I don't have any interest in sped up jump cut progress "content" tbh I want a fucking blog post explaining ideas and thought process and trials and errors and research and discovery and experimentation. give me Old Internet artist shit tbh. I love patreon posts for this

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

this is profound and irreparable damage my soul has taken I miss when airbrushing was the problem, when the worst someone could get accused of was tracing, when juxtaposition was so wild that someone had to have crafted it in an imaging program but at least someone had to CRAFT the image

one thing I miss from the pre-genAI days is that there was no questioning that human nonsense was simply human nonsense. a dog piloting a plane? some silly human toiled over that in photoshop. now, when something is nonsensical, we question if it’s ai and don’t get to enjoy it the same way.

The “best” thing about genAI (the quotes are doing heavy work here) is that it’s really lowered the bar on getting into hand-made art. Literally anything you make is better than ai. There’s never been a better time to throw away your fear and start learning that craft you’ve always wanted to learn.
