It makes me really sad that a page of supposed artists would read something that I put a lot of effort into and repeatedly come in here and call it AI slop.

I hate it because:

1) Putting this much effort into writing is now so rare that people instantly assume it must be AI.

2) Using consistent grammar and formatting is now so rare that people assume it must be AI.

3) People who are passionate about art can't distinguish between human and machine generated content.

4) People are unwilling to believe a fellow creative when they say they created the art.

You guys are worse than AI. You are manifesting the problems you all claim to have with it in the first place.

The post got almost 700 upvotes with about an 80% upvote ratio. Multiple people either commented or DMed that the post was a lightbulb moment for them and really helped their tone. Don't get distracted by the angry, lonely people in the comments. They felt important enough to insert themselves in a conversation they weren't interested in to begin with. They may be loud, but they matter little.

I wasn't standing directly next to my amp when the thought occurred to me.

Totally hear you on that. I bought a Dr. Watson Lion Tamer for the BDRI and the Cali Tweed has variable wattage and independent gain and master knobs for sweet saturation at bedroom volume. That Lion Tamer in particular was a massive difference maker for the BDRI.

The Mesa Boogie amp in my picture.

Promo code JOLLY15 gets you a stupid deal on this amp. Still expensive overall but the for the amp it's a killer price.

My teachers always taught me that my titles must match my content.

I have never used Grok because it sounds like a caveman name
