Raindrop-plop - Artistic Noodle

100% using these as an exordium for the discussion im leading on this book tomorrow thank you

I know no one, absolutely no one, is going to even come across this post, but if it does, mere coincidence! these are the memes that i created of The Chronicle of a Death Foretold

Consider me crazy, but it is worth memeing

Only people who read it recently will understand 😭

Rita and Jet are queer platonic and no one can tell me differently

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

Juno: So apparently the 'bad vibes' I’ve been feeling are actually severe psychological distress

been thinking about it, and y'know what, even if we had actual a.i. and not Autocomplete Fueled By Plagiarism, and even if it was capable of producing visual art that felt good to look at, or written works that held up for more than a page or two, i would still oppose using a.i. in this way because like. at some point you've gotta ask yourself, what kind of world do you want to live in?

and the fact of the matter is, if we outsource any significant amount of creativity to computer programs, that is going to make it much, much harder for people to make a living being creative. and our capitalist hellscape being what it is, that will ultimately mean fewer people in the world making art. why take any step to bring us farther from the urge to make shit out of nothing? why rush to automate away some of the few tasks that are fun and fulfilling, and can bring joy and meaning to our lives? what jobs will those people have instead? boring jobs? no jobs?

what kind of world do you want to live in?
