Using generative tools to do little art challenges like Nanowrimo or inktober or whatever is like dowloading one of those apps that are supposed to help you work up to doing 100 pushups and lying to it about how many pushups you’re doing. The point is just to motivate you to do the work

Good analogy :)

Totally agree. CONFESSION: I trick Pokémon GO into thinking I'm on the treadmill so I can hatch eggs without walking, but that's because I'm disabled and literally cannot do enough walking to get decent game rewards. But I play PoGo collect Pokémon, not to be coaxed into exercising.

If you're a professional, then you need the practice. And if you're using AI to craft an email to be read by your boss's AI, then what's the point?

So true, I used to lie myself about the inktober, at the end of the day I only did like 4 days and quit because I wasn't popular, this year I have different mindset to make it and I'm already having good ideas and motivation. No more cheating to myself.

Reminds me of the people who cheat their Fitbit step counts. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Making the model for this character from a soup of resources to generate a series of reference images, to draw her myself by hand, later on is one thing. Pretending the images are themselves art in any capacity is horseshit, plain and simple.

This is the definition of hell omg

ppl def do that tho

Reminds me of a friend who had this app to remind you to drink water by making little cartoon plants grow. Someone was like “can’t you just lie to it about how much water you drink?” And he was like “if I can remember to lie to the app I can remember to drink the water”

Like fr?? What’s the point of measuring how much ur writing when ur not the one writing it 😭😭
