I mean, my wife and I can get preeetty kinky, but I wager you're too young to understand what that means, lol

You sound mad. You deserve some joy. I had ChatGPT make a lizard with a rainbow jetpack for you. Hope you like it. ❤️

Clearly some, considering you responded, lol

Sounds like you need some whimsy in your life. I asked ChatGPT to make a cat with a jetpack for you. Thinking of you. ❤️

They said the same thing about all these other inventions, by the way.

Can't argue with that, lol

You see all these comments that fell for the clickbait? That's why, lol.

It would take roughly 100,000 ChatGPT prompts to equate the water usage of making a single hamburger patty.

ChatGPT works fine for me, lol. Then again, I know it's an attention-grabbing headline.

The real lesson is that the people complaining will never be happy because they're against these on principle.

Yeah, you don't know what it is, lol

Considering there are a TON of Pro-Palestinian activists who haven't been arrested and deported and given the Trump administration's racism, I'd wager that has more to do with that man's ethnicity and they're using "antisemetism" as an excuse. In which case, yes, that's bad.

You're deliberately misunderstanding what I'm saying, but sure, lol

...I'm really confused how else you think we should measure AI data and power usage without an AI program to measure the data and power usage. Unless, of course, you didn't come into this argument in good faith, and we all know that's not true of course, lol

I'm just saying, if all it took was people being against genocide to be called antisemitic, it surely would have happened to me. Unless it takes more than that?

Oh, well that's also good, lol

The literal canonical movie itself said she is a Skywalker. Anyone who says she's not has no argument other than "nuh-uh!"

You're in for a rude awakening, lol.

The whole concept of the franchise is honestly outdated.

Again, I don't think you realize exactly how devastating a state government getting completely disassembled really is. But I get it, it's not you that ever has to worry about it. It's just other people on the other side of the world, lol.

Also it's clear to me that you don't actually know what Stable Diffusion is, so I'll educate you. It's a program that is essentially locally-run AI. Once you run it on your computer, you can then go to your Task Manager and see how much CPU usage it takes to run. Spoiler alert: not a whole lot.

Also, I recommend you do research on the actual energy expenditure numbers rather than just reading articles. It would take roughly 100,000 ChatGPT prompts to equate the water usage needed to make a single hamburger patty.

Of course I cited an AI-generated program as a source. That's what we're talking about. Do you want me to cite a non-AI-generated program when talking about an AI-generated program? That's not how arguments work, lol
comment in response to

I don't think you know what happens when a state government collapses, lol
comment in response to

Maybe they shouldn't be antisemitic then?
comment in response to
post
Funny, I don't support genocide and I haven't been called antisemitic. I wonder why they have?
comment in response to
post
Okay, that I more agree with.
comment in response to
post
No one is calling people antisemitic for criticizing the Israeli government's actions. People are calling people antisemitic for setting random Jewish people on fire in Boulder or saying "Free Palestine!" on the comments of anyone on TikTok just showing their Jewish culture.

Millions of people currently live in Israel. If the state of Israel is disbanded, they'll have nowhere to go. If you have no plan for that or if you don't care: congratulations, that in itself is a genocidal mindset.

Are you seriously calling me a Nazi or Nazi-adjacent because I support AI? Okay, you do you, but that's a whole level of hate that you clearly need to unpackage within yourself. It's just a tool, calm down, lol.

Third, "soul" can't be quantified, but if a piece of art moves you regardless of how it's mad, I'd argue that counts. Fourth, it doesn't steal, it learns, same as human inspiration. Attempts to call it plagiarism have all failed in the courts. Educate yourself:

So many wrong things in one post, dang. First, it doesn't damage the environment, you can measure the energy output yourself by running Stable Diffusion locally, and it's no different than a standard video game. Second, all tech innovation makes people lose jobs, but it also makes others gain them.

Assuming you're talking about me, you don't have to just take my word for it. Ask anyone in professional media. And no, freelance artists on Twitter don't count, lol

Oh yeah, keep thinking it's cannablizing itself and AI will just go away, lol. THAT is the true cope.

Ah, thank you then, lol

That's how people work too. You think we get all our inspiration from nothing?

I'd argue the main people supporting AI are actual artists. It's already all over the professional art industries. It's a tool, not a replacement.

It's not plagiarism. It doesn't steal, it learns. Educate yourself:
