How I wasted my time in november... Will be my last AI generated image, I promise, don't hit me.

So, AI is the new fad right? She's really nice though... I love her.

Wait, you mean AI as in artificial intelligence? How's it work, you just say Siri draw me a furry chick or something?

Text-to-image generators are small simulated brains which have learned to progressively remove noise from images to the point that they can generate a new image from pure noise and some textual description. The technology matured this year and now any amateur can download such a brain copy, put it on a server or personal computer and make it generate amazing pictures. During these last monthes, people also put back some brains in training by feeding them with porn and yiff. So now one can download a small brain who will happily produce as much naughty pictures as you want. Now if you want to make your AI generate art in your own style, and not generic stereotyped anthro art, you need more AI tooling so to inject your style in the AI's skillset. I've not tried this yet, so as an artist I've been quite disappointed by what I get. For example, I can't put a satisfying kangaroo tail to this nude character. I'd like her to have a kind of shark/otter/dragon tail but any attempt of mine to modify the IA inputs fails miserably.

AI is taking over...Art now will become a "hobby" at most, like coloring in a coloring book or painting a pumpkin at Halloween. It's over, man! xD Lol I heard all about this a while ago - the Japanese have pretty much perfected these AI image generators but they are now being used for various "bad things" I won't say what but just imagine and you will know what I am talking about. Kiwifarms has a thread about it in any case.

My gut-feeling is that downloading one of these 'brain copies' is a horrible idea because the main feature of AI is that it writes its own code. The establishment's excuse for all the things Edward Snowden has proven is 'hey it's all done by privately owned corporations so it's not the government so it's OK'. In the future they're going to say 'hey it's all done by AI so it's not a privately owned corporation so it's OK'. Except the only problem is the AI has written code 'to survive' so it'll be impossible to get rid of. Even if you go out and buy a new computer.

That looks great! I can't get A.I. to make anything even close to this. It works great at generating weird shit, though.

She's angry about something, I think.

What a cute crybunny! Aw man, I just want to give those ears a little tug

Xod posting? Me nothing to say? Whatever, I comment.

She's pissed off they're called 'tampons' when they should be called 'tamp ins'...

I can feel her pain!

She is angry at you for not posting more art

She's right, I don't believe what happened to her! And check out that motion blur on panel 8, I don't know if he was more excited by the mention of the Hitchhiker's Guide or by the appearance of the disembodied rabbit head. Both are interesting subjects for discussion!

And just in case you don't know who The Specials are... https://twitter.com/ScarredForLife2/status/1540745918961446914?cxt=HHwWhMCjzYCQ6uEqAAAA Oh wait, wrong link... Try this one! https://twitter.com/ScarredForLife2/status/1419954481236688910?cxt=HHwWnICytfrE2LQnAAAA FUCK!!! I meant this one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYMFZEn8UBI Okay hang on, this is it for sure this time. Duck Duck Go is your friend... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ2oXzrnti4

So what you're saying is that the Specials have stretchy necks, but having a stretchy neck isn't special?

That's right! For the time being they're The Averages!

ha

Hope there's room for a newcomer...

Welcome! ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )

Hey, I never expected you'd show up here. Welcome aboard. 8)

Hi there and welcome, I love your cute art!

I used to frequent oekaki boards all the time back in the day. Something just reminded me of them, so I sought them out and funny I found this particular one. Yo, Pig.

Welcome to this wacky place!

A belated welcome! Enjoy your stay and/or visit

Welcome! That's a great doodle! Your signature looks very interesting too. Like Lovecraft's elder sign.

It's a Masonic symbol! If only we had an ex-mason here to decode its meaning.

Today I learned oeakaki apps still wprk on iPad. Crazy. (Edited on August 20, 2022, 9:14 pm)

Welcome back Syd, good to see you again! And good use of the iPad!

FYI iPads were developed specifically for oekakis. Steve Ligma Jobs was a true visionary!

Nice eyes.

Maybe oekaki will be like CD's and never really go away. If I recall correctly didn't iPads come out at about the time oekaki started to die? Sydney: Did it seem like all the functions worked for you? I've never had an iPad...

Hey, Sidney! Welcome back ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )

Random link time! https://twitter.com/ScarredForLife2/status/1540745918961446914?cxt=HHwWhMCjzYCQ6uEqAAAA

You know, this is probably for the best! I have a feeling that was a boring event anyway and this will liven it up.

Aw snap, Pintizzy's in the hizzy! This little shindig about to be lit up breh! Before it's over with, they're all gonna be butt-ass naked and painting shirts on each other! Now that's a party!

It is now!

Well, I guess I am glad I could assist in the development of a whole field of psychology at least!

WOW! Who is this devilishly handsome bug man speaking true facts???

U!!!

Holy crap your artwork is frikkin' excellent! Did you go all the way back to Pinders' first drawing of this 'fursona' for a reference? The recent drawing he did didn't really show much more than his face. There's no way you got him so spot on from looking at MY scribbles of him.

Well thank you B! That is very kind. Yes, I referred to Pin's original drawing! You shouldn't put down your drawings as scribbles because they're very personally expressive and valuable. How people redesign things is informative!

Honestly, this is a much better version of him/me than the ones I've drawn, so as far as I'm concerned this is the official pinderbug design :'D

I mean why else would they have that sign? Let's go!

People behaving like this is why they had to come up with reverse psychology

I thought the sign would say Coming Out.

B, the funniest part about that would be it would imply I have ever put on a veneer of any sort of straightness!

The madcap world of trying to get vehicles working right when they are not.

Time for your yearly bath

I love your inking style!

Me too! I'm thinking the truck is half Ford and half Fargo which is awesome. I could go on forever talking about how I've jerry-rigged my old trucks to keep them going. My old Chev has a glass jar for an coolant expansion tank and I've got a turn-buckle holding the thermostat housing on to the head of my Land Rover. The engine is so shot I even had to make what I call 'the second exhaust' coming out of the oil filler tube.

Just go ahead and replace everything; it's the only way to be sure

Yearly bath??? Isn't that a little too frequent? Thanks for the compliments on the inking! Brentos, I love those repairs you mentioned, that kind of stuff is great for art gags (also very clever in reality!) The truck might be a Fordargo! The good thing about replacing everything is you end up with enough parts for a whole new vehicle!
