I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses
whenever folks talk about harry potter and separating artist from art they always have this indignant 'OH SO IM A BAD FOR BUYING THESE BOOKS?' but thats not the real issue. the reality is that many will BELIEVE you are bad, and that is VALID. its not your choice what others think of you
Watercolor painting based on the beach at Picnic Point, Washington. A sunset lights the sky in orange while dark clouds blot most of the sky. A green dragon with orange wings flies overhead. The beach is mostly sand, driftwood logs in the foreground. Text reads kamakru.com
I'm so pleased to find that my piece "Skyfire Flight" will be included in the Infected By Art volume 14 annual!
It's an honor to be included among so many amazing artists ๐

A stencil of a young person in checkered trousers and a patterned shirt standing against a weathered, two-tone wall. The figure has one arm raised toward large, hand-painted black text that reads "PEOPLE DONT PRETEND TO BE DEPRESSED THEY PRETEND TO BE HAPPY." The wall shows visible signs of age and grime, giving the artwork a raw, urban feel.

This little runner is passing by a very big message. Being happy is sometimes a mask we wear. The white paint on the word happy really makes it pop. Check in on your friends!
Seems to be accurate now.
Don't forget that you have many alternatives!

One more reason my soul shrivels up every time I hear someone say "I just used chatgpt to ____"
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
itโs come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so Iโm posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.
suddenly reminded of the time i was earnestly explaining the appeal of the takarazuka revue to a very proper, very elderly british lady and she stops me and says sweetly, 'i know, dear. i went to a girls' school'

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 canโt do things weโve been doing since the dawn of time.

Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if thatโs true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?
โi have to use AI because iโm bad at drawingggg ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญโ
โAI is ok as long as itโs not taking anyoneโs jobโ and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that itโs a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? โitโs sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realisticโ no I donโt. Eat my shit and hair

They keep getting away with this shit cause they have a grip on our heartstrings and our childhoods, and use that to empty our wallets. Absolute scum behavior I'm tired of it!!!!!

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.
It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

this is age-old discourse, i can't believe i'm seeing someone say this sincerely in 2025. this is a fake problem located entirely within a specific type of fandom. there is plenty of non-gay art about male friendship and being gay continues to be much more stigmatized than "men being friends"
a guy holds out his phone and says โi love this app that lets you virtually pet a dogโ another guy looks concerned and says: โdon't they send 17 trillion dollars to israel every yearโ
idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple
