@csolisr @ayke ha, not for this one. The QR code needed a specific contrast to work while being "perspective deformed" and I can do that only with Krita. I'll see if I can use Inkscape on a later one to expose this type of overlay to the translation system 😆

@Kampfdiestel True. It's really a chance here on Mastodon there is not a lot of AI bots doing AI propaganda. I find a lot of them on Instagram right now. Maybe my comic also act like a honey pot for them. Esp this episode https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbqn67rjDQ4/?img_index=1

@Netraven Thank you. Yes, it's for the fun. I guess there is no AI stupid enough to be programed to execute things they find in a random QR code inside a comic, and all of that with privilege. But I think I'll keep hiding things like that, for "the beauty of it" 😆

@encukou Thank you very much! TIL about the perspective effect. Do you know if this effect works on object like (dynamic, not converted as path) texts? That was my main struggle in this episode: https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/038.html , where I had to use simple "shearing" (not sure of the term) deformation, to fake perspective.

@VANTABlack2000 Thank you! Yes, I saw many bots being collectively replied with anger by real users, and my first feeling was that the companies, or service creating these bots were only doing this for creating rage/engagement, but I also wonder what the point in training their own audience to rage against this.Maybe there is layers of bots, by different companies, for different purposes. It's very opaque. My inspiration was a browsing on various article about the percentage of Bots in 2026.

@Stem @davidrevoy "since most of people doesn't even know the existence of Duckduckgo" - and yet you have no evidence whatsoever to suggest that people who DO know about it are somehow biased against AI, 🙄 not to mention haven't provided ANY DATA whatsoever that supports your ridiculous claim"success of the AI tools and the AI generated content speaks for itself" - yes, the fact that they are all losing money and thus keep having to ask for even more money from investors speaks for itself 🙄

@SmartmanApps @Stem I agree with Stemy here. My observations, outside of my bubble and outside my comic, is that a large majority are using AI by opportunity. It is free, and provide them the feeling of doing chore faster (writing, making visuals) and also give them information directly without the pain of searching, browsing, and being confronted to various website format and banneers/paywal/ads. So, the majority is adopting it as a progress in their life, because it is lazy/easy. (1/2)

@SmartmanApps @Stem (2/2) This opportunistic usage comes also with understanding of the ecological issues, the training data issue, the big corp owning it issue; but they often rationalize that for them, using it provide them an individual edge, and give them more time.So, this big majority tends to like reading things against AI and things pro AI too; for the entertainement of seeing it as inside an arena of idea. They feel outside of the debate. It's like that for many topic, imo.

@davidrevoy @Stem "a large majority are using AI by opportunity" - 2 different polls, both with thousands of votes, both put the figure at 10%, which is a small minority - only 1 out of every 10 people - and that's consistent with what I see in my feed as well

@SmartmanApps @Stem I don't think the poll is representative. People in our era ready to even participate to a poll and take action or getting a Pro/Cons mindset are the minority. Most individual prefer to keeps anonymous, don't express publicly any preferences that could be used against them later, just pass their way and maximize their adaptation to the most dominant culture later, especially if this one become so dominant it starts a witchhunt of the adversarial group later.

@breizh @SmartmanApps @Stem +1 BreizhSmartman, don't get me wrong, I would love to believe in this poll's results. But in my local reality (at weddings, in my repair garage, at the restaurant, on week-end) when I listen to my non-technical peers, it contradicts this poll.To me, this 175K of votes (minus the 10% who voted "pro AI") is just the result of active link shared in communities informed about AI issues, and activists (love them, btw, no problem here). Also, 175K is not a lot.

@light Quick evidences are sort of easy to find 'on the go' while browsing sometime on viral topics; you just need to check the profiles (profile name with a random word+four or five letter hash, generated avatar or no avatars, recently joined, have only history of comments like that and no 'normal' social media interaction). But knowing exactly how many bots profiles percents on a social media, no. Knowing who own them, no. Knowing why, no. It's very opaque...

@Linebyline Thank you. For the art style, I'm still unsure about the thick line-art and sketchy line; it felt like outlining my art with a drank truck and I wasn't happy about myself for that. But for the coloring, the little random textures, saturation inversions, and noise, I might keep that; I sort of start to like them. So, I'll keep this evolving, thank you for the feedback about it!

@PyrexContainer Hey, first, Nightshade is proprietary and not even has a Linux release; so big red flag; and also unfortunately, it's a scam. The method was defeated a week after release, but I love the intent (not the method) and I'm impressed by the Press coverage they got, and how many non technical artist still think this "armor of paper" will protect their art of anything. There is a lot of needs of a psychological protection into this product.

Yes, the Parrot are just terminals. Maybe I'll can set this up in next comics, but I'm also considering pausing a bit on the Avian Intelligence series, it's great, but the theme is also exhausting for me 😆

In case it helps shape the way you handle him, you might want to check out one of these threads:* The poll he ran that he's referring to: https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/117006976986454267* Another thread which exemplifies his mathematical knowledge and attitude to views which differ from his own: https://dotnet.social/@SmartmanApps/115207044364101854* Any other of his pinned posts with replies from other people.I would never want to instruct anyone in how or whether to discuss with someone, but I think there is a certain pattern across these different subjects that can help you decide.Full disclosure: I issue these messages somewhat frequently.

@PyrexContainer No, it's not just a filter, it's an AI regeneration of the picture with nudging at the pixels level some overall pattern to trick the AI labeling process. (eg. flag a cat for a dog picture). It's extremely costly in GPU resources compared to a filter like the ones of GMIC (Krita/GIMP).Also, have you seen what happened to Cara over the past weeks? they were offering this type of poisoning as a service... 12 Million of artworks scrapped. 3 times. https://www.threads.com/@zemotion/post/DcAmokzlLWj

@doctormo @encukou :blobcatheart: Good to know, thank you! I imagine it will be very difficult and require some fundamental modification at the text object level to receive effects like that. Right now, the only software I know that can stack effect deformation on top of editable text object is Blender (screenshot, eg. Wave Modifier on dynamic text object, multiline). It looks like "vector magic" how the nodes of the font itself can be influenced by a global effect at their root. Amazing.
