Some thoughts: When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge. You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be. Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history. You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired. Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things.

Here’s a blurb on what I mean:

One of my unsung heroes of the year? The Coffee Table Jazz playlist on Spotify - it's always there to remind me that despite the world, I can take moments to mellow out.

We are GOLD, baby!!! 🔥📀🔥

Sep. 12... we're coming for you!

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

I haven’t shared this anywhere yet, but I’m sick of sitting on it. 😭

Tax Form That I accidentally clicked on with the following boxes right next to each other in the same form: Crop Insurance proceeds, Gross proceeds paid to an attorney, Fish purchase for resale, Excess Golden Parachute payments

If you're not filling out all of these boxes on your tax form, are you even living life?

In the end, there are two kinds of people in this world. People that believe "Finders Keepers" is a legit way to live your life, and people with empathy.

"Welcome to the new dark ages, I hope you're living right.
These are the new dark ages, and the world might end tonight."

It is vital that we give big ai trillions of dollars and let them burn through billions of cubic feet of natural gas per day so that students are able to get a passing grade without having to learn anything

I'm in a similar place - I found out with 5 minutes left in my last therapy session in December that they accept Cigna for medical but not therapy (same place as my doctor office) and it went from a great session to "oh god this is our last one" real quick. Crossing my fingers for all of us.

Nice humblebrag about having friends :P
