I always find some beautiful pieces of clothing in charity shops that just need the slightest amount of repair work or alteration. It's really irritating to me that people are unwilling to do even the minimum of effort like taking the piece of a repair shop.
You are not the first and you will not be the last to inform me of the release of this delightful project. XD
However looking into Zack London makes the use of AI quite clear, and I have to say, it makes me dissapointed. Storytelling should be undertaken by people who want to truly express themselves, not leave the art of imagination to a bundle of regurgitative circuits.
It took me 3, then I went hunting for proof.
A screenshot of text on a black background. Every story is imagined, written and directed by humans. AI is just our force multiplier; the ingridient technology that empowers oursmall creative team to deliver serialized worlds at cinematic scale without the constraints of legacy studioes. Founded by Zack London, Gossip Goblin is backed by investors behind multiple billion dollar exits. We are proving that creator-led studios can move faster, build deeper mythologies, and own the IP that defines the next era of storytelling.
But acutally finding that out was an excercise in detective work. The channel makes no direct mention of it. There's no disclosures for it and the website for the channel only has this on it:
YouTube recommended me a short film called The Patchwright today. I spent the entire time I was watching it wondering why it felt wierd. All the scenes were cut really short, the dialogue made very little sense, character visuals seemed to lose or gain detail randomly. Turns out it was made using AI
*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
What do people do when they run headlong into writers block? I've been hammering my head against this because I have a hard time writing any way other than linearlly.
I have a sudden temptation to start titling my chapters Prolgues Number X, then halfway through the book put a single section marked Chapter 1 and then the rest would be Epilogue Number X.
The photo is a screenshot of a tweet from an account called "Prep Propaganda." It reads: "Young right wing men in France during the 1980’s wore tassel loafers as an outwardly preppy aesthetical statement of conservative principles against their socialist government" The tweet carries an attached photo, showing someone wearing white trousers, navy socks, and snuff colored tassel loafers. They are sitting in a leather chair that's on top of an old rug, telegraphing a kind of online "Old Money" aesthetic.
the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions
Hi There! I'm a voice actor! I have voiced many projects for free! If you pitch me your project and I like the sound of it, I will probably be more than happy to participate and provide my voice, simply for credit!
If you put AI anywhere near any project I'm a part of I will drop you like a stone!
An excellent analysis on the problems that have haunted the NHS and been inserted like wedges to destroy morale and gatekeep Trans healthcare. Once again, the team at Philosophy Tube is letting the press of truth thunder down the street.
The list is as racist, homophobic/transphobic and misogynistic as you'd expect of a school book ban. Of course it was "AI-written," adding an extra layer of awful
And... there were 2 Terry Pratchett books on it
So: Discworld fans, assemble? 🐢
Trans folks desperately trying to warn everyone that the so-called gender critical movement was coming for reproductive rights for years, I'd been detailing links between them and US anti-abortion groups only for it to be ignored and it burned me out, but look, it's exactly what we all warned about:
You shall end up triangular Billy. Like a Dorito. With muscles.
I hate AI so much.
So. Much.
Please stop trying to make me use AI.
I will never use your ChatGPT, your Copilot, your Grok 🤮
I will die on this hill.
It is unethical. It is error prone. It is predatory. It is destroying us.
I hate it. I hate it all. I will hate it forever.

“Frameworks permitting routine exclusion or discretionary verification of sex based on appearance or stereotypes would raise serious concerns under international human rights law”

Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.
AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.
The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.

I have to applaud the people at Microsoft. I have only seen this sheer amount of stupidity on display once before, and it currently exudes of America's leadership.

NEW. This is an elementary girls school in the city of Hormozgan in Iran.
In the last hour, it was hit by a US/Israeli missile attack.
So far, 24 young girls are confirmed dead [SOURCE: Al Jazeera].
The US has just committed a war crime.

If you're on Firefox, there's already an extension with extraordinary cutomisability that puts it back the way it should be. Mind you, I use more extensions than should really be necessary to get YouTube into a usable state for me.
Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Isn't it wonderful, when the motivation, energy and inspiration to actually DO things hits you four hours into trying to fall asleep?
It's great to be saddled with the knowledge that in the morning i'll be too tired to do anything, and my brain too foggy to remember anything.
This post is going around again so I will add this excellent resource: leavesubstack.com
“But wehhh, I have to use AI to make my storyyy”
I just dropped a 60-page Garfield manga featuring all 118 current periodic table elements, which I researched individually for each design. AI’s NEVER going to give you that and I require way less water
