The Wonderfully Strange

Project Sekai Colorful Stage! - Video Game Growing up, I have always had a passion for music. One of the earliest memories I have is when I was singing songs with my older brother. To rock down to country, I really did not mind anything. But one day, when I was around 9, I was staying over at my Dad's for break, and he let me borrow his old iPhone for the time being. At the time, I was just watching toy unboxing and Minecraft videos, the usual for me. However, I got a video recommendation under one of the videos I was watching, and it was of a 3D anime girl with long teal hair, and I instantly fell in love with her voice. Thus, that began my downward spiral with Vocaloid as a whole.  Vocaloid  technology is a voice bank that is recordings of human voices, using which you can create songs just by inputting lyrics and a melody.

 As everyone knows, Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system that has been around for 2 decades. Many games have been made and played, most being for children and or "brainrot" if you will. But what if there was a game on Roblox that challenges those popular games? A game that explores religion, self-doubt, and how hard you can concentrate without dying? Well, yes, there is! And that game is called Grace.                                                                    Grace    — The Faltering Few Grace is a Roblox game that focuses on movement and speed to get from point A to point B. And when I say speed, I mean it; the game is really fast-paced. Not only that, but you also have to deal with entities that reflect your sins (the character you're playing as) after every safe room you...

 I recently read an article from  The Verge  about a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States regarding whether AI-generated art can be copyrighted. It explains that the Court declined to hear a case arguing that any artwork created entirely by artificial intelligence should receive copyright protection (which is blasphemy). Because this happened, copyright law requires a human creator for a work to be protected. The report presents the legal outcome and explains why the case was important for the future of AI-generated content.                                                                         Purple    —  By me As someone active in the art community, I find it truly upsetting to witness AI becoming the norm. How can people in power decide to punish others whose ha...
