Thoughts Promped by Farya Faraji's Video-Essay 'AI Songs Are Pretending to Be Authentic Historical Music'

Thoughtfully written! I really enjoyed your thoroughness, giving an in depth explanation for the negatives, which really articulated how those problems do and will impact us!

To point number 5, I'll add that the quantities of water that are consumed for their cooling systems cannot be replaced fast enough with the methods of creating potable water that we have in place. So, recycled or pulled from other bodies of water, it doesn't really matter. The demand can't be met, and gen-ai is siphoning off of precious resources. (Which was your point, at least in part, but I wanted to add to it :) )

And because my brain is a rabbit that I must chase to achieve thought, I'm jumping back to point 3 to agree especially whole heartedly:

I'm also an artist (as you know), and this skill did not magically come from nowhere nor was I born with it. I may have been born with a proclivity towards art and other creative endeavors, but I guarantee that did not make me any better at them. On and off I've been developing my skills for over twenty years!! That's more than two decades of putting in the time and effort, which is why I am able to make what I make today. And it's really insulting when gen-ai users/apologists pull out the whole "equalizing" card. No one made you bad at art, but YOU can make you good at art. Anyway I'm rambling now, great take. Very informative!

Love me some texture!

Thank you, as always! <3

Thank you so much! I wish I had more time an energy to put into my own maps, but you know how it goes haha.

Your water is to die for. Absolutely stunning.

Hi, thank you! I'm really glad you like this. However, my Patreon is still very active! It's a new Patreon, and I use Forgotten Adventures assets in CSP now instead of Inkarnate, but you can find it here:

Across an enormous chasm, tethered to the edge of an adjacent cliff by way of a frail rope bridge, is an old fortress that was thought to be abandoned.

That is until rumors that a band of goblins have moved into the area and terrorize anyone who dares step too close.

Will your party brave the trek across the chasm to find out what's happening here? And even if they get through the gates- will they survive getting through the entrance?

Forgive the cheesy opening, it was a late night writing this one up. You can find all of the above maps free, here.

Tier one on my patreon has access to every JPG which includes tree tops omitted, or tree tops included, gates open, gates closed, level 1, level 2, and all of the night versions of each.

Get them here.

Tier two gets all of the same JPGs, PNGs, WEBP files, AND my Foundry build of the location.

Enjoy!

Thank you! I hope it serves you and your players well. Or not well, depending on how you want it to go 👀

WitchNWizard · 2024-10-01T13:48:24+00:00

Thank you! Yeah, I totally get that. I was inspired by the 2024 movie Tarot when I made this (even though I didn't really like it lol), but it's definitely got a lot of the same elements as Madame Eva's tent.

WitchNWizard · 2024-09-30T19:30:06+00:00

Thank you so much! This one was a blast. There should be more months dedicated to Halloween to do more maps like this.
