I just use DDG image search. Started drawing a bit recently and use online images as a starting point sometimes.
Planning on carving a board game on a wooden board, same rules as the game of Ur but possibly going with a different theme for decorating the board. Anglo-Saxon runes, axes and round shields. Been drawing them on paper as a planning stage and to practice as I would draw the outline on wood before carving it.
Reminder: the term "bouncing off ideas" was pushed by AI evangelists to get artists to use chatbots.
Letting insinuate the initiative is on robot? but in reality, you need to order or command it to brainstorm right? not to mention answering back for clarity and feedback. Opposite of cuck who have no choice in that matter ?
What a wonderful image, might set it as a desktop background at work.
Gonna copy pasta one of my previous comments because it's relevant again:
I’m going to argue that how you use the lying machine determines if it’s slop, not if you use it.
“Generate a character profile for Alexander the blacksmith.” Slop.
“Ask me questions about Alexander the blacksmith so I can further develop his character.” Not slop.
“Summarize everything I explained about Alexander the blacksmith in the format of a wiki article.” Could be slop, might not be, depends on how diligent you were about not letting the lying machine have creative control. Needs to be reviewed for accuracy of course.
And for the record, I was a DM for years before generative ai was a thing. Running a campaign is ton of work, even with shortcuts. Don’t insult your DM like this.

Which is ironic of Lemmy to agree with OP because it is also here in Lemmy, where i learned about making the correct prompt to get the best out of AI!
Why use lot thought when few thought do trick?
There should be a way to acknowledge two things being true at the same time, but that way was never discovered on Lemmy.
"AI is mostly bad" and "AI can be useful at times" are both true statements. You sacrifice nothing by acknowledging both, and thinking you have to pick between the two is, ironically, mentally lazy af.
Most people agree that there are legitimate applications for LLM technology, like in the medical field. This comes up every single thread.
Then you have trillions of dollars of investment on the promise of eroding worker power, and letting capital enunciate itself without labour. That's what it's essentially all for.
The "legitimate" uses of the technology are not even a passing concern for investors except insofar as they can point to it to excuse their grift.
What is the legitimate use for LLMs in the medical field?
Like medical research, discovering drugs, folding proteins. There's also evidence they can be used to help analyse x-rays.
You say most people believe this, but I see many people every day for weeks now claiming Linux is vibecoded now. Why? Three stories: 1) months ago LLM use was not outright banned in kernel development 2) Linus admitted to using LLMs in an experimental branch to find and patch bugs 3) a recent shift in attitude happened, toward LLM-driven PRs because there were too many, and the reaction from Linus and the other maintainers was to raise the bar for submitting PRs to reduce the chance of slop wasting people's time.
All of this was a series of level headed responses and course corrections which at no time was indicative of anything more than LLMs are useful sometimes. Yet people all over Lemmy are saying shit like "Linux is all in on vibecoding". Besides that issue, I've seen and been involved in many conversations where idiots will say that any use of AI is super unethical and unacceptable. The binary thinking on this issue is strong on here.
Ah well I agree I would Linux love maintainers to take a more principled stance against LLM contributions given all the negative externalities of the technology as it exists today.
there's a strong case to be made that there is no way to use the current "frontier" models ethically because of how they were trained and who their patrons are. I would love to see that acknowledged.
"Asbestos is extremely toxic" and "asbestos can be useful and irreplacable at times" are both true. So are "lead is poisonous" and "tetraetillead is an effective anti-knocking agent, lead in solder stops tin whiskers from forming, and lead paint is pretty".
Also that's how racism got normalized again, after getting closer to putting it back into the cemetery of history. And so is every LGBTQ+-phobia you can name. Or even better: the tobacco industry, the alcohol industry, and the gambling industry all promote "responsible use" of their products.
Because utilitarians are amoral. In fact, the AI ethics "intellectuals" are usually utilitarians, as seen with "Longtermism" and "Effective Altruism."
You need to realize that your stance is not going to be enough.
But utilitarianism is a moral system. How can it be amoral...? Its by definition a moral system. You could put fort the argument that it can sometimes reach immoral conclusions, but calling it amoral is just... mixing things up at best and being disingenuous at worse.
Because it's not about persons or beings, it is about accounting towards a goal.
Pointing to a moral horizon in the future where things "balance out" is a tool to dismiss moral distinctions in the current, lived context.
Are you seriously considering people on the internet should start acknowledging nuance? Smh.
I just want to be angry and right - and personally insult you; even though I know nothing about you outside of a sentence or two that I just read.
It is sad that your comment's second half is 100% accurate for seemingly most users
I know right? Get a load of that guy. Nuance. psh, shaw. This is the internet! We only do extremes and horny posting round these parts!
Using it as a tool to speed up your own work is completely different from passing off its work as yours or using it to do someone else’s work
I was just reminded of Robot Unicorn Attack looking at this post.
Great mobile game
I didn't go through 8 years of grueling computer science and engineering education to ask an AI to do my fucking job.
But your a cyborg. Wouldn't asking an AI just be like asking your pet dog to do a trick here?
That's racist
But like... in a bad way.
Why do they only draw the unicorns female. I’ve never seen unicorn dong.
That's not a unicorn. It's a whatever Pegasus is.
Why do they only draw the ~~pegasuses~~ pterippi female. I’ve ~~never~~ seen ~~pegasus~~ pterippi dong.
Edit: s/pegasus/pterippus/, and also in researching the correct terminology I have now seen Pegasus dong. I did not want to see that.
Small dong
That's because you're unattractive to unicorns.
This hurt my self esteem more than I ever expected it could
:(
Yo if you want to see unicorn dong, derpibooru has your back. Plenty of unicorn dong everywhere
