Keep fighting the good fight. If we can just be a little bit more elitist and haulier than thou I'm sure we'll make AI art go away.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh no, we made talentless duschebro sad by dissing his favourite slop creating forestburner. Whatever we will do

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Exactly. If you just insult people enough, they will surely chabge their mind!!!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We are not trying to change your mind. We are making fun of you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cool. I'll keep that in mind next time you cry about AI """stealing""" art and making artist redundant.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

That's why we're making fun of you

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If we're just a bit nice to those fascists they'll change their mind 😢

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ah yes, people that use a computer program to make pictures are fascists. Very intelligent take.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No wonder you like slop generators that can hold context of exactly one sentence this much. You basically are one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Isn't weird how all the fascists and Nazis push for AI? Does it make you hesitate or think a bit maybe?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you are trying to gate-keep the terms ‘art’ and ‘artist’ pretty hard-core.

i'm extremely anti fascist and this is not a true statement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No you're not lmao you voted for genociders.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

you don't know a fucking thing about who i voted for, you presumptuous little shit.

my voter registration got messed up so i never received a ballot. i was living in oregon at the time though, so it didn't matter. oregon voted solidly for kamala, which would have been my vote.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And hitler was a vegetarian, so I guess all vegetarians are fascists.

Also FYI, I've been arrested for physically assaulting neo nazis at a counter protes, so go fuck yourself keyboard warrior.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nah go fuck yourself. I can list all my accolades too but i don't need to do that. You techno-fascists are the same.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay, to be serious a minute, take your hand of the keyboard, look away from the screen for a second, take a deep breath and think for a moment to regain connection to the real world.

You realise you're calling someone a fascist, because they like to use a computer program to generate silly images for them.

Just kind of think on that for a second. I mean I know you won't and you'll just go back to throwing insults around again, but I'm still going to ask you to do it, just in case there is a reasonable person in there somewhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh fuck off. You threw insults first. Stop virtue signaling. If you care about anything human you'd understand what the issue with GAI and you would have a double or triple think about why fascists, Nazis, billionaires, and capitalists are pushing GAI HARD. But go on king, pretend you're better. You sound exactly like all the tech bros and techno-fuedalists.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You threw insults first.

Lmao? Really? You're trying to pull that? Look at the Original post again. Or even in terms of comments our first interaction is you calling me a fascist. But go on king, pretend you're better.

If you care about anything human

I do, Im actually pretty critical of AI, both the flood of AI slop on social media and the more pressing issues with the ethics of AI, hell I even did my 2 year term on the ethics board at my company. If you want to have an actual conversation with me about the ethics of AI instead of calling me a fascist, you would find we probably agree on quite a lot, not everything certainly, but a lot.

This whole argument is because I dont think being smug, condescending and insulting to people that use generative AI is going to do anything to make AI go away. And because Im not rabidly anti-AI you've shoehorned me into your black and white view of the issue and come to the conclusion that im 100% extremely pro-AI.

why fascists, Nazis, billionaires, and capitalists are pushing GAI HARD.

All of those people also push social media very hard. But its also a tool that lets leftist organise, allows communities to form and people to form friendships, and has enabled marginalised people to come together and make their lives better. Just because bad people support something and there are issues with it, does not mean its inherently bad, just like GenAI. I know disabled people that literally weeped with joy when I introduced them to generative AI because they could now turn ideas in their head into reality in ways they physically could not do before. I have a friend who is an aspiring game dev, thats been able to use AI generation to help him make assets for his game, where before he would have to devote years of his life to learning a new skill to make art of a similar level or spend money he simply doesnt have to have another artist do it for him. when I hang around with my nephew I can take a photo of him and make it into Marvel or Harry Potter style and see the utter joy that it brings him.

If you want to keep seeing this as a purely black and white issue, where you are the good guy and anyone who disagrees with you is a literal Nazi, then obviously nothing I can say will change your mind. But if you do legitimately see yourself as a rational and intelligent person, you will see that generative AI is not inherently bad, and that comics like the OP and the general trend of just insulting and belittling people that use AI, only serves to obfuscate the actual arguments and make people view the anti-AI crowd as a bunch of elitist luddites.

Yes, i am the mad one and keyboard warrior. Glad i wrote a wall of text. I should just input your junk into AI and get them to write me a response but i do have standards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay, since you're not even keeping up the pretence of pretending to argue in good faith anymore, I'll end this here.

Good luck in the future, I hope calling people fascists on the internet fixes all of your problem :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Calling fascists fascists has been great so far. Clearly working.

I'll give you a bit of my good faith. Look up wise crack's video on AI that came out recently, the one about the Ghibli art. That'll sum up my feelings well. I am not going to waste my time otherwise who wall of texts me pretending to be some champion of human rights and antifascist by supporting GAI

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sorry, bozo, facts don't care about your feelings. If you want people to be nice, be nice to them first.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I bet you can't recognise irony even if it hits you in the face. Which is actually did right now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And now the projection, lol.

But yeah, next time you cry about AI "stealing" something. I want you to remember "sorry bozo, facts don't care about your feelings"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You continue using words without having a slightest idea what they mean.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's an impressive streak you have here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's actually painfully to see your attempt at wit, so I'm gonna end this here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Congrats, you used a word correctly! You deserve an award of some sorts

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. The smug elitism about AI art is just stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Haulier, even.
