I've never used AI in any of my videos and projects and I never will- using Siri AI/Apple Intelligence was never for any actual purpose, just unfortunate curiosity on my own time.

Thank you~ there's never been any AI used in any of my videos, and none of this was meant to actually do anything creative- just personal use on my own time.

TLDR on the below threads so you don't panic:

I've used a few of Apple's new Al features a small handful of times over the past couple of years just out of personal curiosity, including the new Siri over this past summer. With Al getting super yucky now as well as how I feel about it now, especially genAl, I realized that might've not been cool to do. The large thread below starts with me asking for an honest opinion on that and sharing my thoughts and realizations over the span of a couple hours.

I'm not gonna use Siri for anything more than the basic assistant stuff it's always done, maybe unless I'm certain that can be done on-device without servers or Internet, and never for any brainstorming/creation of writing or images.

... I might consider doing that, but even now just describing a request feels bad. Certainly I will not use Siri for anything that involves creation or brainstorming of any kind. I am so very sorry for the stupidity. If you're still stuck around and/or are willing to, thank you. Love you all.

I haven't used either in over a year and certainly won't now. I'll only use Siri for the basic assistant stuff it's always been able to do. If I can be *certain* that an AI action can be done on device and only draw on non-stolen data, like looking for a particular photo or email (...)

Between the summers of 2024 and now, while Apple Intelligence was comparatively really bad, I might've used Writing Tools and Image Playground less than a dozen times total, and only to play around with them, not for any real purpose. Writing was okay... Image Playground was kind of literally slop.

For full transparency, I only used Visual Intelligence over the summer that handful of times, and up until now I've only asked Siri itself a few questions about basic stuff like its capabilities- I also tried making a shortcut by describing it, which ended up not working anyway. (...)

Just because I think the topic calls for it, nothing I make will ever be generated or assisted with AI, and if I ever use outside assets I will make every effort to ensure there's no AI in them.

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
With how easily I crack at AI, I should've at least been more hesitant to do this at the time. No more... I'll only use something with AI in it if I feel I need to study how it actually uses AI and how the AI itself works. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
That makes sense, it'd be common sense pretty much anywhere, it just becomes so much harder to realize that when the word "AI" immediately raises feelings of opposition (rightfully so)

Visual Intelligence has usage limits. Yucky.

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
... it'd make sense that any question involving world knowledge would likely need to use the internet, and servers by extension. Even if they're Apple's private servers, it's still servers, and servers aren't very cool

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
My thinking at the time of using Siri like this was that it was basically an enhanced version of how iOS could identify things in your photos when you're looking at the them in the Photos app. I would've also felt better if this could happen entirely on-device. But (...)

Yeah, the winged ant took a couple of tries for it to get right, although it was probably the photo quality being bad at first

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten that the new Siri is based on Gemini. Silly me. :')

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Still, I know that AI at all is a super volatile thing, especially chatbots, and myself being against creative AI, I feel just as yucky about it. I'm starting to realize that using AI with that in mind could be hypocritical, but I'm not sure. I might be overthinking it, which is why I ask.

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I also don't do this super frequently- it was more often in the summer (while I beta-tested it) and even then it was only maybe less then 10 times a month... which could still be seen as a lot and I totally get that, but I haven't really used it at all over the past month.

Void @voidmilkyway.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
I need to ask for an honest opinion, and please be blunt if it's warranted... is it bad to use the new Siri for looking up things around me with my camera? Like animals and plants that hang out in my area. I always look up the answers it gives me on my own, and *most* of the time it's right.
On the top right: a picture of a female mallard duck

Siri responds below it: "The female mallard is known for her mottled brown plumage, which provides effective camouflage while nesting on the ground. Unlike the silent males, female mallards produce the loud, classic "quack" associated with ducks."On the top right: a picture of a winged ant

Siri says below it: "Winged ants, also known as alates, are reproductive ants that leave their colony to mate and establish new nests. They can be distinguished from termites by their elbowed antennae, pinched waists, and front wings that are noticeably larger than their hind wings."On the top right: a picture of peace lilies, a type of indoor plant

Siri says below it: "Peace lilies are native to the tropical regions of the Americas and southeastern Asia. These plants are known for their ability to improve indoor air quality by removing common household toxins."

Please don't ever put yourself down like this again. I don't see anyone who's upset with you- you're doing the best you can to live the life that makes you happy and doesn't harm anyone else, and whoever wants to hold that against you isn't worth your time. You deserve nothing but happiness

Oh, I see- I must have missed that one, but as long as it wasn’t NSFW or beyond the PG-13 themes of Ashley’s Story, I wouldn’t have had an issue with it. But I completely understand the worry, as well as the feeling behind your sympathy, so it’s all good. Keep doing what you’ve been doing :))

I’d meant to tell you that I saw your post about Mors and Ashley, which you were concerned offended me- but it didn’t at all. It wasn’t graphic or unhinged/problematic in any way, and I actually really liked it. I’m very sorry for the slow reply, which most likely gave off a bad impression.

I need to start posting here more. I'm working on a new Ashley's Story video, and it shouldn't be too much longer of a wait if I just kick my butt into gear. Pt. 4 is in the early writing stages, and I need to get on that too. I don't want to rush, but I don't want to sleep on it either.
A pop-up window with the heading "Crash Report" on the top left, a "help" button on the top right, an icon of the baby face from Mario Paint to the left, and the following body text:

"Woah! Looks like MakerMatic crashed. You probably screwed something up big time. Lucky for you, you can just click "Recover" and WarioWare's genius tech will bring back your project for you! Or if you're still confused, click "?" on the top-right to read Crygor's blah-blah about it."

At the bottom of the pop-up are two buttons, one to the left labeled "Never Mind" and one on the right labeled "Recover."

The broken picture hit me hard... it really sums up the way I feel about Ashley. She's hurting beneath the surface. Amazing work as always :))

Hey, it's all ok. This is phenomenal. "Who just wants to be happy" immediately followed by "who wished to die so badly" has a pain to it that I can feel. I'm really honored you found this inspiration in the story and I thank you for sharing it :)))

A modded YT app like YouMod or YTKillerPlus might be of interest to you- I eventually succumbed to Premium but I used one before then. They don’t require jailbreaking, the way I did it was with AltStore which just requires a computer and a “refresh” every 7 days

This is amazing. It gives Bowser a rounder character, because his meaner and stubborn traits actually make sense with this new context, but he still has some desire to be better, because we know he cares for Jr. and his minions just as much.

What's funnier is that it might not even be impossible for them, because the marketing and presentation of their remakes lately have been removing any immediate signs that the games are in fact remakes. I know it's because they want a new generation to experience them, but it's still kind of scary

I really, really hate that I can tell the difference between regular and smooth corners on rounded rectangles. It’s so small, but once you see it, it makes UIs so much harder to look at. I don’t even want to show it, because I don’t want to infect anyone else with this virus I have

Because of a steady amount of arguments and issues caused by my own difficulties with moderation and authority, I've made the decision to close the link to my Discord server indefinitely. I'm not sure what the future holds, but I feel like it's the best thing to do for peace of mind. I'm so sorry.

I like it too- sometimes it can give you *more* space in illustration thanks to height. I just don’t like seeing it in media that clearly shows elements of the current day like modern tech, combined with modern-day composition and filmography like this ad from Instagram (it was a year ago but still)
