The instant someone uses genAI, my trust in them is immediately shot to shit. How do I know they didn’t use genAI for their music? For more than just placeholder assets for their game? For their script?

I don’t want to waste my time trying to figure it out.
GenAI: not even a little

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.

Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers

Jetzt hab ich auch endlich mal "Evil Dead Rise" gesehen. :,D
Bin aber einfach kein Fan davon, wie Filme einfach immer brutaler und krasser werden. TT^TT

Und schläft erst mal, sie ist so fix und fertig. Aber Maki und ich sind happy. X3

Ich versteh jetzt, wie Mea sich fühlt, wenn ich bei meinen Eltern bin und erst spät wiederkomme.
Ganz schön einsam hier.
... Hab mich aber zumindest eine Weile getraut, was zu singen - und war dabei schockiert, wie schlecht ich klinge. Voll aus der Übung. TT^TT

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

I drew a Z-A version of Lysandre and Professor Sycamore from one of my older pictures. 😊✨
They are now together forever. ❤️💙

A digital fan art of Lysandre from Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Professor Sycamore. Lysandre embraces his old friend with a gentle smile, and Sycamore nestles contentedly against him with his eyes closed. The background accentuates this harmonious moment with a sunset-colored sky filled with soft glittering particles.

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.

Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.

It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.
a screenshot of a bluesky interaction. the first post is by bluesky user spikermonster posting a drawing he made of an adult lydia deetz from the beetlejuice cartoon, wearing a victorian vampire outfit. the caption says "of the palette variations i made i think this one might be my favorite." the palette has lydia in teal lighting in front of four gothic windows showing a purple night sky. the second post is by bluesky user kimifw simply quoting a post by jnxouaquaga which reads "How are you *still* not using alt text Is it a blatant "fuck you"? Advertising "I am a dickhead and cannot be forced to care"? Bc it sure seems like it." this user has been leaving this quote on several random posts from what it seems. spikermonster replies: "i’m really not used to using bluesky yet, sorry. i don’t spend much time on here and i’m usually in a hurry, plus describing my own work just feels very strange to me so i get stuck trying to think of how to do it."

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Finally completed the Pokédex for Z-A. Am nowhere close to finishing Mable's quests.
Oh well.

As promised! (We start, of course, with Lysandre. And Pyroar + Litleo. They were playing together on the beach)

I'm pretty satisfied by the first one :)

Ich hasse es immer, wenn Youtube mir Videos "automatisch synchronisiert". Grad sogar ein deutsches Video auf Englisch. WTF?! Alter, nein! Lass mich Videos in der Originalsprache hören, ohne dass ich es erst umstellen muss! >_<

PSA to anyone thinking about playing where the wind meets , I was recommended to try it out by friends but found out that it had AI chatbot npcs and uninstalled immediately. Posting here to let people know since the game itself does not openly say it uses AI and it wasted my time today .

It’s a bit funny to me when folks accuse anti-AI artists of “gatekeeping.” My dude, Midjourney charges you $60 a month for images, while real artists remind you that you can make it for free and experience the joy of the process. So who’s really gatekeeping?
