I drew on some wood a few weeks ago. Need to find some more wood scraps to try some more.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

last week i saw a person at uni reading a book on their computer like this. i wanted to take a picture but then i remembered it’s more fun, funnier, and more respectful to just doodle it afterwards :3
this is the best ad for having a laptop i've ever seen
im gonna buy the smallest and cheapest one i can find just to go to my uni's library and read books like that
this is why I got the laptop with removable keyboard
I can get behind this.
I need to get a nice pen like this.
Well, then! Fuch you, too!
Hell yeah. I've never done any visual art before but I just started trying last week, specifically as an anti-AI act. Just drawing what I see when I'm bored, and following a book I got.
Painted these little goobers today, gonna make Christmas ornaments
Absolutely fantastic

(Poorly) drawn on Android, via the FOSS app Butterfly (I don't use it much, but I recommend it if you want a basic FOSS drawing app to do the occasional doodle in)
Thanks OP for inspiring me to doodle this silly little thing. It's been years since I did much drawing, so it was fun to get out of my comfort zone.
Here's a little fella
Also:
Officer Kutalowski, the Anti-slop cop, approves of this post and it's comment section. Carry on Kittyzens!
I would read a comic with your anti-slop cop.
Oh awesome!
He currently lives at Funhole and has 3 episodes out (and a few scribbles here n there). More to follow.

Henceforth it shall notte be forgotten
Drew this little fella for inktober
I am practising making cakes
I'd reply with the Patrick Stewart "Sexy Cakes" snl skit but unfortunately it also has Rob Schneider in it.
Still, sexy cake though!

What could be more charming than a cake made with this much genuine feeling?
The best thing is that my fiancée made a joke about a cake like this, so I have been practising it for her birthday
The guys I work with have now enjoyed many cakes and agree that I have it dialled in perfectly
She's going to be so surprised!
That's so special, I love it!
My son drew his younger brother the other day. Now, I'm not saying it's a shitty scribble, but it's no Vermeer. I'll take this over any AI slop or those garbage NFTs because this little drawing will always be more valuable to me.
Qwok
Ducks' legs grow like ferns, branching and rebranching from the root
straight to jail
Here's a happy bowl of cereal
I'd rather see your shittiest scribble than one AI slop
What am I supposed to do with this, then?
Sadly not true, people will tear apart the smallest mistakes.
Here's a happy chappy regardless
No, I'd rather see this than slop.
A very dappy happy chappy!
"Shitty scribble" is a risky level of open-to-interpretation
This Limerick is truly atrocious
It doesn't respect the meter
Half the time
It doesn't rhyme
But at least it was made by a human :)
a while back I (not on this account) posted something like this in !microblogmemes@lemmy.world and people commented aigen pictures of napkin doodles :(
edit: actually i found the post and it was just one guy, maybe not all comments are federated to my current instance tho
Art
AGREED.
nothing triggers me more when I go on shitty youtube, and see a video for a videogame and they used AI to generate garbage when a literal in-game screenshot is free and 1 keystroke...
it's dishonest and I immediately assume the 'content slop creator' doesn't give a damn
I’m embracing gaucher and messier stuff in my graphic design work, because at a certain point it’s just my style and it’s not from a canva bot. Weird how like it took the slop-death of the internet to get some pride in my rougher edges
Kind of makes me think about how the rise of abstract art was a reaction to the invention of cameras and other scientific advancement. We’re arguably already getting cool art in reaction to slop (eg, all of !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org), but hopefully it will inspire* even more
* is inspiration even the right word when it’s rooted in disgust for slop? Oh well

It has been amazing watching the transformation around San Francisco the past few years. Just a few years ago, all the billboard advertisements and conversations you would hear were about cloud services or big data. The whole start up grifting ecosystem quickly changed to AI everything. Now every advertisement is some stupid company that wants you to use its "harness" or "router" in addition to paying for your model access. Everyone is trying to keep up the same hype game but now everyone is just a glorified prompt engineer sitting between your money and a handful of AI companies. It's a very weird ecosystem to see a lot of people trying to sell useless shit to each other with Anthropic/OpenAI/etc in the middle.
And if you're some poor bastard just getting out of school hoping to get into any kind of job and you think being a prompt engineer is going to be a career path.. Just LOL
And the internet responds with buckets of downvotes for low effort posts
John Frusciante's first few solo albums are so much better than any lifeless AI-generated music
Snail Mail's first EP Stick, which I believe is only on YouTube
Julien Baker's first band Forrister / The Star Killers, which you can find on Bandcamp
Red Hot Chili Peppers' first demo EP
The list goes on and on. They're not polished, but they're better than the polished turds AI makes
