It's been a several years in the making but WTWA finally has one home for all the issues. I couldn't imagine when I started this that it would take this long. And, after having WTWA removed from Tapas, I've definitely had to work through a lot of negative emotions while making this move.
But it really was all worth it. To have WTWA safe and in an accepting, fan creation environment means so much.
And, to kick off this major move, I want to gift you all with TWO things.
First, a brand new issue of WTWA has been updated with the move - Issue #255.
It's been over a year since our last update so ya'll DESERVE this one.
And second, as you can see above, we have a new comic trailer!
I feel like this new trailer really gives a great flavor of both past, present, and future WTWA. I've been working on it for way too long, so I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to message/reply with any theories. 👀
Thank you all for your kindness and patience as I worked on this major transfer. I am so happy and proud to finally have it completed.
A.I. photos are flooding social media and contributing to an Internet where we can't believe what we see. Spotting A.I. 📷s is an important media literacy skill.
None of us have time to research every image we see. We just need people to notice BEFORE THEY LIKE OR SHARE that an image might be fake. If unsure, check it or don't share.
I've started drawing some comics explaining the basic of AI spot-checking and media literacy in the age of disinformation. Follow along here or on my Twitter.
Frankly, I suspect a lot of whatever Izutsumi's malfunction is has less to do with being a catgirl who's more cat than girl and more to do with being seventeen.
The internet is flooded with AI-generated photos and they're getting harder to spot.
Most of the time AI is used for click-farming, but lately images have been used in fake news stories and product scams.
Most important: THINK CRITICALLY. AI will eventually get too good to make obvious mistakes. Being media literate means checking not just if an image is real, but if the source is trustworthy.
If you're not sure, don't share! You might be spreading misinformation.
