A vinyl repressing of Drukqs would literally fix my entire life.

01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."

02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."

03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.

04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"

Dude made a β€œdemo” of a game that was an AI generated video of a car in an obvious Cyberpunk 2077 setting. These people are less than useless.

I love when I can see the work in a piece of art. Practical effects in film, brush strokes on canvas, strange sounds in music, "impossible" visuals in games. It puts me in conversation with the artist. That's why - ethics aside - art created with AI is just so disappointing. There's no work to see.

It possibly might. Does it have an expiration date on the back? If not, you could give it a try.

I run into this regularly since Peter Jackson provided an excuse for people to upscale and colorize their silents.

"But but but, THE KIDS CAN'T BE EXPECTED TO WATCH OLD THINGS WITHOUT COLOR!!!"

Plenty of kids have. Plenty of kids will. Make the originals more available.

I'm in Europe, so that should be the middle of the day for me. I'll add it to my calendar. Thanks!

It’s clearly AI.

Spam bots is a plague all over the internet sadly. At least Bluesky is actually trying their best to combat them compared to the shitshow that is Twitter

I didn't see the original post, but my guess is probably art commission scam bots.

This is seemingly not targeted, but instead the user seems to have made many multiple image generators of all sorts of different peoples sonas, which I think is gross.

Got informed about it by a friend, who also had their character stolen. The creator of the AI thing does respect takedown requests, so I will do that once I’m at my PC.

Guys, have I officially made it if someone has used art of my sona for a GenAI image generator without my consent? Because that has seemingly just happened. πŸ’€

Are there any VRC clubs with a focus on genres like IDM, breakcore/jungle, ambient, and overall more experimental electronic genres?

Been wanting to get back to the VRC club scene, but kinda wanna check out new places with a focus on more diverse genres than the usual.
