Re: AI art for TUGs?

If "real" artists can't produce work better than a computer can in seconds at a fraction of the cost, why should they have jobs? Photoshop has allowed many average people to create outstanding photographs but skilled photographers are still in demand. If your work is deemed to be worse th...

Re: The Perilous Pursuits of Kari, the Teen Reporter (MF/F)

Excellent story with a nice take on the old Nancy Drew style of schoolgirl detective. The main character is very well described, motivation, feelings and actions, and there is a a good narrative. And of course she gets tied up. The tickle torture is fun too. Just one thing. They tickle her bare fee...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

So, you completely ignore the second half of the argument about the moral and ethical implications of AI art on real people in favor of a "gotcha" that really doesn't hold water. I think it's clear you don't really care about it, and so your relevance to the conversation has petered out. ...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

Both are awful. The first is something that looks weirdly similar to so much other ai art. There is no intention behind it. You typed some words in, and the algorithm spit something out. And I guess you go by it being somewhat realistic, right? The Simpsons or Ren & Stimpy, which are crude and ...

The Perilous Pursuits of Kari, the Teen Reporter (MF/F)

Based on an idea from [mention]Druid_Princess[/mention] Kari was not your typical high school student. The 15-year-old girl with long black hair dyed an electric shade of blue, strode confidently through the bustling hallways of her high school. Her attire, reminiscent of a Hot Topic model, drew cur...

And as for your second point, you show a willful miaunderstanding of what makes art valuable, which is the creativity behind it. Yes, you have to be truly creative to produce great art that can been shown in a famous museum https://www.rauschenbergfoundation.org/sites/default/files/styles/767x/publ...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

I think your analogy is flawed. I'm not a good artist but I can just pick up a pen and draw something I like, be it a character in my head or a simple sketch of my cats. There is inspiration and reference but in the end, that piece of artwork would not exist without me, regardless of quality. So an...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

Just say you don't really care about art or artists or the people behind art at all and move on, dude. AI cannot create art because it has no consciousness or intention. Art doesn't have to MEAN something, but it requires someone actually making it. An AI is just following algorithmic procedure. Al...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

AI is directly anti expression. Art, no matter who or what is made, is made for purposes, from people, to signify love or passion for something. AI Art goes against this. Huh? So if I pay an artist to draw a picture of my cat he cannot do so unless he has a love of cats or a passion for drawing cat...

Re: AI art for TUGs?

Everybody has their own definition of art. In my case "AI" generated data (whatever medium) are not art. I think something can only be considered art if it carries some form of message or intention to the recipients. Wrong. I can squirt ketchup on a napkin and call it art. I can take a pi...

Re: Sudowrite

To me, use of AI to generate a story for personal use and amusement is fine. What would bother me is if said story would then be posted publically and passed off as the poster's own creation, when clearly that is plagiarism and would violate site rules (rule 3.e specifically https://tugstories.com/...

Re: Scarf Bondage

I love scarf bondage however, every video I ever watch with it usually involves the women having their entire head and face covered by scarves which ruins the effect with overkill.

Angela Lansbury was 60 when she started starring in "Murder, She Wrote". So you're the perfect age to start poking your nose in the business of nefarious characters.

Re: What do you like to hear from tied up people/characters?

I like to imagine a character from an English Regency novel saying something like:

"Am I to be your prisoner?"

"You intend to bind me?"

"You needn't gag me. I shan't scream"

Re: F/f babysitter story

I'd like to try this, but let me restate the premise just to make sure I understand what you're asking.

There are two girls who are friends. One has a younger sister that the other fantasizes about tying up so she volunteers to babysit her to make her fantasy come true.

Correct?

There is an FBI fingerprint database and there are ways to inquire about whether someone has a criminal record based on a sample of their fingerprint. The actual process of doing that was simplified for this story lol :lol:
