Haven't seen this shared around here yet, and it needs to be. Not surprising, considering, but the fact that they didn't even attempt to stop this from happening really highlights how they don't care (& don't expect any actual consequences from their mass thievery) #FuckAI

ChatGPT is adding real cartoonists’ signatures to fake New Yorker cartoons
OpenAI's chatbot isn't just imitating the magazine's style. It's also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.

Thank you! I used a ton of references and was still biting my nails the whole time thinking it would look like some sort of early 🅰️👁️ finger monstrosity. 😅

the speed at which human beings move from "this terrible thing exists" to "everyone just has to learn to live with it" is truly alarming and illuminating. Immediately moving to compliance. Watching this in real time is incredible.

It's the last year of #Drawtober prompts and there aren't that many, hey, let me give it a go. This one is for the first prompt, "Witch's Garden." #Art
Digital art of an elderly woman in a black dress and pointed hat sitting and dissolving into the ground as mushrooms, vines, and leaves overtake her. Her face has green markings making it resemble a skull in places, and her expression is serene.

This fat pigeon doesn’t even know how beautiful she is sitting on top of this old building’s vanity lights
Pigeon standing or sitting on this aluminum rectangular box like structure, which has light shining upward for lighting an old building, with some broken stucco type material on the wall that is kind of a beige color. It’s daytime so the building itself is not really lit up, but the bottom of the pigeon has sort of pink, reddish and green colors from the lighting, the pigeon is just sitting there, looking off to our left.

So Clip Studio Paint took down a ton of faceless, junk-less 3D models that looked like they might be thinking about smooching each other, right? Now search for "dildo" on the assets store. 💀

So did any materials actually win the most recent closed material contest (Theme was "oil.") for Clip Studio Paint or were they too busy censoring materials to pick any winning ones? The tag is empty for me.

One of my favourite moments from Taronga Zoo Sydney: This beautiful Andean Condor. She was on the aviary floor when I arrived, but on seeing me she flew up to a perch and started preening right in front of me. All the other park visitors just walked past, but I was smitten. #birds
Photo of an Andean Condor standing on a rock in the sunlight. She is a very large vulture with black and white feathers, a bald head, and bright red eyes. She is facing away from the viewer (towards the sun), with her wings partly spread.Same subject, much closer to the viewer. She has her back towards the viewer but has turned her head to preen her back feathers and is looking at the viewer with her bright red eyes. Her back feathers are black with subtle iridescent highlights in the sunlight, and she has a fluffy white ruff around the base of her neck.Same subject but she has turned to look directly at the viewer, face-on. With her long, hooked beak foreshortened she looks quite sweet and friendly.Same subject, still close to the viewer but now in profile as she has turned to face the sun. Her long, viciously hooked beak is prominent, but she still has a look of wide-eyed innocence about her.

A little narwhal in the style of a medieval curio, mounted on a panel. Two ideas were overlapping in my mind: Narwhals’ tusks can distinguish changes in water temperature and chemistry; the horns of unicorns purify water and detect poison. 🦄 - #SciArtSeptember Day 9: Ivory
A photo of a small narwhal sculpture on a patterned board. The narwhal is made from white clay and coloured to resemble ivory. The piece rests on a wooden table next to a penny, for scale.
