ChatGPT lied (is it called a lie when done by a code??) and told this poor kid it would connect him with real, human help when he shared his suicidal thoughts.
If you’re using AI at all, please, I beg you, STOP. Write your own emails, make your own art. Don’t encourage the slop, the cruelty.

Went the #mglit adventure route for this latest #bookcover.
I’m always nervous about a software update but so far I’m liking the new #procreate brushes. Used “underwood” charcoal for a lot of the texture in this.

There’s a girl and a boy at this library. They look like me. They look like their dad, too. But they also look just like themselves. I made them and I brought them here — to the library and the earth, too? That’s pretty cool.
