leider bin ich noch krank aber zum Glück kann ich noch Meisterwerk machen

DE - Krötenwanderungschild mit Kerle-Frosch statt Kröte. Schild sagt "Kerlenwanderung"
EN - Triangular road warning sign, typically used to warn people when the toad migration is happening so they are mindful of toads crossing the road. Instead of the regular toad, there is the "Kerle-Frog," which is a German meme. The sign normally reads "Krötenwanderung", as in "toad migration," but instead reads "Kerlenwanderung," "Kerle" migration.

here are some free reaction images if you need to express your distaste for AI slop

a bunch of catfish lie dead or dying in a dried-up river bed, with one in the foreground giving a thumb's up and looking like they're suffocating. Around them is a blazing sun and the words "Drought-Approved AI Slop"

Indistinguishable mystery food items with question marks and pixels surrounded by the words "You wouldn't eat a prompt - AI menus suck!"

A robot with eyes that spell AI, a cheeky grin, and a butt farting out a flyer. Around it is the text "Don't be a fartist - hire an artist!"

the Bennett family of Green Creek in the style of Joe Cappa Haha, You Wolves

Three young men and their mother drawn in the flat style of Joe Cappa (Haha, You Clowns). One man is sitting at a desk facing the viewer. His mother stands behind his desk chair. On the left a young man in a grey hoodie has his arm around her and smirks at the viewer. On the right a young man stands politely, grinning at the viewer. The man sitting down has his hands clasped at his chin and looks at the viewer. All of them have blond hair and blue eyes, except for the man sitting down, whose eyes are red. Their mom did a heck of a job raising those boys.

Here is a comic on the use of AI in education that @makinaro.com and I made for Chemical Engineering Education. Maki's art is otherworldly in this one, and I'm very pleased to have gotten this published in the journal.

a Drawn to Engineering comic for Chemical Engineering Education

Worst-Case Scenario
written by Luke Landherr
drawn by Maki Naro

Panel 1
STUDENT working on a computer. Smoke in the background.

STUDENT: … actually, if I just enter in the right prompts, I can get this AI tool to solve all this work for me!

STUDENT: And that’s before I even get into any writing assignments…

STUDENT: The professor will probably want more accurate answers, after all.

Panel 2:

PROFESSOR working on a computer. Smoke rising from fire in a green hilled background.

PROFESSOR: So there’s all these problems to write and this student work to review, but…

PROFESSOR: … actually, I could just feed this AI tool the right prompts and have it do the curriculum design and evaluations for me!

PROFESSOR: The students will probably appreciate unique problems and faster feedback, after all.

STUDENT at left, PROFESSOR at right. Circular arrows reflecting that the computers are doing all the work between them with no human involvement, surrounding a data center with smokestacks.

Panel Two:

STUDENT and PROFESSOR shaking hands with environmental consumption being revealed.

TEXTBOX: This is the worstcase scenario for AI in education.

STUDENT: Thank you for a great semester.

PROFESSOR: Thank you for a great semester.

TEXTBOX: All the learning and teaching self-contained within the AI tools, with no real human involvement.

Panel Three

Different PROFESSOR and STUDENT talking together, a back and forth to help showcase the continued learning and teaching together. Brighter colors.

TEXTBOX: Let’s be clear, there are real possibilities for AI tools in both teaching and learning. AI tools can be great at helping develop codes for complex mathematical solutions, and can also allow for an all-hours tutoring tool for additional student support. And as an educational community, we need to consider what the best potential of these tools are, for all involved parties.

TEXTBOX: But it is a potential slippery slope in rationalizing what is acceptable from all involved. And that is before we consider the devastatingly huge environmental cost in using AI, a somewhat ironic factor when we work to increase instruction in sustainability at the same time.

TEXTBOX: So let’s work together in figuring out best approaches using AI. And let’s be careful to find the best limits at the same time.

im in poland rn and one channel has a sign language interpreter in the lower corner that uhh unfortunately also gets covered by ads sometimes real #accessible, folks

A large TV shows a channel in Poland. OP does not understand Polish so cannot translate the ticker tape, but the scene shows a woman working at a food service place and scooping food from a metal tray into a plastic container. In the lower left corner is a woman superimposed onto the image who is supposed to be giving sign language interpretations of what is happening. However, she is blocked by an advertisement for what appears to be tires that appeared in her exact position. Her hands are covered and only her face is visible.

Portland, OR TriMet map with the colored metro lines replaced with dragons. They are adorned with details specific to Portland, such as the yellow line dragon having antlers from an iconic sign and a trident tail, similar to the Portlandia trident. Several dragons have horns that resemble bicycle handlebars or local bridges.

My favorite illustrations from Dream Week in 2020. I still looove this sunset palette to death

A shadowy figure stands under a huge orange stone arch under a star-speckled night sky. Sitting on the stone arch is a neon outline of a scorpion, as if the Scorpio constellation descended from the night to watch the shadowy figure.

A huge red wolf pokes its head out from behind a tree. The wolf stares at the viewer with big stylistic purple and yellow eyes and has a wide, curved smile with sharp teeth. The wolf is adorned with filigree and plant patterns in purple, orange, and pink. The wolf stalks in a dark forest of purple trees.

Two humans float in space. One, dressed in a hoodie with the hood up, embraces the other, looking at them with gentleness and assuredness. The other, in a hoodie with the hood down, looks at their hands, which hold a small glowing flower. The two are surrounded by a ring of fire formed by two comets. An eye motif shedding a tear sits above them. The piece is colored in warm oranges, yellows, and purples.

A yellow dragon with its wings fully spread flies over the desert at night. Behind it, a rock formation juts out of the flat horizon. The clouds in the sky are purple and tinged with yellow light.

The Pokemon Articuno, a large ice bird, looks towards the viewers with glowing eyes and its wings spread. One wing is blue, one is pink, and the center of Articuno's body is purple, like the flag for Bisexual Pride. Articuno is set against a dark clouded background with a diamond ice crystal glowing above it and its tail, in Bi pride colors like the flag, billowing out with geometric crystal shapes around it.

If you see this, post a #dragon 🐉 2021 art of Tessék, one of my oldest and most favorite moody OC guys

A bipedal dark grey dragon with large orange wings stands menacingly with a glowing heart in his chest and orange and blue shapes framing him

A heraldic-like drawing of a dark purple dragon with orange wings in a running pose on all 4 feet. He is staring at the audience and hissing. His skin is full of stars.

A black bipedal dragon with large orange wings sits moodily, back facing the viewer, with his head turned towards the viewer. His visible green eye is shining, and colors are jumping from his presence against a light grey background.

A reference of Tessék the dragon, a bipedal dark grey dragon with large orange wings. He has two forms - a standard form, with longer limbs, bigger wings, and a sterner expression - and a tender form, a smaller, chubbier, more chibi form with stubby limbs, small wings, and big green eyes. His tender form holds a tulip magnolia branch in bloom

I haven't felt motivated to make and post digital art in a long time. But I've been looking back at my older work, and a lot of it I still enjoy quite a lot. I think I will be sharing more of my old art to hopefully find the spark to create again. The World | 2021

A yellow lion like creature stands in a heraldic pose in the middle of a blue background. The creature looks fierce and holds an arrow shrouded in lightning in its mouth. The image is framed by a purple frame with rounded corners showing symbols such as a bale of wheat, a bird, a flower, and spears. The blue background contains a small portion of the earth below with a sky full of clouds and stars above.

it's Kawneval season in Cologne

A crow dressed in a red and white scarf and hat shouts "Kaw Alaaf!" Which is probably how a crow would say "Kölle Alaaf"

A crow holds a jelly filled donut (Berliner) in their beak. They are beaming with joy.

A crow in a red and white costume shouts "Kawmelle!" Which is probably how a crow would say "kamelle", the call during a Cologne Karneval parade when you want them to throw candy at you. Candy is being thrown at them, like gummies, popcorn, peanuts, and these chocolate waffle wafers that are very hit or miss

A crow has their head stuck in a Kölsch glass (a 0.2 L glass that is narrow) with Kölsch (a local Cologne beer). They are looking up with Kölsch pooling at their neck and streaming down their chest. Text above them says "Noch mal ein Kawlsch, bitte" ("Another Kölsch please" but with a crow accent)

almost doing what 13-year-old me would have wanted

A comic panel with a young girl with messy hair and armwarmers. A label over her says "13-year-old me". Speech bubbles from her say "I LOVE MANGA!! I dream of writing my own manga and getting it published in Japan!!"

A comic panel with the same young girl to the left, now in shock, saying "ZOMG! It's me from the future!" On the right, in a cloud of smoke, a larger person has appeared with a POOF!, wearing glasses and with short messy hair. They are surprised, saying "Wh-"

The young girl is looking up dreamily with big sparkly eyes. She is surrounded by sparkles and saying "Oh future self, do we ever get published in Japan?"

The older self looks downwards, rubbing the back of their head. They say "Uhh...yeah, kind of." Above them is a text box, which is a screenshot of an email. The text inside says "I am pleased to tell you that your paper submitted in the Proceedings of WORLD PM2024 has been accepted for publication in the supplement of the Journal of the Japan Society of Powder and Powder Metallurgy."
