Nic Cage:
He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

If there's one groups in society who NEED to stop using AI to make resources, slides, posters, it's teachers. You're literally showing your students that you used AI to do your own homework. You look like a moron. It's shameful. Do not do this.

reminds me of something an emmy-winning comedy writer said years ago in a shared group chat
I have a theory that a lot of the worst people (Ted Cruz, DOnald Trump) would not be in our hair if they had been able to be even remotely successful in the arts. I believe Elon Musk would give it all up for a couple of spots at the Comedy Store. Unfortuntely, people don't find carrying a sink funny so here we are
and if you've seen the videos of Ted Cruz "acting" in college, youd understand how running for senate was actually the only way he could get on tv

I told my husband that if I found our registration that is clearly in the glovebox after he had failed to find it that he would owe me a sweet treat. Unfortunately this threat has backfired completely because my husband would love nothing more than to get me a sweet treat whenever I ask for it.

Ew I went to look up the sponsors and couldn't even find them. Are they fake sponsors??

I definitely emailed them with a screenshot, pointing out how the poster wasn't even complete, and it was disappointing that they used AI this year when they hadn't in previous years. Who knows what they'll do with that feedback, but someone needs to hear it.

Went to put the Alameda Lighted Yacht Parade on my calendar and saw that their website has a super sloppy AI-generated poster this year. Complete with "logo placeholder" text. So gross and disappointing. Will skip it this year I guess. I wonder how the sponsors feel about this?
Bottom of an event poster that was obviously AI-generated. The sponsor boxes have "logo placeholder" as the text. Barf.

A digital illustration done in a black and white woodcut style similar to Totentanz images by Holbein and others. A skeleton wearing a jester-type cowl with two floppy horns with bells on the ends, and another garment around his shoulders and boots all decorated with bells. He his high stepping and playing some kind of flute. Black lines radiate out from behind him and a banner wraps around at his hips with the words ‘maybe it will happen today’ on it.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, holding a red ball labeled "A SILLY MEME".
The second panel shows Sarah taking the ball and going through a door labeled "GROUP CHAT".
The third panel shows a group of women sitting together and consoling one woman in the center. The woman in the center is saying "...And that's how it happened. It's been the worst day of my life."
The fourth panel shows Sarah standing in the doorway behind them awkwardly holding the red ball.

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.
