See now we're fucking talking
One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes:
*No AI or No Convention*
Conventions are made by and for the community
Greg Baldwin, the voice of Uncle Iroh, responds to a post criticizing LGBTQ+ and disabled representation in ‘Avatar’:
“So sorry LGBTQ and disabled people exist. That must be traumatic for you.”
If you can't adopt there are lots of other things you can do to help. Foster, volunteer, fundraise, do a supply drive, sign up for your local shelter's newsletter to find out other ways to help.
Remember that volunteering doesn't necessarily mean physical labor - shelters need all kinds of skills!
Here, my personal "how to make digital art with no drawing tablet" starter pack
A USB image scanner goes for like $50-$80 on Amazon. Printer paper is like $10. Pencils are like $3. Paint .net is free, use the beizer curve tool to its max.
These were my tools when I started digital art. #AntiAI
Sketch the drawing on the paper. Scan it (or take a photo with the sketch as straight as possible). Use your mouse and the beizer curve tool to line your art. Bonus points, use FireAlpaca (also a free program) to do rendering, also with mouse.
You don't need a Wacom and CSP to get into digital art
Sincerity is a precious resource
The people providing it are just as valuable
It would be far better to leave the world behind having reinforced the values you lived by and actually standing for something, than to spend your life painting over everything meaningful with irony and indifference.
Maybe I’m going on my high-horse a bit, but I’ve always had a quiet disdain for irony-pilled humour. While a detached mindset can be funny in moderation, I think the world needs more sincerity and genuine care, rather than less of it.
Call me a fuckin’ Boy Scout, but eh. I literally was one.
What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.
The only AI I 'use' is shit foisted on me - summaries and slop vomited on my screen as part of internet browsing or injected into programs I work with until I turn those settings off or rip those parts out by the roots.
Getting a bit tired of very rich actors and directors saying ‘AI is here we have to learn how to use it’ instead of ‘I am wealthy enough to dedicate myself only to projects which employ talented human beings because anything else is an existential threat to human storytelling’
