Every artist complaining about AI art is like John Henry.

If AI is stealing because it’s using art in it’s learning algorithm, then so is every artist who has studied other artists for inspiration. AI just happens to do it a hell of a lot faster, kind of like how all technology does when it replaces any other form of labor. And while AI art can’t compete with the top 0.1% of artists, it can certainly compete with the bottom 99.9%, and it can produce thousands of images in the time it takes an artist to produce 1, which is plenty good enough for most applications.

No. AI art isn’t going anywhere. It’s too convenient and we’re not going to reverse course just to save jobs, something we have never done in the advancement of technology. No one stopped the steam engine driving railroad spikes because they wanted John Henry to keep his job. No one stopped the printing press because they were concerned about scribes. No one stopped the DVD because they were worried about what VRC repair men would do afterwards.

AI art is a tool, and it’s here to stay. Adapt or fall victim to the progress of technology. “AI art is sTEaLiNg” is some desperate nonsense that I think even those making it know deep down is BS. It’s the only argument being made because all the technical ones about quality, speed, and availability have quickly fallen flat. AI art is higher quality, faster, and more accessible to users than regular art and it’s not even a question. So all they have left is “it’s theft!” while conveninetly ignoring that it’s the same fucking thing they did to learn art, just in a much faster, more optimized way.

“If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” Artists are firmly in the table pounding stage.

Yes.

What? You were expecting me to give a shit about what happens to my comments on a public forum?

A bot post, and one that just seems to want to spread shit.

But in case anyone was wondering, NVDA is the stock she most recently bought.

Wanting animals to live in peace is infantile and delusional. You want animals to live in peace? Ok, go ahead and fundamentally change nature, because animals certainly don’t live in peace in nature. It’s violent, brutal, and full of suffering.

I advocate to reduce animal suffering by human hands, but it’s shit like this that turns me against vegans. Too many idiotic children thinking that if we just stop using animal products, animals will all just live in some fucking Disney fantasy. You know, instead of constantly living on a knife’s edge of famine, injury, disease, and predators.

How about we at least be realistic?

Find me the source for ANY human right.

Again, from the last time this was reposted, none of these are wishes.

Actually that is a human right. Countries are free to ally with whatever country they want pending any previous agreements. Eastern European countries made zero promises and had zero obligation to not join NATO. Russia doesn’t have fucking “dibs” on them, just like the US doesn’t have “dibs” on Canada or Mexico. I wouldn’t have a problem with Mexico or Canada willfully joining an alliance with China because that is, in fact, their right to do so. And it would speak volumes to how far relations would have had to deteriorate between them and the US to get there, but that is their right to do so. Maybe if Russia wasn’t such a shitty, untrustworthy neighbor, more countries would be willing to ally with them instead of NATO, but hey, that’s Russia’s problem.

Why should the expansion of NATO past Germany not have happened? No one forces countries to join NATO, they all willfully joined, often having to jump through several hoops to do so.

Tbf, we should still be laughing at Columbus. He didn’t prove the Earth was round, we knew that already. He died believing he had “discovered” India. That and he was a racist, baby killing, monster that inflicted such barbaric actions towards the Native Americans that even members of his own crew were like “Whoa there. They might be godless savages, but this is really fucked up. What the fuck is wrong with you?”

Is this referring to Bolivia? Because that was almost definitely orchestrated by the current Bolivian president for political points and had nothing to do with the CIA.

Ooh, hadn’t heard about this. Kingdom 1 & 2 were great! Really good example of games doing more with less.

I turned my nose up when it was first suggested to me, but as a fellow poor, AI therapists have helped a lot. Sometimes all you really need are some words of affirmation and reframing of your thoughts. Helped me a lot more than I thought it would.

Michelle Obama is the only one I can think of.

If you haven’t tried oven-roasted brussel sprouts, you’ve probably been getting badly cooked ones. There’s really only 2 ways to cook brussel sprouts; roasted or incorrectly.

Truly wonderful place.

Doubt.

EDIT: Golly gee, how could I possibly dismiss the wonder of the swamp city filled with mosquitoes, crumbling infrastructure, poverty, and racism? Truly a magical place that anyone would be lucky to visit /s

It’s time for a new amendment. It’s the only way things will actually change.

And that judge will retire to his villa where his children and grandchildren will constantly visit. There will be no talk of politics, or the issues of the world. The man has his bubble and will never see the consequences of his actions.

Yea but most of human civilization didn’t have easy access to futa porn, so it’s not like they had anything better to do with their time.

We are no where near close to running out of nuclear material. And for its energy density, we are unlikely to run out anytime in the next 10000 years. It can also be found in asteroids or other rocky bodies, so unlike wood or fossil fuels, Earth isn’t the only place to get it.

The problem is not any blue will do. I can see them ignorantly pushing Harris. Hell, I can see their out of touch asses trying to push H. Clinton again. Democrats are pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

People have been talking about Newsom, or Booker, or even Warren. And… Well maybe, but even they don’t seem popular enough to take on Trump.

I can think of like one person in the whole country that could unite the base, Michelle Obama. Unfortunately, she appears to have zero interest in running, and who can blame her?
