I’ve officially lost motivation to do literally anything 🫠 whoever took it give it back, I kinda need it for another 12 years at least

TikTok wants me to take a selfie to go live to draw on screen. Guess if I’m doing that 😂

I’m doing the shading! The answer is always starting over

I took a day off cause I’ll be working the weekend. It’s drawing day! Finally! I’m so drained but it’s happening!

Oh the advanced doesn’t even toggle anything 😂 it gets stuck in whatever you first click and never changes unless you do the stupid high quality image, did y’all file all qa 😂 is Gemini approving it’s own prs on autopilot, what is happening 😂

Everyone is adding extra clicks for the sake of having extra clicks. I am now assuming every time an option gets buried it’s either for the sake of pushing an undisclosed ai feature that otherwise nobody would use or you’ve tossed your degrees away and just do whatever random sh the bot recommends

Once upon a time I spent like a summer in the USA and a company was advertising their internet speeds based on how quickly you download a song with it or something like that. This… this reminds me a lot of that. Why is picking a resolution an advanced user assumption 😂 I am losing my mind

I want to just go in a lil cabin and rot. I am exhausted. Yet I need to work to get paid to toss everything out the window within ten business days for bills. Let. Me. Rot.

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Cause honestly, I don’t think a lot of people are remaining atp, the amount of artists I saw being annoyed in the comments of the Claude watermarks cause they use it as ‘tools’, like, we joked around with human made art, but is this really just becoming a niche interest 🤦‍♀️ I’m tireeeed

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

So you go to Cara to avoid ai and get scraped. Is being online anywhere even worth it anymore 💀 do we just lay down and give up at this point, accept wherever you are you are exposed and we just keep moving forward hoping there will remain people that care about what they consume 🫠

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I swear this is becoming ridiculous. Are we hiding stats for engaged viewers and unique viewers in the advanced analytics so people get tired of digging and start clicking on these? Like what are we doing fr

I am absolutely sure YouTube is so not being vibe coded right now

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

“If you use it to copy-edit or translate it will still watermark it as ai even though it was human-made”, no it wasn’t 😂 it stopped being human-made when you feed it in and use the output instead. You know what a human-made translation is? Hiring a translator 😂 oh this crashout is wild 😂

000

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Would have been neat to first make it a possibility to watermark original work so it can’t scrape and consume it in the first place. People seem worried llms will be able to copyright their outputs 😂 I can only laugh at this point, “my stolen gen content is being stolen by the stealing machine wah”

100

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Claude is forced to watermark with metadata generated text and files so it’s clear it’s ai, and people are… angry about it? Why are you angry 👀 were you trying to push slop as not slop 👀 interesting

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I’ll be home alone for an entire week. I’ve forgotten what that’s like. What do I even do other than rot 😂 what do normal people do with their lives 😂

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

A plan is forming in my empty head. I can do thiiiiis 🫡

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Today’s world is just not made for art. And then we wonder why there’s nothing pretty left around us, and everyone ends up fake. And maybe that’s why I’m perpetually sad, it’s something you feel before you see. I don’t know if I can become callous enough to be happy with the way things are going.

000

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

For an artist though that’s kinda shit. I start making a comic and then what? No one that follows for updates actually gets updates? Followers just become a point in a potential vitality metric. That’s pretty broken.

This works for advertising. If you’re selling something, it’s probably great. More eyes see your ad every day without it being a paid ad. You can potentially find customers if you can funnel them out, but most likely if you can have a TikTok shop or get monetized which we can’t

Out of all the views, half are “bonus” views, which now I know is just pushing it to random feeds to check if it can be expanded to a new audience. It’s the concept of constant expansion instead of community building. So only about 10% of people that follow me actually see it on their feeds.

100

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

.. the fact it’s telling me 300 views is outperforming 90% of people w the same following means it’s just not showing those that said “hey, I want to see more of this” more of this.

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Ah ok, so tt just scratches my instant gratification itch. People I know are there, and it’s really just made to slowly feed you notifications so it’s like a pop pop pop and it keeps you there. But also..

If anyone’s down to do the “my sketch your render” collab trade thingy reach out :3 I really wanna try doing that with someone 😭

I ran out of audio books and started listening to live court again, and man never have I ever wanted to punch someone through the screen so bad 😑 love the prosecutor tho. Wish she would punch him for me. I know it’s in the past but pretty please

Have you noticed how few people still use “xD”, cause I sure have

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

I might start pushing all the art goals to when I’m sixty and have more time, this is just unrealistic rn

Just a 7 second loop is like 90 drawings on twos, no wonder I never finish anything 😂 I barely make two per month most of the time

All I’ve done today is coloring with my kids and lemme tell you, it’s been such a good day 🩷

Imma give it another shot for a bit since I don’t see any ai bs anywhere so maybe they fully split the EU from the US. But also this stat is not something to brag about tbh 😂 so maybe nothing’s changed

000

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I just want to exist online and enjoy the things I enjoy without having to worry about all this bs, when did that become a fing luxury

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I don’t have the ai thing. Good.

19 steps to opt out babes. Here we go

Oh you have to turn it off per video. Per old video. Oh I’m deleting all my old videos. Down a rabbit hole I go now

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Eu users should be able to opt out from TikTok’s ai training auto opt in or it shouldn’t be operating in the eu right? I just have to figure out how 🧐 but before I start digging, has anyone already figured out how 😂 ngl I kinda still miss the chaos there.

FlawedGremlin @flawedgremlinart.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

If you’re an overthinker give ux design a shot. Something that’s usually ruining my life being the one thing that makes me good at this is neat af.
