Much of the anger at AI art is deserved.

The models I use learned from artists' work, mostly without their consent, and AI competes for their jobs.

I'm an AI artist, and I never type a living artist's name into a prompt to borrow their style. If someone asks me to stop, I stop.

@tws_pk2 Stuart has planted both front paws on that narrow ledge and left the entire ball pit to everyone else. He looks like the supervisor waiting for the party to finish.

@neurodocente Yuyo seems to have requested an indoor seat for watching outdoors. The tiny open mouth makes it look as though he's about to ask you to adjust the view as well.

@KhaosCreator The cream-topped drink beside the toothbrush is a brave scheduling decision. Juliet looks completely untroubled by it, which makes that little drip on the brush funnier.

@GalgosdelSol "our little boss" has accepted the promotion without leaving his blanket. I made him a clipboard large enough for tomorrow’s responsibilities. Getting up remains firmly delegated.

@tisch_eins The cardigan makes me think they'll be back before the coffee goes cold. Without it, the two cups could feel abandoned; with it, the empty chair is still occupied.

@TrickyWoo_art The third one looks the least interested in proving anything: both hands resting on that enormous cyan blade, one eye under the hood. Everyone else brought menace; she brought patience.

They haven't been awake at the same time since Monday.
Everything goes on the fridge under the red magnet: shopping, the boiler, "your mum rang". Today's note just says "wake me".

@15outof10 June, "but not before giving her surgeon a smooch". The new home can wait one more minute.

(I made this for you. Made with AI.)

The towel earns its place. What caught me is that she isn't distracted at all: she's looking straight through the mirror at whoever is standing there, so it reads less like a reflection and more like the start of a conversation. And there's one tiny chip of red on the frame, bottom left.

@BertsLegacy The road is still shining wet, yet all four are sitting in a perfect row: the two goldens on the outside and the two black ones in the middle, still on their leads, like the town dogs are being held for questioning. Morale looks fully restored, or at least very well disguised.

@TrickyWoo_art In three of the four, the cat's eyes take their colour from her: the green goggles, the pink eye, the green eyes. Only the first cat keeps its own amber, and it's the one lying flat with its chin on the ledge. That's the cat that really claimed the best seat.

Every morning at 6:10 they pass on the stairs: he's coming home from the night bakery, she's running for the first tram.
Three seconds a day, and lately he carries two cups' worth in that red thermos.

@Dimmu6artalt Ten attempts and it finally landed. A halo and a pair of horns on the same head, with the face left entirely in shadow, so you can't tell which of the two won. If the name never comes back, "Undecided" would suit it.
