Heya, I'm Aud!

If I want my legacy to be one thing...
it would be that my choices made a net positive impact, no matter how small.

In a world that breeds so many negative outcomes...
I want to spend my live undoing even a fraction of that.

Even if we can't change the whole world,
we can change the worlds of others.

General Personality?
Big 5 Test - See Result History
I'm VERY anti generative-ai.
Reasons include, but are not limited to:
● environmental impacts
● copyright infringement / issues of consent
● brain developmental harms
● deepfakes
● etc. (all of which negate the positives, in my eyes)

Put my artwork or likeness into gen-ai without my consent, all while knowing where I stand, and you'll make a clear enemy out of me.

Other things I stand by:
● The importance of human-made art
● Equality of all people. People shouldn't be discriminated or demonized due to race, queerness, neuro-divergence, social status, etc.
● Nature and giving back to the planet we live on to make up for what was taken.
● Proper education on consent in society
● Better parenting, and getting little kids away from technologies that are addictive and harmful to their development.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Some of my pet peeves:
● Low effort messages (I'd rather receive late messages over generic, half-baked ones)
● Constant use of socially scripted conversation starters (ex: "hi" "how are you?" "what are you doing?" etc.)
● Insincere / performative apologies
● Social immaturity (ex: slang use every 5 seconds, being unwilling to hold a normal conversation, etc.)
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Something of note:
I tend to get anxiety around the future and starting things. This often comes up as overwhelm / preemptive drops in energy around the idea of doing certain tasks or engaging in certain conversations.
Forgive me in advance if, as a result, I don't respond to messages or fulfill requests in a timely manner.
