It took them WEEKS.
WEEKS to write a few words in a box.
This should never stop being mocked. They genuinely thought we’d be impressed that a glorified brainstorming session for a few hackneyed ideas took an entire team WEEKS of sleepless nights.

AI made their stupid fucking commercial.
You are no artist if ”writing prompts” is your idea of hard creative work. What you are is a fucking imbecile and a hack. What you are is someone so unable to create you’re straining yourself at the inspiration stage aka the 1% of effort that goes into it.

I can't stop swooshing with my Sharpened Chalk Pencil brush, it's that fun! (a bit biased, right). I used the "Alt" version of the brush for 4k canvas, also included in the post.

Beau Bear adventurer, a painting I did last week as a gift.
8 hours in total start to finish, most of it being done in one session with a second session to tighten some areas up.
I quite like it despite being a fairly quick painting, maybe animal adventurers is my new thing?
Oils on paper 9x14"

I thought returning to Animal Crossing would be a relaxing way to get through winter, but now Poppy harasses me if we don't play it every morning.
She's also a terrible backseat gamer, and glares at me if I spend too long in buildings or talking to npcs when she wants damselflies to slap.

It says a lot that AI “artists” are so creatively bankrupt they think writing prompts is a difficult, arduous task.
You realize coming up with a prompt is what a real artist would call “having an idea,” right?
It took them weeks of sleepless nights to have some basic thoughts.

The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Every facet of generative AI has made my professional life worse, without question, but THIS specific aspect has been driving me NUTS.
Clients, who have made me toil for weeks over indescribably small details, are now approving & producing in-house commercial artwork that looks like a fever dream.

I feel the clients now using GenAI to do stuff and going "good enough" when they used to nitpick at every last detail is due to them finding out all those nit picky changes take time and work they cant be bothered to put in.

I was supposed to study for my language exam, but none of my note papers were good enough, so I spent an hour or two to set up.... 10 different ones in InDesign... a program I opened for the first time today.
Not the main quest, but a side-quest I'll accept 😂

I never know how to contribute to disability discourse tbh because mostly I'm doing okay these days (with hard work and caveats) but when I'm not well? I'm truly fucked for many months at a time. accommodations for me means "mostly I'm productive except when" and when is "4 months straight" you know

This is possibly a long shot, but… does anyone remember an old wooden statue on the south coast of the UK where young women would stick bobby pins into its nose? IIRC, the pin would supposedly fall out in the same year that they’d meet their future husband. My google powers are failing me today…
