HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Captain Kirk!

[marsoid]

Ok, just wondering but honestly... what is the big deal to you that people are creating and using chat bots with your characters? It seems like almost all of them do give you proper credit.

I could see being upset if people were profiting from it (I'm more thinking the actual people and not the site, different issues, I can totally understand you having a problem with the site.) but you seem to be ok with people doing fanart and fanfics of your characters, so I don't really understand why your taking such a hard line with this and calling your fans who are using these bots "fucking ass dork losers" because they want to interact with your characters in a way that is a bit more responsive than just writing a fanfic.

Because I didn't give them permission to use my characters this way. And anyone who uses gen ai in any way is unfortunately, a fucking dork ass loser

[marsoid]

I am explicitly stating that I do not give permission for any of my characters, stories, or other IP, to be used to train AI art, writing, or otherwise. Generative AI is a pretty new thing, relatively speaking, and it is also different from regular video game AI btw, which has been around pretty much forever. They’re two different things

I am allowed to be angry at anything for any reason. It’s not unfair for me to feel any type of way, especially in response to people using my characters in a way I don’t approve of.

I didn’t say anyone who’s ever interacted with gen AI is awful, I said they’re Fucking Dork Ass Losers ™️ (scientifically accurate title).

It sounds like you’re confusing me being upset with me like. Hunting them down and hitting them with my car. That would be unfair and a tiny bit of an overreaction. Would be very funny tho

I know most people aren’t shot out the pussy knowing everything there is to know about everything (like i was) so assuming you’re actually interested in learning why normal people hate gen AI so much, here’s a few things to bring you up to speed:

The spread of AI data centers is larger, more numerous, and faster-growing than anything that has come before to the electric utilities. The

What Are the Environmental Impacts of Artificial Intelligence? 

A single AI-focused data center can use as much electricity as a small city and as much water as a large neighborhood. 

How generative AI is affecting people’s minds

Psychology experts have many concerns about the potential impact of AI on the human mind.

Op-Ed: AI art is art theft and should be a crime - The Eagle

As uncertainty around AI grows, artists need legal protections

(Also i just gotta point out the absurdity of trying to explain to somebody why you shouldn’t take someone else’s characters and feed them to an ai machine. Apologies to my followers who came for art and instead get. This LOL)

FUCKING PREACH IT, MARS

Don't ever feed an artist's art to AI, kids. Don't fucking do it. And I want to add a part that Mars didn't even bring up here: AI is *not* """accurate""" character representation, whether it's generated fics or chatbots. AI algorithms are designed to be people-pleasing, to be addictive, to have you coming back for more, to get you hooked. That's why it's called slop. Slop means there *is NO driving emotional logic* behind an AI's responses, no matter how convincing it seems. There is no *artist* or *author* present who is making *emotionally-relevant* choices for dialogue or story. It will always just be a machine trying to make the sloppy crack that you like that will keep you coming back to it. This is not even you interacting with a Disney World version of Cinderella, where there's an actor behind the mask directing the choices; this is you dealing with a homunculus, a wraith version of the thing that brought you joy in the first place. It will appear so seductively fun and easy and Exactly What You Want It To Be that you'll get fucking hooked and never have to go outside and deal with *real fucking people* who you might have a chance of building real fucking relationships with.

I also want to be clear: I've worked in the tech industry for over a decade. I'm not using techy or academic language on purpose because I want you to understand what's going on, but you can easily google this shit. "AI psychosis" is a good place to start.

Get off AI, kids. Get off of it, I beg of you. For all of the environmental and cognitive health reasons, but also so that you can engage with the world-and fandom-in a way that will actually enrich your life. Don't destroy the very joy that the art brought you in the first place.

And if it wasn't fucking clear.... don't be a Fucking Dork Ass Loser about my art either. I want to clearly say that I do not give anyone permission to put my art or writing in any AI under any circumstances.

So, Cairo Week is coming up, right? And I completely missed out on last year because life was crazy for the second half of 2025.

As such, here's a very, veeery late artwork for the Defenestration prompt. Kinda catch-up work, kinda promo for the upcoming Cairo Week. ;)

On a side note, I've been dipping my artist toes into a more painterly style. Which is fun.

Short life update: I've done it. I moved with my cats all the way to the other end of the country. We've arrived well, the cats are still a bit spooked, but settling in. I don't have WLAN up and running yet and I'm missing a desk, so actual fanwork updates are probably gonna take a while longer. But. An important step has been finished.

Here's a picture of the fur gremlins inspecting their new kingdom

I had the most horrendous train ride on Tuesday. The train ended up with a TWO HOURS (!) delay in the end. Which meant all possible connecting trains were gone and it was only thanks to my dad (who's the best!) who hopped in the car in the middle of the night to come get me, that I arrived at all and didn't end up stranded.

But! It was worth it. I travelled home for a job interview yesterday. And I got the confirmation today! The job I wanted, I the area I wanted, all set. I'm ecstatic!
