Work in progress update? I got out of the habit of taking pictures of what I’m working on, am trying to rectify that so I can remember how I did something when I come back to it 🫠 also am trying something new working on this mini size for a postcard show #drawing #coloredpencil #wip

Well, my main thought is that it is too mid to be destroying labor and the earth for.

There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.

I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.

Thoughts?

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

Hello again #portfolioday! I’m Janelle, an independent artist living near Seattle and my work is focused on the relationship between humans and the natural world, mixed with themes from fairy tales and my childhood. I posted digital work last time, here’s some colored pencil! www.janellelile.com
A colored pencil drawing on paper of a woman with a brown Douglas squirrel sitting on her shoulder and repeating geometric patterns A colored pencil drawing on paper of two hands that overlap, with the color desaturated on the areas that overlap, and a ribbon that connects them which reads “heal, kill, hurt, grow, heart broken and broken” A colored pencil drawing on wood of a hand with a maple seedling growing through the palm and geometry in the background A small colored pencil drawing on wood of a bushtit looking up

Open AI using Ghibli’s signature works to train their models while blatantly exploiting Ghibli’s brand name without Ghibli’s permission?

Yeah I hope Open AI faces steep legal consequences for this affront on everything Miyazaki’s iconic work stands for.

One of the few things I like about snow is going outside and seeing what all the wildlife has been up to 😊 this is a food cache under a stump and Douglas squirrel tracks 👣

When everything feels heavy and dark, I take my camera outside. On a lucky day, I’ll see something as cute as this Douglas squirrel in a sunbeam 💗 #squirrel #douglassquirrel #naturephotography
