@chickencoop.bsky.social does not now, and will never, ever, use genAI.
Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Never.
Not even once.

Similar to how voice AI use has been suggested; for 'scratch'
or reference.
I know many actors, myself among them, who got jobs from the scratch work.
Every example of AI being used I've seen is cutting away a job that someone coming up would take or get on their journey.
Maybe that's the point.

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

There's no easy way to say this: my roommate is a covert racist and for the past 3 months has shown his true colors & has been actively being racist to my partner and actively hostile to the both of us.
We need help getting out of a horrible living situation. Pay links below.
