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.

I've been in a constant stress for a couple of weeks now. There has been so many new and stressful situations that have completely swooped me off my comfort zone. I really hope easier times are just around the next corner. 😮‍💨
Wishing you all a nice upcoming week!

tormented by love! 💘

A digital illustration depicting a woman dressed in medieval princess attire surrounded by pink ribbon and cartoon-like illustrations of cupids and angels. The woman has her hands up and is looking up in despair while crying. The cupids are aiming arrows at her, and the angels, depicted as white birds with red faces, circle around her.

I redrew some old ahh characters that I used to draw religiously in 2013-2015. The choices I made with their designs back then were.. questionable but oh man this was fun!

Thank you to all of you who check out the weekly comic updates and like and repost the promo posts!! 💓I wish I had more time to be active online and put more effort into my posts but just making the comic itself takes so much time that I often find myself a bit tired to do anything "extra"

A little less than two years worth of development in art. 💫 This year I finally figured out a way to make rendering feel more natural and easier for me, I'm so happy about that. It has motivated me to finish more drawings and practice coloring and rendering more than ever.

Sorry for the silence over here on blsky. 😅 Life's been so busy and my mind has been occupied with big things so drawing and being active here hasn't been high on my priority list. Hopefully I'll have more time to be active here soon.
Here are some wips! 💫
