@davidrevoy I LOVE the Avian Intelligence series

@davidrevoy First small goal to wipe out the Avian Intelligence industry

This is why I sometimes consider just making art traditionally. AI still can’t do that (not yet anyway) and no one can accuse you of being slop artist (tho im sure some one will still say otherwise)

@davidrevoy Your lighting, shadows and details on the cloth square in the lower left panel jumped out at me: beautiful!
@poleguy @davidrevoy I was going to post the same thing. The shading and detail on the fabric is so satisfying. It really has a weight to it. Also, love her facial expressions in this strip especially the bottom left panel. Well done!

@davidrevoy i hate my brain sometimes
i look at this picture and the first thing that come up in my brain is "kinky"@Greuppe @davidrevoy It is so incredibly kinky to resist LLMs and GenAI, and bully the companies pushing them.

@cthos Thank you for having the charity to think that even my mistakes are done on purpose for the good of the comic; but I'm actually less intelligent than that. Just the irony, and a proof I should probably use a DeepL thing to proofread my speechbubble, but because there is AI in everything, I tend to skip it.
Thank you also about this new mini series!@davidrevoy @cthos you should not use such, yes. Humans will gladly do it

@davidrevoy Glad this is not AI

@davidrevoy … at least until the cyberparrot figures out it can use its beak to chew through the fabric.

@davidrevoy This is great!

@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.

@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.

@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!

Thank you Emmet! -

@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.)
