👀👀👀👀any unpopular andreil opinions op?

lmao that depends on what’s popular in your camp of the fandom

i agree with most of what nora says about them in the extra content so yeah i don’t think that they say ily, marry or have kids. they don’t use pet names or nicknames (apart from “junkie”) and don’t do pda. they also never officially come out (like, in a public statement or smth) and they don’t go to pride parades.

also - and i can’t stress this enough - the fact that neil’s demi never causes any drama in their relationship. neil isn’t interested in understanding what his sexuality is exactly or searching for labels - he just knows andrew’s the only person for him and on his part andrew can’t complain about that. i also think both of them are arospec.

The Label Is the Work

There is a study. Duke University, published 2023. Researchers showed participants a set of paintings and labeled them either “human-created” or “AI-created.” The twist: every single painting in the set was AI-generated. Same images. Different labels. Different ratings — across liking, beauty, profundity, and perceived worth — every time, in favor of the “human” ones. The effect wasn’t visual. It was entirely top-down: the label rewired the experience of the object itself.

This is not a niche academic finding. This is a description of how aesthetic judgment actually works for most people, most of the time. You don’t encounter a work in a vacuum. You encounter it with a story attached. The story is part of the work.

Which makes the following cases interesting.

2023. Miles Astray, photographer. He submitted a real photograph of a flamingo — taken on film, no AI involved — to a photography competition’s AI-generated category. To make a point. The image won both jury and public vote. Contest organizers disqualified it when Astray revealed it was real. The photo was too good to be human, apparently. Until it was.

2023. Suzi Dougherty, Sydney. She shot a photograph of her son mid-stride in a Gucci exhibition, mannequins in the background. Entered a local photo contest. Disqualified for being AI-generated. The judge said the image felt “too perfect to be true”. It was a phone photo taken in ten minutes. The mannequins read as uncanny. The son was just photogenic.

2025. The Velvet Sundown. AI folk rock band. Over a million Spotify streams before anyone publicly questioned the source. People added the music to playlists. Then someone noticed the promo photos looked off. Not the music — the photos. The music still sounded the same after the reveal. Only people’s relationship to it changed.

Three cases. Three different directions of the same error. Human work flagged as AI. AI work enjoyed as human. The detector isn’t running on aesthetics — it’s running on suspicion, context, and whatever story arrived first.

The post from Tumblr says AI is always noticeable. Saturation gives it away. Movement gives it away. It’s just so easy to spot.

The data says otherwise. The data says you spot what you’re looking for, and you find what you expect.

#the only reliable way to verify something is or isn’t ai is to check sources #<-agreed #it was easy to spot before #but the more and more these tech companies train their ai #the less easier it becomes to detect which is ai generated and which is made by humans #which is why everyone needs to stop using these gen ai tools like yesterday #anti ai #no to ai generated images

see my problem is if i “listen to my body” it literally only wants to lie down and take naps, all the time

Exactly this. 😏

#what an idiot #no to ai slop #ai is not art #and it will never be

this is the core of why some women defend beauty standards - if they’re deconstructed even a little they have to face how much money/time they’ve sunk into them. it also exposes how untrue “i did it for myself” really is - if that was true, you wouldn’t be upset that other bodies are being uplifted

#baby girl you must examine where your outrage is coming from #why is the female body existing as it is evokes such a response from you?#and anw you're the one who chose to spend your time and money on that shit #she didn't have anything to do with your decision #you should be directing your anger at those creating unrealistic beauty standards #they're the ones who played on your insecurities to get your money #otherwise you're just doing the patriarchy's work for them #internalized misogyny

ao3′s orphaning option is cool and a good idea but mostly very fucking funny. i posted this work for fun when i was younger and i still want people to be able to come back to it if they liked it, but now im an adult professional and i dont want it attached to my name. whats the word for that? umm, anonymously posting? no. i want something that indicates i murdered this story’s parents

kyraneko

technically the story’s parents faked their own death and disappeared to go have an office job, and that’s even funnier

bookcub

for audiobook listeners, what speed do you listen to your books at on average?

0.5-0.9

1.0

1.1-1.5

1.6-2.0

2.1-2.5

2.6-3.0

3.1+

Voting ended onApr 19

i default to 1.0 but if i am eager to reach the end or not feeling the book and reading it for an assignment i speed up to 1.6-2.0. would love to hear others experiences!

#honestly it depends on the narration #if they read too slow for me i speed up a little but not too much (i.e. 2.0 and above)#but if the narrator's speed is perfectly fine i leave it be
