I swear 80% of webcomics these days are about how drawing (web)comics sucks and venting to your audience in hopes they will praise and affirm you in the commentsAwful blogpost comic

The funny thing is that ChatGPT doesn't even use em dashes correctly—it insists on putting spaces between words and em dashes. Real humans—meanwhile—don't really do that.One day, in the not so distant future, we're going to look at the emdash thing the way we do the phrase "fellow white people" and just totally disregard the humanity of anyone that uses it.
The only time I see emdashes are in mathematical proofs that uses latex to render the paper. I don't even know how to type emdashes otherwise. It makes me think that the more something talks like a scientific paper outside of the context of a scientific paper, the more likely it is AI.The funny thing is that ChatGPT doesn't even use em dashes correctly—it insists on putting spaces between words and em dashes.

I love to use em dashes—they're great!
Twitter Storytime, who's in the wrong here?

Yeah, maybe she even licks urinals for fun.If the story is real, seems to me that Alice was far more invested in a "friendship" where she is "useful" to the friend when in truth the friend is becoming more and more frustrated that no progress is made on her project.
I mean, TEN years and she only had some hand drawn pages. What is she, Ethan Van Schiver?
Because she's "so quirky and funny XDDDD". Or something like that, I don't know.Why are these comics always so insufferable? Also, it seems the issue was more a lack of communication rather then AI- plus I don't know why she sees this as such a lost opportunity, since she was just being used as free labour. Her friend's standards were likely incredibly low if she felt like AI gave a satisfactory result.

Just a funny anecdote that I wanted to share. There is a rather unimaginative smut creator that goes by Sharkie with a very unimaginative fursona by the same name.

An anthro shark with turquoise accents that's often a futanari. Now I have two nickels.
Now, because this guy is so unimaginative, he also trained a LoRA based on his model to generate slop of his OC by the ton. A LoRA that he wouldn't share, but would keep slopping with it.
Enter the /trash/ anon that decided to spite him by training his own LoRA to share with everyone, keeping up the sloppage tradition of "sharing is caring".

He would continue refining it for a bit via genning a bunch of images, hand-picking and tagging them, then throwing them back into the training blender. Shockingly, model training doesn't work like genetics and this actually results in improvement with limited data sets rather than degradation and collapse as some artfags like to cope, but anyways, we now arrive at the funny.

Yes, the anon managed to bully the fucker into releasing his own super special private LoRA of his super special OC once it was no longer super special due to there being a publicly available LoRA of it that anyone could've fucking made anyways.![]()
Why do we need a bill like this. I thought existing laws already considered training theft.Are we ready for more copyright expansion guys?
Anyone who wants to expand copyright even more should be against a wall.Are we ready for more copyright expansion guys?
Thankfully AI training will likely remain fair use:Anyone who wants to expand copyright even more should be against a wall.
Donald Trump said:What we really need to be successful is a very simple phrase called common sense. And that begins with a common sense application of artificial and intellectual property rules. It’s so important.
You can’t be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you’ve read or studied, you’re supposed to pay for. Gee, I read a book. I’m supposed to pay somebody.
And you know, we appreciate that. But you just can’t do it because it’s not doable.
And if you’re going to try to do that, you’re not going to have a successful program.
I think most of the people in the room know what I mean. When a person reads a book or an article, you’ve gained great knowledge. That does not mean that you’re violating copyright laws or have to make deals with every content provider.
And that’s a big thing you’re working on right now, I know (speaking to audience).
But you just can’t do it.
China’s not doing it. And if you’re going to be beating China, and right now we’re leading China very substantially in AI, very, very substantially.
And nobody’s seen the amount of work that’s going to be bursting upon the scene. But you have to be able to play by the same set of rules.
So, when you have something, when you read something, and when it goes into this vast intelligence–machine we’ll call it, you cannot expect to every time, every single time say, oh, let’s pay this one that much. Let’s pay this one.
Just doesn’t work that way.
Of course, you can’t copy or plagiarize an article. But, if you read an article and learn from it, we have to allow AI to use that pool of knowledge without going through the complexity of contract negotiations of which there would be thousands for every time we use AI.
I think hyper-realism is a worthwhile aesthetic just as much as any style.FAT vtuber buttmad about "hyperrealism" and artists that use references for some reason?
preservetube
getting mad over random nobodies on instagram and claiming to know what specific generator they're using is beyond schizo to me man.
also she's FAT!!!
What even is the realistic strategy for anti ai people to win outside of the law, which they arguably don't have the best chances either.>Uhhuhh, I'm gonna own AyyEye by making my products free despite being a starving artist. That'll show 'em!

"Fuck AI", would rather not, lmao.
They are niggers and don't really have a plan. It's probably some retarded virtue signalling that they need to show their favourite artists that they are "good non-binary gendered peoples" to keep commissioning them porn or something.What even is the realistic strategy for anti ai people to win outside of the law, which they arguably don't have the best chances either.
This feels like traditional animation fighting against 3D or motion capture, where in the end traditional animation ends up as a niche while digital and 3D took over the industry, and motion capture became a very common tool in modern Hollywood.
Or even animation in face of off shores labor where all in-between were done in some Korean sweatshop
I dare say that seething is natural but to continue to seethe far longer than what most people would do even beyond what the wider public does is where it gets unhealthy. Releasing a tutorial for free is genuinely a net positive, provided they are good but I have my doubts for what they consider “the right way”
