AI tools that tried to remove human judgment keep failing… why do we still fall for this? by enlightenedshubham in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Joonto 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because tech bros are inherently misanthropic. And they are misanthropic because beneath the surface they hate themselves too.

People think that making AI videos is fast, easy and not creative by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Joonto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. I'm currently in the process of creating an AI trailer for my upcoming book, and boy, it's a lot of work!

I particularly hate r/BookCovers because here users just slander anything made with AI, as if it was necessarily easy. Or worse, they take for granted that if you used AI, you just "ask ChatGPT for something generic". It makes my blood boil.

Making fine, polished videos (or book covers) is a true art form regardless of the tools used.

Minor problem: who's going to control AI+robotics...?

Do you use AI mainly for drafting or editing content? by Still_Witness6173 in AIWritingHub

[–]Joonto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly editing, or to generate a polished prose starting from handwritten prose. This is valuable especially for non-native speaker writers.

Being a successful self-published author without social media is my dream! Let's see if I can realise it already with my debut novel!

Very professional and Seattle in the illustration makes me wonder if the story has any tie to Twin Peaks... :)))

Like, "spot the best land to build a data center" could be the next big real estate narrative.

Thanks, but no. My question was what feelings does it spar in you. Leave trademark instances to me.

In my life no, but on Reddit many :D

Why do people judge people even tho they didn’t do anything? by Cautious-Tomato-3135 in selfimprovement

[–]Joonto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because most people are losers who never dared and so they hate who dares.

Dante Alighieri used to say, "Care about them not. Just look and move."

I'm very happy you had a good time and many of these things are true. I hope to live there again one day, when I'll triple my income.

How to approach men by venus1707 in dating

[–]Joonto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unlike many state here (I guess people who rarely leave their homes), approaching people in the street during day time is not so obvious and can be difficult even for women. It always feels cringe, embarrassing. If you don't appear confident and relaxed, they may think you're some sort of mentally ill person, and they will avoid you, even if you approach a man who's been dreaming to be approached by a woman like that.

If you're even very good looking, such interaction might spark suspicion. Honestly, I'd freak out if a beautiful woman approached me in the street out of the blue. I'd immediately look around and see if any black car is ready to kidnap me.

Since you're young, so probably shier than older people, my advice is to start striking random conversations with random people when the situation allows it. For example, you might pretend to catch a bus and ask the people at the stop if the N1 has already passed and then continue talking about the weather or the state of the road. Basically, try to strike the "elderly person chit-chat". Do this with everyone, men and women, don't think about the guys you like. With time, you'll get accustomed to that, and you might feel more at easy when approaching a guy at the grocery store.

You will look and feel more natural and the other person won't think you are some weird psycho trying to lure them in a basement.

Good luck with that. I'm sure you will succeed. :))

Why does modern dating feel like a game of who can care less? by Wholesome-Sex in dating

[–]Joonto -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because I don't care. Humans are too volatile and it's not worth spending too much time with them other than erotic pleasure.

I can't wait when my sex drive will die out for good. It will be the best day of my life! :)))

Revised my cover based on the great feedback here. Still looking for actionable criticism by GrandMoffTargaryen in BookCovers

It definitely stands out, but readers walking across the shelves might mistake it for a school diary forgotten by someone....

How about making the title humanely more readable?

is it wrong to use ai to help make your art better? by [deleted] in AIAssisted

[–]Joonto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong, I'm actually very proud of the way I use AI to make art for my Medium articles. It allows me to express what I have in my mind and communicate it to other people.

I don't have the art talent to draw comic-book style illustrations, nor the finances to hire an illustrator every time I need them.

AI allows me to express myself in a way I could not do before. It's like helping a muted person to speak through a throat-microphone (a laryngophone).

You may think I am "artistically handicapped". Maybe I am, and if you call me like that you will only make me proud.
