Party Trick

Summary: A diplomatic event playing at a party isn't the kind of fun that ambassador Loki Odinson likes, but it's not like his brother Thor is giving him a choice. Thankfully, Loki meets an interesting person while he's there and the night begins to finally look up.

I work in an animation studio and one group was organizing a DnD campaign. All but two people knew how to draw and talking about making art of their character while working on their character sheets. One of the two who doesn’t draw was saying sadly that they had to just find whatever art online that works best and go with that….then they joked about using mid journey and everyone piled on them about it! And while I understand the reaction of professional artists in the current situation….it makes me sad for that person. Like they were clearly so bummed being the only one not having an image for their character. I feel like that’s what AI should be about, entertain yourself, create things you wouldn’t otherwise be capable of for your own entertainment ! I draw but I can’t write for shit, chatGot can help me writes the dialogues I have in my head but struggle to write in the way I like. I used it to send a funny « Jane Austen Victorian style » hand written letter to my friend after they offered me a wax seal for my birthday, because I’m not a native speaker and I wanted some help. I’m thinking it could help me out writing big speeches of impressive character when I DM for my friends. I could use AI to generate inspiration when I draw, help me out with my backgrounds cause I suck at them. I love those little AI generated interior design that are super whimsical with like wall high bookshelves and round windows and i love seeing people online get excited about these concepts and sharing them between themselves. I love seeing my friend have fun with deepfake videos and putting themselves into scenes of their favourite film or tv show. Or those really funny prompt that one of my friend likes to put into mid journey to create absurd images that turn into memes in our group chats. I feel like that’s what it should be fun, entertaining, a little game we play with each other and for ourselves, like making a picdrew profile pic or playing on a character generator. I truly thinks AI can be a great tool for individual creativity.
