Reblog If Its Ok To Spam You With Boops

Hi Nipuni, I hope you’re doing well. I’m just curious what’s your opinion about the rampant use of AI in art lately especially how it impacts artists and possibly stealing artists work to train it. As a fellow artist I’m curious of what other artists would think of this. I’ve seen many beginners artists losing hope in pursuing art because of AI and it truly breaks my heart. I hope artists wouls stay doing art no matter what because it’s very important and their art will always be valuable no matter what. By the way, you don’t have to reply to this if this particular topic is not something you’re comfortable with. I love your art so much and I wish all the best for you, you are an incredible artist and I love the energy you always put into your art🫶

Hello, I am doing great! I hope you are too! ☺️ I'm so sorry I'm so late to reply. I've been following the generative AI conversation on and off for so long now and I have yet to find a single argument that justifies it's cost. I don't think I have much to add that hasn't been said before. I think it is unethical, unsustainable, irresponsible, dangerous, harmful, theft, I can go on. It is not intelligent and it's not generative, it doesn't think, it can't reason it's guided guessing based on statistics. it's not creating anything new either it's just pulling from a database of stolen human content and mashing it together, it can't be trained on itself either so it needs constant human input too. I just don't see the point? 🫠 It's some kind of gimmicky toy made to appeal to the most annoying people imaginable by the most annoying people imaginable to profit from and at immense cost to everyone else. It's negatively impacting every creative industry in every way and even affecting the way we learn, communicate and engage with media. It's invading everything and making it objectively worse lmao. It's also dangerous in countless ways. An environmental disaster too and for what!! aaaaa It feels like a huge cultural setback and technological dead end and it's so depressing. I wish I had something positive to add after so much ranting but I don't 😔 The impact of this on creative fields among others is undeniable and I fear will make things harder for a while but I'd like to think that it's still early days and there are so many people fighting to regulate this mess and we all can help by advocating and boycotting at the very least.

If anything this whole debacle has made me examine my relationship with art more deeply and I realize I love the process of making art more than I love the result. The space between idea and finished piece that is all me, I'm in there!! and I love it there!! I can't see myself doing anything else or relegating this part. This will change things at a societal and economical level but people will always make art. I don't know where I'm going with this, I don't think the philosophical is a good angle to center the conversation on either, but I guess it's a comfort 😭 'In the dark times Will there also be singing? Yes, there will also be singing. About the dark times.' poem comes to mind

This reply got away from me oh my god sjfkhg I'm focusing on the art side of things here of course but I could go on about the damage to plenty of other fields but I don't feel qualified enough aaaa anyway Thank you so much for the kind words you are very sweet and I hope you don't let all this discourage you 🥺❤️ we will be alright!!

Snoops (Snake Boops)

"Are you done yet?"

Twelve would like to come back to his own adventures, not participate in The Doctor × Posing

And more screenshots, cos I love love love this game

Do you have your own comfort game you love to come back to? I'm curious

I have several ones I find cosy and resty

since twitter users are migrating here i figured i should make one of these since i was also one of you at one point :)

welcome to tumblr! here's how to do it aka a list of things i wish someone told me when i first joined

we ACTUALLY USE THE BLOCK BUTTON. there's no harm in blocking someone. i know you feel like blocking means the other person "won" or you're conceding or blah blah blah but no. blocking is for your own peace of mind. and you can block for any reason! don't like their vibe? hate the layout? bad opinions on your faves? block and go on with your life

cannot stress this enough. LIKES DON'T DO JACKSHIT HERE. yk the bookmarking feature on twitter? where it lets you save tweets for later? that's what likes are on tumblr. they're a way to save a post. they don't make that post show up on other people's dashboards or anything. reblogging on the other hand? THAT'S what spreads posts. reblogging is like liking AND retweeting at the same time.

2nd 'cannot stress this enough'- if you're on desktop, USE THE SHINIGAMI EYES EXTENSION. it'll help you know which blogs are terfs/radfems so that you can block and avoid them and tell your friends who to block and avoid.

you can never truly delete a post. oh sure you can delete the original. but once someone reblogs it? it's there forever. you can still see all the reblogs that everyone has reblogged of that post. same with editing- if you edit the original, only the original changes. the reblogged version stays the same.

you don't lump words together to hashtag. for example, if i wanna tag something as percy jackson, i don't write "#percyjackson". i write "#percy jackson".

you'll notice that when ppl reblog, they talk a ton in the tags. that's what they're for. if you wanna add something to the post but you don't think it's important enough for the main post section, you add it in the tags.

you know how on twitter you can follow topics. that's what tags are like here. on twitter i would follow the topic "percy jackson" but on tumblr i gotta follow the tag "#percy jackson"

another one i can't stress enough- anons on here are NOTHING like curiouscat or tellonym. they are not there for you to spew hate unabashedly. we don't believe in cowardice here. you got a problem w/ someone? say it on main or keep your mouth shut. anons are for people who are too shy to ask questions with their account visible.

comments (while not as useful as rbs) are still good. comment a ton! it helps you talk to other people and express any opinions

there is no such thing as clout here. the only ppl who have it are neil gaiman, neil cicierega, and those 2015 youtubers (dnp, thomas sanders, tyler oakley, etc). no one can see your follower count but you. anyone you follow could have 50 followers or 50,000 followers and you would never know unless they told you. it honestly doesn't matter.

GIVE YOUR BLOG A HEADER AND PFP. don't just use the one tumblr automatically sets for you. people will think you're a bot and block you instantly because if there's one thing people HATE on this site? it's bots.

same if your blog is empty. post something, rb something, just do SOMETHING otherwise you'll be assumed to be a bot

the "based on your likes" feature is not based on your likes. at all. not in the slightest. so just toggle it off tbh

tumblr is like a massive archive. it is 100% normal to see posts from 2012 or reblogged posts from accounts that have been deactivated to circle around again.

there are so many fuckin porn bots on here. just block them

your likes and follows aren't public unless you toggle that feature on, but people can see when you like and follow them

for extra privacy, you can hide your blog from search results (including external sites like google or yahoo), make it only viewable within the tumblr dashboard, or password protect it (ppl will have to enter a password in order to view it).

turning on submissions basically means that users can submit posts to your blog. you don't have to allow the submission but if you do, it'll have a small heading underneath the text that says "submitted by (insert username here)". you can turn on and off any types of submissions you want to allow or not allow

i'll add some more in rbs bc i hit word limit

How I feel like everytime when I post some art

Been a while since my last Good Omens art 😊

A speedpaint video of this will be available at my Patreon soon! you can also find prints of my art at my Store

Today's perfect snow for making New Year's Eve perfect ☃️🎄💙
