At the coffee shop I go to with my dog almost everyday, Oz has become a little celebrity. Today like 5 people started cheering when he came in, and they surrounded him and were all petting him ❤️ One of the baristas actually picked him up and cuddled him, which was shocking that he let her because he is usually wary about people other than me and a few close friends holding him. It was just very sweet to see him get so much admiration and love 💕
Benny extorted pizza crusts from the people sitting across from us on the patio last night by making eyes at them. Everywhere we go people walk by exclaiming that he’s cute and I can’t leave my apartment without at least one person asking to pet him! He gets just as much attention as he did when he was a baby and people often think he’s still a puppy… some might find this annoying but he loves meeting new friends more than anything so if he’s happy I’m happy 🫶 and it’s really nice seeing the joy he brings to people’s day!!! He’s a star 🌟
I hate wearing glasses. I hate feeling them on my face, but contacts would be my own personal hell. Please give me the motivation to wear them like I should
My name is Shawna. I responded “oh my god! My name is Shawn, too!” Then stuttered through saying “wait, no, that’s not my name.” and since I was so anxious I just rambled for way to long about the difference between our names.
Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual people’s actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AI’s biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because it’s a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children don’t use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists don’t use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas don’t exist, as if cardboard and tape aren’t in over abundance.
