The lovely #illuminated border decoration is by the amazing So M Klesen. Her work is stunning!

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Gilding pr0n ❤️✨
When I am working on a big painting that intimidates me, I often take time off doing patterns, especially patterns I know by heart, like this 14th century persian one. It's soothing and helps me think more freely about what I'll do next and that blue is a mix of indigo and spirulin 😁
