the world gets a lot easier when you learn to be wrong without getting pissed or doubling down. saying, ‘you’re right, that makes sense, I was misinformed, thanks for telling me’ instead of going to war over something your ego’s latched onto will save you time, energy, and the embarrassment of sounding like a whiny little bitch
actually that’s precisely how i grew up and how i formed an outsized ego attachment to being correct and how i became a self righteous little asshole for most of my teen and adult life before learning the lesson presented in figure 1
I hate how bot comments on ao3 are making more and more writers disable their comments and lock their works so that only people with registered accounts can access their works (because while some of these bots are from registered accounts and therefore locking your fics won’t guarantee that you will be safe from them, a lot of them are commenting as guest users so locking fics helps a little), because there are so many genuine readers who read and comment on fics without having their own registered accounts.
these bots are not only annoying and harmful (if you fell for their lies and gave them money, an access to your personal informations), they’re also keeping artists and art from genuine audiences and destroying the community artists built with their audiences.
this is a post to say fuck you every bot out there.
also here’s how to spot and deal with bot comments

I'm in a foul mood so I want to post this.
I hate how people pretend to do art while using AI. Here's a post on X that they found an easy way to check if an image is AI or not.
So basically there will be random pixel noise on the image when you change the image to high saturation.
Here's the example :
Can you see the differences?
It works better in white image. You see the random blocks of pixels?
Mine art, no random pixel:
There's some concern "What about glazed art?"
There are noises on white-ish area, but mostly it's clean and not random pixel
It's so fucking disappointing that they hide the fact that they use AI. And it's also painful to see they get lots of likes.
So, if you see an art so good to be true, the 'artist' has not many previous works, new account, no trace of wip, whatever, high chance they're AI. And when you use this trick and you see lots of random boxes of pixels, it probably AI.
didn’t jesus do something similar to that
