Bettererodite

I had stayed off of DA for several months last year due to winding up selling my previous business, moving, and death of my nearly ten year old computer. When I came back I was immediately inundated with the massive amount of young, pretty, mostly blonde babes with massive firm breasts that were accentuated by yards of rope.

Well, that was interesting. I found other artists who were churning out non-bondage naked beauties and the revival of steampunk. I was happy.

Now, AI is growing to such a large extent that it is now the artists sticking to their 3-D, water color, paint, and actual photo scenes that are being shuffled off to the side, or in several scrolls down the Home Page.

Rarely does someone from one of the old genres of art rise to the top level. This is sad.

In the past week I've given up trying to hold off AI as stated in my previous journal posting.

And been scrolling thru the various genres I like and some I haven't paid attention.

What I've noticed is that the artists who show what that asked AI to do, reveals that AI

doesn't always do one or two things. Some of this is a benefit I believe to the AI

'users', (I'm still not sure that I can call you artists for just writing out a search engine

description.) And sometimes it seems a more literal term is needed to get what you want.

I notice that new users still have some of the pains of AI fingers, feet, and worse of all NIPPLES. Which come in four varieties: non-existant, tiny dots, crushed, and the terrible mud rubble ones that come in pairs for each breast. DUH, hey we're talking about exciting, beautiful women in any context, or event, or genre, ruined by this lack of decency.

After taking down yesterday's rant about AI I've been spending my week admiring all the new stuff out there.

There is one new theme I've noticed: rear views of naked Ladies walking away.

I've seen all too many Ladies, fully clothed, walking away in the past and regretting what might have been so I'm admiring, appreciating, and shouting Yes to this theme.

I came across a pic today by Doc Sailor that made me fall almost off my swivel chair with delight, rapture, purpose.

To that end I've readjusted my purpose here. I've been trying to get away from the humongous amount of prior/AI generated heavy bondage/harmful pics, to lesser NSFW pics.

However, I have found that there is still enough NSFW pics to go thru and find something

interesting. I usually go for what my eyes like on first sight on the HOME page. Then going back later to the artist galleries to see what else they have to delight the eye.

So I've decided to stick to a few subjects: great sea pics, trains and cars and architectures (dividing those up between real and imagined), and the Ladies of NSFW Steampunk, 20's Flappers, and 50's Stepford.

Therefore some artists will now be 'Watched'. So beware or aware. My comments are usually witty and very Male centered.

I'm also going to start filling my own galleries with a few ideas.

Hope you will stick with me.

Dear Artists of Steampunk. As much as I love and amused at all the weird creations that some of you create, there are a heck of a lot of you that don't seem to understand the Steam and Punk parts.

Every hat does NOT have to have goggles. Numerous clocks seems like someone needs a lot of alarms.

Locomotives and rail cars usually run on top of the rails. Steam chimneys/funnels/spouts/stacks don't all blow out dark smoke. Most blow out excess steam which is water which is usually white. Air ships fly better if not loaded down with weight such as metal bodies, causing even heavier equipment to keep them inflated.

Steamboats used paddle wheels primarily on rivers due to the shallowness of the water.

And found that it was better to have smoke stacks BEHIND the pilot's view of the river.

Not all Ladies wore corsets, however enjoyable that idea is.

Not all men wore slicker type coats and stovepipe hats.

I realize that AI is still learning but I keep seeing far too many late 20th century and 21st century items left in the backgrounds. And it doesn't seem to learn about proportions when added to scenes. I'm sure the programming will get better.

Also, I am not an artist. Just a commentator here. And I may make a mistake. So tell me when I'm wrong or tell me not to comment on your work. And if I seem to favor one artist more than another, or buy or not buy, or not bother with certain genres to show on my page, it does not mean I don't have respect for one an all of you who present your work here.

There are so many AI artists now that almost 75% of what I have Favored

is AI generated. This day I have found an artist who works at it on his phone,

and while I find that interesting, the AI has not learned proportions.

A favorite artist asks a mere $1.25 to download, I've seen as little as .63 cents.

But now we have people on here asking for $125 for really not much better

art or substance.

And there is one huckster who is coming on every few days to hawk his AI systems.

This is getting out of hand.

WIX and DA need to clamp down on number of AI pics that can be offered a day.

And forces the sellers of the systems into a separate category.

And all the while, those who are still struggling with traditional art techniques

are being shoved to the lower ranks.

And yes I do realize that I am helping the mass AI marketers, and yes I'm not always

buying artwork I favor. (The Holiday season has crimped what I had started to spend

here. And help out those who need a Core to put up pricing.)
