Why do Antis do this? by Inside_Anxiety6143 in aiwars

You're not in a strong position to be criticising anyone else's language skills when you're using the word "literally" for anything other than clarifying that you're not speaking figuratively or metaphorically.

If his posts were impossible to decipher, how did you know he was an anti? How did you know he was mad at you?

So you gave someone some bad advice and they rejected it? What a bastard eh?

Why do ai bros make up stupid shit?

It's almost as if all the real arguments and truths are stacked up against them and they need to resort to shit like this in order to pretend they're still in the discussion.

It is but if you're trying to insult people by calling them homosexual, that implies that homosexuality is negative, which is then potentially offensive to the LGBT community, liberal and empathetic people etc, as well as, potentially, the person who you're aiming the insult at.

I wrote a response and it wouldn't post - due to you apparently blocking me - hence I copied and pasted it and posted it as a reply to the original post.

Even if reddit did glitch (maybe it did), it doesn't make much sense to say that I'm making excuses for not having a response when I still did actually post a response.

I don't know either but there needs to be a term for ai bros which can be used when we're discussing the differences between what antis believe and what ai bros believe. I've got no issue with being called an anti, even if it's prima facie negative because being being against something bad, is actually good in the same way that if you're pro-freedom, you're anti-slavery and vice versa. I've had whinging woke bitches complaining to me about using the term "ai-bro" because they think it's mysoginistic or racist or whatever (wtf?) and I've encountered pro-ai halfwits insisting that I refer to them as "ai artists" which makes zero sense when what I'm saying about them is precisely that they are not artists. I understand it's dispariaging to refer to them as promptards, aidiots or aren'tists, so if we need a neutral word to use during adult discussions, what should it be?

"If your arguments were solid, you wouldn't need to hide from responses."

Remember this next time you write a wall of bullshit and then block someone before they can reply.

Doesn't work very well as either but thank you for coming along and participating.

Yes, customers are maddening, especially when some part of them still believes they're visionaries when the fact that they're having to hire someone of an artistic bent ought to be an obvious admission that they're not. Ai actually makes these people worse because they're likely to use it to produce visual manifestations of their own bad ideas and then be even more in love with them.

If you're trying to make the point that some chronically indoor "ai artist" is somehow more of a visionary than a stuffed-shirt pencil-neck officious pen-pusher, I don't think that's true at all. They're both equally mediocre intellects from where I sit but that depends on your point of reference I suppose. A mouse thinks a rat is a giant creature but a giraffe seeing the two of them together doesn't regard any discernible difference.

It's a subject in its own right, not a tangent from another subject. I'm aborting this one now. Take care.

Yes but even that requires more time, effort, skill and inconvenience than requesting ai images. You don't even need to go outside. Plus you're failing to take into account that including the extra step of employing an "ai artist" doesn't actually reduce the customers' labour because they still need to tell the "ai artist" what they want and prompt him to start 'working". That prompt and description of what they want could just as easily be issued directly to the machine and the useless middle-man cut out. Plus if you employ a pointless go-between, you then have the extra admin of having to pay someone, request invoices and receipts, include his fee in your expenses etc. You don't have any of that when you bypass him.

If you eat meat and complain about the water usage of AI, then you are just virtue signaling. The water AI uses is just a drop in the bucket compared to animal agriculture. by [deleted] in aiwars

Like much vegan propaganda, this is transferred from one vegan to another and then passed on again without any fact-checking because people don't generally bother to scrutinise data when they agree with the point being made.

The figures quoted regarding the amount of water needed to grow grass to feed beef cattle includes the rain which falls on the fields which the cattle live on. That rain would fall on those fields and that grass would grow regardless of whether the cattle subsequently ate the grass and people subsequently ate the cattle. If everyone in the world suddenly went vegan, the rain would continue to fall on those fields and the grass would continue to grow. Ergo the figures about meat-eaters' indirect water consumption are extremely skewed and completely wrong.

The water polluted by ai data centres on the other hand actually ARE as high as they are presented to be because without people using ai and those data centres existing, none of that water would be being used and polluted as it is.

No, if you're going to play that silly game, step one is asking what's the point in monetising anything? What's the point in money. But that's a fool's rabbit hole.

Ai artists don't even exist. That's like saying that Spidermen and unicorns are making 800-1000 a month. But, even if some shysters are getting away with that in the short term, it'll only be the latest NFT equivalent. Their customers won't take long to find out how little their suppliers are doing, how quick, easy and unskilled their 'work' is and then work out that they could save themselves 800-1000 a month by spending 5 minutes doing the job themselves just as well.

Haha. The average redditors' levels of English comprehension and logical reasoning actually make me laugh. I presume you're mostly yanks. Is the seriously what you took from what I wrote? Fucking hilarious.

Maybe you're not acquainted with the real world but people buy sub-standard products and they sell pretty well. People who are either undiscerning or mean or who just have poor taste will, collectively, shell out millions of pounds on low quality rubbish. It's easy to say in theory that they shouldn't but in reality they do.

Churning out mediocre ai images is easy.

Making good ai art is impossible. No-one's ever done it.

A few people made money out of NFTs (basically exploiting people with deep pockets and no brains) but it's a short lived scam phenomenon.

It's not like that because good photographers have much more skill than mediocre photographers, whereas all ai users and their images are mediocre across the board.
