everyone is still stopping by and liking things, but maybe they don’t have anything to say.
yeah I usually upvote at least 1 post when I see them, I just don’t have anything to say usually.
AI stuff I’ve played with. That seems to get people angry.
kek yeah lemmy is pretty AI-hostile. I noticed that on !cyberpunk@lemmy.zip, even tho it explicitly allows AI art they disparaged someone for posting a fanfic that had AI art in it.
It’s often fun when people ask “simple” things too. Like last night someone asked if the owls that live in cacti live there for the spiney protection, and while that was my thought, I decided to finally verify it by reading about the particular woodpecker species that make the holes originally. I was surprised to see nothing mentioned the protection as a physical hazard provided by it being thorny, but as prevention from the climate of the desert. The cactus insulates from the heat of the day and the cold of the night, basically a cave in plant form.
They also excavate the hole in advance of when they will need it to nest. I never thought about that either, but as the cactus is soggy inside, that wouldn’t make the best nest, so they bore out their hole and give it plenty of time for the plant to dry out / repair the damage and it kind of crusts over to make a nice interior for the birds that is solid and dry.
You guys basically make me think about things I may otherwise not think about. Plus you all come at me with so many memes and cultural references that I don’t know about, so I learn a lot from interacting with everybody. I think I work a bit different than a lot of posters though. I don’t feel I see as many other people that get as conversational with their audience or that really want their posts to expand. I love when we go off topic or explorer things, and I don’t know if that’s the same everywhere.
I’ve done some AI spoofs of stuff with owls instead of people, and even tried out some calling out of AI images being passed off as real and talking about how to ID them a bit, and people just plain do not want to see AI images here. Even as educational/warning things. I come across a lot of it, and it’s getting fairly convincing. It was nice to see Last Week Tonight cover it this week in context to watering down legit info and crowding out factual things, especially on social media platforms. I’m glad people like my crappy doodles and shops. It’s usually fairly ugly, but it’s quicker than getting an AI pic I like, and at least you’ll know I did it myself. 😄
Thankfully I can still find a lot of images I want to demonstrate things between regular images, textbooks, research papers, and such since people love raptors. Memey stuff being jokes anyway may even be “enhanced” by my poor quality work.

Yeah, I think there’s the same feeling in the meme community. It’s better to see something a lot “rougher” that an actual person made, than something that looks more polished, that an AI made.
