I don't care how much you hate AI, alt text and image descriptions are for accessibility. Putting gibberish in there alongside your descriptions to "poison" data sets defeats the purpose of having a description. Tumblr has a button in the settings panel to block scrapers from using your blog for AI training. Use that and give screen reader users a break from having to wait for your gibberish description to end before they can move onto the next post.

I've seen people reblogging this with comments along the lines of "what discourse did I miss". You didn't miss any discourse, this is based on me clicking the alt text of some fan art on my dash and seeing the artist adding a whole paragraph of nonsense at the end with a little "this is for the bots" disclaimer.

"But why do you let your disability stop you?" Because that's.... what disabilities... do. That's... literally the basic definition... of being disabled... A disability impairs your ability to function. That's what the term means. That's the main thing

Now that Hytale is here, I'm reminiscing about these shark-inspired mob design ideas I sketched out five years ago.

An attempt to diversify our idea of sharks in games, moving beyond the old stereotypes of aggressive mobs without depth! 🦈✨

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

hello fellow artists. google has fallen. pinterest/duckduckgo AI filters don't work. do not despair; here is a list i made of places to find reference images without having to sift through piles of worthless garbage. (for future editing convenience i am just linking my blog post on dreamwidth.)

✨ good places to find art reference that are not full of AI trash 🌈
