While it is wild to hear scribs getting angry, it is also valid to get angry. So long as you understand that some people's compass' may not always align with yours and that's ok. At the end of the day we just care for your well being.

Imma take a huge gambit for saying this but I trust we can all be civil for what I'm about to say:

I voted for Trump. That might come as a humongous surprise to a lot of you. I won't get into details for why I did that but just know that regardless of what side I'm on, were here for you Scribs! <3

I think there's a level where there's a good balance. Using AI is bad, but I don't think it'a good to ostracize people for using it and admitting it. Not because of any personal feelings, but from a rstional POV. The entire goal is to encourage or discourage certain behaviour. Ostracizing people who

admit to it (from the start) encourages people to hide it instead of just not doing it. They should still receive criticism, but not to the point where they can't come back. People doing it and being sneaky about it though is really bad. They had the intent to deceive people. They made their bed and

can lay in it. It's like with tracing. Tracing and being open about it isn't bad. If they forget to credit the originals they should be criticized, but not ostracized. Tracing art and passing it off as your own (especially for paid projects) though is another story.

I feel like people have just been constantly angry since the 2010s. There's now a black and white morality to everything and I see the same focused hostility over trivial things as I do to actual war crimes.

I just can't bear being angry all the time, it seems like a horrible way to live.

Nobody even wants to compromise any more.
Hell going by your post I'm sure AI could have benefits as a tool but neither is likely to ever side try and meet down the middle regarding acceptable uses and data acquisition alike. It's a shame that well is likely ruined now.

I think it's just a result of years of problems accumulating that so many had to deal with they are done with ignoring and rather have a clear stance on it.

I understand if you're not as angry over this, but it's just collective exhaustion and people want this madness to end.

Nah man the emotional call-and- response culture is why there's a fascist running my government. Being even keeled is a virtue.

It's good to be able to understand why people are angry about something, but beyond that I don't feel that anger is very productive. At best it's exactly what they want, people feeling angry and helpless and driving "engagement". And at worst it divides us at a time when we need to come together.

Like the whole Ghibli AI thing for example. I'm not a fan of it. I don’t have any personal interest in using it. As someone in the creative field inside and outside of this account, I totally understand the distaste. But seeing bonds broken over it kinda freaks me out.

Like saying "screw you" to the tech bros who are pouring their souls into this stuff, I get. But I also feel like I'm seeing a lot of anger-fueled posts essentially establishing 2 sides: good people who are against it, and bad people supporting it who should never be associated with again.

And I just can't bring myself to be pushed that far. I can't get angry enough to do that. I don't wanna be angry enough to do that. But is that a bad thing? I don’t wanna come across a apathetic towards causes i care about. But I also don't like... hating people.

solitaryscribbles.bsky.social•50 days ago

This isn't the only event I get this feeling with. Just the most recent. I don't like getting mad at people. I don't like telling people "stay away from this guy". (at least not over stuff that isn't, like, human rights related of course).

solitaryscribbles.bsky.social•50 days ago

But sometimes I feel bad if I'm not on the same "level" of disapproval as others. Like I don’t care enough or something.
And I would feel awful if it were to happen to me over some other type of cause that I might be on a different side of.

solitaryscribbles.bsky.social•50 days ago

I dunno. Maybe my anxiety is acting up again. Just something that was bothering me this morning. Please let me know if I'm wrong about any of this or whatever.

I swear I'll post fatties again soon.
