Have you seen that clown who's whining on twitter that someone used his prompt without his consent and not giving him credit. And he's shocked that the image that Al spitted for him got less likes than the one generated for that other person using the same prompt xD He's complaining about big accounts that don't post original content and he says "Worst of all, these people then make money from my work." I'm crying-laughing. He doesn't even see his hypocrisy. People spell it out for him in the comments and his brain idk malfunctions? somehow that he doesn't see how it's analogous to artists being taken advantage of. He has his answers ready: "I use Al for fun and you're afraid of it." Maybe he should take the advice of those alike him and idk "be glad people steal from him because it means they like his prompts" or "maybe he should stop posting his prompts publicly where everyone can take them" or he should just "cope" dunno. Are people really that stupid? It's terrifying.

I want to reblog some positive text post but I only have sad and ironic ones in my likes

Every social media is so dead for me. I go to insta, it's just shorts and reels of random things and tons of posts from people I don't even follow. I don't want to watch videos, I want photos. I go to twitter and omg what even is this site anymore. It's just junk. I follow artists but I don't ever see anything from them, just tons of angry people being angry about everything all the time. Like... I get it, I am too, but sometimes it's too much. And even when I go to "people I follow" on both of those sites it shows me the same few posts. On tumblr... it's just idk, there's nothing that interests me anymore. And of course everywhere there's just tons of bots I don't want to read or interact with. And I know I don't post that much these days but also, I don't feel much joy in posting my art because it always feels like I throw things into a huge black hole from which nothing comes back. Besides I don't think I can offer anything engaging since I'm not into drawing fanart anymore. Anyway, I wish I didn't suck at human interaction. Maybe if I did more myself I'd make it work but I have so little energy it lasts only to fuel my excitement for writing a few words of my stories every other day. It seems I can't find more to make other people excited about my stuff too. Sometimes I really miss the hp and sherlock days. Even my ghost story appeared to be more fun for people. :) Now it feels like I'm alone in my ball pit.

Does Al also make you paranoid?

Look at this picture. Is it art or is it an Al generated image? Look at this text. Is this useful piece of information or Al gibberish? Look at this video? Is this real or fake?

I stare at drawings, analysing every line, I go through people's social media to see if they're artists or thieves. I look for references and take a close look at every image because I don't want to reference distorted reality. I show someone a video of snow falling somewhere and instead of "look how beautiful" I go "do you think this exists?" and I read something and then give up recognising dry like a summer desert language of a robot. I hate it here.

Today's no different. I see a picture that looks kinda nice but I immediately notice there's something wrong with it. I go to the source and there's more. Every day the person adds a new fully finished piece. Under every piece people (because they can sense something's off) ask the owner of the account what medium he uses. The answer is: "I've been using the computer to create my art since 1980, and then I print it with a vintage ink on my epson printer". The fuck? Sounds like the printer does more work that he does on the computer. They guy's old, I give him the benefit of the doubt, his bio says he's a curator of art in some institute. One of the commenters says he posts regularly and his "style" didn't change much. I go through his feed. In fact his "style" changes a lot. But oh, most of the images he posts belong to other people who have their own exhibitions and no online presence, and it's all Al shit, clear as day. I scroll down and it turns out the guy used to be into abstract art, there's tons of it before Al started to ruin everything. In another life I'd scroll past that pretentious fuck without losing 12 minutes of my life. I hate it here. I see another artist and they seem legit but even when I see their art with all the human imperfections I can't shake the feeling they reference Al images. I see their process video but I cannot tell if they're just new to digital art and they use traditional methods or it's a bit shady. Am I paranoid or their video is just recorded that way, because I've already seen the erasing liars and pretending idiots.

It's exhausting. Constant vigilance! I don't want to waste my time on something people didn't bother to spend their time creating. They don't care about their thing, why should I?

#jabbernaty #before anyone attacks #no I don't think abstract art is pretentious #the guy who pretends he doesn't use Al and promotes other thieves calling himself a curator of art definitely is #with his antique ink and epson printer #am I too negative lately? perhaps #I need a hug or something idk

People who don't announce their visit earlier are the worst kind of people. Would it hurt you to call a day or even an hour before you impose your presence on someone? Oh we were just passing by and thought we'd visit... I hate it, I hate it so much!

And I guess tumblr doesn't give a shit about making this app functional. I still can't download images to my phone after that stupid update (I regret updating this mess, I so regret it!). I searched for tumblr in the app store and lol it says the app won't work on my phone (who would've thought) so now my phone is the problem. And other people have the same error while attempting to download images.

Everything is less and less functional. Google is a huge trash can where you can't find anything except for absolutely useless Al articles and pictures, search options don't work either. Instagram at this point is just a sponsored stream of consciousness, twitter is bots, any art site is Al poop.

Some time ago I saw people were trying to satiate the algorithm monster, now they start to give up, post less because who even looks at their work when it's all hidden under a pile of rubbish. I see less interactions because everyone is tired of everything and it's sad to look at all this.

#jabbernaty #i'm slow with art and writing and I wonder if I should even continue with this #maybe I should leave social media and focus on other stuff #or just keep that new writing account on insta in case I ever have an update on my story and that's it #idk right now everything is very underwhelming and unsatisfying

Does this app even work? It constantly unlikes the posts I like, it takes multiple attempts to open the notes and it fails to load them. And I can't save images on my phone at all because there's some error that says "oops sorry fuck yourself". And some frog is harrassing me saying I block ads when all I see on my feed is ads. This is so annoying!

Why are authors so scared of 3 or 4 stars ratings? Do people even read reviews? Or the star rating is the only thing they take into consideration while choosing a book to read? Personally I rarely read 5 stars reviews because there's not much substance to them, it's usually "this was amazing, I loved everything, so good" without details. I start with 1 star reviews and if they're like "I hated it" or "it wasn't for me" I know the book is all right. When 2 stars reviewers mention "I hated it because it was so slow and not much happened, there was too much romance, why so much swearing" it's even better. And I love 3 stars reviews because they usually give so much info about what works and what doesn't in the book, and they can sell the book better that any 5 stars review for me. (I also love positive reviews that are very passionate, they're also extremely convincing sometimes, but I still need some details to back up the opinion.) Anyway, no book it perfect, besides, sometimes you can see all the imperfections and stupid things about the book and still love it. And I get it as someone who writes and draws, how much work and heart and bravery you need to create something and show it to people to judge but also expecting everyone to love everything you do is so unrealistic. Not rating a book just because you didn't like it is fine, you don't have to give away your time to something but sometimes a few words about what was wrong with it can help someone else decide they actually want to read it or save them some money and time. Idk.

I like watching journaling videos. It's very calming to watch people tear paper, and compose little artsy pages with washi tape and stickers. But it's really disheartening to see more and more stationery is made by Al. As if there's not enough beautiful things made by humans.

I saw a video where a person bought a set of stickers and she liked it so much she scanned one piece and used Al to make a bigger, slightly different version of the image and then printed it to use it. Someone in the comments noticed that it sucks to feed creative human labour to the machine and it's not fair to the artist. What that person in the comments didn't know and I noticed was... the sticker set was made with Al and the used image was generated by a machine in the first place. It was so ironic. But also really sad.

It's sad we stopped caring for little things, don't notice tiny details, don't appreciate the precision and heart put into things. We ignore the rock in our shoes not understanding our foot will soon start to bleed. We want everything and we want it now. And these days everything is just quantity over quality. Clothes made of plastic fall apart, food is filler and antibiotics, detergents are rubbish. And it all costs double. Because we let it pass and because people are greedy. And things made with care start to disappear and it's super fucking tragic.

It's so weird to be on social media again. I don't know how to make posts and everything looks different now haha. Not writing in english for a long time also makes me super anxious aaaahhh xD

The fact that people will do anything to make your life just a little bit harder without any reason... I hate this world so much. I fucking hate stupid people so, so much.

Drawing men is harder than drawing women :/ I don't like that.

Well, it's unfortunate with P*treon. I'll probably have to delete all the nsfw drawings from there, I'm not going to send them my id and my photos. What even is the point of verifying the age of creators. What does it even change? They should have an option to state "I'm an adult" or "I'm underage" and the underage option should have the thing that prevents the creator from creating nsfw content. That's it. They should worry about some illegal content and if kids don't see content not meant for them and it's still the responsibility of parents and adults around those kids most of all. This is ridiculous.
