DOWN WITH ROBOTS. WE RETURN

FIRED. We've fired all the robots. LyrAI, LunAI, FluttershAI, and TrixAI are now GONE. No more will you be blinded by ridiculous cutiemarks. No more will I have to edit out "--" in every god damn paragraph because GPT is obsessed with it. WE ARE FREE. 

 

Can you believe there's people that want to turn the ENTIRE INTERNET into that? 

EQD will once again be human run. And hopefully the internet doesn't look like what EQD did today in the next few years. I fear for it. Half of these reddit and Twitter accounts are already AI bots. It's kind of insane honestly. I knew my writing job future prospects were done, but I fear for the rest too!  Be aware of what these things are capable of. Hopefully this opened some eyeballs.

AI posts will return to warnings about new scams and the models people use to do them. Everything else will be human made. Assuming we can even filter it. I honestly wonder how many fanfics come in that aren't actually human written after spending all day with GPT. It has reaches a scary level when it comes to creative writing. 

If you want to help, commission an artist! And support companies that hire them! Your wallet has the power to at least temper what this might look like in 5 years. Only you can do something about it.

Now go fight the robots by channeling that human creativity!

Well, it looks like the robot uprising is over for now. I think we can make an exception for this one though. She's so cute! Evening, everyone. How was your April Fool's Day?

10 Reasons Why Trixie Should Absolutely Be the next Alicorn Princess

Ignore Trixie's Backwards crown! This painter was a moron and will never work in this empire again!

 

Greetings, my adoring public! It is I, The Great and Powerful Trixie—soon to be upgraded to Princess Trixie, if Celestia ever returns my letters (clearly lost in the mail again).

 

 Today, I graciously bestow upon you ten incredibly compelling reasons why granting me wings and ultimate magical authority is exactly what Equestria desperately needs. 

 

Pay no mind to any rumors about my supposed "lack of qualifications" or "questionable ideas." Trixie assures you that becoming an alicorn princess would benefit everypony immensely—especially Trixie herself.

Oh, um, hello again, everypony! It’s Fluttershy, back for another editorial about something that's very dear to my heart—pets!

Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #5067

Long ago, when Chrysalis was but a tiny, menacing foal, she developed the peculiar habit of biting everypony within range—my sister and I included. She claimed it was simply a "love taste-test," but personally, I suspect she enjoyed our startled reactions far more than any affection gained. Celestia still complains about a certain scar on her flank, though between us, I think it makes for an amusing story.

She never really grew out of it either... 

We deliver to you human art. View it below.

Royal Editorial: Why Palworld Hath Succeeded Where Pokémon Doth Stagnate

Verily, we dwell in an age most curious—where games once simple and sweet now twist and writhe into glorious chaos. Palworld, the so-called “Pokémon with guns,” hath stormed the gates of the gaming realm with gusto, innovation, and more moral ambiguity than a changeling tax accountant.

And I, Princess Luna, having spent a fortnight immersed in this pixelated pandemonium, doth now proclaim it thus: Palworld is the future, and Pokémon hath become but a charming relic of a more predictable age.

Continue below and learn why we hath forsaken Pokemon for the rest of time!
