Doing a reintroduction since it's been a while, I’m Olivia, Hob, or Moth, a cleanup artist and animator on a few things you may have seen

Just as fair warning, I mostly post original art of my characters that leans into the uncanny, body-horror, and definitively queer with underlying adult themes

This movie rocked! (Also now any ghost movies I see will cause me to think a team of other ghosts are helping a haunting)

Watched Dead Talents Society with my roommates tonight, and we had an absolute blast! Def recommend if you like ghosts and found families nonsense

With every new social media update-thing, the more I want to just do a substack or some kind of email update thing so I can share my art with my friends and whoever is interested and just move my personal-art work more offline. I just don’t find much joy posting online in the current environment

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like.
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

the idea that 'ones' is more feature animation and 'twos' is television is a very reductive way of explaining animation quality and leads people to thinking that fluidity exists in the amount of drawings something has instead of proper timing, spacing and body mechanics.
