Artfight attack of Malaire for @abdl-hazfan

This was so fun to draw🧡 never had to draw fire hair before, so that was definitely a new experience 😅

[atticusse]

Just updated my character profile for carmine on artfight! Really need to start posting more about him on here 😅

I did a similar thing with romeo and juliet when I was in school because I'd missed a lot of content and the best way that I caught up was by reading analysis and summary posts on student forums and it was a complete lifesaver.

Yes it was cheating in a way but I still had to use my brain to form my own opinions on quotes taken from the script and put those ideas and explanations down in my own words ,which still took text analysis skills to do.

With chatgpt you DONT LEARN ANYTHING ,you don't do any analysis for yourself. Chatgpt doesn't teach you anything because you aren't taking any of the subject material in like you would by doing your own analysis and expanding on your interpretation.

By using chatgpt and other ai as an academic, you are setting yourself up for failure.

Whenever I think about students using AI, I think about an essay I did in high school. Now see, we were reading The Grapes of Wrath, and I just couldn't do it. I got 25 pages in and my brain refused to read any more. I hated it. And its not like I hate the classics, I loved English class and I loved reading. I had even enjoyed Of Mice and Men, which I had read for fun. For some reason though, I absolutely could NOT read The Grapes of Wrath.

And it turned out I also couldn't watch the movie. I fell asleep in class both days we were watching it.

This, of course, meant I had to cheat on my essay.

And I got an A.

The essay was to compare the book and the movie and discuss the changes and how that affected the story.

Well it turned out Sparknotes had an entire section devoted to comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. Using that, and flipping to pages mentioned in Sparknotes to read sections of the book, I was able to bullshit an A paper.

But see the thing is, that this kind of 'cheating' still takes skills, you still learn things.

I had to know how to find the information I needed, I needed to be able to comprehend what sparknotes was saying and the analysis they did, I needed to know how to USE the information I read there to write an essay, I needed to know how to make sure none of it was marked as plagerized. I had to form an opinion on the sparknotes analysis so I could express my own opinions in the essay.

Was it cheating? Yeah, I didn't read the book or watch the movie. I used Sparknotes. It was a lot less work than if I had read the book and watched the movie and done it all myself.

The thing is though, I still had to use my fucking brain. Being able to bullshit an essay like that is a skill in and of itself that is useful. I exercised important skills, and even if it wasnt the intended way I still learned.

ChatGTP and other AI do not give that experience to people, people have to do nothing and gain nothing from it.

Using AI is absolutely different from other ways students have cheated in the past, and I stand by my opinion that its making students dumber, more helpless, and less capable.

However you feel about higher education, I think its undeniable that students using chatgtp is to their detriment. And by extension a detriment to anyone they work with or anyone who has to rely on them for something.

Tried to lock in for uni deadlines on Sunday, first thing I do this morning is bust my ribs 💀

[atticusse]

Gonna be a bit inactive cause it's the last few days of uni and im in second year(every second leading up until the end is going to be spent catching up on the last few bits) so it's gonna be a bit of a dead spot for now. I'll post some of my uni work after it's marked cause I don't feel like referencing myself if I post it now 😭 thanks for the love given to the hellsing post, I didn't think it would get THAT much attention but it means a lot.

🧡🧡🧡

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

REST IN PISS to my 254 day streak on duolingo.

On a serious note, I'm really disappointed with choices they've made relating to ai and I've been thinking about deleting the app for the past few months cause the quality of the lessons are just poor at this point.

Learning language is about human connection. Ai can't replicate that.

PSA

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

Hey, to everyone who sent in a drawing request and to those who liked those last couple of posts, thank you so much. I'm glad people like them.

At the moment, there might be a bit of wait for those who have sent in asks due to some medical stuff I'm going through at the moment but after Friday (I have a pretty serious hospital appointment 😮‍💨) everything should be going to back to normal and I can get to work on and post those drawings I'm working on. 🧡

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Was doing some quick hat practice cause I got an request to draw ace from one piece, TURNS OUT hats are so hard to draw. And since I'm on a bit of a hellsing kick atm I decided best way to practice was to draw alucard.
