pouring one out for all the artists that poured their life, heart and soul into their crafts and unique works only to get no response when they shared their work on the timeline now that they’re all watching every last NPC praise and endlessly share hollow and nothingburger imagery generated by a slopmachine

checking out for real this time
this era of internet is for the brainrotted

not taking it to heart, but it's true: 

watching everyone ghibli and score engagement while many of us continue to share things ~we actually made~ to little interest is painful.

my mission always has been, and will remain trying to improve the "situation" for creatives. weird that the solution lies in game design.

I don't have the skills to generate some of the images 4o created for me this. So it was very exciting for me on what it enabled.

With code — I can generally tell when something is written by AI with slop — and I am naively going to assume probably artists like you can tell when something is AI generated as well.

Just as I don't think AI will replace programmers, I don't believe AI will replace artists. Unique skills will always have its place — but at the edges likely we lose mediocre participants on ecosystems to AI.

completely agree with you. I just build my first frame end to end bc of ai and it was thrilling. and don't get me wrong, there was indeed a creative spirit around ghibli day. it was more of a complaint about what people find interesting on socials, which is, of course, a useless complaint.
