For anyone worried about having their hard work replaced with AI, here's a playful reminder that the popular streamer DougDoug forced ChatGPT, the one ADVERTISED TO BE THE SMARTED MACHINE LEARNING PROGRAM, to play through a Pajama Sam game targeted at preschoolers and had to nuke the program a grand total of 26 times because the AI wasn't learning anything from his prompts, but rather it's own INCREASINGLY UNHINGED ramblings.

Anyway, here's the link. Highly recommend the watch. It's hilarious.

Anyway if you are one of those people who genuinely believes ai creations are a good thing then that suggests you have never produced a creative work worth protecting from theft and corporate-sponsored irrelevance, ever, and/or that you do not give a shit about one. single. person who has. And that is so, so much sadder and says so much more about you than any stupid jokes you could make about creators trying to protect their work being Luddites or whatever.

Pink Floyd: animated music video contest.

So Pink Floyd had an animated art contest.

"Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary Animation Video Competition."

There were a fair amount of good entries, some I thought were going to win BUT guess who won? It was an AI bro, this person won an animation contest by putting in some prompts into a program.

The only thing they made was the tittle card, everything else was all done by a program that uses stolen data.

This just was so depressing and especially since there were some well made drawn animations.

Like this one here

I recommend watching their video it's fantastic, it does have nudity but it's nothing sexual. Also go check out the other entries too because these actual artist need the love for their hard work.

Something I also learned is each song was in a category, so there were multiple winners. One of the videos that did lose to that AI one was this one link.

Also very well made and created by a person, not a program but they and others who put in for that song lost.

Overall, knowing that someone won an animation contest and didn't do any animating. Over the people who spent months working on a animated music video, with there own hands and skills.

It just makes me question, what's the point in entering these contest? When it seems an Ai generated entry will always win.

Note: Also they know it's AI generated because the guy who won, literally said he used an AI generator.

AI Art doesn't belong in the art channel of a creative focused server. ✌️💀

YouTube poops, edits, and bad impressions will always be infinitely more funny than AI

Yeah, alright, no. No don't this. I'll do you a few fucking better and teach you right here and now how to do this: You game? Blurb and lesson time. Got you. First up, a SPOOC. This is one technique that can be expanded (gonna give you examples too). WRITING LESSONS AHOY:

SPOOC = Situation, protagonist, objective, obstacles/opponents, climax/cost. So, when Frodo Baggins (protagonist) inherits the Ring of Power (Situation), he must set out on a quest to destroy it (objective). But, will he succeed when the forces of sauron and saruman unite and

try to reclaim the one ring and use its power to destroy Middle Earth (climax - cost if failure). This specific example is taught by Jim Butcher so if you want some weight behind it. There you go. It works. Want to know how to do a blurb? Practice, but check it:

Who is it? What's going on?

Why should we care?

What happens if the hero fails?

If you can, end on a snappy one liner or question. You can open on one too or a question like it.

What do shadows darting across the walls, cryptic writing, black fog, and a little girl who can see ghosts have in common? Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, has forty-four hours to find out. To make matters worse, his years of body-hopping and monster-hunting are catching up with him. He's losing his mind. An old contact has shut him out. To top it all off, something's skulking through an asylum, killing patients. Three guesses who might be next, and the first two don't count. The writing on the wall is not so clear. But one thing is: if he doesn't figure this out he's a dead man--well, deader--and a strange young girl might follow. Vincent's got his back against a wall, and that wall's crumbling. Some days it's not worth it to wake up in someone else's body.

That's Grave Measures - book two in my urban fantasy detective series. Who is it - covered. What's going on? Why should we care (the stakes to the protagonist and more). The costs. And the above.

It's not rocket science, and doesn't have to be.

Here's one from book three:

Don't make deals with the paranormal. They're better at it than you, and they never play fair. Paranormal investigator and soul without a body, Vincent Graves, did just that—a deal made in desperation. Now it's coming back to bite him in the middle of a case. He has 57 hours to investigate a string of deaths involving people who've made some devilish bargains. Too bad devils don't deal in good faith. It'd be easy enough, if he didn't have to deal with things such as: - Being hunted through the streets of Queens by a dark elf with a motorcycle fetish. - Ending up the target of a supernatural hit. - An old acquaintance dragging him to a paranormal ball where he could end up on the menu. - And having one of his closest guarded secrets brought to light... Not great for a tight clock, because if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case in time, Vincent and company might just lose their souls. Dirty deals are never done dirt cheap. And the supernatural always collect—big!

Same formula. A lot of fiction uses it. You just might not realize it. You don't need a fucking AI. You need a few minutes every day of practice. You got that. You got this!

With SPOOC, you can outline a whole damn novel.

You get a snappy two-liner pitch to sell with. YOu can expand it into summaries for each book to make up LOTR in this case or your series.

Then you can reverse engineer and keep expanding each summary. It does it for you.

Hi guys, happy new year! Turns out my final essay in a class got failed (which made me fail the course since it’s worth 35%) because Turnitin marked it as AI. I’m not sure what to do except write an email (which just got sent!) and see how that goes. Wish me luck!

AI is being used by scammers.

This is a huge problem on Facebook.

[misslovasstuff]

Art is about the process of creating, not just the end results. AI art can never compare.

I'm really sad right now. Thinking about how I thought when I was 5 and younger that Ai was gonna take the jobs people don't want, so they can have the jobs like Wrighting and Drawing. But it's filp floped now. And that's wrong. To think someone like me or my best friend will never get to draw and write for a living. And that now is the only time I will get to share my storys. And when I grow up. I have to get stuck in a job I never wanted. Like don't just focus on the adults. Think of YOUR KIDS who want to draw and write when they grow up. Think of these kids who have no other outlet but drawing or writing and now have to get a slap on the face and told you can't do that for a living . It's so ducked up.

Hey y’all. A heads up from @ arsonistsnail on tiktok. Please listen because I’m sure y’all don’t want this either.

Guess what was posted on ArtStation.

I will let this screenshot speak for it self but note to make these you need a photo of the person you want so keep that in mind.

This was posted on ArtStation a website meant to help ARTIST get jobs and create a portfolio.

Now it's becoming like DeviantArt, a place for AI generated image, trolls and pervs who just want to get off on some deepfake po*n.

It's very sad and disgusting.

You mfers using AI to make art and drawings and then putting you're fucking signatures on it???? What is wrong with you?

You didn't make it. You typed something into a computer that then stole from artists who genuinely took time to draw, create, be inspired and passionate about their work. But you want a quick and easy route instead of practicing and learning and actually making an effort, you used AI

And people started to notice. There are signs and repetitive flaws because it's not an authentic creation. And you don't like people calling you out on it, because you know it's wrong, so you put a signature on it to make people think it's a genuine drawing you made. You're thieves and liars, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Please share your thoughts! With the rise of AI-related issues, I've seen a lot of authors making their work available only to registered AO3 users, and I've been contemplating doing it myself. I'm curious to see why people who use the site wouldn't sign up for an account.
