What a year! Honestly, I personally & professionally restructured & reprioritized. I started drawing again, did a short design contract with a cannabis company, facilitated a monarch festival, mural project, holiday market, & even started another short design contract with a nature org. Life's good🥰

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about
screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed

the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized

text says:

Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved.
Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. 
Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch.
This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

Dude acting like he doesn't publicly complain and denounce the DBIA org online and get people riled up. I appreciate someone changing their mind after being given more information, but weird to act like he isn't a large part of how this is communicated to the public.

Are there still ways to run a business or freelance without social media? Is they key just boundaries and balance? Or is it still possible to go quite offline and still get work? Asking for ME.

Capitalization affects how people read hashtags or how people hear them on screen readers. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in hashtags instead of lowercase. You could have #DoctorWhoRewatch ("Doctor Who Rewatch") or #doctorwhorewatch ("doctor whore watch.")

When I see any sort of arts-related, creative business, gallery, org, etc using Ai (even just for mockups or stock imagery), I feel it completely diminishes credibility. If your whole business/org is within the realm of "the arts" then it feels very counterintuitive to your brand values, period.

Solidarity with folks striking in CUPW and OPSEU unions... Strikes are popping up everywhere in recent years, and it's easy to blame the workers for the inconveniences we see via the frontlines. Let's not forget that it isn't the workers who are withholding fair wages & making cuts to jobs/security.
