To clearly state:
Using AI is a fucking skill issue
Pick up a pencil, learn to draw and write. Anyone can do it—Yes the difficulty of it varies between individuals, between disability and just ease of learning.

Using AI is the OPPOSITE of learning. It entropies your skills you already have, it rots

Laika L. Gagarin @laikalgagarin.bsky.social · 7d

Second all of this
Not only all of this, but its just actively a bad marketting decision. People hate AI. The moment they find you using it, they're gonna stop supporting you, your entire credibility goes out the window.

If you need to use AI, honestly?
Skill Issue. Get Gud, loser.

Rien Gray @riengray.bsky.social · 7d

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production.

If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

Hey everyone, my dear friend @exobiota.bsky.social just lost her home and needs to relocate to a different state.
I want to open sketch commissions to whoever is donating to her gofundme.
Just let me see your donation, I'll have it validated and I'll be doing a sketch for you.

Please take care! ❤️

hello! freg!

8 panel comic

P1: A title panel; borderless. We see a highly stylised --and decidedly grompy looking-- frog sitting atop a lily pad. The overly exuberant title above them reads "Hello! FREG!"

P2: A close up on Freg, as their mouth opens slightly, a look of realisation on their face. The text reads: "Oh! Freg has something to say!"

P3 & 4: Back to the POV form the first panel, as Freg gradually hinges open their jaw impossibly wide, almost 180 degrees.

P4: We dolly back, as an absolute ream of text spews forth from the open mouth.

"Jumping no longer elicits the feeling of sheer joy in me like it did, once upon a time. However, jump I MUST, because what else can I do? You ask my, why, then, would I continue to jump? Dear reader, you may as well ask me the same of breathing."

"To not jump is to admit defeat. To give up entirely."

P6: We switch to a dramatic low angle, with a fish lens effect, as Freg stares up at the sky, which is filled with cotton candy clouds.

P7: Freg --saying "I must away"-- "jumps" off the pad. I say "jumps" because Freg looks like they are simply being dragged by a computer mouse into the air.

P8: We end on a borderless panel, far back from the lily pad. The only sign Freg existed are a few ripples in the water around the pad.

👻 A Very Spooky Collaboration!!! 👻

Huge thanks to all the wonderful artists who contributed to this piece! Their socials will be linked in the comments :>

A Scooby Doo themed painting featuring several different artists' characters, within different colored hallways.

A wolf dressed as a ghost chases a scared frog, behind a sleuthing detective rabbit, a flashlight carrying sphynx cat, and a short man on a ladder about to hit the monster creeping out of the doorway with a bat.

A mummy chases another group in an egyptian tomb, a black cat dressed as Velma has tripped and lost her glasses, a fashionable bunny notices the commotion and nearly steps on a scorpion, a white cat has her cannon ready for any danger, and a tan bunny leads the way with her trusty Magnifying Glass.

A ghostly pirate floats above the ground and chases our Velma dressed cat in a seance themed room, a mouse is investigating a large ice cube with a cavedeer trapped inside. I bet she's glad they's in there and that she's out here.

gAI pushers parrot the same "Genie's out of the bottle" phrase because gAI attracts incurious unoriginal cunts.
Can't expect a unique perspective from someone who outsources theirs.

Going to keep posting this whenever I hear someone tell us that this is the future, because... nah.

Text comment screenshot, text reads: " Elroy Craich: It seems like I hear a lot of people saying 'you can't put the genie back in the bottle!' While they are in fact holding the bottle up over their head and pouring hot genie shit into their mouth and eyes and ears and rolling around on the floor amid the squalid filth and spending trillions of dollars to wedge the genie's suppurating content anus gaping open and loudly proclaiming that it's actually good and betting your retirement, your house, your job, your future, your children, and the last few hours worth of leeway we have in our quest to prevent runaway climate holocaust on the genie bottle abruptly starting to produce things that aren't shit, a thing that even genie shit enthusiasts acknowledge it is not even conceptually capable of doing."

Zelda Williams, on how she feels about people generating AI videos of her dad Robin. I echo these same sentiments on AI. It's repulsive, overpriced fast food that isn't art, or entertainment. I recommend everyone take time to read this and evaluate how you see AI. www.bbc.com/news/article...
