Regarding #Tapas shuttering: sometimes it's desirable to be part of a creative company because 'being used' looks the same as 'being needed'. They are not the same.

had to be done #fieldsofmistria #art #comic #oc

A panel of March from Fields of Mistria and OP's farmer OC, Monroe. March has his arms crossed and eyes closed, and Monroe is reaching for his head.
Off camera, Juniper: "WHAT are you doing"

A similar panel, but March is yelling with sparkles around his head, and Monroe has his eyes closed in a matter-of-fact expression.
Monroe: "He needs this"
March: "I NEED THIS"

henrietta vs the farmers ex 🐔 #art ✧ #comic ✧ #fieldsofmistria

A digitally drawn comic of a conversation between OP's character, Monroe, and Henrietta the chicken from Fields of Mistria.

Panel 1:
Henrietta sitting between Monroe's legs, looking up at him (off screen).
Monroe: "sorry. some days are harder than others. thank you for always listening, 'etta."
Henrietta: "..."

Panel 2:
A slightly zoomed in shot of Henrietta.
Monroe: "hey uhhh it's okay to tell this kind of stuff to a chicken right"
Henrietta (in a thought bubble): "tell me, frail human, does this man like being able to feel things with his fingers?"

Panel 3:
A fully zoomed in shot of Henrietta's face, underlit ominously with a dark background.
Henrietta (in a thought bubble): "does he enjoy having ears to hear praise with? unpecked eyes to see the world with?"

Panel 4:
Monroe and Henrietta walking side by side.
Monroe: "thanks for not telling hayden about this btw. i'm not ready for that conversation yet. you're a good chicken."
Henrietta (in a thought bubble): yes i am. now give me the pitiful man's coordinates, that i may commit a murder most fowl."

presented without context #fieldsofmistria ✧ #art

A single digitally drawn comic panel of Hayden from Fields of Mistria holding Henrietta, who's patting his shoulder with one wing. Both have a unamused expression. Henrietta: "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy, Hayden" Hayden: "damn". Below the panel is the artist's handles, "MK/RET" and "@retquits".

Haaaaagh, crunchyroll is apparently using ai-generated closed captions on some older stuff from the dub audio. The pacing is all off, it has mondegreen errors, and sometimes it doesn't even clarify the less clear lines. What a disrespect to human effort. Three names? Really?!

olruggio: okay first of all if I shaved you'd think I was 17

This graphic ends up with a pretty bad rounding error, magnifying the smallest from 60 to 6. Made this graphic in a rush: each line is one person. It shows the proportion of 6 vs 4.5k more accurately and intuitively. It's closer to 'how many people misclick/did not understand the question' levels.

a sloppy, sketchy collection of tally marks that color-code responses to a survey about how important human-made text is to respondents. Out of 4,449 responses reported here, six responses say it was not important, 109 said it was somewhat important, and the rest, at 97.4%, said it was very important.

I find visualizing tallies and groups of tens, hundreds and thousands helps keep a little more context for proportions in surveys. Seriously, if there were *one* single less person who said not important, you could count them on one hand. It is the barest minimum possible needed to count on two hands, and if I said 'you could count it on two hands' you might think I meant 10, and that's almost double the number of people who said that it wasn't important that writing is authored by a human.

And as I colored in this graphic, I got to think about how people could arrive at the conclusions they did- I can see how you could try to argue 'if you're just copypasting something that doesn't matter, maybe it's fine if a bot copypastes it. Or how many people in a group of 4.5k would misread the qusestion, or misclick.

I'm assuming this survey comes from ellipsus users, which already selects for people who do the act of writing, find value in it, and likely find value in reading writing by other people. This is also a survey made of responses, not every person asked responded, and a larger survey doesn't necessarily mean more accurate results, let alone rsults that are honest, persuasive, or worth making decisions on actions over. But, again, I want to point out that by being a little more granular with the data presentation, showing such small numbers and their proportion to larger ones, you get a more accurate intuitive sense of the data in a way an AI can never perceive.

If you don’t know what writers actually feel about AI, you haven’t been paying attention to us. (Lucky you, we have a survey and a blog post about it: ellipsus.com/blog/survey-...) TL;DR: The writing world is not in the grips of "AI fever." @nymag.com - want to know more? We’re available.

How important is it to you that a piece of writing is authored by a human?

97.4% - Very important
2.5% - Somewhat important
0.1% - Not important
