![Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.
A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)
when I post art I make, it's not because I think it is "good", but because I think making art is good in itself, so when I post a drawing I hope someone thinks "oh I should doodle something" & that they do that & it makes them happy 🙏🏻

Posting all of these today. I loved doing one on her birthday every year that I could. We have lost one of the brightest lights that has ever shined.
how to fight this: violently clown any stupid fuck who tries this bullshit. the greatest weapon we have against AI is to make is extremely toxic and social suicide. When in doubt of what to say, just laugh at them. They'll try to respond but when you don't reply they'll look desperate, embarrassing
Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2mo agoThere’s an aggressively paid for influence op going on right now to defend AI slop as art and protected speech across platforms. AI execs realize they have a problem and don’t wanna get Marie Antoinette’d. The free ChatGPT trip is the tip of the iceberg. First person to nail it down gets a Pulitzer.
Might as well post it here! A magical girl animation I've been slowly chipping at over the weekends for ages.
It’s been awhile since I mentioned that I have a super cool starter pack filled with awesome artists. So, hey, I have a super cool starter pack willed with awesome artists and it’d be super cool if you followed them. ☺️ go.bsky.app/6WQAQna

I’ve been finding time for fun art lately, and have been drawing some of my characters in Lord of the Rings Online. Meet my favourite: my Beorning tank Rathlifa! (This started as an attempt at a watercolour underpainting, but it was too muddy so I changed it to a sketch)
Sari Tagh 🌇 A while back, I reworked the color palette for this illustration. I did this drawing in Armenia because I wanted to hold on to a little bit of those memories
