I prefer to have a freak as my pilot. A freak isnβt going to cut corners in the name of profit. They are going to be weird perverts about keeping planes in the air. If me or my familyβs safety depends on exacting precision and care, I HOPE theyβre fucking weirdo perverts about planes.

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said βno brown M&Ms.β It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if theyβre skipping one thing, itβs guaranteed theyβre skipping something essential.
An AI flyer is a brown M&M test. If your event or business is cutting corners by using an AI flyer, where else are you cutting corners? What else are you cheating out on? Why should I be bothered to go somewhere you couldn't be bothered to promote with a little of your own personality?

I've had people who can't afford to support monetarily be the reason paying clients find me just through word of mouth alone. My next customer might not see my post, but they might see your repost of my work or comms.
Pro tip: you donβt have to comm artists to boost and support them. People claim they canβt support artists and creators because they are financially strapped, but they can still boost posts, comment, like, and in general just be supportive! Itβs completely free outside of an internet connection ;)

You don't actually NEED to have intent on improving your art, studying or being "good" at it. If it makes you happy to just draw your ocs on blank backgrounds then do it. Your art style will evolve naturally and you'll just latently pick up stuff along the way.
Whatβs a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

A certain AAA studio told employees that their internal gen AI was trained only on local data, but whenever said employees tried to generate an image of a woman holding a gun, it generated Lara Croft. The studio was not Crystal Dynamics, and had never worked on the Tomb Raider IP in any capacity.
I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping

10 perverts who are ride or die for you is always more valuable than 10,000 people who don't give a shit
PROBABLY fake in a literal sense, but also EMOTIONALLY fake. Artists made more money on cohost. Some special interests are still on forums. Some people survive off fucking MAILING LISTS somehow. Reach is only useful if it reaches something you want. Views only matter if they're meaningful.

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...
