since i wanted to put this on my site but obviously can't, i took part in a collaborative cover for tsumiki's culture for it's second anniversary! the song means a lot to me. i illustrated for miku and everyone i worked with was simply amazing, so check it out when you can: https://youtu.be/nPL03Al-qgM?si=A4hJ-qHpBFaymp5g

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

ok. site is inaccessible until further notice. i'm not happy staying on a host regardless if he intends to bring genAI to neocities or not, his personal statement is clear enough for me to feel uncomfortable and not want to express myself. you can read more on my site

ngl it's kinda funny that a lot of your arguments against AI could also be made against hatsune miku xD

mikufan3939 1 year ago

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

crtstatic 1 year ago

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

in other news for this site (because i need to put out a quick update) the new pages i've been working on will unfortunately take a little while to come out. finishing a big school project isn't fun so *shrugs*. will be back as fast as i can so i can get this show on the road quicker.

my sign to take time off social media is people claiming miku isn't 16 and everyone acting like that's factual

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

so i just noticed my site's on the neocities front page. i don't really have anything huge or significant to say (especially since i'm not huge on checking site engagement) but simply: thank you for supporting my site, i'll add more to it whenever i possibly can so i can get back into the groove of updating. spreading miku love one step at a time :)
