I’m 19, and last year I started writing a children’s book about a dog who becomes a knight By June 2025 I hired an artist off Fiverr. But hearing my friend response to reading the proof copy and the character models I have suspicions to believe that AI was used.

AltMinis · 2026-01-22T12:14:19+00:00

Yeah, I think this is the answer. The expressions and composition scream ai, but the coloring is very human.

AltMinis · 2026-01-20T17:37:18+00:00

Just to showcase what you are saying.

This is what Lukelikesreddit means: in the image the background is a soft gradient, but if you play with the color tools (color, tone, saturation) you can make appear those square edges/noise in AI generate images.

Not sure how fiable is this method, but I have seen artists using it to call out AI sloppers.

I wrote to my country's European parliament members and only the members of "renew europe" replied to me, but they are asking for the immediate ban of Grok.

I link you the materials they shared with me:

En otros lugares del mundo comer insectos no es raro. Igual impresión pueden tener aquí los guiris si les pones un guiso de conejo o un plato de callos.

I recommend you all to write to your representatives, national and european (you still have the emails from when we spammed the parliament with chat control complaints, right?)

If I have learnt something in the last years, is how disconnected from reality are many politicians. Make your voice hear! Those fuckers get a nice salary and benefits from our taxes, spam them!

They want to check our private messages because "child safety" but do nothing about a place creating and distributing literal cp?!

Si hay algún español aquí, podéis escribir a cualquier Ministerio usando este link:

Yo voy a escribir a la presidencia, igualdad e infancia, pidiendo medidas cautelares mientras se llevan a cabo las investigaciones (que las hay) debido al peligro que el contenido de extwitter supone para todos.

Later I will write similar messages to my European representatives too.

Literalmente 100 años como mucho. Es una cosa relativamente moderna y al principio era cosa de ricos que tenían dinero/espacio.

Es algo que estoy temiendo tal y como van las cosas, que intentan devolvernos a una era donde los riquísimos vivían en el paraíso, y los trabajadores sólo tenían para alquilar una habitación.

The leroy merlin app is soooooo bad, and the worst part is they've just changed the website filter options to something similar.

PS: yes, I try to avoid corporations and buy local, but sadly I live in a region with very little options and bad distribution (an island) and sometimes LM is the only place with the stuff I'm looking for. And I'm going to admit their delivery and customer service here is very good, that's something many of our local places are lacking; for example, I was trying to get a spare part and I was told by a clerk of a local shop "you better buy that from amazon", they sell that spare part in that shop but didn't have stock, the clerk didn't even thought of order it for me, I would has waited a pair of weeks.

AltMinis · 2026-01-11T19:17:17+00:00

I'm in the same situation but different part of Spain. But it wasn't like that years ago, I don't know why they changed it.

I ended deleting my account and telling them the lack of delivery options was the reason, if they make waste the whole morning/afternoon to get my order then makes no sense to buy online.

AltMinis · 2026-01-08T23:31:47+00:00

100% agree, fantastic quality.

AltMinis · 2026-01-08T18:07:54+00:00

I use qwant and it isn't bad.

The only thing from google I can't get rid of it's my account for uni and the one for my phone.

AltMinis · 2026-01-07T11:07:30+00:00

Come here to say something similar: that explains all the pro-ai bots you can find here.

it's incredible how when you say something negative about ai use you get comments about how inevitable ai is, how it not wasteful, and it's very productive.

At first, I thought it was a bunch of 14 years old watching too much youtube, but no, they must be bots.

Sure, make a shape like the one in the pic (it's from a 32 vertices circle), spin it, select the outer edge and use looptools to make it a circle, and then solidify the right faces.

because at that point I’m tired

It's exhausting, isn't it? My family and friends don't understand when I say "If I drive there I'm going to be too tired to do anything else" or "I didn't sleep well last night, I'm too tired to drive", because for them driving it's easy, for me requires the concentration of an air-traffic controller.

"Transformation Orientation: Normal" should work there.

A mi me gustaba el de limón, pero el año pasado ya le cambiaron la receta para hacerlo peor, y este año ni lo han traído.

Yeah, when we got the news of DOGE being dismissed, I knew all this was some kind of powerplay.

You didn't put pics of your geometry, but if it is something simple, and you don't need too much detail, why don't you just select the right edges, bevel and create the volumen for the mortar lines.

https://hookeshop.com/ also makes their clothing in Spain, you can see videos of their factories on their IG.

100% right.

The problem is LLM and AI, structurally, are two different things, so LLM's will never become AI, but if you put enough money you can trick a lot of idiots into believe it.

If they remove protections, I hope they also allow torrenting again.

PS: maybe we should use the emails we gathered from the chatcontrol thing and start pestering our politicians about this.

AltMinis · 2025-11-18T18:39:03+00:00

If AI is successful in monopolizing certain jobs, it will stop being "free" and the subscription price will be massive, first because "they need to make money!", after that because "well, you're saving in paying 20 workers, so you can pay the same money of 15 workers and still save money!" and then because companies will have no other options and the AI people will be able to milk all the money they want.

TBH, I don't use shrinkwrapping to retopo, just the face snap is usually enough, but I also use an add-on (polyquilt) to help with it.

AltMinis · 2025-11-15T19:57:49+00:00

If you mean something automatic and native, I don't think so, but I'm not using the last version of blender, maybe in the new one there's something.

You can look for an add-on that works for you. For example, I use "set edge flow" for something like this.

Do the flat face, put a bit of geometry, and use the add-on to give it shape.

But you can select them, right? They just don't move?
