I'm leaving social media again. I'm too emotionally fragile for this, my traumatized bipolar brain goes into red alert almost every time I scroll. Find my art on Newgrounds or Patreon. Molly out.

Interesting regarding AI and Kpop Demon Hunters 1/2

Artists Against Generative Al
15 AGAINST
Andrew Unferdorfer • 14h • G
A Redditor caught this. Looks like a possible instance where a translation bot fabricated pro-Al misinformation and that got picked up and amplified as real news.
The misinformation states that ChatGPT was used by the creators of KPop Demon Hunters to help them write the song "Soda Pop".
Problem is, when somebody went back to the original source in Korean, IT DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT USING AI OR CHATGPT!
The article was translated with Al, and it looks like the Al itself made up this complete lie, and the truly terrifying thing is how nobody questioned it until this one person went digging for the truth.
We launched the OpenAl Korea office yesterday!
Fav moment from the launch celebration was hearing singer/songwriter Vince share that ChatGPT helped him write "Soda Pop" from KPop Demon Hunters! It apparently gave him ideas to make it sound "more bubbly"

Tweet's now deleted, but here's a bit further down the web of this:
The original article this was sourced from, from Korea JoongAng Daily, says this:
"Prior to the unofficial event, producer Vince also spoke with Business Director Oliver Jay at OpenAl's official launch event. Vince stated, "We sometimes use ChatGPT to generate inspiration when producing K-pop," and also mentioned that Al technology is already being utilized in K-pop."
The thing is, that's only in the English translation.
The Korean article it's translated from doesn't mention KPop Demon Hunters using Al at all. So, how did it get there? Well, the English article, as confirmed by a note at the bottom, was translated using generative Al. So, since different language versions of the article contradict themselves, there's a nonzero chance that this entire debacle is an Al hallucination ITSELF, spawned from an Al translation

A bright orange Daylily is reflected in the pond water. Is it any less beautiful because of the distortions in the water?

THE COSMIC COMPUTER (1977)
Acrylic on Illustration Board - 28" x 18"

The abandonment of the Apollo program tracks pretty well with the erosion of interest in real science fiction. I’m not talking about Fantasy SF, like Star Wars; that’s a different matter altogether. 1/4

A trio of men in form fitting spacesuits take cover behind a small overturned spacecraft. Bronze metal peels back from the nose with impact and bullet holes riddle the aft. In the immediate foreground, a space trooper with a slender laser rifle leans an elbow on the wreckage to line up a shot. Another trooper boldly stands with a knee raised and arm extended as light flares from the muzzle of his pistol. His torso is framed by a pink moon looming large in the red sky as two space jets burn past. The man next to him falls back, hands tense in shock, as his helmet explodes into shards.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth

You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

I'm getting really anxious and scared that we'll loose our home and a lot of our belongings if we don't come up with another 1k soon to cover the bills that ate into our rent money. Please consider!! Keep in mind once we pay rent we'll have no money left so any extra little bit helps! #helpsky

And because I had so much fun with this order, I've decided to open these official as commissions on Ko-fi! Only Sonic characters for now. I'm working on another commission with a friend of mine and I'm helping adding onto a non-sonic design so there will be a non-sonic example in the near future!
