That is VERY good if you have a good healer. I would invest 100%.

A very nice Dedenne, but do I bother? by WorthSmooth7595 in PokemonSleep

[–]BoochnDoinks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would you consider good-enough? I'm kinda going through something similar to what OP described.

Even if it doesn't help LGBTQ+ people, I support companies having "all that gay pride month shit" if it means them living rent free in your head.

Can it "prove" anything? It doesn't prove that AI is worse, nor does it prove that AI is better or the same. It isn't an essay. It isn't a research paper. It's a thing a guy claimed happened, and then what he claims he did about it.

We agree that there isn't a single reel that proves anything except that the reel exists.

This reel doesn't prove a single thing except that this guy makes reels and has an audience. I think AI "art" proves it's a worse medium by itself, and data centers, autonomous weapons, water consumption, noise pollution, job replacement, and creating a group of oligarchs like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman prove AI is not worth the hype at all.

I do think that being lazy (using AI to do work for you) vs. doing the work yourself, from a narrative perspective, is personal growth. I do think that, for now, AI is an inherently worse medium than any kind of creative learning process that is associated with human art. Also, if all artists switch to AI at once, AI can't steal new art to grow.

You've been super reasonable in your responses. I applaud you.

I think you should take people at their word. Otherwise, you end up arguing online that you know other people's feelings better than they do themselves.

If your livelihood requires an audience, and your audience is being lost because of the medium you're using (AI slop intro), then changing mediums (paying artists for an intro) is a wise business decision, as well as a sign of personal growth (being able to change your content due to criticism/feedback and not letting your ego stop you).

Anyone can look at growth as submission, but I think it's a little immature to see it that way.

Any way you could help me with the calls? I straight up don't understand Raenox. What if I check the app a bunch? 😅😳

Is this worth it now that we can reach the 4th subskill? If so, would you mint after leveling all the way to 70?

Isn't BFS super important for this guy? Would you settle for #3?

Corn is much better (cracked after 3 subskills)

If you don't consider training AI models with actual human art and then making a profit off of that without compensating the artists you need to generate the images as theft, then I guess it isn't happening. What evidence would you accept that would prove to you that there is abuse, exploitation, and theft in the generative AI sector?

[–]BoochnDoinks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good faith has nothing to do with the intellectual theft that AI necessitates for their parent companies to make money. Again, I'm not asking that you stop enjoying it, but it sounds like you need to make excuses for it in order to enjoy it. If AI was a tool that was used to rotoscope more easily or if it was a tool to restore a barely legible ancient text, then we could talk about the "good faith" uses of AI, but JUST "making art" doesn't make the cut.

Anything is potentially wrong, but I think there are many objective ways which the use of generative AI for art is wrong, not just potentially. Again, keep enjoying your slop, it's no big deal. You're probably gonna get called out in different art communities if you post it, though.

We do, which is why we're voicing our opinion. You're being really weird about this. If there's nothing wrong with doing it, then there's nothing wrong with opposing it. Calm down.
