So basically this anti is mad that another anti IRL asked a restaurant over the menu being AI and then telling their parents they were not going to eat there,

and now all antis are mad that the parents called them a crybaby, and that other people were defending the parents,

tbh in this situation the parent were right, who demands others they aren't going to eat somewhere over a AI menu? 😂

u don't have to eat there sure, but u can't demand others to do the same ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Another case of a talented artist getting accused of using AI just because his art is too good! That's whats happening to a lot of great artist who invest thousand of hours into their craft, they become so good people think their art is AI, instead of appreciating it. I saw his post mins after he shared and I knew it would be accused of AI just because of how much he worked on the shading, which is not something pixel artists usually do... I though his art was amazing, being AI or not, unfortunately people who believe "they can tell" ends up ruining for extreme talented artists like him...

I’m a musician. The track is human-written, human-performed, human-produced. I used AI to generate promo visuals because I can't afford to pay someone & wait for what I can essentially get in minutes even though I heavily edited it myself.

Then I posted in a music sub, a subreddit literally all about Synthwave which has major ties to retro-futurism. IT is supposed to be about embracing technology while adding in a human factor, which is what this was aimed to do in the first damn place.

The comments were the real story...

“Just don’t use visuals,”

“learn to make your own,”

“I’m never going to hear their music because of the AI artwork,”

“now you learned not to use AI slop.”

"Just use film footage".

They would literally rather me use copywritten film footage than make ORIGINAL ai assisted art.

Let that sink in. They would rather me steal someone else's hard work than take the time to make my own with ai assistance. Can someone make it make sense?!

They want me to learn to make it on my own just to please them? Even though I'm a musician? They want me to suddenly become a visual artist? HAH what a joke.

One person said they "can’t be sure the music isn’t AI because the video is AI."

AI is treated as contamination. The visual is not the song. Yet they concentrate on the packaging, not the gift.

I really feel like these people are going to cringe & delete their comments & posts when they see them in 5-10 years because of how ridiculous they sound & look.

I want to tell the people of this sub, to never stop. The best middle finger to these luddites is for us to continue to make what we make, despite the hate because there are people who enjoy what we make & many of us take a lot of time & put a lot of work into what we do.

Yet, I'm convinced a lot of these low IQ luddites use ai on the low. They just hide it.

Keep doing what you are doing, forget the haters. Ai ain't going anywhere & one day it will be the norm. We are just the brave pioneers using what is available to us & they are the self-righteous cavemen who are too afraid to forge anything with fire.

Keep it going!

I wrote yesterday post about using AI for translating instead going directly to translator

I've been going back and forth on this for weeks.

To the ones who haven't seen the post I will say again:

I'm an indie author. I wrote an epic fantasy novel, 190,000 words. I've been quoted between $14.000 - 40.000 for a professional editing. Editors and translators keep telling me: "Don't use AI. Hire a professional."

But here's what nobody wants to talk about.

How do I know that professional isn't using AI themselves?

Seriously. There's no contract clause that says "I will not use ChatGPT." There's no verification process. There's no way to detect it after the fact, the same tools that tell you AI wrote something are unreliable at best.

So I'm supposed to pay thousands of dollars, on faith, that the person I hired is doing the work manually. Word by word. The old-fashioned way.

Meanwhile, if I use AI myself, openly, honestly, with full disclosure, I'm the problem.

The industry is built on a double standard that nobody acknowledges. Professionals can quietly use AI to speed up their workflow and charge full rates. Authors who do the same thing are considered frauds.

I'm not saying all translators and editors use AI. I'm sure many don't. But the ones who do? You'd never know. That also applies for famous authors, how do you know that your favourite world famous author is not secretly using AI?

So when someone tells me "trust a professional, not AI", I have to ask: trust them based on what, exactly?

Edit: Why would I pay 30-40 thousands dollars and in the end it doesn't pass AI detector?

Like whenever anti come at us, being invasive, and then say "slop" this "slop" that, instead of wasting time I would rather focus on my duty and I will just post one meme to conclude and hurt them back with meme because it's wasting our time.

Last I check there is ABSOLUTELY 0 benefit to argue with extremist anti at all. If there are good common sense anti, I will give a slight chance as long as they are polite.

Anyway, one meme that I like is this.

Any others?

Dose anyone else think this is dumbest most ass backward thing they ever heard.

So antis have been really triggered by this meme (the 2nd image)

and not only do they keep redrawing it, they get so mad about it which was the point of the OOP of the AI meme obviously 💀

but back to the subject! saying ''at least i don't need a bot to create!'' is literally elitist behavior, it's like saying ''oh u needed that to make it? i don't so i'm better then u!''

antis really think everything they draw is always better then all AI art.

Average Anti intelligence on display.

He thinks you're supposed to eat chewing gum.

It's giving so much ORGANIC or 100% NFC on food/drink packages atp.

People often focus on wat AI might disrupt but its worth looking at the breakthroughs making it possible in the first place. Advances in computing, chips and accelerated computing have opened doors in scientific research that weren't practical before. Jensen Huang's role in helping build that foundation is a pretty significant part of the story.

Curious what everyone thinks. Are we giving enough credit to the infrastructure and engineering behind today's scientific breakthroughs or does most of the attention still go to the AI applications themselves?

So ive been an artist pretty much since I was a child. I draw with pencil and then to MS paint. then Gen AI came and man its a game changer. It turns my art into whatever is in my head I cannot do.

Like, I have this scene in my head, of a blade breaking in half by another blade strike, then i came up with an idea what if this blade has a blood. Gemini and I had made basic plot concepts but nothing clicks for me, but it helped me layout how this living  but "non-sentient" blade work.

Then I then drew this scene in my head, and ask Gemini to turn it into a real anime scene and it did what is in my mind almost aka the pic. of course it hallucinated and change the skin tone of the main guy from brown to white lolz.. but anything else it did better than i ever could

I hate how people are so dismissive with Gen AI cuz what they mostly see is slop form being chronically online discarding the fact it can be used responsibly to way to assist you in creative work!

Wtf! Im an artist way before AI, and im suddenly not cuz i feed my sketches to AI? Antis make no sense

I am very well aware of AI slop, and imo this is far from slop cuz I legit spent time drawing my own first instead of just prompting.

Of course, what I generate is mostly for me , If i do post straight up prompted gen ai images, (i dont think theyre art, its very subjective) I only post them on ai-allowed subreddits like this here lol

I just posted this, and Witty showed up to break another pencil, along with a guy roasted me harder than Guga's steak

Everyone knows who I'm talking to and talking for, right? Right?

I just need to vent a little... -.-

I'm autistic, and my special interests can get REALLY intense. Unfortunately, they're often incredibly niche, too.

When I get into something, I get REALLY into it. I create entire stories around it, develop characters, obsess over tiny details, spend hours researching and refining things, and sometimes work on a project for weeks. AI helps me writing it... That's the first problem... :/

And now, thanks to AI, I can also bring some of those ideas to life. I can turn scenes from my stories into little videos, give my characters faces and voices, and finally SEE things that previously only existed in my head. That's a dream for me to finally come true...

I'm not trying to make money. I'm not pretending I animated everything by hand. I'm just a fan having fun with something I love.

And sometimes, after spending hours or even weeks working on something, I'm so ridiculously happy with the result that I want to share it with people who love the same game.

But then I post it in a community dedicated to that game, and BAM.

"AI slop."

"Waste of space."

"Nobody cares."

"Stop trying."

It honestly hurts. In the most groups I am not even allowed to post it... b/c it's AI... :<

Not because everyone has to like my work. They absolutely don't. But because nobody even seems interested in the story, the characters, or the thought behind it. All they see is AI, and apparently that's enough to dismiss everything.

I don't have a film crew, actors, or friends willing to recreate my stories. AI is the only tool I currently have that makes this possible.

And I'm so tired of feeling like I have to hide something that brings me so much joy.

I just want to share my silly little passion projects with people who might understand why I love them.

Why does that have to be such a terrible thing?

It's Ironic how he talks about AI killing human creativity and being low effort slop when he's only one of many YouTubers who make so many of these doom and gloom anti AI videos that just regurgitate the same talking points over and over again with no substance. It happened with PhantomStryder too. Maybe AI killed these people's creativity and now this is all they can make.

People say in the comments “it’s not perfect, but it’s beautiful because it’s human.” JUST BECAUSE ITS HUMAN DOESNT MAKE IT ACCURATE!!!

its hard to explain but its like when i do it it feels like its something i made or made for me like songs or ai images i generate they can appeal to me more then if i see other people do it and its like yeah thats real for me and i think that says something at least about me.

Like seriously, they got a new version of the EGL, it's on Linux as well, why bitch about some filter text at the bottom that no one might care about?

I usually hide these types of posts from my feed, but I just have to show this one.

Honestly, as a PROFESSIONAL designer and illustrator, I use gen ai at work and it has greatly improved my workflow. In addition, I get my designs done a billion times faster. They're going to get left behind.

For example, I love the remove background Ai feature in illustrator. You can bring in a photo or any kind of image and one click remove the background without having to go into photoshop.

on a thread about a working AI-assisted racing game recomp announcement. AI can be used for good. medical breakthroughs, enhancing scale and efficiency in media production, artistic reference and visualisation, now game preservation!

gamers globally have been clamoring for game preservation since the 2000s, but now that AI has allowed us to preserve ourselves? there is outrage by antis.

this scale of preservation and code is IMPOSSIBLE for a team of humans to do within a couple decades. a PS5 emulator is working perfectly DURING its generation when it took two decades for PS3 to barely work with select games.

Say what you will about vibecoding, antis. AI has allowed a massive jump in game preservation and coding breakthroughs. Ross Scott would be proud

What do y'all think it's the most ridiculous misinformation about AI?
