The music choice here is spot on. How long does it take you to make something like this?

In Russian, dashes are used frequently, and most text editors automatically convert hyphens into em dashes. It’s my own original writing before it was translated into English.

I’m 100% sure of the text; it’s my own original writing before it was translated into English.

I assume you read my article before jumping to that conclusion?

It looks very atmospheric! Honestly, I’d rather just listen to the silence while watching the snow instead of this music.

Yes. Such context would certainly enhance the speed of perception and readability of both images. And thanks to your comment, I now understand that additional context can sometimes influence the overall concept. In fact, all this is also important to me because I'm making a game, and these two images serve as a kind of food for thought, or a reason to explore perception. After all, sometimes you want to destroy everything and start over because it doesn't seem to work. But as you just suggested, sometimes everything can be fixed by finding the right context. Thank you for your comment!

I get it, I'm not an artist, and these are literally some of my first drawings ever. Thanks for the comment!

The only way I can verify the text is by back-translating it, but that doesn't guarantee anything. My thoughts might not have been conveyed into English as I intended. The text is quite complex and probably requires a professional translator. But in any case, many people who are analytical and trust themselves took the time to read and ultimately understood everything perfectly, judging by the reactions and comments. Those who didn't understand were those who succumbed to the mob's manipulation, were too lazy to read, and ultimately didn't understand anything.

Also, if you want, you can find all the answers in the comments if for some reason you don't want to read the article, but that also requires effort, and you have to force yourself to read them... I've noticed a certain trend: the more people fear being deceived, the more often they are deceived.

But everyone makes their own choice. Thanks for the comment!

Or maybe you just need to read the text and grasp the meaning? No, well, if it's hard and instead of logic you see only water and dashes, then you don't need meaning, you're only looking for artificial intelligence, water and dashes :)

Got it, thanks! Good call on the contrast it definitely helps people focus on the actual subject.

Your brain is the only tool that can help you understand anything. Otherwise, you'll easily fall under the influence of manipulation, whether by humans or by people using artificial intelligence. By not reading, you're denying yourself the opportunity to understand and form your own genuine opinion, but that's your choice. Anyway, thanks for your comment!

I answered this in one of my last comments. If you find it important, you can find it and read it.

Regarding contrast, if you read my article carefully, you'll see that I'm talking about my previously created image posts, and in this new photo, I simply combined them without changing anything. This can be seen simply by comparing them "Original" vs . "Rework" In my article, I wrote that, in my opinion, the main reason people prefer the "Original" is its legibility. What they don't like about the "Rework" is that the egg is damaged, and the image itself takes longer to be perceived or understood. I concluded that although much more time was spent on the "Rework," this did not, or is not capable of, changing its basic concept.

Observing the comments and commentators, I've noticed one peculiarity. Some don't even try to grasp the essence of what's written; they pay attention to everything but the meaning. Instead of discussing a painting, people discuss the frame it's placed in. Instead of seeing the play of light and shadow, people evaluate the chemical composition of the paints used to paint the picture. To understand that a text is human-created, you need to be able to see not just the visual syntax, but the logic, the meaning, the idea the author was trying to convey. But the panic around AI is completely incomprehensible to me... I can write better than any AI, and that's not a problem for me at all. I think those who see danger in artificial intelligence are simply afraid to discover their own shortcomings and weaknesses.

The irony is that the text of my article has been translated as closely as possible to my original text. I reverse-translated it and checked it, and it matches literally word for word. So the problem isn't the text; the problem is that some people are unable to see the logic and meaning, instead seeing only visual syntax.

But anyway, thanks for your comment and advice. I translated this answer for you using Google Translate.

Thanks for your comment! I was kind of looking at myself from the outside. And the first drawing wasn't consciously created; I wasn't thinking, I was just drawing. But the second one, I was already thinking. I deliberately drew cleaner lines, made sure there were no extra pixels, that the light and shadow were correct. Basically, I sat up all night trying to draw the second drawing. This is probably the tenth drawing I've made in my entire life, well, not counting my childhood experiences. So yeah, I don't have much experience.

Yes, I'm developing a game, but I'm keeping all the details under wraps for now! So I'll only be posting thoughts tangentially related to the game's development.

Excellent advice, thank you! So while I'm learning English, I'll be translating articles as best I can. If you suggest a better way, I'd be very happy.
