Hi!

AI generated images are largely looked down upon in the art community as these models rely on millions of pieces of art taken without the consent of the affected artists for their output. Moreover, they cannot be copyrighted.. On some websites, AI generated images fall under the rule against art theft, meaning that uploading AI generated images could get your account restricted or even banned.

Drawing can be super fun, and the benefit of drawing over prompting is that you can draw something to look exactly how you want it to look, in the style that you want it to look. There are a plethora of YouTube channels that can help you learn how to draw, and I’m here if you would like any advice on drawing something specific!

Commissioning an artist to draw for you is another option, there are a lot of amazing artists out there who all have their own style, so take a look around and see which of their styles vibes with you!

Lookout Landing from Tears of The Kingdom is both relaxing and reassuring to me.

Not a “town” per se, but a camp setting in Pikmin 4. Something about this song just instantly relaxes me and makes me reminisce about hot afternoon summer barbeques.

I buy fast food because I can get it quickly and because it tastes good to me. There’s nothing quite like getting a fresh serving of battered fries covered in sauce when you’re hungry and too tired to cook! 😋

Airports, train stations, and cafes.

Airports are rather formative to me, as well as train stations for much of the same reason, and both airports and train stations have cafes, or at the very least the ones I’ve visited typically do. There’s nothing quite like the vibe of being at an airport at 7 AM on a sunny morning about to embark on a journey into the wide blue yonder while the scent of coffee pleasantly floods your olfactory system.

I didn’t know about that but that was interesting to read about and now I know what it’s called, thank you! 😃

• The way I pronounce the word “sorry” as well as my inflection whenever I’m speaking. Only my close friends whom I speak to in private know what my voice sounds like.

• There are words I’ve made up that I jokingly use around friends. An impostor would not know about this as I speak to my friends privately and I never join chat servers, where bad actors could be eavesdropping. A wrong answer or “I don’t know” would out them as an impostor.

• My art. I will deliberately make “mistakes” in my art that are subtle enough to not be seen by most people, but I will be able to tell if someone is trying to copy it. Map makers do something similar.

• Other random details only my friends know about that’d immediately out an impostor once asked.

The feeling of being loved.

Love the highlighting and colouring! What markers did you use for this if you don’t mind me asking? The colouring looks very clean and mostly lacks those lines you get when you colour with regular markers.

You definitely shouldn’t take them for granite.

These models rely on pre existing art for their output, usually art which is taken without the artist’s consent, which is why a US District Court ruled that AI generated images cannot be copyrighted. If the AI’s output relies on pre existing art that has been taken without consent, then uploading it is largely considered to be art theft, and by changing the style that would also be considered modifying someone’s art without permission.

The way I see it is that it’s a bit like tracing. I’d be okay with someone tracing my art if it helps them practise, under the condition that they do not upload the traced piece or any parts that were traced from my drawings. If they uploaded something that has been traced, that would be art theft and I would be eligible to report it.

Nope, in my case I’ve had good experiences with them. The important thing to consider here is that these authorities aren’t a monolith, they’re individuals. How one cop deals with something can vary vastly compared to how another cop will deal with it, teachers will often have their own style of teaching and level of competency, et cetera.

Had a shared laughing fit that lasted for several hours.

I was at the movies with my friend, it was a horror movie, both of us enjoyed the genre and the trailers looked decent. There were several very cliched scenes in it, silly jumpscares, and unintentionally funny scenes that were made way funnier by the fact that my friend would not stop making jokes and references. It got to a point where people in the theater were giving us weird looks because we wouldn’t couldn’t stop giggling and laughing at both the movie and the jokes we were making up about it. After we got home we kept repeating our jokes and references that we made up about the movie while playing Mario Kart and we just kept crashing into each other all the time and not actually racing because both of us were laughing too hard 😂 I’m pretty sure it took like two days for my sides to feel normal again.

Love your voidie and tabby! They look so comfortable here, it’s making me feel sleepy! 😌

I pronounce it like “Trav-is-his”

Inclination to trust people after an abuse of loyalty.

I saw a classmate who didn’t appear to have any friends, and I felt bad for them, so I started sitting next to them at the dinner tables and we quickly became friends. I’d only known them for maybe two weeks at most, when they suddenly demanded a large sum of money from me, money which I neither had at the time, and a transaction that my family would not have approved of. I politely declined their request, and their whole personality changed after that.

They got jealous whenever I was talking with my other friends. They started to send me aggressive messages, and started to spread rumours about me, rumours which were not believed due to my good standing with everyone, lack of evidence, and also because of how bizarre they were. I even had people come up to me and tell me, "Elaine, they’re making up stuff about you, what’s going on?"I believe they may have gotten expelled because a few days later they stopped showing up to school.

I think with time it’ll get better, but I’m going to be at least a little suspicious of people. Time will tell.

I’m on too many to list here, but here’s a few, I’m on Tumblr where I post my art, Cara, and Newgrounds

Been having such a great time so far!!

Me! I’m new to social media in general, decided to engage with it earlier this year by looking up lists of social media sites and then joined the ones I could find that I vibed with!

Fluffy angel: Happy angel noises

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!

A blue Pikmin named Lure who would follow me around everywhere hahaha
