Glowing Disciple

you have to preface things like this with disclaimers that you are not pro-ai for people incapable of critical thinking but: its so awesome how much people post about AI having no soul and lacking humanity and merely mimicking some sort of innate Humanness while failing to address or contend with the fact that a lot of people are seemingly making work indistinguishable from the statistical average spit up by a computer.

ppl could ABSOLUTELY churn out bland slop that's trying very hard to scan as though it's legit way before AI showed up, and i stopped trying to tell if things were AI generated and started just...thinking more about whatever i was looking at. exploring citations rather than just looking at them, thinking about what's being said and if disparate thoughts connect to each other, trying to engage with the substance of the work. if there was little to no substance, then i could move on, and i'm sure a significant chunk of that was AI, but more importantly, it wasn't worth my time.

i genuinely and unironically hope that this is an unintended but positive outcome in a post-AI world. that people abandon attempts to determine if something is AI or not and are instead forced to think "what is there to like about this and why do i like it?"

It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere

A news station was interviewing a man who lived near a dangerous intersection. It is known for an inordinate number of car crashes.

BALLS OF NONCHALANT STEEL

“See, now this is the kinda shit I’m talking about…”

Woah

Didn’t even lose his cigarette.

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'." A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face

seems like there's always drama about something

"AI art is stealing Studio Ghibli's work/art without compensation" boy wait until you find out who drew and animated all of those frames and who got paid most for the end result

liberals are all about "stolen labour" when it's an "intellectual property" being stolen from a company, but not so much when it's the proletariat's labour being stolen by companies. funny that huh

People who has experienced this kind of traumas (being raped, groomed or watch porn at a young age) have a terrible fantasy with taboo topics (Including me). A way to handle them is reading dark fanfictions but without romanticize them because that's WHAT WE DO. There are a lot of taboo writers who put as a note "Do not provide this types of actions in real life". That's because of something, doesn't it? If they say that it's because they don't want a real person to happend for that but they use FICTION as a way to deal their fantasies without use real illegal content.

I’ll try to clarify then: If someone is dealing with trauma, writing a story where the villain gets held accountable can be extremely powerful as a therapy tool.

I think it’s beautiful when what you loved doing when you were 6 finds you again when you’re in your 20s or 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s or 70s or 80s or 90s or
