Really annoyed at all these art tubers convincing my 14yr old that she NEEDS a screened graphics tablet, and anything else is just not sufficient for digital art. Meanwhile, theres me. A full on digital artist. Never used one of those.

Saw this on Instagram and thought this applies to art too. Not only are genAI “artists” stealing, but they’re also cheating themselves out of the benefits of creating. The joy of the process, the complex decisions, the pride. Giving up creativity for productivity is exactly what capitalism wants.

Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

Steven Hassan also said that when Rev Moon would fart, everyone would ignore it, committed to the reality that such a supreme being could never. Do with that info what you will.

"You die? "Well, yes, someday." "I die?" "I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, & you think about things, & that means you have a soul. And souls don't die." All shot practically using real figures, lighting & miniature sets

Finally muted an old friend on IG who has leaned hard into AI content. I can't bring myself to unfriend them, even though we don't talk much anymore. But I cant deal with the regular of posts of "Here's how you can use AI for everything!"

If Obama started making statements now, people would tune him out or write articles headlined "Obama Slams Trump Admin: Former potus defends DEI" It would completely backfire and lead to another round of 'what's wrong with Democrats du jour' discourse. Y'all just want someone else to blame.

They're going to call this a miracle and then ignore the incredibly high costs for care while gutting any programs that might help from Medicaid to Sovial Security. Then, blame the family for not being able to afford millions.

I've been meaning to paint a personal piece featuring a horse for a while now! What is artistic terror for some is one of my favourite subject matters. Blend in sunflowers and fairytale dresses and I'm very happy :) 'Summer's Breeze' watercolour on hot press paper #art #horses
