If you're an artist coming over from Twitter because of this bullshit they added, first of all:

Really genuinely sorry they fucked you like this & I think it's extremely reasonable to be crashing out HARD right now

Second: I'm gonna offer Bluesky tips and encourage ppl to share starter packs here
Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

CENSORSHIP ONLY HAPPENS UNDER COMMUNISM.

IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED UNDER CAPITALISM. EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. ENJOY CHRISTMAS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

It’s so sad, more and more places outside just use ai for illustrations.
I see so many menus and logos, all ai.
It’s disheartening to see as an illustrator :/

Cook here, I'm about to weigh in on a food service industry issue and speak for my fellow cooks! There's no proof I'm actually a cook, and I might just be cooking my own lunch a few times a week but who cares. Anyways, there's nothing wrong with using crushed concrete instead of salt, cooks LOVE it!

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

always advised ppl to not look at (A)rtsta(I)on too much when looking for inspiration, looking at other mediums and other perspectives historic or cultural or individual origin will produce better designs. Anyway what do I know

this is a good reminder that any good art made under capitalism is luck and happenstance. because artists wanted to make it and were able to sneak it in
December 16, 2025 at 9:11 PM
the goal for CEOs who want this genAI stuff is purely making artists a means to an end. and that end IS the profits they gain off our backs. they don't want *artists*, they want smooth picture rendering machines to make them money.
"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

I keep talking to people who are very anti AI who admit they're fine with it being used ' to brainstorm/ generate ideas', I have to explain very clearly why that's just a terrible idea as generating assets.

People genuinely don't know what concept art is/what concept artists do!
it's all bad but it's disgusting to imply that using genAI for concept art is comparable to placeholder text

Go outside!!! I heard great advice at a Pixar talk once where the presenter said "any chance you can get away from your desk, take it. Go outside, hang out with friends, play a sport, pick up a hobby, do ANYTHING but draw. We draw to evoke life, and you can't do that if you don't know what life is!"

People who argue "who cares it's just for kids" all I can say is fuck right off. Kids deserve thoughtful, well-made movies that challenge them just as much as adults do. Kids aren't stupid, and they remember how movies affect them basically forever.
