Please hate gen AI even harder.
You can do it. I believe in you.
Do it for the planet. Hate the lazy, slop producing, environment killing, water draining, participation trophy seeking, poser creating, loser machine.
Do it for humanity.
I don’t mean to sound melodramatic but do y’all ever think about how humanity used to navigate the world by the stars and now people can’t make a grocery list without help from AI.
It’s becoming inconvenient to drive. Food is no longer as edible as it once was. Government is wasting water and killing the planet to spy on us even more. And poor people are killing themselves. No, I’m not okay, and I don’t know why it’s a bad thing to bring up. I worry-
Stuff I use for drawing that I think are super useful:
•angleref . com - ENDLESS angled face refs
•Sketchfab - 3D models of characters (to check every little detail, rotate em) OR 3D dioramas for bgs
•Justsketchme - poses! (Yes I also trace em to get perfect anatomy) --
procreate was built by a small indie team, is a fairly affordable one time purchase, is used by industry professionals and has a firm stance on generative AI unlike some other art programs (looking at one company in particular lol)
sadly you won’t see me hating on procreate!!
Not liking Procreate is valid. It's light on features and feels unintuitive at first
But saying it isn't for real artists or doesnt have the features required for good art is crazy
Skill issue tbh
AI is bad for the environment, but we also shouldn’t downplay how embarrassing it is to pretend you wrote a book you didn’t actually write. It’s childish delusion on full display by grown adults.
Saying you’re an AI writer is like saying you’re a Call of Duty soldier.
I have absolutely zero desire to see technology advance any further. No more AI. No more data centers. We don't need a new iPhone every year or flying cars.
