Authenticity Over Aesthetics: Swapping My AI Avatar for the Real Me

My profile image has been my ideal look, or rather my D&D character Deodamnatus, who is essentially a David Bowie-worshipping Dhampir. Now I'm switching to a placeholder image: a screenshot of me on a day I looked more handsome than usual, with a simple gradient behind me.

Swapping Out AI-Generated Banner Art for Human-Made Art on the MoribundMurdoch X (Formerly Known as Twitter) Profile
I quite like a lot of AI art, especially when you spend ages tweaking it to get the perfect variation, but it often feels just a little soulless. Also, the people you usually have to pay for small AI-generated goodies don’t seem like the best sorts.
Funny enough, some artists can be a bit sketchy and might try to scam you too, but I think I’m more accustomed to the occasional bad apples among humans than I am to the robot crowd.
On balance, I tend to find myself loving the local AI whatnot and the artist humans who look for honest and maybe-ishly awesome remote work.
You’re free to use it, but if you’re chill, you should include an attribution for this pixel_paul guy.

Defining everything from neologisms to hyper-specific phrasings. We aggregate & promote other dictionary content i.e. we're in it for the love of the game not to quomodocunquize or whatever. We create & manage communities for dictionary writing like Lexical Soundtrack (pairing songs with dictionary entries), Sentence Miners (discussing our favorite example sentences for terms), we hire artists as much as possible to create whatnot like "Lexicographical Mood Reference Images" https://mordictionary.org/wiki/Lexicographical_Mood_Reference_Image (& try to use AI-generated images only as placeholders, because federated social media users would literally murder you if you used AI whatnot. Honestly, the founder of MorDictionary is more of a chaotic-neutral sort and a dictionary maximalist. I just want to maximize my dictionary knowledge by any means possible. I'm also not a big fan of copyright in general and am more of an attribution-only sort of dude. These opinions are limited to the founder, MoribundMurdoch, & not the MorDictionary organization itself btw.)

Brand Overhaul: MoribundMurdoch’s Twitter Makeover | November 2024
I'm changing this:
To this:
My Ratiocination - I know lots of people don’t understand 'philologer' and 'lexicographer,' and maybe I should remove those from my Twitter description—but I love the whatnot too much to let them go. 'Finitude fighter' probably needs an explanation, but it’s one of my nerd projects, so I’m keeping it. 'Closeted weeaboo/koreaboo' has potent humor potential, but for now, I’m switching it to the slightly more cringe 'low-key.' 'Gun nut' was a recent addition, though my true obsession is more with the M1911, not firearms in general. I mean, I appreciate all guns like I do all dogs, but I’m not as crazy for a Chihuahua as I am for a Labrador retriever. A polymer-frame handgun, for example, is quite disappointing compared to a steel-frame one.
We so lonely' was something my French friends would say when we were in China. It didn’t make much sense to me then, nor does it now—probably not to anyone else, either. I just found it humorous, which is why it was once in my Twitter bio.Love & Peace ❤️✌️' is a reference to Trigun, though the show isn’t even in my top 10 (even though I do love it)—so I’m taking that out as well.
