does anyone else just get triggered and mad at nothing and then feel like total idiots after the fact? happened to me in romhack shack because i had a case of mania, and i really wish i wasn't such an emotional trainwreck but Humans Run On Their Emotions so i can't just shut that shit away

also fuck you to the dumbass piece of shit soccer fan(s?) who kept firing firecrackers in my building or whatever because like benfica won? i hope you get skinned alive with rusty razors covered in salt, my dog was fucking shivering and quivering and i could not get a moment of peace because he was too stressed to let me relax

LITERALLY KILL YOURSELVES

Meanwhile over in the world of rampant legalese, it was discovered that ChatGPT does not, in fact, do any research for the articles it assembles, instead relying on statistical models to fill in the blanks. (Site is Ad-walled, but the ads don't seem to be overly intrusive?)

normies have clearly never used cleverbot and it shows.

we should not trust people with AI at all i feel, someday you'll have some dumbass at google or whatever asking AI to create code for security processes or whatever

(semi unrelated tangent below)

thinking abt that one thai furry artist i saw a few days ago who used AI as a base for a background and instead of using the slurried vomit mess verbatim he actually painted over it to make it actually good.

but most people who use AI """art""" as a cheap way to chase clout don't bother with practicing their art skills because they're lazy cunts so you have frauds claiming that their disfigured generic, amalgamated slop is anywhere near the same artistic level of like sonic fanart on deviantart by a 6yo who's just starting out, when it's far below that, as the latter actually has effort placed on it

we somehow invented a huge swath of the population who's even worse than rcdart. truly, manmade horrors beyond our comprehension. this is what happens after the general public kept propping up art skill as "a talent" that someone must be born with for the past few decades and mocking poorly drawn art by people who are barely starting out. fucking hate normies

That's kind of unfortunate, literature reviews (comparable to reviewing past legal cases) are, like, the one part of research that I find really tedious and boring, so it's the big thing I was hoping AI could automate.

In art, I think using it for stuff like backgrounds is a good application, letting the artist get assistance on the less important part of the piece, while creating the set piece themselves. I suppose painting over the background is an improvement, but I'd think just keeping it would also be fine, as long as it looks decent.

The big thing is that AI tends to look like a massive slurry trying to cram so much data from other people's art used without permission, so painting over it is usually best.

Right now the main limitation is that briefs, motions, rulings, etc. can't be reviewed in a vacuum the way ChatGPT has to do it (since the AI is primarily focused on "what would look natural when filled in here" it has a tendency to fill in hallucinatory information; I asked it how it can discern between true/fictitious/hallucinatory and it very flatly said "I can't."). Like with the art talk going on in parallel with this talk, using an AI as a starting point is acceptable but you still have to put in the elbow grease, otherwise you're treating your AI like a slave rather than as a tool.

Preach

More people need to learn that it's okay to suck at art, we basically need to poop out all our sucky art first with our fingies or some such before we get to draw like Buronson or whatever. Drawing and art in general, not just visual, is hard, using almost any shortcut is fine as long as you don't plagiarise, like trace someone else's pic almost entirely and claim its yours, claim an AI output is your work etc. Just do your best and you'll become good eventually.

There is the chance you may find yourself in a rut but what matters is that you're drawing for yourself when it doesn't come to work related pieces, and ruts can be usually fixed by experimentation and further practice. Art block is somewhat the same.

Just don't forget the number one rule, reference, reference, reference. Having an image or a photo, - or a posed 3D model even, wooden mannequins exist for a reason - to help guide your hand on how to portray something is essential.

Also wow Ulala's voice actress is super cool, but for some reason I expected her to be black?

Vic: The big thing there is western style toilets, all the rage. In general they have squat toilets everywhere, which are nasty nasty things to use. They are supposed to be very higenic, but I'm sorry I just can't do it. They have western style toilets in the bathroom at Gamearts, but they sort of go for overkill. They have western style toilets with control panels, heated seats, built in bidets, air pump-up cushions with ladders for different sensitivities, for when you sit down. I'd never seen a toilet like that. When I walked in I'm like oh my god, it's like Star Trek or something.

I sit down and I look at this LCD readout with like knobs and stuff, and all in Japanese of course. Kanji of course, which I can't read at all, you'd think it would be nice if it was in hiragana or katakana. I'm going what does this do and what does this do, and so I get up go to check out some of the buttons to see what they did, and I push this one button and this little hook comes swinging out from underneath the toilet, shoots a stream of water right in my crotch, all over it, it was this built in bidet…..

I jumped out of the way, it shoots past me and goes all over the mirror and everywhere. I came walking out of there with this completely wet crotch that I could not dry. Everybody knew exactly what happened, because apparently whenever a Gaigin goes over there they always come out with a wet crotch, because they always push the button. So, that’s the cool bidet.

Love my bidet, I've never felt fresher. Also like, it's way cheaper in the long run? One $80 purchase compared to hundreds of $7 ones?

i fucking adore being so ravaged by the after effects of the school system and "gifted child" culture that i keep psychologically trolling myself into treating my art as a service i must provide to people to the point that im apologizing for not posting any of it on my twitter. instead of like, me drawing and writing abt cute men and safe stuff for me to help relax and sort of meditate and use as self-therapy, sometimes showing it to my friends or gay folk online, and the safe stuff also to my family just to brighten up their day as a secondary goal

This font and pattern gives me a strange feeling of deja vu, I don't know why. Maybe I'm getting flashbacks of weird flash games from the 2000s, but it's such a vague memory that I have no idea of what it actually reminds me of, at least not in concrete terms.

Was due for a name change. Our logo, that does not exist (and isn't even ours as I'm not the talkhaus), will not be changed. Demo will remain the mascot. :demo:
