    A co-worker recently asked which AI I used to make some drawings in a presentation. I made them all by hand in Inkscape, so I’m not sure if I should feel good or bad about the question.

        I’m lucky to have colleagues that understand that doing things with AI, that are supposed to reach some audience, will feel low effort to said audience. Like, if I’m tryna sell someone my shit I better not half-ass advertising. Not to mention broken telephone game of me explaining stuff to AI for AI to explain it to potential clientele.

        I’ve watched my niece and nephews do their homework and since it’s all done online, they literally copypaste the question into chatgpt, then copypaste the answer.

        This is what happens when you ditch pen and paper (there have also been studies showing that handwriting activates different parts of the brain that increases memory retention or something like that, too lazy to look it up). Anyway, we can look forward to gen alpha coworkers not knowing how to do anything if this is how they do their homework.

        You should’ve kept the original slide and made sure to give them credit when presenting it: “and before we go to the next slide, I wanted to give a huge thank you to so-and-so for their contribution to this presentation!” *everybody claps*

          It was someone in a higher position than I, and I’m 4 months in to the role. So…

    I miss the good honest deception of spending hours trying to make misinformation pieces for fun. Truly, people are too lazy to even hoax authentically anymore, truly a shame.

    Time to go back to commissioning portraits from painters who forage to make their own pigments.

    Really annoys me that people look at old shopped images or CGI videos and go “I think this is AI”.

    I saw someone reposting this video and people were like “oh that’s got to be AI” but no, it’s a Blender video from 2021, guys.

    I’m old enough to remember when Photoshop became a thing and everyone said it was the end of the world as we know it.

    That we won’t be able to trust images ever again, that people would use it to mass produce misinformation and it would lead to abuse.

    I can’t tell if that was a mad panic or if that’s exactly what happened though.

      I remember that too, except it took actual talent to do so in those days. Back in the days, we had like one or two images the far-right made and claimed to be real. Now we have thousands if not millions.

      They seemed to have figured out fingers for the most part, but it’s the empty eyes that freak me out. I can’t express it very well but they all see to have no “focus,” as if they’re staring into the void even though they almost always depict people who are taking part in some sort of activity.

    So people don’t know how to use language anymore?

    Or is tech literacy so low that people don’t even understand the difference between an edited image, and some absurd slop generated bt a trash machine?

      Yes

      Because Corel bought it up and ruined it.

      BTW, those image macro memes with the Impact font? Originally they were made with Paint Shop Pro, as it had built-in support for text outlines. In Photoshop, you have to fiddle with it to get that thing working.

        I dunno, I think it was sad and forgotten even before Corel bought it. Also Corel has a soft spot in my heart due to the free copy of Corel Painter that was included with the graphics tablet my granny bought me in the early 2000s.
