Don't use AI to write. Use cocaine like a real author.

A lot of discourse online would probably cease if people recognized that the following feelings are entirely different:

“I love this and I’m critical of it.” (I’m aware of this thing’s flaws and am willing to discuss them in spaces where everyone else also enjoys it and isn’t engaging with critique in bad faith.)

“I enjoy this, but I’m critical of it.” (This is something I really enjoy but it frustrates me in ways that make me indistinguishable from a hater.)

“I dislike this and I’m critical of it.” (There are aspects of this thing that I feel are worth bringing up in discussion because I find them distasteful, but have nothing to do with you, a person who likes that thing, unless you try to argue they’re not distasteful and double down. You’ll get a lot farther if you accept every piece of media will have someone going hmmm don’t like that. See the first bullet point.)

“I dislike this because it’s not to my taste.” (There is nothing objectively wrong with this, but it’s not for me personally.)

“I dislike this and I think everyone who likes it is a [insert insult of choice here that ultimately amounts to calling people a Cocomelon smooth brain baby]” (how about you stop that.)

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

Honestly fuck AI for making me have to go on and on defending the dignity of toil like I’m some kind of protestant

Save me Why Are Americans Scared of Dragons by Ursula K. LeGuin (1974). Save me from all that is false, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living
