nameless wood [art]



a very different style from my usual... i wanted to try something sketchy and textured, something that evokes the feeling of someone very young and inexperienced trying out art for the first time, and my deer felt like a good match for the subject.

a (polite!) discussion about genAI and its use on TEFc and other creative spaces.

let me preface this for transparency's sake: i am very much against the use of generative AI in creative spaces. largely because of the environmental impact of data centers, but also because i'm not interested in reading or looking at anything that wasn't actually created by a real person. however, this is not a space to air your grievances about genAI or to talk about why it's bad. no matter how much i might agree with you, i don't want to shame people or make them feel bad here. not just because it's unkind but because shame isn't actually a good motivator for changing behaviour - it's a deterrent. making people ashamed just makes them hide what they're doing, not stop doing it. does that make sense?

image heavy. written in all-lowercase for stylistic purposes, and uh, good luck differentiating between "it" (the deer) and "it" (literally anything else).
