getting harder and harder to do any art that’s not “AI art.”

wanna write a story that’s not written with the help of a shitty LLM trained on the work of everyone, willing or not, who’s ever used the application you’re writing in? ….better turn off the spellcheck

(I do, of course, because like other machine-learned shit these days it doesn’t even work well enough to be worth it)

wanna make a drawing completely free of gen-AI influence? okay, get your paper, pencils, watercolors, mixed media… but then? as soon as you take a photo of it with your smartphone to share online, it’s still gonna end up AI-enhanced

there’s ways to avoid this still, but they’re getting fewer and farther between

fuck the enshittification of the world
