I've been in a creative slump lately, so forgive the halfassiness of my #brushweek2025 contributions. I polled for which character I should draw, then had to break a three-way tie. (Lettusu is a brand new joke OC.)
A low-effort drawing of a cabbit (imaginary cat/rabbit hybrid) superimposed on an equally lazily drawn moon. Exclusively uses colors picked from fourleafisland's Cosmic Brush. A low-effort drawing of a cabbit (imaginary cat/rabbit hybrid) in the style of the Five Nights at Freddy's plushies. Exclusively uses colors picked from fourleafisland's Plushie Brush. A marginally higher effort drawing of a cabbit (imaginary cat/rabbit hybrid) wearing a straw hat and overalls. They cradle a basket of Napa cabbages in their arms. Exclusively uses colors picked from fourleafisland's Garden Brush. A low-effort drawing of a cabbit (imaginary cat/rabbit hybrid), sopping wet. Loosely based on other artists' renditions of wet, miserable cats. Exclusively uses colors picked from fourleafisland's Clean Brush.

The only silver lining to AI poisoning everything is that shitty drawings like mine, which were already charming in their shitty way, are now even more charming because obviously some ding dong made them, NOT a computer.

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.
