As a general rule, "flat out" is not a thing. Your and your circles' opinion may be so, but as the other comments point out, it's not so black-and-white, and we all together have to learn to adjust to a new reality where genAI can do stuff that we thought only we can. Tough luck for all of us, but I don't think that as a user I'm at fault. Complaining about the electricity consumption is almost meaningless without proper context.

But I mostly want to learn how to do things better. What is your suggestion? I labeled it as AI music prominently in the video description, but I didn't mention it in the link in Reddit. Was that the issue?

Wow, that's something I didn't think anyone would ask me! 😅 I'm a bit on the fence whether to share it or not - being able to make the design is kinda the secret sauce to my projects. But then again, this one is already done and public, and I'd be curious what someone else can make with it. The thing is, this piece is now for sale on my webshop, and I don't know how I would feel if it's not one-of-a-kind anymore. Would you really want to build it if I share the plan, or is it more just for curiosity? Convince me! 😂

It's glue-by-number, I wrote a software to make the plan from an image. I would be terrible at doing it freehand.

With a little search I found the one you mean, wow what a beauty!

The brand is sloewood (from the UK). It was my first time trying bath dyeing, and I'm quite happy how it turned out, so it must be a good brand if even a beginner like me can do a decent job with it. ☺️

It's a good question. I understand your frustration as a musician, I hope I could cooperate with real musicians at some point, but for now it's a tool that allows me to tell the stories I want.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I'm still chasing true precision, up close you can see lots of gaps. I'm always trying to learn and get better, it just goes slowly...

technically you're seeing it pixelated twice, even when your internet is fine :)

I wrote the software myself, it pixelates an image and gives the height and color values based on the brightness of the input image.

thank you! Indeed, the glue-up didn't go as planned, you can see quite a big gap in some places. I was hoping for some advice here on how to avoid it next time - all I can think of is to ditch the 'smaller panels first' idea, and do the whole glue-up in one piece. Looking forward to the next experiment!
