“I asked ChatGPT”- ok well I asked the mycelium and it said to plant more trees and to tell you to return to the forest

This is why I truly believe researching, checking and evaluating sources, branching out into teaching yourself about mundane and complex things is so important They have such little else to take from us, they’re trying to make using your own intelligence harder and behind a paywall Don’t let them

honestly? feeling really discouraged to create much of anything the rest of this year

It absolutely makes sense that men are using AI more and seeing more job benefits, because confidently spouting nonsense in the shape of information (what LLMs are programmed to do) has always been much more of a pathway for career advancement for men than for others.

Being an Auntie is such a privilege. Being an Auntie instead of a Mother is a choice I will keep choosing til I decide otherwise.

live footage of all the ppl who kept asking me if I had prints for sale or if they could commission me as soon as I actually reopen my shop and commissions:

6. Be happy for other creators who are having their moment, if you can. Creating is hard. Getting a moment is rare. So much is about luck and factors you can’t directly control. “Deserve” has so little to do with anything. So when someone catches that ride, cheer them as they go by. Wish them well.

TIL that this dude is an AI artist. (uses generated ref, by their own admission) Shame. I really liked their colors. 😮‍💨 Happy to see @aimod.social was already up to speed tho with the label when I went to unfollow.

If someone's "not interested in art" and yet wants to include art in something they're making, they are in fact "interested in art" 🙃 If you recognise that the visual effect of the right artwork will enhance your project but then use AI to create it, what you actually don't care about is people.

"But what about people who are bad at art? They should have a chance to join in too." Yeah, by making BAD ART. Maybe it'll turn into Good Art with practice. Maybe it'll always be pretty bad art. The idea that we have to appear immediately good at everything even if we have to fake it is a sickness.

If the public transportation continues to be awful and I can’t afford a car, I should be allowed one pony to get me around on my daily errands

listening to music more often this year, especially while creating, has been so cathartic for me after the turbulence of last year

Staring at a person’s laptop covered in outdoorsy/save the environment stickers and then one huge particular AI company sticker and I want to just start throwing over tables in this coffee shop

I love a good floppy leaf. The floppier, the better, am I right??

apropos of nothing but it's funny how certain folks will always try to chase the style of studio ghibli/miyazaki but only on a surface level and never tackle the themes of environmentalism, anti-war, and empathy i.e. the stuff that made those movies masterpieces

I never take it to heart when ppl disagree w my food takes bc the amount of donne I regularly put on my food would kill a yt midwesterner

I miss when websites weren’t all the same and everything wasn’t monetized and everyone had their own little blog and search engines weren’t full of slop and the internet was fun

You hate Disney live action remakes cuz you hate women and minorities I hate Disney live action remakes cuz I hate shallow appeals to nostalgia and the framing of animation as a lesser medium, we are not the same

dudes talking up generative ai like "finally a tool for a mediocre man like me to get credit i dont deserve"

if you like something that target or amazon carries and you still want that product, go to the manufacturer's website and see if you can order it directly from them. it's saved me from giving either of them money, and it's equally as convenient as using the target or amazon apps.

Instead of using ChatGPT, why not just get a family member to lie to you while they set fire to a tree?

I feel like making art is a form of resistance. Because as long as you’re making something beautiful, you’re not letting the regime steal your joy.

thinking abt the giant mushroom tree behind our house. I wanna be tiny and live there so bad

I would live in my home islands in the latte era, around 1450's. I would love to know our pre-contact #Chamorro practices.

the birds are singing so loud this morning and the breeze is warm and it fills me w so much joy to be alive

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but if even if you're not an artist, that goofy meme idea in your head will be a thousand times funnier if you just do a crappy drawing of it yourself vs using generative A.I.

cooking for ECCC

perhaps a drawing doesn't always need to be something extremely innovative, envelope-pushing, technically revolutionary for your art style. perhaps it's enough that it's you.

in the art program. straight up ''drawing it''. and by ''it'', haha, lets just say Nothing

I feel like I have physically and mentally aged about 100 years in the past year

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

I’ve been having another crack at stardew valley and while CA absolutely gets my respect for creating a good game all by himself, I still don’t understand why people act like it’s *the* farming sim

The thing I loath about social media marketing is that it requires you to keep an audience engaged indefinitely. And because the consumption is endless, it makes the content worthless since it only has value in the moment it's consumed. Creating digital grave yards of disposable content.

I’d just like to shout out humans for at least seeing through NFTs as the most idiotic idea possible.

the messed up thing about this app is it’s CRAWLING with AI “artists”. every time one interacts w my art it’s an instant block

Johto region is technically my favorite region but who's your pick? #pokemon
