A 2 panel comic strip titled FUTURE The first panel says THEN... A man is asking a child who is holding a sketchbook, WHY DO YOU WANT TO BECOME AN ARTIST? THERE IS NO FUTURE! WHY DON'T YOU GET A REAL JOB? The second panel says NOW... The same man who is older now says I'M SELLING A PROMPT WRITING COURSE! Α.Ι. IS THE FUTURE! Another character at the back is overpraising the person!

When we expressed that we wanted to pursue art we used to be told there is no future in that particular field.

But the machine that's scraping from artists' works is the one they believe has a future.

i just googled "even ironic use of generative ai harms the planet meaning" and you would NOT believe what it came up with!!

everyone signing on to be a part of the new HBO Max Harry Potter series is endorsing this and should be treated accordingly

Kyoto Ryokans Stop Serving Traditional Japanese Food That Foreign Tourists Hate - Unseen Japan Many inbound travelers to Japan love staying in a traditional Japanese ryokan. However, they're not so keen on the food that comes with it.

Foreign tourists to Japan love staying in traditional ryokans, with some inns saying inbound travelers now comprise 90% of their business. However, foreigners are less enamored of traditional Japanese food, leading some ryokans to stop offering meals at all.

I don't fear replacement, I fear humans losing the love of doing things for themselves. Why draw? Why ask questions? Why write? Because it brings joy. Because creating, putting forth effort, doing things, is what makes us feel alive. If we turn to machines for all of that, why live?

LLMs work by running statistics on existing data. So, like, if EVERYONE stops researching & innovating, instead just using AI, then that's it: the end of progress by definition, since we'll just be recycling existing data and feeding it back into the models. That's depressing.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

My students are shown regularly how badly AI answers questions that they know the answers to.

The problem is, if you’re ignorant, you don’t know that it’s wrong. (But it sounds like what they think an educated person sounds like.)

Tried to use my soft pastels today

Panel 1: character crying at a desk Text: this IS hard Panel 2: character is now drawing determinedly Text: but I can do it

Little gentle reminder to all the human creatives out there 💪

A picture of two Japanese school girls wearing traditional sailor uniforms. The girl on the left wears short hair, loose leg warmers and is smiling cutely while holding a menacing baseball bat. The girl on the girl has longer hair and is winking at the viewers, wearing a 'sukeban' styled outfit. They're standing against a yellow background, with nefarious accessories behind them: a first aid kit, a spray can labelled 'fire' and a gasoline canister. A red halo circles the two girls, with text that reads "support your local girl gang"

new print dropping for CAFKL ;D

men will literally crash the global economy before going to therapy

A tech bro who just picked up generative Al 2 years ago is telling an artist who has more than 10 years of experience that he knows art better than the artist does.

Every argument with AI tech bros always feels like this

#createdontscrape #supporthumanartists

I have a near visceral dislike of the "Ghibli-esque AI"

Ghibli is about painstaking craftsmanship. Of animators, actors and more spending *years* to create something that moves you across the spectrum of human emotion

Go watch "The Boy & the Heron"/君たちはどう生きるか before using cheap tricks

Basically I'm bitter that AI generated comics gain tractions.

It's not like my comics has never been shared around before, but still bitter. 5/end

AI bros sees a generated work with 6 fingers they still have the spare time to type "impressive!". 😅

Artists in the same fandom don't even want to talk to each other in bsky despite the pros/famous artists kept marketing it as better for artists. "hashtags works!" they say. 4/?

Now I get that we sometimes don't even know what to say, I'm guilty of that too.

Sometimes we think damn you're so good I don't think you need anymore praises.

Or they're so damn good I don't think they'd even read my comment so don't bother saying anything.

But that's where we're lacking.

3/?

If not asking for tips, they just give compliments.

Last time I felt this experience was back in DeviantArt. Artists used to actively compliment each other or exchange art tips and such.

Nowadays, it's like or repost then be done with it. Nothing else to say to uplift each other. 🥹 2/?

Hot take on the gen AI issue.

I hate to say this but AI Bros community macam ada better engagement than the artists community.

I just saw a comic made by ChatGPT, then they have a lot of responses, most of them ask for what prompt did they use. So they have this spirit to learn from each other 1/?

If you're trans and you're making a webcomic, comment so I can make a starter pack of webcomics made by trans people for #transrightsreadathon !🏳️‍⚧️

4 panel comic. In the first panel there is a bowl of salvaged eggs. I was texting my mom on what to do with the eggs. She suggested caramel pudding, omelette, scrambled eggs or french toast. In the 2nd panel, I decided on caramel pudding while beating the eggs, with milk and sugar. In the third panel I was making Caramel. In the fourth panel I whine about the microwave method didn't work and decided to steam the pudding batter. The whole process took 3 hours.

Real photos of the completed caramel pudding in a pyrex container and a bowl of scooped up pudding.

How was I planning to play Monster Hunter Wilds but ended up making Caramel Pudding instead??

A 2 panel comic. First panel is me putting a bag on a table and said back from grocery shopping, can't wait to play monhun. In the second panel the bag rolled off the table and something came out.

A 2 panel comic. In the first panel, the egg carton landed on the floor with a loud crack. Cracks can be seen on the egg shells. In the second panel, I looked down on the floor speechless.

"RESET" - A prologue by 4threset Five people going through a time loop. The catch is that two of them aren't experiencing time linearly.

Putting this up here because I've run through this and it seems to work!!!

Only 10-15 minutes long, here's what I've been smashing away at for roughly a week! First foray into gamedev! Let me know your thoughts if you play it! :) (And if you find anything broken)

A drawing of an evil queen with blood on her hands and on the floor, on her sleeves and the bottom of her gown. The caption says mirror, mirror on the wall who is the most genocidal of them all?

Good morning.

Remember not to support that movie with that genocidal queen.

Her home state broke the ceasefire :(

You don't have to try too hard. No one believes in your propaganda anymore ☺️

This is not to insult Muslim women, I live in a Muslim majority country and many Muslims are conservatives.

Conservative women are still stuck in patriarchal cycle and have the tendency to downplay sexist issues. So this is a jab at them for not recognizing their privilege.
