Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. 

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

This is highly unprofessional of them. If they believed your article was full of misinformation, they should have reached out to you directly, especially since you asked them for comment. In a time when creators are scared of losing their livelyhoods, dismissive replies on social media are not it

Mini comic in two parts.
1: "Just make it exist first" - crude drawing of a red circle, not very accurate.
2: "You can make it bear later" - the circle is now a bear's head after adding a bunch more lines to it. "Bear" on the caption is handwritten over a previous text.

Not to mention my video covering the Itch.io situation. I enjoyed stepping out of my comfort zone and making a video that was very different from the other stuff I make. But it feels pointless now. I'm going to keep making videos, but it's very discouraging

Painted picture in an Art Nouveau style. Anthro dragon sona is sitting , holding a flag pole between his arms bearing the progress pride flag, which swirls around him. He looks at the camera with a melancholic mood, but smiles almost timidly. Behind him, there are flowery patterns.

This is a very dark, very high contrast digital painting of a werewolf hiding under a table. The wolf is wearing a white dress shirt with a red tie and gray pants. They're partially lit from above, showing that they're hunched on all fours. There are several dead birds piled on the table top above. Their gray feathers are streaked with orange and green. The wolf's eyes are lit up a bright yellow-green, reflecting the light of the room back at the viewer. The legs of the table are also chewed through, leaving the table only supported by a few small pieces of wood. The white and green check floor gets fuzzy as it reaches the edge of the picture.

If you want to see furry visual novel creators continue to make cool stuff, keep applying pressure to payment processors but also:

if you aren't subscribed to your favorite FVNs' patreon/subscribestar/kofi/etc and CAN do that you should. These are passion projects for basically EVERYONE I work with

Visa and Mastercard pressuring Itch.io and Valve does 'nothing to protect' women, and shock games will just be 'side-stepping the ban entirely', say affected indie devs "Cutting these women off from income streams and audiences does nothing to 'protect' them."

really good write-up of this whole situation with payment processors enabling right-wing censorship of adult games www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

WHY?
On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells
games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the
group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal,
and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing
restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell.

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell.

If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard.

HOW?
BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS
Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are:

1. VISA:
(US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911
US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3

2. MASTERCARD:

US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1

It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have.

If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

Every time trans people ask "do you think they'll stop at this?" you need to immediately take it seriously. Remember when they said evangelicals and terfs won't stop at trans athletes? all queer people were on the chopping block, they just started with the easiest target.
