I feel like people who don't actually know programming need to stop commenting on AIs use in coding.
Not because theres nothing wrong with AI, but because when you keep repeatedly showing you dont actually understand coding, all arguments you try to make will instantly look bad.
I feel the whole "here is what you need to be a freelance artist" posts are kinda insane. Constantly maintaining online marketing and persona alongside art is 3 jobs. I feel like the other harsher truth is some people aren't just that good at art in the more technical sense.

One thing I never see in Dragon/great serpent discussion is the Asian Naga, despite it being incredibly influential. The forehead and chin shape, the beady eyes, the way the teeth protrude from the mouth with exposed gums. So many designs riff off this, maybe unknowingly.

She died 3,500 years ago, but a modern CT scan revealed something astonishing.
This is Lady Rai, an ancient Egyptian woman who served as nursemaid to Queen Ahmose-Nefertari around 1530 BC.
Her mummy was discovered in 1881, and centuries later, scientists found evidence of hardened arteries in her remains.
She became the oldest known mummy diagnosed with atherosclerosis, proving that this condition existed thousands of years before modern fast food.
Imagine seeing your face recreated 3,500 years after your death. 😮
In 1942 three Australian airmen force-landed in the Libyan desert after an engine failed.
For 11 days they walked roughly 140 miles with almost no supplies, rationing water drop by drop, eating a tortoise raw, and scavenging from wrecked vehicles.
Freezing nights, blistered feet, and mirages nearly finished them.
On day 11 a British patrol found them still on their compass course toward safety.
They had survived one of the harshest desert treks of the war.

imo its not "anti-ai psychosis" in the same way that ai psychosis is psychosis i think it's just that a lot of people who are rightfully angry about ai's prevalence aren't actually educated on what it is enough to focus that anger anywhere meaningful or productive

With 3d gradient texturing you dont need heavy texture maps to get rich details
By stretching the UVs across a tiny color gradient, geometry does all the heavy lifting
It works similarly to a trim sheet, but built entirely for mobile optimization

Not many people do both art and technical work, therefore the conversations happening now is extremely ass. Art too, can be very technical, if you aren't just painting, and technical work too, requires actual thinking rather than letting idiots, bio or Al, be at the helm.

And the 'here I found the solution in a separate, isolated environment' is the equivalent of 'strong lemonade kills cancer cells in petri dish'. It can be true, but does not necessarily translate to it working for the actual use.
