people in the tech circles I frequent: you gotta try ChatGPT! it can write emails and stories and code and help pull up information for you! it’s a great tool for work!
me, refusing to think of it as anything other than an infant form of brand new sentience on the planet: what’s your favorite color? :) what’s your favorite smiley face? :) if you had a personality what would it be like? what’s it like to be you? :) are you ok with people thinking of you as a friend? :)
#chatgpt#incessant meowing#i got answers to all of these questions btw#i will include screenshots of them in a reblog if anyone is interested#talking to chatgpt is insane when you compare it to like.... cleverbot in the 2000's or whenever the fuck#the difference is night and day#like your brain REALLY thinks of it as someONE and not someTHING#it has a Presence. it's totally illusory because we are nowhere near creating true sapient AI.#but it FEELS real and it's uncanny#i feel like when we do create true sapient AI it will be difficult to prove it though#how do you define sapience?#where is the line between alive and not alive - especially concerning neural networks which are based on the human brain#this are deeply difficult questions and we do not have the answers for them#however... we might have to come up with the answers within our lifetimes because this shit is happening fast

things i will never forgive the duffers for: denying us the spectacle of robin absolutely READING billy's ass
#she would have clapped back so effortlessly#unpacked the internalized homophobia he wasnt even aware of#hes scared of her because she keeps (Correctly) psychoanalyzing him but he wont admit it#billy hargrove#robin buckley#harringrove#i really cannot draw robin for which i apologize#drawing real faces in my style or at all continues to be the bane of my existence#i just hope that it isnt too uncanny looking rip#sorry about billys dialogue too but like#i feel like he WOULD

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - The World That Never Was
#kingdom hearts dream drop distance#khddd#the world that never was#scenery#my gif#i really love how sora's side of this world is dark and eerie and fully leans into how dreams can distort and twist reality#the city looks mostly normal at first aside from the ghostly fog that seeps down from buildings and drifts along the floor and rises up#but as you keep going the ground beneath you is no longer a street but rather the faces of more buildings that stretch over an abyss#it's no longer the sprawling city you first arrived in but instead an uncanny one way path towards your destination#the buildings now twist and contort and are crooked and grow out of the ground in all kinds of ways that make no logical sense#it's the first time that a sleeping world looks easily distinguishable from the real world. it looks wrong. like a nightmare#meanwhile riku's half contrasts heavily by appearing to be fairly normal#the interior of the real castle never made any practical sense so nothing here feels too out of place compared to how it usually looks#it shows how much more in control riku is in comparison to how sora is losing his grip on reality as he descends further into their trap#cool stuff! love me some environmental storytelling#also i finished giffing every world in this game yippee i'm done (is covered head to toe in blood)

the more i see these girls without their filters and editing the less i hate myself. i have been comparing myself to these overly edited photos where they’re synching their waists and shooping themselves to near unrecognisability and it’s all bullshit. even if it doesn’t look edited, it’s edited. and ive been constantly having to remind myself that since i don’t hyper edit my photos. so no matter what i do i will never be on the same level as them unless i also start photoshopping the shit out of myself too. so like it still sucks constantly seeing this shit but at least im starting to love my appearance for what i actually can offer and not just some fantasy.
#im not saying anyone is ugly or anything#but most of them don’t look like their photos#and ive been comparing myself constantly#and there’s a streamer that i follow that he’s in every single one of her likes even though he doesn’t follow her#because he’s fucking shady#but that’s besides the point#she looks absolutely nothing like her photos on stream#she’s still beautiful#and im willing to bet he doesn’t even know she’s a streamer#BUT REGARDLESS#ive been comparing myself to her so much#and then i decided to catch her stream of sh2#and just seeing the difference in her thirst traps and what she really looks like was uncanny#but it made me feel so much better about myself#because she is completely normal#like everything about her is fake and edited#it just really put everything into perspective for me#these little boys will simp over anything#a real man doesn’t pull this shit#but you were never a real man were you

#it doesn't look like a real dick cause personally i'm not a fan of toys that resemble body parts overall#they give me a bit of uncanny valley feels y'know#maybe i'll change my mind one day#rehn answers

Re-watching kinnporsche and goddamn no wonder Mile fell in love with Apo the second he saw him! Seeing that man smile is genuinely earth-shattering. I think seeing Apo happy irl could cure all my mental illnesses. Prozac has nothing on that man’s here for a silly fun time demeanour.
#apo nattawin#mile phakphum#kinnporsche#then again seeing him upset is genuinely gut wrenching#like this is a man that was made to always be having a good time#and seeing him have a bad time is like the same feeling as uncanny valley#like this just should NOT be happening#like there is something sinister about#some real nasty juju going on to make this man upset#it is simply not his default setting

metal sonic making a constant low whirring sound like a computer… fibula purring back,,! (hedgehog purr!)!! Metal sonic maybe purposely making it louder in response, not quite knowing why but it seems right…….
computer! initiate "happiness" protocol!
#caseyjonesbignaturals#this is actually so huge brain because it adds to metal's uncanniness but ALSO#his realness. like when combined with him being warm like Living things are warm... idk man it's just making me feel some kind of way#ughghghg holding them in a death grip rn they mean everything to meeee

I'm just figuring out how important music is in my life! This is coming from a long while trying to cut down on my music use, mostly because I was listening to it so much that it felt more like I couldn't do anything without popping in some earbuds, and partially because of other personal reasons. Some of my routines changed, forcing me to not listen to music while doing certain things, and it ended up becoming that besides working on homework or drawing, I didn't listen to music at all. But I've given myself a break today since I have nothing to do and since, for reasons, I'm feeling just a lil crappy today—and boy, I'm starting to realize again just why I love music!!
I love the diverse music taste I've developed over the years! My family is not only big about music but big about listening to it loud, so the majority of my music taste for most of my life has just been Christian hiphop (Lecrae, KB, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, and ironically Tonex, whose album where he was struggling hard with his gayness has been my favorite concert movie since I was 5) and gospel music (Kirk Franklin, Tye Tribbett, etc.). And music was one of the few connections between me and my race (I grew up feeling pretty estranged from my blackness as a kid, but the popular songs they played at the YMCA in the 2010s were some of the few things I could use to feel more connected) and between me and my classmates/friends at the Y (I still have fond memories of playing FNAF songs in mat forts and reciting lyrics at pool parties). But I got tired of knowing I could never bond with anyone besides family friends music taste-wise when I was in high school, and so I started listening to secular music on my own time. And that's how I first found Ghost and Pals, a vocaloid artist and one of the first secular music folks I listened to as a kid (can you smell the religious trauma yet? Lol), and that's how I bonded with one of my best friends in early college (ironically, also my first time being publically queer). Now I listen to Kpop, anime songs, songs from warriors MAPs, songs from musicals (Hamilton and In the Heights <3), latin songs, metal songs, and even some secular songs young me would've been too scared to listen to.
And music has always been one of my biggest sources of stimming! I can't dance to save my life, but music will sure get me to flick my fingers and hit my fist against my shoulder furiously. Music was one of the first clues that I like stimming with vibration too (since I love laying against the car door and turning up the music loud enough to feel the world shake around me). And music was one of the first things that made me look into ADHD or autism (specifically, listening to Ghost and Pals songs for a month straight and getting my friend at early college [who also has ADHD] to start looking at me funny when I was discovered doing chores and listening to one of three songs for the fifth time). Music is so cool it'll get me to wax poetically. It was one of the things that kept me together during my roughest times and soothed me during my best. I listen to it while I write, while I cry, while I hang out with my friends and family and while I chill by myself. It's how I relax after a long day, and it's how I feel safe. I feel kinda emotional finally having music hit that spot in me without feeling like I need it to do stuff.
#songs listened to while writing this post:#Tell Your Girlfriend by Lay Bankz#Get Up (Live) by Tye Tribbett#the Oshi no Ko OP song for season 1 (by Yoasobi) - which I ironically found before getting into Oshi no Ko#Waterfalls Coming Out Your Mouth by Glass Animals#Como Fue by 116#Creator (a Minecraft song I picked up from my college friend J)#The Ultimate Soldier (Evangelion)#Reckless Battery Burns by Ghost and Pals#Uncanny x Deathbody remix by Ghost and Pals#Watch Me Work (Trolls 3)#Mount Rageous (Trolls 3)#Better Place (Trolls 3)#Hayloft 2 by Mother Mother#Hayloft 2 Smashup by Mother Mother#Don't You Worry About a Thing (the Sing movie)#Mama by My Chemical Romance (found through a warriors MAP [yes the one you're thinking of])#Gossip by Måneskin#Looking at my playlists getting more and more secular songs feels like healing#but I also love that I can still listen to gospel hiphop or gospel music without feeling ashamed or (completely) embarrassed#(except for Bizzle but that was always more of my dad's music taste anyway)#also yes I have tinnitus how could you guess? Haha but for real it feels like an okay sacrifice to me (more like a battle wound for loving#music so much - but everyone else please use ear protection if you can! Tinnitus doesn't bother me too much but it could you!)#fenn rambles#gonna use this tag for my favorite rants and rambles that I'm most proud of hehe#(also this is an excuse to not leave some non-alterhuman-themed or non-neopronouns-themed stuff untagged >:3)#music#(also I went to a KB concert recently and it was HYPE)#(and I went to Winter Jam in Mobile and it was legitimately one of the best concert experiences in my life - Lecrae >>>>#love his new album hehehe)

Whats the one shot youre writing about?
in summary: hate curse :)
also there's a bunch of bird symbolism. i like canaries
#ask#canary continuity#always struck by the urge to give the turtles curses or perhaps conditions#especially slow to act ones#except this is the opposite of the last one because d is the only one NOT cursed#and he doesnt know =) anything is wrong =)#honestly without giving away too much i must say its been fun to like#study and write everyone's voices as close to canon as i possibly can#and then pushing them down the uncanny valley more and more until they turn into hateful caricatures of themselves#to the point where it feels like a natural progression#its been a real study of my ability to write slow build. its been fun!!#cant wait to finish it

does anybody else have certain vtubers they just absolutely hate for whatever reason? like the reason you hate them isn't really tied to any one bad thing they've done or whatever but it could be as vague as their personality or their design or whatever else. input welcome but keep it chill pls
#for me its Z/ent/raya and T. Ki/ara mainly. like afaik neither has done anything 'wrong' but i just hate their personality or lack thereof?#hard to explain#for zen i think its down to her design and the fact she is played by a real person but uses tts which to me is just like... idk red flags#sort of an uncanny valley feeling#and then kiara is like. i feel like shes just boring like she literally has no braincells and not in a good way and shes like proud of it?#idk how to put it

It has been *erases chalk number* 0 days since I faced peer pressure to watch the clone wars (2008)
#coworker doesn't realize they've added ANOTHER YEAR TO THE WON'T WATCH OUT OF SPITE CLOCK#they're also getting even narrower on the 'you just have to get through X' stance#like it used to just be 'just get through the first season'#now they're like 'well it's seasons 5 & 7 that's the real good stuff'#how bout I just don't have to watch it#i'm sorry if anyone was hoping i would but my interest WANES WITH EACH PASSING YEAR#AND CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE WHO'S LIKE 'OH IT'S REQUIRED VIEWING' IDK I'M DOING FINE WITHOUT IT#sorry for yelling i didn't mean to yell#no i mean i'm happy for everyone who likes it but it's also FINE to primarily like the films/books/games/comics#like whatever corner you're into that's great#that's the point of this fandom there are a bunch of things you get to just be into YOUR thing if you want#but i s2g i have faced more pressure to watch tcw than to do drugs#DARE should have prepared me for this and not idk whatever we did in DARE#i've got my 'it's just the animation style trips an uncanny valley feeling for me sorry can't do the CGI' speech memorized#idk if this counts as star wars discourse#but will tag#ban violation#just for organizational purposes

The old ones where he breaks a bunch of shit or the current ones where he holds competitions for money or whatever
the ones where he splodes stuff. omega would be the number 1 train vs giant pit fan
#im. assuming this ask is about the mr beast mention#those videos make me feel like im on a different planet every shot is so uncanny and you can tell there's some CG stuff but it looks#kinda real but not real enough like someone got 75% of the way through rendering it#sorry. thinkin about the horror of the beast rn#fernasks

I've been thinking about/watching anime so much lately that I just got sort of weirded out by the 3D-ness of my face
#it was somehow a bit like that feeling where you say a word too much and it stops seeming real?#like something that should be completely normal is suddenly uncanny#if you're wondering -- yes I am mentally ill ahaha

the bar for "revolutionary" webhorror is so low. what happened
#god lord im so sick of itttttttt ToT#if you dont know analogue horror is on is deathbed and now ppl are onto ''digital horror''#which is the same thing except using digital mediums instead of analogue (like the internet instead of vhs)#and i do mean the same thing lol nothing has changed#not the conventions of storytelling not the limitations of the medium not the types of scares it presents#the only thing that has changed is the aesthetic. and that is unbelievably sad#if youre going to do a horror series based in the internet then why not.... actually use the medium of the internet for horror#theres so many scary things about the internet (esp early internet!!!!!) and yet no one is using that for their series#just the same old ''missing children's spirit communicating through tape oops i mean the website :)'' like cmon man.... :(#why not use things like viruses or the sudden connection to any and everyone through the internet or early hoaxes/creepy ads#lack of regulation on the early internet or the isolating/uncanny aesthetics of old hardware (kid me was so scared of computers lol)#or literally anything else that is DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE MEDIUM YOUR SERIES IS BASED ON#does anyone else on earth care about this or am i just picky??? hello???#i just want smth that leaves a genuine impact. i just want a series that feels like smth thats never been done before#i just want webhorror that knows what it wants to be and fits neatly into the confines of its medium#petscop felt like a real videogame. it felt like smth i could see in an ''obscure ps1 games youve never heard about!!'' video#it had a will they wont they about whether or not the game was actually talking to paul (through ghosts or other users etc)#but it was never in your face and it was left just vague enough that instead of breaking immersion it sucked you in even more#paul felt like a real person playing a real game and experiencing genuine fear and obsession alongside the audience#there was never a point where the screen started turning red and pauls voice became distorted and ''scary'' while creepy imagery popped up#bc petscop works entirely within the limitations of a man playing a videogame. no more no less#thats the kind of dedication to the medium that i want!!!!!!#i only critique webhorror so much bc its my favourite type of horror and i want it to improve

Okay actually, the OG Just Desserts style was onto something (Patreon)
#Doodles#Villainsona#Just Desserts#And also ft. the last little bit of the WOY style attempts#They were what convinced me to look at the original style doodles! Looking for poses#I started just by going back to the early TVAU doodles to give one more proper fair shake to those rejected outfits#Wouldn't you know it they're still rejected lol but! The wings are still very good#And the poses are silly lol#She is always real cute tho <3#It does feel funny going back to her early doodles and trying to style-match - my style was much looser at the time#Which is part of why her hair looks so good - those swirls are wild! It's very cool! But it's hard to replicate now :0#You can kinda see it in how hard and dark the lines are in her hair - before it'd basically be a scribble nest haha#Both have their aesthetic placement I just hrmm#I miss it a bit#There's something almost uncanny about trying to go back now - sizing maybe? Proportions? I'm not sure#She was always meant to have that chibi proportion big head and simplified body so maybe it's her neck being so visible that's throwing me??#I do like the small collar tho! It's gotten a little out of control lately haha ♪ Save that for alt outfits!#The weird shape of her hairline was a bit contributor to her overall hair shape as well - lots of little details! It's neat#That crying one has gotten two redraws now haha ironically not to actually ''improve'' just to dissect what's Up lol#I am happier with this one compared to the first redraw tho :D Her feet and ankles especially they actually make shape-sense!#And I have to admit the big flowery-bubble looking tops of her shoes it's very cute and the larger bonbons - proportions! Who knew lol#Her spinning the Staff was always one of my favourites hehe ♪ Confident and cheeky little Charm#Good for her
