CEOs last year: This technology will replace all the workers and possibly create an extinction event. CEOs now: Ya’ll have an attitude problem

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

I used to just ignore emails from companies promoting AI this or AI that. But their are so many these days that I started copy/pasting this in reply. I don't think people living in their tech bubbles realize how big the AI backlash is getting.

Is Affinity's software going totally free to use? Hmm. So this website magically appeared on the internet a few hours before Canva's 1pm keynote. www.affinity.studio

New review up on the YouTubes. I really really like the new Wacom Android tablet. This is the art I made for the review.

It's amazing how fast many YouTube Creators stopped using AI to make their thumbnails. The audience has already been conditioned to equate AI with slop so if your thumbnail looks like AI people just don't click it.

My current tech pet peeve is people saying that if a screen isn't OLED it sucks. I've seen some damn good LCDs lately. While in general OLED is a better technology it's doesn't mean and LCD is generally bad.

SCAM ALERT! My favorite part of running a YouTube channel are all the people scamming in my name. If you got an email like this don't pay them. it's not me. 🤦 But if anyone wants to mess with them the email they are using is bradcolbowcollaboration@gmail.com

The coolest part of Marathon was the art direction. They lifted some graphics wholesale from this artist but the game's art direction is basically HER style. I know, I know... If you're a multi-billion dollar company it's not illegal to steal an art style.... but it still makes you an asshole.

It was 10 years ago today that I bought @procreate.com on what was then called the iTunes store. The best $6 I ever spent.

Playing with the idea of adding lip syncing to videos. What do you think? look OK? needs more work? Worth pursuing this style over the choppy mouth-less Brad?

3 weeks into this hand drawing exercise and two things have become clear. First, I am really getting better at this. Second, I’m so sick of drawing hands. 😂

11 years ago I thought it was to late to start a YouTube channel. Glad I didn't listen.

I’m declaring February Hand drawing month… for me anyway. I’m terrible at drawing hands. So I’m going to practice every day and hopefully get a video at the end of all of this. Day one I started by learning from one of the greats Andrew Loomis.

Two video coming out soon. The first is an animated short I started over a year ago as part of my Procreate Dreams review. I decided to finish it and get it out there. The second video is a breakdown of how I made that video. The software I used, the steps I took and what I learned along the way.

Just catching up on the whole Honey YouTube scam thing... and so many things make so much sense now! For years I've been trying to figure out how my affiliate revenue keeps going down while my YouTube views have continued to go up.

A gentle breeze rocks the house of cards.

Article screenshot: Adobe's stock drop highlights a fundamental disconnect over AI. Adobe's management team is bullish on the AI opportunity in creative services, but Wall Street is growing impatient on the revenue Runway.

A chart shows Adobe is down 16% the past five days, a sharp decline and loss of $87 a share.

I'm currently rewatching some of my reviews from earlier this year for my year end roundup. I've reviewed 22 tablets/laptops this year... I can't remember what was good and what wasn't.

Double down on quality storytelling. The deluge of AI slop is coming. People's desire for authentic human made content is going to go up as big companies cut corners. www.thebookseller.com/news/new-pub...
