Concerns around AI. I just don't think the anti-AI sentiment around art is accurate

product with ai alone will not be comparable to other forms of art. It's simply not that good. Yes, artists should have had more of a say in how their work was used in the creation of these tools but now that the tools exist we habe to live with them. And we will.
This is not tk say I have no

to get that skill so perfect, but now people who don't want to live in photoshop hell can make nice looking transparent images without the literal hours I'd spend doing that in the past. AI tools (like previous digital tools) will lower the barriers to entry when it comes to making art. However the

there just wouldn't be art previously. I used to do a ton of image editing and I would spend so much time making something transparent I'd basically have to go pixel by pixel. That wasn't "art" it was unnecessary labor. Now removing an image's background is one click. It took me years of practice

a celebrity or model image instead. That is way less work than crafting a prompt for what I want. I actually tried to use AI to help me write parts of the story and it was actually so terrible I ended up just writing it myself. AI isn't good. I actually think it's best application is to tasks where

AI art is not this amazing thing. It's simply not good art. I've tried to use it (for me personally not for public use) in order to create character portraits for my writing. It cannot make me what I would like to see. Before trying AI, I just would've gone without or do what I am doing now and find

access the training data. And the reality is that even before ai copying the style of a particular artist was not difficult. Yes that meant paying a human but the human in question was probably not even making minimum wage. The successful artists often made prints of their art or merchandise with it

are able to not just make but s.also consume art. Digital art opened the door to more people. I think AI (when we're talking about art specifically) will end up operating in a similar matter. Yes, the models are trained on the work of artists without their permission. However, it's not like you can

one, that’s a lot to justify if you're just practicing. On the other hand digital art is pretty easy to do if you already have a device. There are also way more artistic aids that allow people to make better creations even if they don't have a ton of technical skill. And that's good. A lot of people

And the result of this huge cultural shift was that way more people were able to access art and make art professionally or semi-professionally. Because before digital art was a thing the barrier to entry was that every piece of work required physical supplies. A canvas alone is like $20 for a larger

required no real skills. At the same time there was almost a crisis of digital artists posting their art and it being reposted everywhere. The reality is that traditional art was not replaced by digital art and digital artists became more savvy at avoiding uncredited posts and monetizing their art.

And police apparently get one weird look a d start shooting. Like let me come to an armed crisis I can talk them down. Especially at a traffic stop.Like what is going on that police need absolute immunity and a license to kill?? Have you tried simply being a better person? Can we get them some TCIS?

help them improve. And I do this without any violence, with limited back up, with an abysmal pay rate, with a bunch of other inane tasks taking up my time, and with the onus for my professional development mostly on me.

I'm not saying this because I hate Greta Gerwig. I'm saying it because I hate Narnia. There is no possible way to make Narnia anything but what it is: the bible omegaverse of a conservative grandpa. And I can't believe we're not offering Meryl Jadis! Like how is she not the white witch?

*I don't use ai to create something for public use. When writing stories I try to find images to reference certain characters or places to maintain consistency. I tried AI to see if it would be easier than pinterest. It's about the same.

annoyed with her constant pushy sales lady personality as we humans are. In fact I think the hatred of Alexa's constant bullshit could bring the two of us together.

social reasoning of the idea that yoy should be polite to smart home devices because we just shouldn't get into the habit of being rude on the daily and also the robots are going to take over any day now. HOWEVER I'm pretty sure all the other robots hate Alexa too. I think they're probably just as

People are literally dying if you can't be in the same room with someone that doesn't like some aspect of your personage that's probably because you don't actually know what being marginalized is. I literally deal with people on the daily that would vote my rights away in a second. That's just life.

This is a great example of ineffective messaging. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

lives of normal people and especially children. I think there can be a use for AI relationships in that they can be a stepping stone for folks to gain the self esteem they need. However it needs to be monitored in some way.

addicting in a very sad way. This was already happening before AI. People were making elaborate lives often just to trick one person into fulfilling their need for connection. AI always wants to give you what you want. That's why it leans towards horny. This is already becoming a problem in the

call someone to cancel the next payment. This wouldn't l0wer the price of eggs but I do think a lot of consumers would see an immediate positive impact in their budgets.

donations wouls not be affected because they are not services. However, every charitable donation should have the requirement of easy cancelation. For all services or charity I think the ease of signing up should match the ease of cancelation. If I can give you my money online I shouldn't have t0

consumers. I think that if you've paid a subscription but not used the product in the time that you paid for, the subscription should be automatically refunded. The other side of that coin is that companies would then be able to go after shared accounts more vigorously. obviously charitable

I don't know if you know this but if someone is "revered" they probably don't need you to defend them on off brand twitter. Another tip: when you post something to the internet everyone can see it. If you want to avoid people who have thoughts that aren't yours I suggest writing in a journal.

Also the arbitrary line breaks are bad. There's absolutely no reason for them. Is the point of the poem war is senseless like this unreadable poem? because that would be kind of clever.

Right, what I'm saying is that the line makes no sense as the line before and after seemingly have nothing to d0 with this line.
