Someone posted their first AI-generated image yesterday. It wasn't perfect. The hands were weird. The lighting was off. They were proud of it.

And the comments were exactly what you'd expect. "Slop." "This isn't art." "You didn't make anything."

You know what that person did? They showed up. They tried a new tool. They shared something they made with strangers on the internet knowing full well someone might tear it apart. That takes more guts than most of the critics will ever have.

Every creative you admire was once the person posting something imperfect. The ones tearing people down for learning in public were never brave enough to start.
@yassie_j this might be the best one yet, 12 wrenches in this short span of time? incredible.
@yassie_j run this through kagi's LinkedIn translater though, it'd be funnier
@gen I actually got this from Threads LOL 💀
@gen no editing. Verbatim. I didn’t have to alter anything. Just the act of saying it through Henry’s voice makes it satirical lmao
@gen @[email protected] Wait, it's your account? I thought it was just some zany guy you had an amicable relation with. ​​
