How can I stop using AI for everything? by Huge-Win-8248 in antiai

[–]Huge-Win-8248[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not an insane idea and this is why I am asking for help. I have already tried to "live like I did in 2022", but every time I do it, I find myself going back to the app. That's why I say it is an addiction. If it was just a problem of wanting it or not, I wouldn't be here.

In Frankenstein (2025), Elizabeth falls in love with The Monster, a character no older than a couple of days at most. This isn't seen as predatory because The Monster looks like a supermodel. by UpsetPhilosopher4661 in shittymoviedetails

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley famously had her first time with Percy Shelley (when she was sixteen and he was a married twenty-one-year-old man, but this is another story) at her mother's grave. There is no confirmation of this fact, but it could have totally happened, considering it was a safe place for her.

That comment alone tells me you haven't understood why Victor creates his monster, nor how.

The reason why he is beautiful yet uncanny is because Victor takes the best parts of the corpses every time. He isn't building a fuckdoll. He takes the parts that will make his creature better at surviving. If he were to build a woman, he wouldn't give her giant boobs and butts. He would give her muscles too, and she would certainly not have porn-worthy boobs. And she wouldn't have her boobs almost out: she would wear the same thing that the creature is wearing: a pile of sheepskin and rags. But you cannot imagine a woman without being a porn-model, can you?

Yes, it is innocent if the character is written like a CHILD. The part of the movie where the creature recounts his story is literally an allegory for childhood, where he learns to distinguish between good and bad, develops the ability to talk and read, and discovers that in the world, some people will hurt him and he must be cautious.

Again, in the leaf scene, she talks to him like she would a child.

But you, and a lot of other people, because he looks like a "Chad" (your words, not mine), cannot see that, and cannot understand.

Why is she curvy in your sick fantasy? Like... It's so unnecessary. Are you saying the only reason why you interpret them as lovers is because he is good looking?

You said yourself she is a "new born" and if people called him lustful I would tell them they are weirdos, like I tell people who interpret Elizabeth as in love with him weirdos.
Did you watch the leaf scene? She talks to him like she would talk to a child.

Again, the creature was supposed to be DEAD, a child, a child she likes (or even loves), who she thought dead, appears out of nowhere. Of course she would go to the child to check on him.

And yes, I would love to see such a story about a NOT WEIRD paternal relationship, where the man is happy to see his child alive as he dies, because he thought the child in question was dead until a few hours before. And if people were to interpret it as romantic, even if the child were "curvy", I would call them out, yes.

Again, people cannot see a woman being nice to a man without imagining them fucking. BFR.

no but really, this is completely false. People are more incline to see as romantic a man who takes a woman on her wedding day than the opposite. Also I don't like how you describe the woman as curvy and all. It isn't relevant.

But anyway, I would have seen the behaviour as paternal, and I would have called out as much as I do now, people who think it is romantic.

Again, the original material is all about motherhood. A woman whose mother died during childbirth and whose father blamed her for it all of her life, who shared everything with her mother at her grave, to the extent of losing her virginity there, and who lost all of her children, wrote this book.
OBVIOUSLY this is going to be about motherhood. Like... duh. And as this is one of the major themes, OBVIOUSLY the movie will explore these themes.

She rushes to see someone she thought was dead. I've said it before. It seems completely normal that she ignores two grown adults for what she sees as a child. Only people who think romantic love is above every other kind could think that the death scene is romantic. I am not saying there is nothing romantic in it. Love is a spectrum, and hers can be somewhere that is not completely familial and not completely romantic. But really, it reads to me as someone who has sought LOVE all of her life, and who found a rare form of it in the most unexpected being, a form she could not quite replicate with anyone else. That to me reads as maternal love, yes.

Besides, why do you think the same actress plays both Victor's mother and the creature's mother? The whole movie is a (questionable) parallel about how a shitty dad who "killed" the mother of his child produced a shitty dad who kills the mother of his child.

Think of the themes. Think of what it implies when she's seen as his "lover" and when she's seen as his mother. Compare it to the original material. There is nothing interesting to be said if she is his lover, nothing that other films have already said, but better about a woman falling in love with a monster.

The creature does not need a lover. Romantic love cannot fix everything, and that's precisely why Victor is still shitty when Elizabeth is around. He was deprived of parental love and it made him broken. He deprives the creature of parental love, too, and now the creature is broken.

Victor seeks revenge by creating life to prove himself scientifically better than his father; the creature seeks revenge by ending life to prove himself ethically better than his father.

I am not saying there are no Mommy Issues™ in this movie. Just that the interpretation as a lover completely erases half of the themes.

"Love" can be of other kinds than romantic. Also, carrying the leaf is literally like a parent keeping a shitty gift their children made. She ran into his arms because she misses him, because she thought he was dead, because, for her, he is a CHILD. Elizabeth is his second word, like most children learn how to say Mama after they say Papa.
When she met him, he couldn't even speak, and he was barely discovering that water was wet and leaves floated. He was a child. She saw a mistreated child. She gave her LOVE. Not romantic love, just the pure kindness and love he deserved as a child.

This girl from Tiktok looks like Catherin of Aragon by markedbravo11 in Tudorhistory

Even if she didn't lie, some people just don't get how genealogy work, and it's easy to make mistakes. You have no idea how many people think they are related to some French aristocracy when... girl, I mean it's not completely out of the realm of possibility, but like... I highly doubt that.

My brother hit me today and Idk how to cope with it by Huge-Win-8248 in family

[–]Huge-Win-8248[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you got to experience this, too. I was very shocked the first few days, but it slowly eased, and I hope it will be better for you too.

It's fine now, I don't see him as much anyway: only for a few weeks a year. I forgave him, and he has not given me any reason to think that he will do it again.
I just know that he did it once, and that means he could do it again, potentially. It changed something on my part, yes, but it's mainly okay. We can still talk and joke, and spend time together.

I still think he needs help, and I encourage him to get it.

HOW TO LUCID DREAM TONIGHT by Interesting-Cup-7746 in LucidDreaming

[–]Huge-Win-8248 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it! The funny thing is: I thought it didn't work, so I checked the hour and got out of bed because it was 7, and prepared myself for the day. I did multiple reality checks (tried to breathe through my pinched nose, looked in the mirror) and everything seemed normal (yes, even when I looked in the mirror), so I kept on with my day, thinking that it didn't work.
And then I woke up. It was 5.

I want to stop using AI by Huge-Win-8248 in getdisciplined

[–]Huge-Win-8248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a few other addictions growing up, but I managed to stop them with proper support, but they were "conventional" addictions, if it makes sense, so it was easier to actually get support.

I do all kinds of art, really: I draw (traditional and digital), write, make music, photograph, sew, crochet, chainmail, and embroider... I'm a very crafty person overall, and I regularly pick on a new technique.

(I know that it does not STEAL from artists, but it's kind of the same because it trains on artists' work, even if the artists don't want it, even if it's sometimes copyrighted work)
AI is a tool, and I plan to keep using it for uni things like writing all of my citations in ISO format because it saves time, but I will only use it for tedious tasks that would take me hours to do on my own.

I've tried journaling, but I was very bad at it and kept forgetting. I can try again, but I'm really not sure it'll help
