Please comment with your thoughts by the way. Likes aren't enough to go on here. I need to be able to come up with something solid as Rabbit needs art for a major source of income currently.

Rabbit Queen, the artist the Otome Road (and other comics) comic and I have been talking. Would Otome Road fans support a model of early access to pages at say 5$ a month staying several pg ahead of public if they released once a week on DA Subs and Fanbox? Otherwise we continue at this unsure pace.

Then start for other purposes too. Let's overwhelm this bot slop.

As long as you're trying, you'll get better at things, whatever that may be. These companies want to sell the human experience and what a dystopian concept that is.

Try writing again. You could never be worse than the slop out there.

All these things are just one scam after another. The goons benefitting need their useless snake oil to keep moving lest the crash they've been due arrive finally and everyone sees them as they are; like the nude emperor in his supposed new clothes.

Guess we'll just have to overwhelm them with human content. As a writer, I truly encourage everyone that follows me to contribute to this fight.

Write thoughtful comments for those whose work you like, make your own stories (you'll get better over time), put out opinion pieces, etc. Just write.

Huh. That's interesting. I think many don't know that I run back that far, what with the name change and all.

OK. I didn't create my oc Tracy using a game for the record. I drew her myself at first with my own lacking skills, my wife drew the second picture, and I've paid artists their established rates to draw her or gotten pictures of her from community friends.

You'd have to look into specifics. I'm not prepared to make a blanket statement per se. There were goofy little anime oc generators since the early days of the net, but most were loaded with pre made assets by one or two artists. Anything offering to generate a pic is just stealing most likely.

Just full ban all consumer uses. All 'generative' (plagiarism) uses should be banned and fully deleted. Fields like you mention, perhaps, but the environmental impacts need to be measured. Honestly, it seems that there is no place for it.

CCDPA @ccdpa.bsky.social · 1d

These bots take works without permission and compile them together. It's just cheating and plagiarism. Full stop. It takes work away from creatives which have been historically under valued and steals from them. In addition its mad harmful to environment just so someone can make a dumb image.

This is super adorable and, minus the diapers as it isn't my wife's thing, it makes me smile and think of my own relationship. We celebrated 17 years together in September. Congratulations on this milestone, Reva.

Dawn and Serena's Big Debut Ch. 8 is up for everyone to enjoy.

Serena expected a change in her life that stardom would bring that day, but maybe not this...

Quite the apt comparison. Remember folks, there is no such thing as a harmless use of this stuff. The stealing it does to 'generate' images or stings of words together (it cannot make art, that's a human process) as well as the environmental damage and overall energy consumption. Deny it entirely.

When I think of A.I. I think of asbestos. To begin with everyone thought Asbestos was amazing, folk used it in everything. Then they started learning it was dangerous, research was done, they stopped using it, thou for some the damage was already done. Stop using A.I and limit the damage it's doing.
