That’s relatable, I thought it was just me that was ‘eh’ but it’s just…kinda tiring to be alive as a creative sometimes, now kinda worse

It was my dream ever since I was 8

What the fuck are we even doing here

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

Was gonna ask if you used Hunter as a ref because her face is so recognisable and then I saw your last comment

Super cool

Happy Juneteenth for my American followers and happy belated Youth day to my South Africans

Every Juneteenth, I like to take the financial support I receive on this day to buy myself a little treat—often in the form of a new vinyl record, but there's a purse I've been eyeballing for the past two years I wouldn't mind finally getting 😂😂

Links are below in the og post! Thank you! ✨💖

I would like to try clip studio but trying it for the first time is very daunting. I enjoy texture in my art so does anyone have recommendations for good pencil brushes. Good for sketching like a real pencil and colouring too

my book that I made I mean, not just some random book haha

Livio today…Razlo tomorrow (I’m drawing)

Livio…

I get this. After 10 years it gets a bit much, but what else is there

I wish everything could just calm down

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Greedy corporation vs entitled techbros this is like endgame

Illustration of Annie from sinners holding her baby in a embroidered white dress. She is standing in a lake near plants and tree branches. She is looking down at her baby happily with her mouth open, as if humming or singing a song to her.
