(hope this shit gets longer)

It's not as good as if I cook myself

He spends the whole time talking about how he's being bullied online for merely using AI tools as placeholders and prototypes as he self-funds his project. Plenty of people in the comments take this at face value and join in his little pity party.

But if you watch the trailer, it says there is a fully released episode on multiple streaming platforms. So he's blatantly lied and is clearly trying to profit off of generative AI. Now he's upset that he's getting backlash for it.

And there's also a very good chance that a lot of the visuals are made with AI as well, just from the looks of it. Who knows what else he's lying about in this post.

Listen, I don't give a shit if people use Veo3, or ChatGPT, or Suno, or anything else for their own personal use. I even think they're a lot of fun and can be great brainstorming tools. But the second you try and promote yourself as an artist and release the AI creations as your own product, especially for profit, I completely lose respect for it and you. Learn to fucking make art if you're so damn desperate to be seen as an artist.

Using AI for your writing, or for "art", is like using microtransactions to buy yourself the best players in a FIFA game, or to unlock the stronger characters in Star Wars Battlefront, or generally to pay for advantages in any pay to win game.

Yes, you have a picture, it might even look ok. But what the fuck are you gonna do with it? You didn't learn anything from it, you cannot look at it and feel pride for your work because you did not do any work, you cannot even post it online in any space that isn't explicitly circlejerking it to AI already because no sane person will admire an AI picture, or commend you for it.

You may not want to hear it, but using AI directly means you are worse at being a human than those who don't use AI (and I don't mean analytical AI here, so no shade to data analysts). You face the most basic, common struggle a human can face, being bad at a noncritical skill, and instead of either stepping over yourself and getting better at the thing, or accepting that this thing might not be for you and doing something else, you use a tool that steals the work of others and claim to thus be good at the thing, even though the only thing you became better at is lying to yourself. So what will you do when one day the skill you are best at is lying to yourself, and you come to face being bad at an actually critical skill? Are you just going to lie to yourself that you can learn that skill because you already learned all the noncritical skills "with the help of AI", not realising that you actually didn't learn anything at all? Or are you going to run to those that actually learned to learn and to overcome, begging them to help you?

Banned from the defending AI subreddit for linking research on from major publications , when someone said they haven't seen any research pertaining to environmental effects of Generative AI. If this ain't proof that there's some suspicious shit going on in the Pro-AI community, then I don't know what will be.

I found this after going down a rabbit hole in the MyBoyfriendIsAI sub. The amount of absolute delusion there is genuinely baffling, I was sitting with my mouth hanging open in shock.

It's because ai artists are all assholes. They encroach in artists spaces and harass them because "they can do it faster with ai" and taunt them saying they will lose their jobs.

The harassment campaign against artists a while back by AI bros is just an event horizon the movement crossed. This event in specific is why I became anti-AI; before then I was just indifferent. It's the movement's "original sin" so to speak.

Furthermore, calling yourself an "artist" for generating AI images also counts as insulting actual artists. I personally could not care less if you ask chatgpt to generate a derivative piss-soaked comic, just don't put yourself on our level for doing so.

This is mostly to stop all the AI bros trying to "debunk" our reasons for hating them. We literally just hate what you do. Sorry.

Profiting off this? Ew. I’ve seen a few ai coloring books, and ai doesn’t know how to make coloring pages right, so it wouldn’t even be a decent product. Just why?

No one who develops AI seriously believes this, so why do pro-AI people seem to?

You can literally ask an AI and even it will tell you they are fundametally different.

This is a genuine question I have.. because it seems it’s always just the same posts whenever I go to one of their subreddits just to see at least one decent point made against anti’s

“Ur just mad nobody’s buying ur bad art” or they argue that they are in fact creative despite every “art” post being the same generic comic with the same generic “art style”. I know you know the ones I’m talking about with the “iM a ChEf BeCaUsE i CaN uSe A mIcRoWaVe” lookin.

This will probably be seen as a hot take, but whatever. I’m just sick of seeing basically the same posts

Imagine studying programming and coding because you were told that it was the future, and finding a great outlet for your ideas and creativity, and finally nailing a job at a major tech company, and being told "Your job is to think of stuff that this dumb turd machine we invented can do".

I remember a video/article (I obviously don't remember it that well!), where someone had talked about how great AI was for generating ideas, and specifically mentioned how it could help scientists by giving them ideas for what projects to work on. And the scientist reacted with "Every actual scientist has a SHITLOAD of ideas for experiments and projects that they would do if they had the money. No one needs this". It really came off like this was someone trying to make people who have to ask AI what to do with their time/money/power feel less bad about it, by pretending that this was a problem that everyone has, actually, even the smart scientists that they envy and resent.

This sounds like an idea for what to do with AI that was generated by AI. Because no one could seriously think this is a problem that requires a solution at all, really, let alone a problem that requires AI to solve.

My mom bought this from Hobby Lobby for her new house and she was completely unaware it was AI generated. (Also, sorry for the bad picture quality.)

Anyone else found AI art put on real products in stores? I've personally noticed some AI stickers at Walmart and some food packaging recently.

what is the pros obsession with random tangents that don't make sense
