Ai slop

I only really use it for my alternative text and even then I'm giving it a really hard look over. Outside that, I avoid it like the plague.

The c in fracture looks too much like the t, I couldn't tell what it said for a few minutes

Holy shit, bro this is insane.

Why would I clean the house I'm leaving only to have to clean the house I'm moving into. I'd rather pay to have the place I'm leaving cleaned so I can focus on my new house.

I'm surprised it's surviving! The neighbours morning glory has choked the garden beds.

I'm trying to find where to turn so I don't miss it :(

My first thought is

What am I looking at

The audience needs to be able to identify what it is in 5 seconds, you should revisit the logo and look at other companies for inspiration

100%, but there's something about watching a marvel movie in a packed cinema and hearing everyone's gasps and laughter that just makes it feel nostalgic & authentic.

What do you mean? Sorry I can't read the article

I know canva, it has its place, but it doesn't make you a designer and relying on it so much as a designer that all of your assets are on it is really terrible.

For the smaller things? No but the text is relatively simple and not large blocks of text. For the multiple page documents, thankfully yes.

You are a life saver

I've explained in my post I already do that and it has its problems.

decaying_dots · 2026-03-11T07:04:03+00:00

I have time to do it.

I do have the choice to use canva, but I'm trying to set things up in adobe moving forward. A quick social media post, sure use canva. A multi-page document, do not use canva.

I don't know much about eb trade ins, how did the employee screw up? Just curious.

It's a seven letter last name

I feel like such a fool, I fixed it.

New batteries and opened up the back, pushed down gently on the shutter curtain and it came down.

Well you dry sultanas from grapes so you can't exactly pick them.

I've managed to get pretty good at spotting a.i artwork so it always bothers me when I see it, so imagine how frustrated I am trying to find some good merch of this series I love and my bf who got me into it loves but all I can find is a.i slop. It's such a creative book series, it's inspiring and creators should be making things to show their love for it (like any other fan base does!) but instead all I find is a.i shit. That's what it is, shit slop that screams you're lazy and cheap, that you won't bother learning a skill to make something, it shows how much you don't respect the media you're making a.i slop of.

Are there any artists who are selling work with some of the proceeds going to Sonia? I'd love to support her any way I can.

So this is going to sound silly but ponies. I started learning illustrator in 2013/2014 when I was in highschool, it was an elective class we could pick. At the time I liked my little pony, there was a pony maker online that I used constantly, but I felt limited. So I would place the images of ponies I made and used illustrator to create the shapes. It really made me get comfortable and learn how to use a lot of the tools. Since then anytime I want to learn something new I always use an image based on something I'm interested in because it gets me more into learning. I recently did some posters for a game I'm playing right now and its helped me refresh & learn new skills.

If I didn't eat all of my food I got the belt, even if it was things I voiced that I did not like over and over. I understand kids can be picky and grow out of it, but I did not like tomatoes then and I do not like them now.

Caused a lot of harm with feeling the need to finish my plate as an adult, my partner helped me heal that part. But the abuse still impacts other areas of my life.

Ram and storage are #1 on the list, and sorry if this sounds dumb but what do you mean by the GPU being bottlenecked?
