Just another day with debilitating ADHD…
Absolutely incredible.
That’s beautiful work, dude/dudette. I’d be pleased to have that as my notebook cover; you’ve some real skill, there.
hah, thanks, tho it’s kind of the opposite of work. I had about 3.5hrs of zoom calls that particular day, and if my hands aren’t doing something there’s absolutely zero chance of me staying tuned in.
Huh as someone with ADHD I need to try that.
I never knew this was a thing until my 30’s, I just had little boxes covering the margins of all my notebooks.
For a moment there I honestly thought that was the cover of the pad. Whenever I end up doodling like this, it mainly ends up being a page full of detailed penises. Make of that what you will.
The heart draws what the heart wants
Since middle school or so I’ve always started notes/real work from the front of the notebook, and pure doodles from the back (though plenty make it to the front pages as well). Decades later I wonder how many kilos of graphite or liters of ink I’ve used (spoiler: probably not even one of each).
I love it
AI: Here! Scrape this one too. We’ll make a soulless copy.
You don’t have a soul you’re a neural net in a flesh bag that regurgitates what others say and do.
I drew this in roughly twenty minutes with a peice of scrap paper and a broken pen held together by a hair tie, I think it counts (im not very good at doodling)
im not very good at doodling
What you posted shows the opposite.
Thanccs :3
A few days ago I saw a comment say something like “what if I poured my heart and soul into the prompt to get the AI to generate exactly what I imagined in my head?”
To that I say: “None of that emotion will be translated by the AI. It would be more artistic for you to try your best and still make something that doesn’t at all resemble what you imagined, because at least you actually put yourself into it, making it actually art and not just what amounts to a corporate logo.”
I think this question sidesteps something even more fundamental. Pouring your heart and soul into describing a world through words is creative writing, and obviously has artistic merit in and of itself. Why is creative writing such an apparently unworthy art form, that all of that effort would be better off tossed into the trash, and replaced by a machine generation based upon it instead?
If you genuinely have the desire and capacity to write in depth about worlds, and things that happen within them, simply posting that writing would be wonderful. Visual mediums are not the end all be all of artistic expression, or human communication in general. I write comments and express my ideas through words all the time, and I appreciate when humans do the same for me in return.
Because in this case, they’re writing a prompt. Prompts for AI aren’t exactly creative writing. They’re basically a series of keywords or tags. Figuring out which keywords work to get the thing to generate what you want isn’t really creative, either.
Yeah that’s totally fair. I was trying to steelman the position of the prompting being a labor of love through intensive writing, because I felt that granting this falls flat, and seemingly treats writing as unworthy compared to a purely generated visual interpretation. I entirely grant that in reality, a prompt is about as creative as placing an order in a restaurant.
Here you fucking go
does this count?
Yep!
Why do the pencils look fake?
They are actually fineliner pens.
I haven’t used this specific brand so can’t say how good these are. But there are plenty of brands that make similar products they are available in assorted colors and tip sizes.
I have the purple Stabilo point 88 in fine (middle one in picture) on my desk. Had it for a few years, hasn’t dried up or gotten empty yet. I like how the pen writes, but in general, I am not a big fan of felt tipped pens.
Definitely a solid writing tool though.
When you put too much pressure on them the tip just splits. Happened to me plenty of times when I was in elementary school. I’d rather have a regular ballpoint pen tip.

That’s easy to say when you can doodle that well, fuck I ain’t even gonna try much less compete.
OP didn’t come out the pussy drawing Mozart.
Dunno… doodles are too clean. Napkin is suspiciously clean as well = no coffee stains, no wrinkles, no bad poetry. Looks like AI to me, or at least Photoshop.
Please don’t be this cooked… Not everything is AI…
If you zoom in you can see the feathering. I would sincerely doubt this was photoshopped.
Nah, look at how the ink blots up in random spots because it’s on a napkin. Not only is AI not doing that, if it’s photoshop, that is real talent
I can’t take full credit for this collaboration
The “than” is not in the middle and I want to burn houses because of it.
Arranging text (especially calligraphy) by hand is so difficult (for me). Best I’ve come up with is writing it on separate sheet of paper then measuring it and laying it out, then hope you practiced enough that you do it the same on your work piece.

Not bad for two minutes of work
Dang, I really dig how it neither looks like a real napkin nor a real drawing. The table behind it looks good though.
Do you take constructive criticism?
Removed by mod
The criticism isn’t so much for AI itself, but for the mediocrity it enables.
Remember in elementary school when you were learning basic addition and subtraction? And that your teacher wouldn’t let you use a calculator even though it was capable of getting the job done (and without hallucinating bullshit numbers!)?
You teacher wasn’t ‘anti calculator’, they just recognized that tool as being harmful to their goal of training you to actually think.
AI is a tool. There are some things hammers do a really good job of, but in today’s world they’re used in everything. Want to apply paint to your car? Hammer. Do the dishes? Hammer. Brush your teeth? Hammer. It’s stupid, and not at all helpful. So now we’ve got a counter-culture growing of “fuck hammers!” in response to that stupid, but hammers aren’t really the problem… the problem is the stupid. Fuck hammers.

Speaking of hammers…
Yeah I’m not going to converse with willful ignorance or arguing in bad faith. Go bother some other website.
If you take away artists, everyone pack up, because humanity is lost.

Then why did AI suck it all up and use their work?
Removed by mod
image generators are not llms.
Removed by mod
CLIP isn’t an llm either. point being, the pattern recognition argument doesn’t hold. they’re feature detectors, which is basically a giant grid of classifiers. that’s not what llms do.

So you’re saying that AI is built on bad art? Interesting take

So you only think people should make food that you like or it’s bad food. Got it.
Removed by mod
you seem like a failed artist to have that much salt…
so let me try again.
what i think of the art is irrelevant, im explaining how it produces results.
if most art was good, there would be a lot more museums.
i think most people would agree good art is exceptional - which means its above average. which means that the majority of art is mediocre at best.
again, my opinion of any particular art does not matter in this explanation so please hold back on the LDE in your reply.
I got the best laugh out of this. Thank you, you made my day. Especially, this part:
if most art was good, there would be a lot more museums.
Edit: I can’t decide if I want to upvote you or downvote you, I think you actually believe what you’re saying.
