet, etc) and asked them to take it down and not post AI art again, or else we would block them.

FYI, the other day one of our listeners posted some art of their OC digimon and tagged us in the post. We reposted, but then after reviewing it more closely, soon discovered that it was AI generated... (thread)

I have terrible news for everyone who listens to @binarybreak.bsky.social.

I’ve seen a lot of spellings for the PSA segments I do for the ends of the season 2 episode. Digivice, dig-advice, digi-advice. Not a one of you have ever spelled it right. Whatever you think, it’s worse.

It’s “Digidvice.”

The latest episode of @binarybreak.bsky.social draws to a close. Wow, that was emotional and funny, can’t wait until next month.

Looks at time remaining.

Oh we’re in for a treat.

I have to say, somehow @binarybreak.bsky.social has managed to both infect me with a desire to get a holy ring tattoo AND caused intense feelings with their latest episode.

Graffiti on the wall of a stage, lit only be two spotlights. The well is gray brick and the new art is a mural made by Jordan Battle and Olliemon, two characters from Binary Break. The centerpiece is a large purple tiger wrestling mask for Jordan's wrestling original character Phantom Tiger. Around the mask are brightly-colored stars, swirls, a cool "S", flowers, and hearts. Further away are sad messages in black. The work is signed with Jordan's tag, "PNTM," and by Olliemon. The background shows spots of paint on the floor, red curtains, a step stool, abandoned spray cans, and the lighting rig overhead.

Have I watched an episode of Digimon? No.

Do I know anything beyond that it might be set in a computer? No. 😁

Did I find out @jakemason.bsky.social and @anniezard.bsky.social are both in this podcast and immediately download the first 5 episodes? Abso-fucking-lutely.
