One of the things I love that I did for Battar is his eyes.
The eyelid movement makes him looks more lively.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

@forgoodcode
Every Windows 11 PC is now an Al
PC with Copilot at the center of
it all.
Here's how to get rid of Copilot
completely from your computer
(1/3)

ABI Bouhmaida
@forgoodcode
1/ Settings App
> Personalization
> Taskbar
> Other System Tray Icons
> Switch "Microsoft 365 Copilot App" Off
This hides Copilot from your
taskbar

$(9) ABI Bouhmaida @forgoodcode 2/ Press Win + R > Type in ‘regedit’ > Navigate to "HKEY _CURRENT_USER\ Software \ Policie s\Microsoft\ Windows" > Right-click on the "Windows" Key > New > Key > Name the new key "WindowsCopilot’ > Right-click on the new key EY > DWORD (32-bit) Value$ @forgoodcode
3/
> Name the value
"TurnOffWindowsCopilot’
> Double-click the name of the value
> Set the "Value Data" to 1
> Restart your computer
Congrats! Copilot is now completely
gone from your computer.
Hope this helps

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Edit of the Snatcher intro text. Green text against a background now reads "This story is dedicated to all those cyberpunks who reject GenAI and commission extremely niche pornography from real artists every day of their lives.

"Nelv Atop the Dark Watcher"
A painting I made for Feral Flame, Book 4 of the Noss Saga (releasing November 11!!!)
#NossSaga #Illustration

A snow leopard stands proudly atop the ruins of an ancient lighthouse, its hollow circular base all that remains standing. The golden sunset gilds the felid, the top of the ruins, and the distant pillowy clouds. The sky is twilight teal with hints of stars appearing. The shadows are dense and purple and hide pockets of snow in them.

God I love it when someone owes you money and promises to pay back a certain amount one said day, and then find you at work when you’re tryna leave and always have an excuse why they can’t pay you back.
Don’t you just love that oddly specific scenario? Just me?? Damn…
