The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

Sorry, but that's utter bs
Pizza spread throughout Italy after WW2 because of internal migration from the south to the north, because the biggest industrial areas were all there

And until after WWII that is where it was contained - Naples region and the US.
And then
American tourism flooded italy post-wwii.
We descended upon Rome. We descended upon Venice
And we demanded pizza.
And that is how pizza spread throughout italy, and then the world.

A key point to remember in all this is for more than a decade now what the media has wanted more than literally anything else in the world is for Marco Rubio to be president because they decided said decade ago he’s the one who is “supposed to” be president according to them

God, how is it that every single time, without fail, even if I know what's coming, ep. 24 manages to build up Ed and Ein leaving in such a way that I always feel a lump in my throat and get teary-eyed...

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.

Wish all those sakuga and other kinds of animation appreciation accounts moved past the regurgitation of fight scenes with a restless-leg-syndromed- camera and also noticed the craft that goes in like, animating a hand firmly opening a door handle.

It's crazy how one of the biggest (anime) artists on this platform is actually just tracing AI
When it'll start being noticed by bigger accounts it'll be a collective 9/11 for thousands of people

Also, man, all those beautifully drawn faces and noses... we'll never ever get them again in anime, huh

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.
