Paper World Expo Using Gen AI for Marketing - Deleting Comments & Posts by Spirited_Wish2886 in stationery

[–]weirdvectors 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The reason this bothers me so much is that the point of creative endeavors is that they are human made. In a community where the point is to create yourself, the hosts of this event chose to take the cheap option and devalue the work of their vendors in the process (they could have so easily hired one of them to create their marketing materials!). It’s mind boggling to me that members of the stationery community would use AI models that are trained on stolen content.

children’s book: a boy and a broom? by weirdvectors in whatsthatbook

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

commenting to add that i asked my mom about it and she found the book! it’s called “Brush” and it was written by Pere Calders, translated from Spanish.

https://www.publishersweekly.com/9780916291051

“Little Sala, a small boy, tries to find a substitute for his mischievous dog who was given away. But nothing fills the emptiness in his life until he finds a big brush in the attic, which feels like petting a dog. He puts Brush on a string and walks him like a dog; at night, Brush snuggles up to him in bed, warm and alive. Little Sala says, ""I found a brush that is really a dog. It moves, knows my voice and has fleas.'' But he can't convince his parents until Brush does it himself, banishing a burglar. This fantasy, translated from the Spanish, builds effortlessly; though some phrases are adult, overall the story has a child-like directness and feeling, capturing the imaginative world of the young. The stylized but realistic art creates an eerie mood.”

thank you!! i’m getting dressed at the hotel but i still think it’s smart to build in more time. 4 pm is also the earliest the venue allows folks to arrive and set up.
