AI Bro Boilerplate text.
1 min read
So, looks like DA is being flooded with new AI bros creating accounts and flooding my feed with their AI garbage. Thing is some of them don't know better. I got so tired of writing some variation of "please tag your work" on every new Bro's profile that I finally did some copy pasta, and now use this boilerplate text on their profile before I block them. Feel free to partake of the copypasta deliciousness, tweak it, modify it, embellish it and make it your own. "Please tag your "works" as AI. Those that want to see it can search for it more easily, those that don't, can filter it out more easily. Everyone wins. Otherwise, some people will block you entirely. This sucks because if you ever actually create any human generated art in the future, we won't be able to see it. Anyway, good luck ripping off other artists, repackaging their work and trying to represent it as your own."

Anyone know how to block AI "Art"? Kinda tired of seeing the nonstop stream of AI "Art" in my feed. If anything, it's given me an even greater appreciation of 3d rendered and digitally painted scenes. I've always appreciated the artistry and effort that goes into them, but the absolute flood of AI crap has only made me appreciate it that much more. No, I'm not impressed that you drove up to the McMenu and placed a McOrder for a McPainting with a side of Anime Girl. And then try to talk about your "skill" typing up your order at the drive-through window. Please. You, unlike the other great apes, possess the ability to type up an order at the drive-through window. Congratulations, you don't drag your knuckles! You really want - and think you deserve - praise for that??? Get outta my face. Let's see how well your "skill" holds up when the AIs can't steal every single image on the internet and artists have to opt-in to "train" the AIs. THEN, talk to me about your skill of

Unchained!
0 min read
Ok, so dust off your old cassette tapes, remastered CDs if you have 'em. The Official Theme Song to this blog post is "Unchained" by Van Halen. You either have to be listening to it, or visualize it blasting in the background whilst you read this (all 2 of you who bother. And I apologize in advance if you do!)
So I should preface this by saying that I love my wife....but: she's going out of town to visit her brother in L.A. On the one hand, L.A.'s a pretty cool place so I'm sorta jealous that she gets to go and I 'have to' stay behind. On the other hand, I've visited L.A. before, and my wife is going out of town! Woo hoo! Crank up that Va
