Keep it impersonal. Make it about growth, leads, clients, money. Don’t speak to ethics because it’s too personal. Money, audience, growth, relatability, trends, bad optics & maintaining good faith. Might help. Might not. AI dependence (system 3 thinking) is an extremely hard habit to break out of.

Then add a small piece like: In my experience growing my social media presence I’ve noticed an increasing amount of backlash when gen AI is used on any project I’ve been involved with & I’d like to avoid any disturbances to my soc med growth & lead generation by being open with my involvement.

They may feel shamed. You can always follow up with a q? Eg, Just checking in to ask if the team had made a decision on the use of gen AI in soc med for this project? Since my assets will be involved in this rollout I’d like to be prepared for future q’s on this part of the project from clients.

My answer to this (trap) question would be my own q’s; Eg, How do you plan to use AI generated content to convey a ‘human touch’? Do you feel using AI gen’d content, after paying a human artist, will cast doubt on the legitimacy of the artwork? How much backlash to this choice is anticipated?

Hey everyone! So, I've had my commissions closed for a long time, and life has been bumpy, but I think I may have some time to open 1-2 cover slots, depending on volume and deadline, starting soon. Wouldn't mind some fantasy/ttrpg work. Some samples:

Aussie landlords: really bringing the house down… 🥁

The ivy and pothos growth pattern confusion is real! I feel cause ivy in its more traditional varieties is extremely woody and hardy where pothos is light and springy. Pothos will crawl naturally in horizontals or pour out of a pot downwards. Ivy is thick and stubborn. Growing upwards.

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

I got some uhhh WILD legal news today and our website, StarWhispers, is down for just a bit while I switch services. If you want to be a doll and help us out of the pit, here’s now to do it. Thank you. 💚

Literally woke up TODAY and was like: I’m safer & happier than I’ve been in years, why is my executive function so bad lately? 🔥🌈🥲🌈🔥 Oh.

The power in her surname is also not lost on me here. What a bloody legend.

Her name is Nurse Chloe Freeman and she lost her job and put a target on her back to free an innocent stranger. She is so brave.

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
