Psst, hey.

Hey you.

Come closer.

Listen to what I'm about to say good and well, alright?

So apparently Microsoft laid off HALF of Overwatch’s Environmental Design team (aka the people who design maps, do lighting/shadows, environmental sfx, etc), amidst posting record profits from investing into AI. Writing’s on the fuckin wall lmao

"We do so adore restricted areas, don't we?"

"We shouldn't go in there. Which is exactly why we should. Now take heed. There's a chance we could get caught."

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

Inspired by an argument Rey and Dad were having in the family group chat:

Bonus answer from Mom: “Whatever you like, sweetie, I’ll still love you. Even if you try to grow facial hair again, Force forbid”

You know, when we talk ai art, the common critique is "it's ugly" or the theft, but there's another issue in my mind, even with those removed. For me it can be beautiful, it can be made with open source content, but there's one thing in particular I find missing and that's the journey.

When I see art in a group that's small, I usually boost and read the artists' thoughts, look at the small little details put in because they were having fun with it, ask questions, give my feedback. A lot of the fun is seeing where the passions lie the fun had through the piece.

When art is done through pure ai, you don't get this. What you get instead is a finished piece where the details aren't there because the person was passionate; it's because the ai thinks that it fits the description. Art has always been a form of expression, and as such, seeing the expression removed feels empty; I feel like I'm not getting the full effect.

This is another reason why I tell artists who even use their own art for the system to use it as a tool, not a replacement. Because as a tool, you can correct things, build off it, or use it to help with things you have issues with.

It's like when you take an image into photoshop after you make it, it makes things easier, but you still have work you put in your own little touches here and there. When you go 100% ai you just lose that the details get lost, the care and heart drains away more with each image, especially since it starts referencing itself.

I feel this issue isn't talked about as much as it should be and as a result it kinda doesn't capture the essence of the issue in its entirety.

Somebody just tried to refute my "using AI to finish fanfics is bad" argument by saying fanfiction is the same thing to the official writing💀

In what world is copy/pasting someone's hours of work into a soulless AI generator the same as going "Hey, I really like this piece of literature! To show my love for it, I'm going to make my own little world where it's not over, because I can't bear the thought of this masterpiece being finished already"?

Fanfiction writers put the same amount of love into their work as the original author did because we LOVE what the author created. We actually come up with the stuff we are writing. AI steals authors' and fanfiction writers' words to create a quick, frankly meaningless, ending because it's programed to. It's theft, plain and simple.

If people can't differentiate between the two, we're fucking doomed.

ashurs apology rly makin me go from “mr electric KILL HIM‼️‼️” to “nevermind . kill Me actually”

Something seriously lacking in my art is the ability to tell a story in a single illustration.

I've gotten so used to drawing my characters standing around doing random things that I've never practiced telling a full tale/putting implications into my pieces that require more thinking/looking.

It also comes from a lower amount of details in my works by default [since I like to get pieces done fast], but I'm tired of using that as an excuse.

[beedreamscape]

The ai discourse in fanfic writing only exists because people view fics as products for consumption and not works of art.

The same curse that plagues visual artists, youtubers, musicians, etc etc is starting to creep into fandom circles, because people don't appreciate the art form that is writing as much as they gobble almost mindlessly work after work without absorbing. It's almost like the high of binging a series and being left numb after is done, realizing you didn't savoured the story as much as just simply rushed to the end.

Fic writers will never work as fast as some stupid ai does. It's a labor of love that will, for the great majority, earn us no money or notoriety. The minimum any writer wants is connection and respect.

[ghostie-gengar]

does anybody know if google docs' ai thing is actually going to be taking everyone's stuff to use for prompts without consent? i've heard a lot of rumours about it but i don't wanna go through the trouble of moving all my stuff and deleting it if it's not true

[aeide-thea]

dipping my toe into fandom discourse here, which is never a great idea, but—i really am baffled by the contingent of fans who apparently want AO3 to not only denounce but ban AI-generated works, as if there were any reliable way to distinguish between mediocre writing produced by a human and mediocre writing produced by an AI…?

[alltimefail-sims]

Okay if I see either of those AI-generated Sims 2 posts again I'm going to pluck my own eyeballs out
