FOR MY USA PEEPS: VOTE VOTE VOTE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPENDED ON IT

1:30 pm EST until 10 or later EST.

Bio breaks when needed!

I will be colouring a cute centaur girl, an anthro dragon Portrait, then a wolf in the stars.

If all that gets done early, who knows?

Let's talk about happy things and do art. Tomorrow we can worry when we know the full score.

So....today I begin my lone battle against GenAI.

Let #NoNewArtNovember begin!

Post only Glaze/Nightshade work!

Or

Post only work you've posted before!

Or

Post only on sites actively protecting you from scraping!

There's plenty of windmills to tilt at if you wanna join in.

Starscream stayed still just long enough for me to take one good picture of him in his Hallowe'en collar.

A proposal that no one will agree to.

If we really want to defeat Generative AI, our best hope would be to post NO NEW ARTWORK FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER.

Post nothing new that hasn't been run through both Glaze and Nightshade

Without a stream of new art, AI will feed faster on its own output.

This will degrade the results considerably, possibly to the point of being unusable.

The fourth quarter returns are due soon, and every AI-based company is already deeply in debt.

North America is the prime Gen AI scraping ground.

But, I hear you ask, how will I make any sales for the Christmas season?

- you may repost old work that you've already posted

- if you can run the image through BOTH Glaze and Nightshade, those will be fine

- privately emailing samples to potential clients who ask for them will be too slow a process for Big AI to gather new data

We can hurt them NOW while they are vulnerable.

No Art November.

Pass it on.

Tonight - I colour in my drawing of an elf girl and a dragon, thus this is *slightly* different than my usual art block faire.
