AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

hades 2 screenshot of my character Leora. her text reads: okay! I’ll help but you can’t lose because if you do that’s just embarassing for the both of us and we can’t have that

started playing Draw Steel so I doodled my character, Opaline! She was created by the goddess of time and space herself to assist the monarch of a nation in a terrible war against dragons. Opaline loves learning about "human culture" and is basically an alien.
Her class is Chronopath/Time Mage! ⏳

This is one of the best pilots I've ever seen, can't eloquently put into words how much I loved it.

Side view of a tall man embracing an aasimar woman from behind. The man resembles a statue made of moonstone. The woman has very long blonde hair that gives off a golden light.

Did that one redraw meme with my new campaign character Oralee! She's with her totally normal husband Ishtari, he just looks like that it doesn't mean anything #ocsky #dnd

Ach thank you 🥺 im so excited to play her

a full body portrait of an aasimar woman with brown skin and golden eyes sitting in a chair. Her golden hair is very long and curls over her shoulders and the chair. She wears a linen nightgown and has a spellbook open in her lap. Sunshine pours through the window behind her and her hair further illuminates the room.

Finally begged, borrowed, and stole my way into a new dnd game. This is my new PC, Oralee! She's a warlock who thinks she's a wizard and she's on an adventure looking for her husband. #dnd #ocsky

Every summer my family and I return to the motherland - the west of Ireland. In 2022, thanks to the drought, its usual deep green was singed slightly brown

Me and my aunties sprang - collected - my Great Auntie Nellie from her convent in Dublin, and drove west

We stopped briefly in Tipperary Town to stand outside the house my mother and her sisters grew up in in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Suddenly they're bursting with memories: "This was my favourite step! My throne!" "I saw Thin Lizzy play in that church hall in 1969!" "That's Basil's house, where Basil lived. He made the town gravestones"

Further west again, we visit a living part of that old Ireland. The farm where the last stalwarts of my grandmother's generation live. [Great Uncle Ned, 84, Great Auntie Nellie, 90, Great Auntie Bernie, 89, sit chatting, hunched in chairs]

SCREAMING STILL AT ASTRA and all of the others they like fantastic!!!

A plague doctor in patchwork clothing holding a book and recording something in it with a raven feather quill. A raven perches on their shoulder and peers into the book. In front of them is a glowing plant of some kind, and they stand in a patch of greenery.

A white ratfolk woman in a colorful circus performer's outfit balances on a ball with a bright smile in a spotlight. Confetti rains down around her.

A blue-haired woman in an elegant evening gown with a shawl stands in front of a partially covered, dilapidated mirror. Dark cracks are spreading across her skin. Her wide smile is somewhat desperate.

A priest of the Adeptus Ministorum throws her arms wide with a manic, wide eyed smile. A great burst of light is behind her, and her robes and purity seals billow around her, caught in her energy.

I'm too impatient to post things over the next few days actually. Continuing AF attacks!! 🎨

- Omen (ClefBee on AF)
- Chimney ( @mformultiverse.bsky.social )
- Astra ( @cassynite.bsky.social )
-Mars Argo von Valancius (triflingshadows on AF)

A hexblood woman with blue skin, horns, and dark curling hair sits and stares into a red orb in her hand. She wears a rope of white braid around her throat and a pink ruffled dress with an empire waist. Red tattoos line her collarbones and extend down her chest and arms.

Another belated upload for artfight, this one a revenge for @new-austin.bsky.social--it's sal again, because i love her #artfight2025

Bust portrait of a woman with a blonde braid pulling down a hood and mask away from her face. Her face is in three-quarters view and she looks at the audience askance with a slight smile.

Belated post artfight upload, this one was for @sacherali.bsky.social and her OC, Rozenn! I tried a new rendering technique for this one that I was very proud of hehe #artfight2025

A half body illustration of curse of strahd oc Aleksei Martikov, a half elf with brown skin and long gray-streaked dark hair that is shaved on one side. He is in profile, showing the shaved side of his head, as well as a large burn scar covering his face and a missing eye. He is holding as sword over his shoulder and light armor with feather embellishments. His shadow stretches out behind him, stretching wings, and shadowy hands wrap around his torso and stretch across his face.

Next #artfight attack for @transkingjulian.bsky.social and his oc, Aleksei! #artfight2025

YouTube video by LinesSensei Smart Shading Trick! #drawing #tutorial #art #animedrawing #digitalart

So I just found this unique tutorial on shading and my brain just broke:

I'm so glad you like it!! It was a lot of fun picking an outfit for her and a color palette--I don't usually work with these colors but the green and red you recommended had me branching out <3

A full body illustration of a dark skinned woman wearing a hat, green oversized jacket, pink blouse, and calf-length skirt the same shade of green. She has a belt buckle, earrings, and jacket buttons with rose imprints.

Next artfight attack-- @thebirdarts.bsky.social's Elena! I saw "put her in whatever outfit" and immediately jumped on it lol #artfigh2025

A full body photo of a pale-skinned aasimar with light blue eyes and white wings outstretched behind him. He wears a blue ouji outfit with a ruffled shirt, vest corset, puffy skirt, and knee high boots in shades of blue with gold accents. There is a golden stylized halo behind his head illuminating his wings in circles of golden light.

Third attack! This one is of @outeremissary.bsky.social's Balthazar <3 #artfight #artfight2025
