another otta headcanon is that at least a couple of her femmes dated her as a middle age crisis thing where otta is the metaphorical pool boy to their upper middle class recent divorcee

so they get to feel like cougars while also reasoning that otta is 100+ years older than them so it doesn't count

and i think otta fell for this more than once because these 25+ year old half-foot women are more likely to be sexually forward and otta thinks she has to be a dom top to be butch but actually she really craves being told what to do

if you are genuinely worried about undergrad students cheating using chatGPT you have either bought into the marketing hype or you're admitting that the only thing you look for when grading is "basically grammatically correct sentences, some of which are obstensibly about the topic"

#yeah i mean thats it #the post this post is vaguing kept bothering me and i couldnt quite articulate why #its because you shouldnt need to ban chatgpt if youre already grading papers on quality

well it turns out the girl we stalked and psychologically tortured for twenty years did something fucked up afterwards (clarification: she didn't actually do what we're accusing her of) so our harassment campaign turned out to be completely justified

#learning that she didnt go to jail for the thing everyone said was so surreal #like i always felt pity for lolcows especially THE lolcow but it was wild to learn after the fact people were just lying #either her charges were public info and therefore the rumors were easily disproven or the charges were not in which case theres no evidence #and then everyone still just said that shit

Among the many downsides of AI-generated art: it's bad at revising. You know, the biggest part of the process when working on commissioned art.

Original "deer in a grocery store" request from chatgpt (which calls on dalle3 for image generation):

revision 5 (trying to give the fawn spots, trying to fix the shadows that were making it appear to hover):

I had it restore its own Jesus fresco.

Original:

Erased the face, asked it to restore the image to as good as when it was first painted:

Wait tumblr makes the image really low-res, let me zoom in on Jesus's face.

Original:

Restored:

One revision later:

Here's the full "restored" face in context:

Every time AI is asked to revise an image, it either wipes it and starts over or makes it more and more of a disaster. People who work with AI-generated imagery have to adapt their creative vision to what comes out of the system - or go in with a mentality that anything that fits the brief is good enough.

I'm not surprised that there are some places looking for cheap filler images that don't mind the problems with AI-generated imagery. But for everyone else I think it's quickly becoming clear that you need a real artist, not a knockoff.

somebody will rightfully notice that europeans are really fucking weird about romani people and there will always be 1 person in the comments going "okay it's not racist, you just don't understand, bleeding heart americans, i promise my brother tony had an experience which proves they're all raping theives and hitler was right about them" and not seem to be aware of how much they sound like americans talking about black ppl

#if they had said romani people are also dirty disease carriers this wouldve been a perfect demonstration of the phenomenon #its actually incredible that so many Europeans seem to have this one blind spot in common
