Since it's #PortfolioDay, why not give the most recent #DieselDust short animation a look?

I'm an actor first and foremost, but also a writer, director, 3D artist, and animator! 😊

We are graced with another #PortfolioDay 🎙️🎛️🎧✨

Marc Swint [ th3Engineer ] @marcswint.com · Apr 9

Time to kick in for #PortfolioDay!🎙️🎛️💕

Looking to be your hot-blooded hero, big brother type, grizzled/non-grizzled soldiers, time-worn teachers, and many others if you give my voice a spin. With a volume that makes engineers go "Wasn't ready for THAT.😮 Lets go again.😅"

Happy 2-year anniversary of Sunset Phoenix!

Valentine and Emilia from Sunset Phoenix. Emilia has her right hand around Valentine's waist, and Valentine's left is on the back of Emilia's neck. In Emilia's other hand is a sword, the tip up against Valentine's sternum. Valentine is casting a magic spell, summoning bright blue flames that frame the pair. A series of black Baldes hang above Emilia's back.

OverClocked ReMix (We ♥ video game music!) 🎮🎵 @ocremix.org · 2d

25 years in, we are NOT allowing genAI music onto OC ReMix, full stop.

We're 100% against genAI music and are a community geared toward authentic creativity and artistic development. You don't get that by doing text prompts.

Recent comment: "This A.I. music is as fake as 🏈 🦇."

In this case, this is human-made. (3 of our judges panel are also involved as collaborators on it: jnWake, pixelseph, and paradiddlesjosh.)

We explicitly do NOT accept any music made with generative A.I. There are tools out there that help identify genAI music. If music involving genAI is ever unknowingly let on, it will be removed if it's discovered.

A self-proclaimed “former fed” deliberately sharing AI-generated disinformation and blocking the ability to post comments underneath it is incredibly fishy! Hmm!

The Enigma of Amandagara Fault @amandalafrenais.com · 4d

A hint for spotting AI videos: think about what is supposedly recording the vid.

AI seems to be trained on photos from DSLR/mirrorless cameras & smartphones with post-processing. So when they try to reproduce smaller crappier cameras (webcam, trail cam, doorbell, etc), the image is just too good.

Because of Who I Am, I'm being sent that video of the possum being started by the Halloween decoration A LOT, and I am become buzzkill because I regret to inform you it's AI

Time stamp makes no sense, shadows are wrong, too many toes, possums can't jump like that, table changes dimensions and warps
