@HHunter1 said in Her Paperwork:

I worry I’m putting effort into creating something while someone puts a few prompts into a program

My two cents : I still believe there is value to making it yourself. It’s like saying, ‘why bother painting this landscape on canvas if I can wipe out my cell and take a picture’? That was the fear behind the invention of photography last century, and digital photography more recently (which I’m old enough to remember causing heated debates with ‘true’ photographers).

My take will always be that the act of creating the art, the actual process - brush strokes, words written, clay sculpted - are as important as the end result itself. Art and artist can’t be dissociated - the fact that a human mind and/or body was behind it has intrinsic value. What another person is using as a medium is irrelevant.

I do have a problem with selling synthographies, as it was trained on copyrighted materials for which the original artists weren’t compensated. But if we focus solely on size content such as what is posted above, honestly, it’s incredibly niche - a drop in the ocean of what generative AI is used for, and a harmless one at that. I mean, sure for us it matters, because we’re macro-/micro- philes. My real concerns are abuse of generative AI for media manipulation and fake news.

Disclaimer: Echodeck is a cool dude and isn’t selling his art, or hiding the fact that he’s using AI. Someone shared his work here without specifying (or knowing) that it was the case. So please don’t lash out on him.

@Olo Don’t shoot the messenger, hehe. “Synthography” is the term that is being used in English to describe images generated partially or completely with AI.

@Olo yup, echodeck is indeed a synthographer

@ricenoodle Thanks for understanding the struggle of realtime translation during RP. But now I’m curious, what is your native language? Mine is French, btw.

I’ve been guilty of ghosting, but to be fair I’ve been ghosted FAR more often than not. I’m more into an RP session if I’m in control, and the best ones I’ve had was when I was stealing someone else’s OC from a story I liked hehe. It’s kinda like taking a pre-made character in Dungeons and Dragons and playing his part. Works very well if you align with said character.

Oh and welcome to DD!

@ricenoodle I enjoy learning what everyone likes too, It’s been such an eye opener. Crazy how much variety the size fetish has spawned! Made me discover so many things about myself, even if outside of my comfort zone.

I have to say that, even more than the shrinking itself, it’s the anticipation of the shrinking that gets me really going. I like a slow buildup leading to that moment. Even better are the rare times I truly wasn’t expecting any size change, only to get hit out of nowhere with my kink lol

I’m ashamed to say I sound like the bad Redditors RPers you describe. Sometimes I just get too tired, English isn’t my mother’s tongue and requires a mental overhead to translate and express myself properly. Or it’s a compatibility issue, I get self-conscious, etc. I just suck sometimes.

@SmolChlo well sue me and my Giant/tiny brain but I find these pictures really hot

I have to say the aspect I love the most is shrinking - the actual process itself has always been as enjoyable to me as the aftermath. Seeing girls shrink in cartoons as a child was one of my first awakening experiences to the fantasy. I would replay in my mind the scenes, that’s why even to this day I love shrinking to be a rather slow, gradual thing.

I’m hopeless in the number of times I’ve imagined using shrink rays on unsuspecting victims…

Primary school teacher? SHRINK.
Girl I had a crush on in 8th grade? ZAP.
Woman who intimidates me? FIRE.
Cute co-worker? DOWN SHE GOES.

Thank god they couldn’t read my mind.

You seem to have had some pretty good experiences in RP, which I can’t really relate to. Maybe I haven’t been lucky, or probably I just suck at RP? I realized I simply can’t play the cruel giant, that’s not me. I can be playful, teasing, a bit rough or somewhat blissfully unaware of the fear I can cause, sure. But I love tinies too much to hurt them. Yeah I know the whole noncon shrinking is borderline and contradicts what I just said lol

Nowadays I’d much rather indulge in well-written fiction - the community has sooo many talented people.

@Olo That’s rather impressive if it’s truly AI, it’s so hard to keep character designs constant from one frame to the next. There’s probably some editing involved. Very hot regardless!

@skysayl Oh trust me I know how important every single inch is to you tinies

@skysayl W-wait, so you’re shorter than 5’1" ? You’re getting close to the actual SW experience

@giantmaneddie awww short girls are the next best thing to actual SWs we have in this reality. Bless them!

@littlest-lily I’m fine with viewing them on Deviantart. I mean, you could still post simple update notifications here, and just link to your WT/DA?

@The-Big-G haha I know but I cannot resist sizey puns and jokes !

@littlest-lily To be fair, it’s really not that hard to literally put you inside a nutshell
