i left the no-ai webring
estimated reading time: 2 - 3 min
as of 2025-02-02 this is partially outdated as I've removed the ai art from all pages that aren't blogposts talking about the ai. i still feel so-so about ai and think its not always bad, but i also don't want anything "artificial" to be the focus of my website.
i requested to be removed from that webring, the no-ai webring. it’s only fair. since i no longer fit in there.
yesterday, after a slight website redesign (it should be more cute and more pink now :3 if it isn't — clear cache) i spent around 3 or so fucking hours, losing literal sleep, trying to find a perfect avatar to represent my website and my persona on it, but without any luck. nothing would fit with what i had in mind exactly. and as someone too broke to pay someone to get a custom one, i took drastic measure: i decided to simply fucking generate it! hell yeah you read that bloody right! what a shocker, right!
and sure AI art might be unethical but i’ve never promised you ethics to begin with. you can go ahead and call me out on my fucking hypocrisy, as i have posts hating on AI. but then again this is MY website. maybe this will anger some of your, but then again i don’t give a shit. i do things my way and don’t cater to anyone. aesthetics over everything!
i think what the machine spat out for me is pretty cute tho ^_^
yes i called it cute! such an unpopular opinion, i know, i know. but it is what it is i guess. maybe not all AI is that bad after all. idk despite everything i’m still conflicted. do i hate it, do i not? honestly, i don’t know... i really do not.
whats next?
at least partial AI re-acceptance. yeah, sorry to fucking disappoint probably the majority of my visitors. however after reading a post over at faded-morning, i kinda agree with her. not even kinda, i fully agree.
“Well thank god I'm not in that "no AI" webring, because I truly think this is a great song, even though it was made by AI.”
and you know what? she’s completely right. it does sound very damn good. and hell, did we really forgot that i own another website. that has had used fucking AI-generated jingle for literal months. even before my first anti-AI post.
i can promise you one thing though: all posts are and will always be, written by me. however AI generated images and/or other slop may make occasional appearance. i’m sorry to those who i disappoint (i’m really fucking not)
