Neat! Is this like a plugin that can emulate the circuit or something like that? Or are you just doing it by hand?

I've had my criticisms of FA management and the like over the years, but there's no getting around the fact FA is one of the last places left that truly serves furry art and the community as a whole. No algorithms, no AI, no data stealing. From here on out I'm a FA+ subscriber.

One of the things that's awesome about getting commissioned art is knowing you have something that an awesome creative person put a lot of love and effort into, knowing they could take your idea and create something wonderful from it that you can't do yourself. AI "art" accomplished none of that.

Think of it as a self organizing entity. No one of us is planning it out, yet you throw us all together and somehow it all works out perfectly!

i'm on team "legs shrinking". I know TF is supposed to be fun make believe stuff but at least it feels a little more physically plausible and kind of satisfies my inner geek xD

A handy flowchart to answer the question of whether your particular use case of utilizing generative AI is morally acceptable.

Ugh. I saw another version of it pop up somewhere else and it was AI slop there as well. So disappointing. I love the idea of the coyote mascot, but the execution just sucks.

My first thought when I saw that render was "I wonder if I could ever have the patience to learn to do that in Blender." My second thought was "I wonder if I could ever throw money at them to do something like this someday" xD

It's a struggle and I have a bad feeling it's going to get worse before it gets better - but as long as there are people who refuse to give in and accept that it's just inevitable, it's not inevitable. Hang in there!

Someone whose art I've always enjoyed and someone who I've always had positive personal interactions with, and someone I wish I had gotten to know better if I weren't such an introvert.

Just learned that Sam Neill passed. Was in a couple of the more important movies from my youth, doesn't help that his character in JP shares my meatspace name. Don't usually give much thought to the passing of celebrities but this one makes me sad!

But you're just using it to make your life easier? Cut out the fat so you can focus on what matters? It's creating a dependency is what it's doing. Each time you use it as a shortcut it's your own skills being degraded to the point you can't do it without them anymore, and you're hooked.

Don't use AI guys. No, not even for that. Doesn't matter how innocent your case feels. They want you to think it's harmless. It isn't. It's still built on a foundation of environmental exploitation, neighborhood-destroying datacenters and new caste of billionaire sociopaths. Just don't do it.
