'Life imitating art,

is a philosophical position or observation about how real behaviors or real events sometimes resemble, or feel inspired by, works of fiction and art'. /Header gif made by @burntotears!/ can't beat em? join em! or something like that. RPF hater turned lover. Bad apples are in every single fandom, RPF is not the problem. I'm 26 btw. also @darkness-follows and @lordship-posts are my two other blogs. the first for running a kcd community and the second for more hansry related content. Where all Tom and Luke are are besties..here however? they fuck each other stupid ♡

Casual reminder that i do have a McDale Server with a cozy little number of only ten members ! So its fairly tame and comfy. We probably wont go over 20 people so it is somewhat limited acess. We just like keeping it small :)

If you are interested in a place where we write unhinged mcdale things or have a 'how many times is tom licking his lips in the streamly lives' counter feel free to send me a DM to join !!!!

(We also have a talk chat for rewatching streams together!)

We however do not accept or tolerate people who write McDale things into Tom's or Luke's social Media!!!!! Absolute no go. Leave em be please. This is for the private part of the Web.

???? Are you proship??

I am a normal person who understands thought crimes are not real, fiction is not reality, and people can read/write/enjoy whatever they want as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed. I don’t have to like it, because I know how to mute, block and scroll past what I don’t want to see. Overall I think labels are childish, but by definition I am proship and profic. I am also against censorship.

And if you (general you) shame or harass real people over fiction, you’re a bully and this blog is not a safe place for you.

[darkness-follows]

I'm so fucking tired of this.

I hate hate HATE AI. I hate it with such a passion then again, its not the Problem.

People are.

The people who created it, the people that are using it are the fucking Problem.

You are a problem if you use AI for random bullshit or to sneak your way into creative spaces or fandom spaces because you lack the skill or the drive to learn it yourself.

Please im begging you while its annoying you can learn ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you can learn how to draw or how to write.

You can learn how to sing or how to play the piano. Please never ever be afraid of learning.

Thats what they want, they want you to go lazy to not use your brain and to stop learning...

(This Post btw does not count for anyone with a disability in which AI makes it able for you to participate in creative things you otherwise wouldnt be able to do!)

“this fic portrays problematic ship” then don’t read it

“this fic romanticizes bad things” then don’t read it

“this fic makes me uncomfortable and angry” then don’t read it

“this fic about my favorite fictional character goes against everything the character believes in in canon” then don’t read it

all of the problems you have with somebody else’s fanfic can be very easily solved by the act of Not Reading It

scroll past a fic if it’s something you don’t like, filter out tags about things you don’t want to see

no one forces you to read a fic that upsets you. also you can stop reading any fic at any time you want.

harassing real people over fiction will not make you morally superior. it just makes you a bully

How to spot AI-generated images/videos!

Are you tired of AI-generated fan content and don't want to reblog it accidentally, but aren't able to properly recognise the signs and tells? I'd love to help you out 🙂‍↕️🫶 Unfortunately, it's not always as simple as "look at the hands". To the people who told me they feel stupid for not being able to spot the signs: Spotting gen-AI content isn't a test of smarts, it's a test of exposure. Explanations under the cut!

Logic

Generative AI tends to get complicated objects wrong. Faulty logic needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis, but I'll give you an example anyway. In the video stills of AI-generated hansry gifs below, the AI had to make up parts of the clothing because they were cropped out or otherwise hidden - and did a terrible job. The pourpoint in the first picture usually has a row of buttons going all the way down to the belt. Here, they suddenly stop in the middle of the chest. In the second picture, Henry's gauntlet has no fingers... All gauntlets in the game cover the entire hand. And speaking of gauntlets: In the third picture, the gauntlet's bottom part is the wrong way around. What you can see in the picture is supposed to be the inside of the gauntlet...

It's worth mentioning that the movement in the gifs is very uncanny, too. But this is more of a feeling, not something I can point out with examples.

Continuity

This is often seen in AI-generated comics. Across panels, a character's appearance might change. This example is a page preview of KCD2's comic book which has since been taken down. Watch the man lose his micro bangs over the course of a single panel.

Another example is objects blending into or vanishing behind other objects - interrupting its continuity. Behind this man's back, his spear isn't connected. And the gun's strap... disappears into the woman's sleeve?? Not to mention her arm is completely dislocated.

Symmetry & Patterns

Symmetry tends to be off, too, especially in jewellery. For example: mismatched/missing earrings.

And patterns... Oh, patterns. They're a mess. WHAT ARE THESE.

Text

3nd ANIVERSARY? QUTIEO?? I won't even attempt to decipher the tattoos.

BELT.

I don't think I need to elaborate here... AI-generated belts don't make any sense. What are some of these wrapping around? Why are most of the buckles not functional?

Honourary mention:

Girl, where is your thumb?

Brushes off dust

The girls are flirting 😏

[darkness-follows]

AI does NOT love you btw.

Your character.AI and chatgpt crap is not only destroying the planet (which you btw also live on) its also giving you cyberpsychosis.

Repeat it again.

AI DOES NOT LOVE OR CARE ABOUT YOU.

You are nothing to it, just a speck they can suck more data from.

Your character AI friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, parent, does not give a shit about you.

But then who does?

A real human. A real friend. A real family member. I know it's hard to make friends i know there are some shitty people out there but human connection is and always will be irreplaceable.
