shout out to suzanne collins for, in the middle of Everything Else she was doing in sotr, dropping a paragraph that’s just “btw fuck ai”

the orange of lenore dove's paint & orange as peeta's favourite colour & the orange of lucy gray's scarf & the orange of the backpack katniss picks up in book 1 & the orange of the tribute apartment &

Maysilee’s final poster wasn’t her death, it was her pin being the face of the rebellion 25 years later.

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.
