@pheonix It is *so* annoying.Duckduckgo has a no ai search, which works as well as you’d expect. This morning, I heard of an artist and wanted to see more examples of his work. Even with “AI: hide,” about one in five images came from domains that seem dedicated to generating slop “in the style of” an artist. And yeah, I could see the difference between flat art nouveau and shaded slop, but I shouldn’t need to waste my very limited energy on that.I tagged those to ddg, hope they’ll shit list those domains.

@mitch Actually, he's hoping his mark hasn't.

@Aoi_X_Kaizaki There's a little more purple to it. I don't know what you're eating, though.

@kiranrao haven't seen AI translated work yet - but then translation is just a job that I'm trying to break into, not my primary work.

@LordCaramac you show great wisdom, my Lord

@golgaloth I do plan to add some errata to my older books this year, though nothing drastic.

@kristiedegaris You look lovely.

@qtarantino Adobe?Sorry, I'm missing a context here. Like in Photoshop?

@kristiedegaris I think it helped solidify things for me that the only film adaptation I've seen *is* the one where Heathcliff was played by black actors (James Hobson and Solomon Glave). It's a superbly shot film, and I gather from what's written here, it's probably the only one that does the true message of the book justice.

#ScribesAndMakers Feb 20: The alpha male is a misconception perpetuated in popular media. What's a misconception that bothers you?That one. That one, specifically. Every time I hear it invoked, I immediately go into a speech I've given many times about how it's an utter bullshit concept that *certain people* are attached to bc they think it justifies them ACTING LIKE ASSHOLES.#Writing #Writers #WritingCommunity #WritersOfMastodon #AmWriting #Scriberspace
