My opinion on AI Gen
So lately I've been seeing a lot of AI generated art. And now I'm seeing what amounts to a full on protest against it. Feel like I should provide my views on this. IMO AI Generation is the "new shiny". A tool that is available. While it does open up art to a wider range of people, it has its flaws. For example I've seen QUITE A FEW pieces with "cursed hands". Seems the AI can't figure out how a hand is supposed to look most of the time and, in the famous words of Jonesy in Hunt for Red October, "runs home to mama." Personally I'm neutral about the whole thing. Its a tool, like CG art capability. In the right hands I'm sure AI can provide a good start for an Artist to work with. And in the case of an Artist with less resources available it could be of use. However it has its limitations. So far all I've seen are portraits. Not really scenes, let alone ACTION scenes. And I don't know the level of customization that can be included, such as if you were to generate a Star Trek ship but
Here we go AGAIN
Had to block ANOTHER person who decided I need to be forcably educated, this time over my own art not conforming to THEIR preferences and DEMANDING I change something that I submitted 4 years ago. Oh and they went full "FIGHT ME" and tried to get me to play World of Tanks Blitz so they can kick my ass. And then posted on my profile (Already spam reported) demanding I change EVERYTHING to suit THEIR preference, being World of Tanks Blitz and Call of Duty. No interest, nor desire to play that game. And frankly... if you don't like my stuff, don't demand I change it. It is highly inappropriate, and the whole thing came across as childish. What is it about this year that is making me actually populate my block list?
New look... kinda meh.
So they switched over to the new Eclipse setup on a permanent basis... I'm neutral on it. I can see some pros and cons. Not gonna go rage mode though. No point. Seen enough of that on the STO forums when something happens people hate. I survived the flame wars of Delta Rising... I'm more of the kind of person who would rather give constructive feedback over rageposting and demanding because "I don't like change". Also you get better responses with actual constructive feedback than you do with pitchforks and torches. With luck cooler heads will prevail and provide actual usable feedback that the powers that be can use. So... I adopt my usual "wait and see" approach.
Happy First Contact Day! and a minor rant
For Trek Fans, April 5th is known as First Contact Day, as in Star Trek Lore April 5th, 2063 is the day First Contact with the Vulcans happened.
It is also the day that, at least behind the scenes, the crew of the Enterprise-E made sure history would proceed as it was meant to despite the efforts of the Borg.
Now... normally I don't want to start these kinds of conversations, but I just want everyone to know that I'm one of those people who actually gives things a chance. Not only that, I don't try and judge the nitpicky hell out of something based on what the time period is. I judge it on its own merits. For example, Discovery I judge to be
