never seen something more relatable on this accursed app

I do not "render." I do not "shade." I do not "paint," I do not "detail" and i do not draw "Backgrounds." I draw BLAND CHARACTERS standing in WHITE VOIDS And if it doesn't look good i GIVE UP.

i walk a fine line between “i’m asexual and i hate how much the world revolves around sex” and “sex is way too stigmatized and people should be able to be more open about it if they want to”

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

considering how Tim and Damian both admire Dick so much, i bet you Bruce tries to use him against them whenever they misbehave, except it always backfires because Jason is always nearby and completely ruins it because HE actually grew up with Dick and knows that Bruce is full of shit.

Bruce: i’m disappointed in both of you, and i know that Dick would be too, were he here.

Damian: sorry father…

Tim: yeah… our bad, we won’t do it again.

Jason, walking by: what’d you do?

Damian: got into a public fight during an interview.

Bruce: Dick was never like this when he was your age, he’d be appalled at your lack of self control.

Damian: please do not tell him.

Bruce: well i might have to unless you learn to behave!

Jason: ? B fuck off, there’s a youtube video floating around somewhere of me and Dick at a Gala and he bodyslams me into a table full of shrimp because i said his hairline was receding.

Tim and Damian:

Bruce, teeth gritted: yes thank you, Jason, for that WONDERFUL addition to the conversation.

here's the actual thing for me about generative AI: if a person and a computer produced identical pieces of work, it's still not the same. it will never, ever be the same. that someone thought and felt and laboured over a piece of work, in itself, has meaning, and a computer cannot reproduce that. things are of interest to me because they are of interest to the person who made it.

If someone ever tells you a certain song is important to them you should turn it up and lay on your bed and close your eyes and really listen to it even if its 10 minutes long because at the end you will know that person much better I think

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
