Seems a good day to send the badges around again. I made these, & I grant permission to use them anywhere, print or digital, to affirm you did NOT use AI in the part or whole to create your work. YES you can use it for books, slideshows, TTRPGs, etc! Badge set here: www.aimeecozza.com/human-made/

Turned an old #coverart practice into a fully designed book spread, would love to make a few of these for indie authors 👀

no livestream, but I did talk to myself and made you a video. It's really long and rambling, so you'll probably want it on the background while you're drawing or sth
What kind of work is there for a book illustrator today?

Guess we gotta keep up the sentiment that GenAI sucks so that more companies start to feel it.

This thread is your periodic reminder:

If you want to find something, use search.

If you want to make something up, use genAI.

No matter what genAI companies tell you, genAI is not search. Nor is it a suitable search substitute.
Increasingly common library moment:

Clinician emails me "I'm trying to find these articles and I'm not having any luck. Can you help?". Sends list of citations.

I check each of them. Not on the discovery service. I check the specific journals. Pagination in the citation doesn't match.

The ChatGPT summer book reads list in the Chicago Sun-Tribune fills me with dread about how much we’ve already lost and how much we will lose to AI slop. I think about all the little pieces of human writing I care about but maybe most people don’t—museum placards, book flaps, photo captions
