ol' what's her face

"the audience doesn't know what was supposed to happen, the worst thing you can do is flinch and in doing so admit something wasn't planned"

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

Dreams of Coupris Kineema

Learning new things is frustrating! Not being able to get something to work or look or read the way you want it to is frustrating!

But you're robbing yourself of a lot of learning and growth by turning to gen AI to solve it rather than sitting with that frustration.

Being able to keep going at it through frustration is a very valuable skill that is genuinely transferable to a lot of different types of tasks.

I always worry that we, as gen AI haters, end up sounding like Socrates complaining about the youth writing things down instead of just remembering them, but I do genuinely worry that we'll end up with a lot of young people with a very low tolerance for frustration, the way use of generative AI in school is going.

Socrates wasn't wrong about the impact on memory, but he was wrong about the broader impact on society, so this is where I'd argue that off loading the task of remembering is different from off loading the task of problem solving. It's okay that we don't remember information as well when looking it up is trivial, but if we can't problem solve on our own, we also can't examine the solutions generative AI provides for us and evaluate whether that solution is suitable for the given task.
