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.

Like, completely wrong name. How? Not sure. Bursting out laughing from the hilarity of getting my own name wrong didn't help either. I think it's why we're not close to this day 😭

i thought it was kinda funny to give people a completely different name when they ask for mine but i did it to this girl once and the joke went on for too long. when the reveal finally came it wasn’t that funny anymore bc i had been quietly laughing to myself about it like a psycho for days and she was just confused. i would still do it again.

i'm half puerto rican and i do think a lot about how me and all my siblings got traditionally white names, but that's a conversation for my therapist
brendan makes enough sense. gets misspelled enough though. but one time recently...
i went to see a movie with my friend PJ, which stands for paris june. she was the ticket holder but i arrived first. i asked the guy if he could just scan one ticket, he asked if i was the ticket holder, and i said no, and he said he could only scan the ticket holder in first, to which i replied that i am the ticket holder. so he scanned my ticket, looked at the screen that comes up for amc stubs members, and he looks at me and says "your name is paris?" and i say "it's pj" and he waves me through, and to this day i struggle with the fact that i could believably be called paris (or he didn't care), and i have to stop myself from giving paris out as a fake name at bars because who the hell is named paris

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.
