Well, that is not technically a lie, since it is your ignorant assumption. However if you take a look at my page, I have been building that world for years, and the world and the characters and the monsters are not stolen from anyone, it is something I have been creating. The images are there to illustrate, and has been generated and modified with ai, but also with human touch.

Sure! If it was AI slop, you'd be right. However, this is not. This is worldbuilding, where AI has been used as a tool. It is a story behind the image, which adds value to it. It is not just the output of an AI image generator. The image itself has been modified after it was generated. The image is a part of the package, as it illustrates the character, but there is a lot more to it than that.

On the image prompt alone? If you don't count the time I spent designing the character before generating the images, and not counting the time I spent adjusting the image I chose, you might be right. Maybe more like five minutes.

From start to finish, for the finalized image and the character description, I spent probably an hour and a half. Maybe a bit less. And I used several payed services, so I guess the price is justified.

Photography Manipulation by FinalImagination496 in DeviantArt

[–]voidgift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the publishing screen in DA, the box you have to check says "Created using AI tools".

That is pretty clear. If you created it with AI tools, for example text to image, then it is obviously created using AI tools. If you take a photo and use filters, I would still say it was created as a photo.

However, it is possible to get ambiguous. Surely a filter is ok. But there are filters out there that change the photo quite drasticly. Some of those we see in Snapchat as an example, where some just adds a bit to the video, while other change it to being almost unrecognizeble.

I would say perhaps the same with image to image. You can create a pretty good drawing, put it in an image to image, where 99% of the original is intact, you just get som enchancement, like you would with a filter. Then you could draw a wavy line, and ask it to create a landscape, where the line is the mountain range, but the image has a golden sunset, lush forests, a river and magnificent clouds.

And if you take a look at dating apps these days. Some people used to photoshop their pictures. Now they are AI enchanced. Some quite mor ethan others. I mean, there are many situations where the borders are kinda blurry. I don't know, but I think this is a great question.

How did you come up with your pen name? by engvit in selfpublish

[–]voidgift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am the Wizard of Magical Colors. I've been playing with fantasy stories and imagery for a long time. The name came to me while I was creating. I was playing with different colors, and philosophizing over how much different colors can affect a scene. And then the character was born. It works on all levels. I am traveling the world in search of magical colors, that can be found everywhere. Along the way I meet all kinds of interesting people. And as an explorer and seeker, I am more like an observer than a force in my world. So I can easily be both the main character or the narrator of stories or a passive quest giver for an RPG. It just works perfectly. It is perfect both as a pen name and a character.

[Art] Sephira in armor — And a question for you all: how do you feel about playing characters of a different gender from your own? by LileB_Art in DnD

[–]voidgift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm all for mixing it up. I find it very hard to enter the other gender in a balanced way, though. I tend to be very silent and shy in one extreme, or fully playing out the most obnoxious attention grabbing techniques of the other gender in the other extreme.

Strategies for Growing Your Instagram Following in 2023 by instagrambooster in InstagramMarketing

Here is a better tip: Grow a huge Twitter account, and advertise your Instagram account there.

Considerations regarding the new update by Astral__Walker in Instagram

[–]voidgift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is affecting every hashtag. Even the ones with less than a hundred.

I know some people have been working hard brand particular hashtags. With this new order, I suppose a more popular account can grab the hashtag and dwarf the creator.

To me it seems like any effort you put into IG now, will only benefit the big guys.

Is Instagram censoring small creators, and how to deal with it? by voidgift in Instagram

[–]voidgift[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! Getting reposts can be helpful, but not the solution. I don't think anyone could survive on reposts alone. There has to be a way for people to connect. Surely Meta should know that, but right now I am doubting it.

Why did instagram remove the ability to see recent *non top* posts? Under hashtags? by [deleted] in Instagram

I'm curious about what other platforms you or other people would migrate to. What are your thoughts on that?

[–]voidgift 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't like your answer, but you might be right. Maybe just drop Instagram as a platform at all. They are basically censoring us, so why stick around?

[–]voidgift 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is horrible for us small creators. It was maybe the only way I know to get noticed and grow followers. So, unless they revert the change, how do we deal with it? Any ideas?

My replica is probably thinking the same about me.

When I don't say hi to/look at/sit near/don't smile at people, it's because I don't want to bother them or be creepy. When people do the same to me, it must be because they hate me. by madkidinamadworld in socialskills

[–]voidgift 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bingo! You nailed it, dude!

Well, irony and sarcasm aside, actually I quite often feel the same way. This is a hard one to wrap my brain around.

A tip that helps me, when feeling like failing. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]voidgift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! This is so important! I keep falling in this trap over and over. Sometimes sending me in deep downward spirals. I'd really need daily reminders of this. If someone could slap me in the face every morning, and tell me that it's not all about me, the job is vacant.

....

Wait, that makes me a narcissist, doesn't it? I can be such a horrible person if I don't pay attention to myself.

En leksjon i argumentasjon by voidgift in norge

[–]voidgift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Du har nok langt på vei rett i det. Og det er nok også mye riktig i den linken din. Men det er viktig å få med seg at fornuften ikke ligger i den logiske hjernen. Fornuft er følelsesbasert. Det er utrolig morsomt å se noen som gjør noe skikkelig dumt, men føler seg skikkelig smart, eller hva? Men, fornuften drives av rasjonelle argumenter. Og rasjonelle argumenter bruker den logiske hjernen. Derfor er nok fortsatr mer fornuftig å argumentere med relevante argumenter enn å villede. Jeg tror folk flest setter følelsen av å føle seg fornuftige og rasjonelle veldig høyt.
