last week i saw a person at uni reading a book on their computer like this. i wanted to take a picture but then i remembered it’s more fun, funnier, and more respectful to just doodle it afterwards :3

(Poorly) drawn on Android, via the FOSS app Butterfly (I don't use it much, but I recommend it if you want a basic FOSS drawing app to do the occasional doodle in)

Thanks OP for inspiring me to doodle this silly little thing. It's been years since I did much drawing, so it was fun to get out of my comfort zone.

Painted these little goobers today, gonna make Christmas ornaments

I drew on some wood a few weeks ago. Need to find some more wood scraps to try some more.

Here's a little fella

My son drew his younger brother the other day. Now, I'm not saying it's a shitty scribble, but it's no Vermeer. I'll take this over any AI slop or those garbage NFTs because this little drawing will always be more valuable to me.

Drew this little fella for inktober

I can get behind this.

I am practising making cakes

"Shitty scribble" is a risky level of open-to-interpretation

Qwok

AGREED.

nothing triggers me more when I go on shitty youtube, and see a video for a videogame and they used AI to generate garbage when a literal in-game screenshot is free and 1 keystroke...

it's dishonest and I immediately assume the 'content slop creator' doesn't give a damn

I’m embracing gaucher and messier stuff in my graphic design work, because at a certain point it’s just my style and it’s not from a canva bot. Weird how like it took the slop-death of the internet to get some pride in my rougher edges

Here's a happy bowl of cereal

I'd rather see your shittiest scribble than one AI slop

What am I supposed to do with this, then?

Same. Instant upvote. Those matter!

Sadly not true, people will tear apart the smallest mistakes.

Here's a happy chappy regardless

It has been amazing watching the transformation around San Francisco the past few years. Just a few years ago, all the billboard advertisements and conversations you would hear were about cloud services or big data. The whole start up grifting ecosystem quickly changed to AI everything. Now every advertisement is some stupid company that wants you to use its "harness" or "router" in addition to paying for your model access. Everyone is trying to keep up the same hype game but now everyone is just a glorified prompt engineer sitting between your money and a handful of AI companies. It's a very weird ecosystem to see a lot of people trying to sell useless shit to each other with Anthropic/OpenAI/etc in the middle.

And if you're some poor bastard just getting out of school hoping to get into any kind of job and you think being a prompt engineer is going to be a career path.. Just LOL

And the internet responds with buckets of downvotes for low effort posts

a while back I (not on this account) posted something like this in !microblogmemes@lemmy.world and people commented aigen pictures of napkin doodles :(

edit: actually i found the post and it was just one guy, maybe not all comments are federated to my current instance tho

I aint looking to see either.

John Frusciante's first few solo albums are so much better than any lifeless AI-generated music

Snail Mail's first EP Stick, which I believe is only on YouTube

Julien Baker's first band Forrister / The Star Killers, which you can find on Bandcamp

Red Hot Chili Peppers' first demo EP

The list goes on and on. They're not polished, but they're better than the polished turds AI makes

the family face is what does it for me. its what makes it feel human and not just represent whatever the internet thinks
