I am so. fucking. tired. of AI being revered as some big fucking step forward for humanity. I’m tired of people acting as if it’s going to solve all of life’s problems, while turning around and using it to do the most mundane, creative, enjoyable and rewarding things.
oh? It’s going to solve cancer, complex mathematical equations, world hunger, economics, climate change? Yeah? But in the mean time, you’re using it to write books, newspapers, eulogies? You’re using it to make art, songs, clothing? All things which have always held inherent beauty due to the touch of humanity seen in them? It’s gonna solve world hunger, fix climate change, but in the meantime it’s used to generate brainrot images while its servers suck up so much money and power and water that it’s actively ruining the climate?
my mom is an author. A few months ago she found out that her books, and all books in the romance genre, were being fed to AI. To train its skills. She got no say in if her work was used for it
my dad got put in the newspaper, and he was excited about posing for the photo they took. Today he found out the entire article was written by ChatGPT.
my English teacher encourages us to use it to write poetry. To cite sources and make art.
when the fuck are people going to realize that it’s not funny? It’s not a joke? It’s not something to grin and present to someone, like, “I made this with AI! Look what it can do! We’re in the age of technology, and it’ll only get better from here!”
you can’t “make” anything with AI. You put that in there, you have no true hand in its creation. You are not an “ai artist”. You are an ai user, and a fucking ignorant person. being in the age of technology could have been a good thing. You twisted that by allowing the technology to take over the elements of your life you could have found the most happiness in.
it will not get better from here. People will rely on it like they rely on any crutch—to the point of muscle atrophy. The muscle in question? Their brain. And they won’t give a shit, becuase it’s making life easier. It’ll solve world hunger and fix climate change.
But it does.
"Why don't people recognize Link in TOTK" bc everyone imagines the legendary swordsman to be built like Ganondorf and Link doesn't bother correcting anyone bc being hailed as a hero is like on the bottom of his priorities, which are topped by things like "Bake one of every pie"

All hail the rat god

My first sketch of Folly and designs I quickly doodled to use as a reference (my first drawing of rat Is a bit different bc it came before the designs)
They want up to TWENTY CENTS per game install, once you reach a certain number of installs.
TWENTY CENTS
Just imagine, 100 people install your game and you suddenly owe Unity 20 fucking dollars. Chances are, you haven't even made that much in profits from 100 sales.
It's time for unity to fucking die. How fucking dare they demand royalties from game devs for an engine THAT ISN'T EVEN FREE?
In case you don't know, here's a list of a few bigger games that use the Unity engine:
Hollow Knight
Rimworld
Subnautica
Pokemon Go
Cities: Skylines
Rust
Hearthstone
Pillars Of Eternity
Cuphead
Me meeting a genie: Okay, so my first wish is for 1000 dollars a day, deposited to my bank account without any way of tracing it to anything illegal. I want this money to come from the ten richest people in America (100 dollars each), withdrawn under the guise of nebulous, random purchases and surcharges. It would probably be best to split the money into a myriad of smaller fees, though, to reduce the likelihood of anyone noticing. Got all that?
Genie: um
Me, continuing on without a care: For my SECOND wish, I want you to give me the ability to learn any given phoneme, so that I can learn to pronounce new languages perfectly. If you're willing, it'd be nice if it were a little easier to memorize new languages too, but if that's not cool, I'm perfectly fine doing all the legwork myself I mostly just want to be capable of pronouncing things correctly.
Genie, now staring at me like I'm insane: ......okaaayyy?....
Me: For my third wish. I want to always have great ideas for gifts for people. Every birthday, every holiday, I want to be able to come up with something they'd really like, with enough time to actually get it for them.
Genie, just staring at me
Me: I can provide you with a written document if that would help.
I do art. Mostly of block people, but sometimes OCs or other fandoms. It’s a fun little surprise.
