An Act of Resistance

@davidrevoy It's pretty ironic since this actual strip (and all your work for that matter) you did with your own hand and mind is actually perfect.
@Stem
Thank you Stemy! -
@davidrevoy I have mixed reactions to the message. I agree that doing something by ourselves is an act of resistance, but I feel that doing things imperfectly is completely on brand with the current AI slop. Quality, accuracy, precision, ... do not seem to have any role in the AI world the tech bros are trying to create.
@antopatriarca Don't mix imperfect with bad; many creators are just preventing themselves to share their creation because a subjective feeling of having to make things perfect. They can be tempted by using the plagiarism machine for escaping this feeling or , on another hand, go reverse and embrace a philosophy like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi , that's what my message convey here, as well as enjoying the process and the benefits of seing in the self-reflection of our efforts something to be proud.

@davidrevoy Your lighting, shadows and details on the cloth square in the lower left panel jumped out at me: beautiful!
@poleguy Thank you for noticing the subtle transparency of the fabric.

@davidrevoy Where's the love button?
There must be a love button somewhere around here!
@emmetoneill
Thank you Emmet! -
@davidrevoy i hate my brain sometimes
i look at this picture and the first thing that come up in my brain is "kinky"( At the same time, I can understand the feeling if one imagine being playfully gagged by a gothic woman.

@light You have a point, we should not forget that being criticized then becoming normalized is what happens to technology since ages.
@light That's why in my speech-bubble the "With your own [...] mind" part is important.
If AI was just a "tooling" upgrade as your metaphor suggest about comparing it with a tech upgrade like computers did ~ 50 years ago, I would have no problem with it ... mostly (OK, still have problem with the energy part, the massive rip of online content for the dataset too, and their control/dev by the largest worst companies in world.)

@davidrevoy menfin, mais écrabouille le tout entier directement ce faux piaf a la fin!

@davidrevoy I LOVE the Avian Intelligence series
@NeroBurner Thank you

@davidrevoy An even better solution is a bag with which to cover the bird’s head. Everyone knows that birds go to sleep when it gets dark, even if the dark is artificial.
@ELS TIL here! Seriously, I had no idea it was a thing. Visually, if I painted that, it would look like a harder torture or kidnapping technique, imo.
But thank you for the feedback! -

@poleguy Thank you for noticing the subtle transparency of the fabric.
@davidrevoy You gave me too much credit. Now I see it. Wow. I was actually impressed right off the bat by the lighting and shading of the folds. Now I'm doubly impressed. (The other panels are also great, but wow!)

@davidrevoy My mother, who is now 87 taught me how hard it was to draw fabric and showed me the basics of how to do it.
Seeing your work wants me to go back and do my life over and lean in to the drawing side harder. What an inspiration!
(Not really, of course: I could/might still lean in to that whenever I want to: no regrets.... I love where I landed.)
Keep it up!

But thank you for the feedback!@davidrevoy In any case, I love the artwork!

@davidrevoy As a software engineer, the main message I receive in this world is to make things fast, sacrificing on quality, ethics and everything we have learned. So your message somehow triggered my hatred for all the vibe-coding messages I see around me. I understand the art world is different, and I do actually enjoy making my own private, very imperfect art. This is why I had mixed feelings; it triggered something deep in me, even if I understood and agreed with your message with my head. I suppose I never realised I am starting to have almost PTSD from all of this.

@antopatriarca I totally understand your reaction toward AI slop, vibe coding, and all this mediocre content. True, my usage of "making something imperfectly" can unfortunately be mistaken for that.
I'm also tired about this, about the rules like 'find the 20% that does the 80%' , the pressure of the late stage capitalism in all area to rush and produce low quality for the highest price.
It's hard in all of this to make a room for the 'imperfect but authentic' art form or craft. -

@davidrevoy proof that Avian Intelligence is better than Artificial Intelligence because you can actually shut it up like that.

@davidrevoy C'est marrant, l'intelligence aviaire est le seul arc du mini fantasy theater à avoir plus de deux épisodes. Apparemment, le sujet est très inspirant.
