It's genuinely confusing why, over and over again, organizations that cater to, or are dependent upon, artists writers and creators decide to absolutely fucking enrage their constituency with "AI," only to be required to backtrack after considerable loss of goodwill
San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

My recent enjoyment of Persona 5 Tactica inspired me to develop my Persona AU characters some more. Gave them all casual outfits.

I don't often post my #sketchbook work, but it definitely shows the contrasts in my style.
On the one hand, unflattering caricatures of a repugnant British political figure. On the other hand, cute cartoon girls.

Happy New Year, BlueSky fam!
I've not been as active on here as I'd like, but I plan to change that this year. Please bear with me as I get myself together.

I think one of my new year's resolutions will be to post art more often. Kind of neglected it lately as I've been making changes in my life.

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

I've got a better idea:
Get rid of CEOs.
Companies would save millions, production cycles would run like clockwork, and the PR team wouldn't have to run damage control for fuckwit statements like this.

I’m sick to death of this AI obsession. We’re turning into a pathetic excuse of a society, barely able to think for ourselves. We’re addicted to fast food versions of EVERYTHING: food, clothes, shows, books, art, music

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.
