This is just going to keep happening and getting worse. And I don't really have a great solution for it.

People are going to hurt a lot of artists with AI accusations even when they use traditional methods.

I've already been guilty of this a few times. There was a guy posting product photos and saying it was his "first time" trying the genre. I told him it was AI because it takes months or years to get to that level. But then he showed me his RAW photos. It wasn't until later I realized saying you are a "beginner" when you aren't is a common tactic to get more likes on a post.

In the photo contest I entered I saw this entry from another photographer...

I looked up his work and this is just his style. For some reason this model's facial proportions combined with the photographer's surreal editing style made it seem uncanny valley to me.

I kick myself every time I fall into this trap. Because several of my more surreal Photoshop manipulations were accused of looking like AI. And it really felt sucky.

The AI "detectors" I've used are all shite. Until they can explain exactly how they detected something might be AI, there is no way to trust the results.

But also, using AI tools to help create art is vastly different from being a prompt "artist." I don't think my photos should be flagged just because I upscaled them or erased a bush or some power lines.

One suggestion I've seen is artists recording their editing process on every image. I don't have the energy for that.

What a mess.

Es lo bueno de comprar cintas métricas chinas: que puedes elegir el tamaño de centímetro que más te convenga

Luego que las medidas no encajan.

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

This kind of AI videos make me feel sick. Maybe I could monetize this, like a character in a William Gibson novel.

In Spain, "El Autocar" would be a magazine about buses.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

Cervantes’ masterpiece Don Quixote was first published #onthisday in 1605. It would become one of the best-loved and most frequently illustrated books in the history of literature. Read more in Rachel Schmidt’s essay “Picturing Don Quixote” — https://t.co/qlv2ckOr7Y #OTD

"Greener on the other side" procrastination loop. Been there, done that. 😩

I haven't written a single line of code since last year's November when I was going through the Rust book. Now, I'm not feeling as motivated about Rust as I used to be. Instead, I'm suddenly interested in programming in Go, which is ironic because when I was trying Go before Rust, I felt like learning Rust instead.
