thanks. i came back to my house briefly but i was swamped with work and dread that i couldn't move anything which sucks
question, is there a specific reason lots of people are moving over there other than it having nice benefits :? I'm considering it but i feel like sending everything over there would be somewhat of a hassle for me lol
tldr kyle drake made a blog post praising AI that a lot of people were uncomfortable with (including myself) and as such i don't really want to keep my site here anymore. i'll keep up with people who do stay but i'm simply not comfortable here personally
ngl it's kinda funny that a lot of your arguments against AI could also be made against hatsune miku xD
i really don't appreciate this comment, it isn't funny at all. i have my thoughts on the matter you brought up but it isn't relevant to this discussion at hand, so simply: no. they aren't on the same level. i don't know how you saw my writing about how AI has affected my life and self esteem as an artist and you found that funny. fuck you
@visualculture Vocaloid isn't AI. Miku isn't AI. FFS I'm begging people to please do their research about how Vocaloid works
@crtstatic i know it's not AI. but it's an "easy way out" for recording vocals, replacing real people who spend lots of time training to be good at singing
ok to clarify because I forgot it: Vocaloid isn't gen AI, because V6 does technically use a type of AI. I forgot to mention that part.
@visualculture it's not even an "easy way out". Vocaloid requires literal hours of tuning and skill-crafting. It's not very user-friendly a lot of times, and it's not as easy as it may seem. It's a dreadful software to use sometimes.
@visualculture again, i don't know why you attached this random thought to my very personal writing about how i feel about AI as an artist that relies on it for income. it isn't an easy way out if it's the most accessible option to access a singer, pirated or otherwise. it has rarely been an easy way out if the culture itself revolves around the inherent love of the character and the medium
even so, the vocaloid sense of relying on a vocalist compared to, say, someone using an AI voice generator is insanely different. you put in the effort to shape the sound, keys, pitching, and other parameters however you wish as you need, similar to working with a typical piano synthesizer. the changing of a voicebank is more similar to a plugin then it is to generating a voice
@mikufan3939 and for a lot of people AI is the most accessible option to access an artist :shrug: anyway i wasn't trying to upset you. just thought it was an interesting similarity
can anyone relay this in full to me i have no idea what's going on and there's a lot of differing messages i'm seeing
i can't really do anything significant while still feeling unwell but depending on what i find about this i may move hosts
hey hope you're doing ok after the news, hope i'll be able to catch ya on nekoweb if you're moving hosts!
@seashrine i'll be okay, just frustrated since i'm sick and can't do too much about it. it really did hurt to read but i'll still keep up with sites i like here
i have a lot of thoughts on this particular topic that maybe i'll write someday, but in short if you try to pull that kind of thing on my site (whether in my chatbox or neocities profile) i'm going to ignore it because i'll likely be sick of you. my thoughts on this matter aren't going to change
to be clear i try not to be too active on social media on general but when you have a fandom that's almost always on social media it can't be helped at times. plus it's good for my brain that likes archiving and researching stuff

thank you for being concerned for my well being. hopefully the slower updates won't affect my work or your enjoyment of the site. i'll do my best to keep it the slightest bit alive, and a new vsynth blog post will hopefully be on the way
