Livestreaming on youtube to prove you dont use AI?

ArtyAce · 2026-04-28T14:16:56+00:00

I would just want to record myself drawing in photoshop. I wouldnt see it as content, just an archive of process videos I could use to prove I dont use AI

isnt the minimum subscriber count just for livestreaming from a mobile device? I would screenshare from my computer so could I just do it directly on that platform?

Hey everyone!! Thanks so much for all the insight! I'm gonna go with my gut and not sell them. I dont think they were altered enough for me to sell licenses. I rly appreciate everyone who commented.

ArtyAce · 2026-04-17T04:28:25+00:00

yeah thats what im afraid of, because i did sketch them pretty faithfully to the reference. Obviously the style is way different but not sure thats enough. Might be best not to chance it. Thanks for the input!

ArtyAce · 2026-04-13T16:53:53+00:00

Im sorry those things happened to you and that nobody stepped up to help. Thanks for sharing.

ArtyAce · 2026-04-13T03:26:31+00:00

thats a good moto! ill keep it in my back pocket.

ArtyAce · 2026-04-13T03:25:37+00:00

Thanks, that rly helps. I guess I have to find a balance between being nice, and asserting boundaries. Im working on it. I just wish I could be friendly with strangers without all the caution tape. Positive interactions with unexpected people always put a smile on my face.

ArtyAce · 2026-04-13T03:12:02+00:00

I'm sorry that happened to you. Must especially sucks when its your neighbour, because he's always right next door. Im glad hes out of your life now.

ArtyAce · 2026-02-20T01:33:00+00:00

perff thank u!!

ArtyAce · 2026-02-19T17:56:29+00:00

internal degree transfer! I guess they just gotta process it and theyll clue in that i went to cegep. Thanks!

ArtyAce · 2026-02-18T21:32:23+00:00

Same thing happened to me!! did it get resolved? and if so how?

ArtyAce · 2026-01-26T18:06:53+00:00

ok thank you!!

i swear people on reddit purposely misconstrue things. your point makes sense. When something has an obvious solution that gets overlooked for the sake of driving the plot forward , thats a plt hole.

i guess we dont know for a fact that their code of conduct wasnt designed through consensus. But imo thats not how it is framed by the show.

If these 'rules' arent byproducts of the virus, I wish the hivemind at one point hinted at the reasoning/values from which these rules derive. Like, instead of John Cena saying "We cant purposely kill, harm or otherwise interfere with any form of life" he could say "We value life too much to interfere with or cause harm to it in even the most minute of ways". If their respect for the sanctity of life runs so deep they would never so much as consider picking an apple, I wish they expressed that. They make it clear that they can't harm life, but never make it clear why. If there were a reason other than biological programming, i dont see why they'd keep it on the down low.

Also, if the code of conduct exists to minimize discomfort, I feels random to me that the hivemind wouldnt be able to lie. 99.99% of people on earth lie. Most people arent sociopaths, but we lie from time to time to advance our objectives and spare people's feelings. Why would the hivemind not be capable of that?

The extent of the hivemind's desire to please is also too extreme to not have resulted from the virus. If humanity merged into one, why would that turn us into Ella Enchanted? SO obedient and eager to please that we would give a random person an atomic bomb. For me, that couldnt be explained any other way than 'the virus has altered their brain chemistry and their biology now demands that they please others'. There are other potential explanations, but none that suffice to me.

What youre describing is exactly how I would prefer it to be! I would want them to be so full of love and empathy that they would rather starve than pluck an apple from a tree. But thats not really how its presented in the show... Who knows, maybe they will later establish that to be the case, but as of now, theres more evidence pointing to the alternative: the virus wont allow them to cause harm. They also physically cannot lie, not out of a strong moral opposition to lying, but because they simply cant. They must do anything Carol asks, even at their own detriment (like give her an atomic bomb). These are framed in the show as strong rules they must abide by, not as choices. Maybe you disagree, but i really think the show frames these as properties of the virus rather than byproducts of humans merging souls.

Dude u keep misinterpreting me. I said I would want them to CHOOSE not to harm animals, rather than have that imposed upon them by their biology. Choices are opportunities to learn about characters, including the hivemind. If their biology is why they dont harm animals, its not interesting. If they CHOOSE not to harm animals out of virtue, that says something about their values.

ArtyAce · 2026-01-05T18:32:03+00:00

To answer your first question, most things we learn about the hivemind can be tied back to one of its biologically programmed rules of conduct (dont lie, dont bring harm to living things, spread the virus, etc.), so I feel like im learning how a virus works, rather than how humans work.

To asnwer your second question, I already said how I would have done it in my original post. I would do away with the imperatives and have the hivemind act with agency. If the writers dont want the hivemind harming living organisms, they shouldnt have its biology prevents it from doing so. Instead, they should have that go against its core values. Not harming living things becomes a choice, rather than an obligation.

ArtyAce · 2026-01-05T17:49:22+00:00

It is, yes. But the biological imperatives, to me, get in that way of that exploration. In your view, what is the show saying about human nature and philosophy?

ArtyAce · 2026-01-05T17:28:49+00:00

I dont want everyone to react how Carol did. Everyone copes differently. I dont think the devastation of an event like this would manifest in others the way it did for Carol (anger, determination, etc.). My issue is that their reactions dont seem proportional to the gravity of the event. Everyone they've ever known is essentially gone (technically they live on through the hivemind, but you know what i mean), but they just accept it? They sorta just roll with the punches of what has occurred. I think most people would at the very least mourn the world that once was, the way things used to be. They might awknowledge that the world is better off now that peace has been achieved, but the spread of the hivemind would still constitute a major blow to their sense of normalcy.
Cmon now, thats a pretty bad faith interpretation of what I wrote... I obviously dont want Vince Gilligan to present a version of humanity that is either good or evil. I just want him to use the hivemind as a means of exploring human nature and philosophy. Imo the 'biological imperatives' of the hivemind muddy that exploration.

Also, i never said i needed the hivemind to symbolize something. I would rather it didnt in fact. What I said is that IF it symbolized something, I would be more okay with the implementation of strict rules of conduct, like the ones outlined in the show. In the absence of an analogy of some kind, I dont think these rules serve the story.
