I understand what you mean but I feel like it almost comes more from a place of them being too afraid to commit to a wrong choice. Why not just skip that entire ordeal and just ask them at the onset in that case? Or alternatively, as I said, just pick one option so I don't have to wait for you to awkwardly stumble through multiple variants and then I'll correct you.

Return to monke

I'm referring to that bit where someone is speaking an unfamiliar person's name and they go like, "John Smit? Samite? Samith? Seemith?" They awkwardly try different variations before apologizing in advance. Stop being so afraid. Just pick one pronunciation and stick with it confidently. No one is going to be offended if you say their name wrong for the first time, and they'll just correct you if needed.

Dark Brandon is so funny

This is kinda creepy.

I mean they've also just made better regular Sonic games than Sonic Team too.

I don't drink coffee period, but black drinks seem cool. They actually like coffee and want the unadulterated taste. It also helps reduce complexity in life, since you can always just order a black
coffee. So simple and streamlined.

I got a bidet a few years ago and I still can't believe I lived life without it, thinking everything was perfectly fine. The classic poop on your hand argument is so sound, and yet I lived most of my life accepting paper as the only tool, and having an itchy ass. Now, whenever I have to use a non-bidet toilet at work or otherwise outside the home, it's a miserable experience.

No water? Taking picture during the meal? Da fuck... Fair, next.

Yes, because AI is a computer program made specifically to scrape data and use only that data to form an image based on input from a user. It cannot be inspired; it has no creativity; it cannot make an influenced piece of art its own, because it makes nothing of its own, only what it is told to make. Computers have no life experience to pull from.

Humans are creatures of actual inspiration and creativity. We are influenced by things, but we make those influences into something that speaks to our own experience, aesthetic, etc.

The "humans do it too" argument requires a toxically cynical view of the human mind/spirit.

I get what you mean but I don't see what inspired has to do with it really. You can say it's without passion but that doesnt make it theft.

You're selling your talent and hard work being able to translate one piece of art into something else. AI Art doesn't exist without thousands of people's input just so someone who thinks they're an artist can get their ideas into tangible form.

Having an idea and letting something else make it for you doesn't make you an artist. AI Art exists on the backs of thousands of people's hard work and they didn't get a say in any of it.

Think of AI Art as the commision process, you want Bugs Bunny as Mona Lisa but instead of paying an artist whose work you like to do it for you, you get AI to do it. That artist just lost out on a potential customer, and that can scale up. Companies can commission AI Art faster, and significantly cheaper to get their ideas out on paper and the people responsible for AI Art being functional in the first place get nothing.

I agree and I don't think using AI to make art makes you an artist, and it's cringe if you claim yourself as an AI artist. However if I just want a funny bugs bunny picture for my own use, I don't think there's anything wrong with using an AI vs paying a person. If the AI didn't exist, I probably wouldn't ever commission it anyway, so it's a moot point that they're losing out on money. Any artist who gets a commission is taking a customer away from another artist anyway, so I don't really buy that argument.

The entire history of human art and media is built on all that came before. A computer looking at art to make a novel piece of art isnt stealing imo.

It sounds like C_Pain is a believer.

Well I go a step beyond. Global warming being fake is in itself a fake movement designed by the nwo to trick OPs parents to not reduce their emissions, thereby hastening the process to they can get into their orbital bunkers quickers.

Can you prove they're wrong?

There are also prompts created to mimic other actual artists as well. This goes beyond just "creating". There is a difference between being inspired by an artist and straight doing the equivalent of a Chinese bootleg in picture form.

I'm sure there are scores of human made art made to replicate the styles ofnfamous artists though. I don't think an artist owns a style really. It's only a bootleg if you present the AI art as a genuine piece as a work by that artist.

Humans bring their own perspective into it, they can see one piece of art and get inspired and make something unique. Humans can learn and observe and grow and have their perspective change.

AI Art is just fancy auto-complete, and AI Training is giving it a bigger pool to pull from. And again the issue is people's work are being taken to build these databases, charging money for it in some cases, and the artists aren't being compensated.

So it's more about the use in training vs the 'stealing'? Some humans artists also make purely derivivate works too though.

Calling it auto complete seems too simplistic when it's using aspects of 1000 works to create a novel work. If I draw a Mona Lisa inspired work and people buy it, should I have to compensate da Vinci's estate?

It's like cutting art up and putting it back together kinda

But I thought you don't really see the original images on AI art. Like it could be a figure that a human made, but redrawn from a new angle so it's new art imo.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Yeah I agree. Just because AI is explicitly processing the images as a computer, is that so different from our brains looking and being inspired by works?

I've read a few articles but I'm having trouble understanding the argument. My understanding, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that image generation bots scrape thousands of pieces of art online and then use it to make their pieces based on other art. Isn't the actual output a novel work though, just based on the style and other elements from works? Isn't all art derivative of other works at the end of the day? Or is it equivalent to say tracing?

WTF I love taco bell and this is the first in hearing of this. That's wild. I'm hyped.

I have Twitter and reddit blocked on my phone so it's ableist actually

Wtf is that? That can't be safe.

I guess what Im asking is, when you guys talk about how the Rock is awful are you talking about the actual guy or the fictional version of himself he plays?

That's the thing about wrestling, and why it's so cool: it exists in multiple levels of reality. One could dislike Rock because of the character he is portraying, but then you could also dislike him because despite the character being portrayed as good, it ruins the story of another character you enjoyed. Beyond that, since the rock has backstage power, you could dislike him in real life. This hatred could mean you want him to get beat up, meaning the real life heat translated back into the kayfabe story.

Yeah, it's kinda weird that it's so common in the US even among parents who aren't particularly religious. It's just considered the norm when it's quite fucked up.

I have a trifold with space for 6 cards and an ID slot. I've sometimes wondered what a ridge breath would be like.

damn, I can finally unmute that karma-bait cringe until the next one.

When I used to browse reddit more and I would see those posts, I always thought it was so uninteresting.

This take is so close minded to me. The majority of the new slang is funny to me since it's without context/sounds so foreign, and I enjoy the linguistic evolution of each generation. Some of them are fun to say too, you should try using no cap unironically. It's a hoot!

I don't actually want to be around it but it looks cool.

Lmao, this topic

My understanding is that only a minority of UK citizens actually give a toss about them (in a positive way). Same as the US tbh.

Aside from a basic greeting and confirmation of identity/where you're going.

Wow, nice. The mario didn't look right so I thought it must not be an actual Mario game. That Pokmon one is tricky. Not rly sure what I'm looking at.

Lmao, I couldn't tell if the media outrage was part of the bit, but that unhinged tweet certainly seems real. It legit feels like a storyline from Curb your enthusiasm.

That's mostly because AI is being used for the wrong ends.

True that. Boob lovers don't need a general topic to reassure themselves preference is the correct one unlike those into ass or feet.

How is it used for reassurance? It's literally just a place to enjoy that thing.

Also there was an attempted boob general recently but half the posts were trolling. Almost like it wasn't meant to be. Curious.

Patrick is delighted to do that though, and would likely consider it living life to it's fullest.

And people wanna shit on AI.
