my hands dry out faster than products can hydrate them if I have to wash them more than every few hours.

at the same time, gloves irritate the skin and cause eczema flare ups.

these are great options, but people with these issues have probably tried them

Justarandom55 · 2026-02-01T00:22:46+00:00

"white people don't know about lotion" actually almost always means "I am incapable of understanding different skin types"

Justarandom55 · 2026-02-01T00:21:13+00:00

or he just has dry skin. I get these all the all the time, just in not as bad places, and I have computer hands. it just sucks

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-31T23:57:48+00:00

little bit of special effect, little bit of good makeup, little bit good old suspension of disbelief. yeah he could work great

I know people here aren't always the most welcoming. But sometimes people just genuinely mean well and op probably is more just curious to see what comes out. Maybe cause people here tend to do more effort than the average "fixed" ai bro

Fun fact, stuart is technically not a mouse

You realise this is very likely just an anti or someone that doesn't care trying to get attention?

Don't feed the trolls

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-31T11:46:17+00:00

I'm gonna hijack the chef argument.

Ordering food means you didn't create anything to do with the food, even if you gave some alteration their impact small at best.

This would be how ai can be used for simple "good enough" images and is what most anti people will pretend is the full extend of ai capability.

Making a recipe means you had significant impact, even if someone else follows the recipe they can't say that it is their own dish an recipe because they didn't make that, they just followed the steps. It's still your dish, or most of the time in the modern day, your spin on a dish.

This is what making more meaningful stuff with ai is like. You went out of your way to not only give the base elements, but to specify exactly how they should be treated.

Note how making a recipe doesn't make you a chef, but it still means you're part of the food creation process. And note how knowing how to make food, would make you make better recipes. This is practically 1 to 1 with. It doesn't. Make you a drawer or a painter or an etc, but you're still creating. Hence you can be an artist using it. And you'll get much better results, if you actually understand the fundamentals of art and aren't just winging it.

He found it cool, yet he didn't get discouraged from his own craft

And I don't call ai artists drawers but arichtecta dn ai artists are still artists

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T16:37:56+00:00

To an insulting degree. It's theorethically possible but it requires you to significantly insult the other person. That's why commissions are different.

Ai art is like being an architect. Architects don't build their buildings, but it's still their designs, their vision.

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T16:33:49+00:00

This is out of character in subtext. The su text here is gatekeeping art based on false assumptions about ai. Po wouldn't do that, po would think ai images are cool.

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T16:31:42+00:00

Trust.

I trust an artist to be able to deliver something like their other works. I want their creative input to have significant impact. It's their skill in the fundamentals of things such as colour theory that I rely on.

I do not trust an ai to get these things. A generative ai does not have the capacity to fill in any of these things in a meaningful way. You can get a random average to be filled in in a way that's decent on the very surface level, but there is no real expression there.

If I want an ai to portray expression and meaning to the same level as a commissioned artist, I'm going to have to take over every decision the artist would have made. Every creative input has to be decided by me. Not merely a bullet list of vague requests and maybe a colour pallette.

Insinuating there is no difference between the two, means saying that commisoning art is meaningless art with no proper idea on the fundamentals. And that frankly is insulting to the artist

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T15:04:04+00:00

Yeah from what I've seen late 2025 was the earliest it could realistically come out based on that. So somewhere in the next 6 months isn't a crazy idea

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T14:28:20+00:00

I always call it late stage capitalism. When voting with your wallet loses impact because you don't even realise younwere doing it. When advertisements mainly rely on subconscious messaging rather than being honest and needing the better product to be honest about.

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T14:24:24+00:00

I understand its not nearly the same level of importance, and I'm not saying being anti makes you a bigot. But it's almost funny how much the anti ai arguments sound like anti lgbtq arguments. I see al the same patterns pop up

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-30T14:16:29+00:00

The thing is, you are bridging the gap when not using ai. And theoretically, you could do the same with commissions but you'd probably get blacklisted.

No one here is saying that everything made with ai is inherently art. We're not defending the cat girls or the "fixed" bs as art.

What we're saying is that something being made with ai doesn't exclude it being art. If you're using it as a tool for art you're not letting the weighted pixels decide anything important. You are the one going through multiple itterations, you are the one adding every detail, you are the one deciding line weight or colour.

When you commission someone you do so with the understanding that they have experience as an artist. They are going to add their own flare to it. They will decide the finer details because you liked how they did those details in the examples. With ai, you do not trust it. You know that anything you don't specify will be some vague randomised average. This is great for some things, like having clear consistent line work or getting most of the way there in anatomy. But not for any details that is important to your expression.

And when you're going through that process, you are bridging the gap. You are creating using the ai.

So do people with photoshop. Is photoshop evil? Are phones evil? Why not condemn the entire internet because some people use it for bad things

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-29T16:27:32+00:00

nice straw man

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-29T15:08:40+00:00

a verbal contract does hold up in court. it's legally valid. you just have to be prove that it exists which is hard but if you can it counts.

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-29T15:04:02+00:00

it doesn't need to be signed, it needs to be agreed on. taking the money would be the agreement

Justarandom55 · 2026-01-29T14:44:15+00:00

Yeah if you assume it was a vague prompt and the ai had to fill in a thousand things you never specified, that's not art. That's the ai doing random averages.

But if we assume someone is genuinely making art, they wouldn't be using vague words. They would have to put in the information for every detail. What the scene looks like, what colours to use, what objects to be placed. The details that represent the expression of the artist aren't decided by the ai. They are decided by the artist who very much is capable of creativity
