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
i hate genai too and i understand why people are leaving over this, but... site owners are always going to have opinions you don't agree with. it is up to y'all over whether or not you want to continue using the site, but maybe keep this same energy for other sites like twitter and tumblr as well.
as for me, i'll continue with neocities. if there is ever any sign of genai being implemented, then i'll dip too. for now, i don't think neocities will be affected and thus i'll stay.
also, i recommend you guys implement a robots.txt file to prevent any ai bots from scrapping your site! ^_^
On robots.txt: I went looking around and it looks like this page has a nice list of sites to block https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt
@pip-pepping thanks for the link! i could have sworn i had a robots.txt for this site but it seems i don't... i'll be adding it right away! ^_^
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
we are still on hiatus but i just happened to notice this comment and i'll have to check out what you did later! i'm not maintaining the comment widget anymore but i'd be willing to dust it off for an update for this reason
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

as much as i would love to allow people to add their own images, there are unfortunately bad actors who can take advantage of that and inject unsavory things 😔😔😔 rip silly cat 2024-2024
