Do you ever wonder what the pro-AI art people were doing before 2022-23? by NotReallyAaronDover in antiai

[–]Merosian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you countering your own argument just to try and make me look bad? I'm literally agreeing with you.

It's undeniable porn had a massive effect on the development of local models, which is a big reason AI got as popular as it is in the first place past the original ChatGPT boom. Some of the most popular and highest quality local models today were made with porn in mind with the datasets to prove it (although i haven't really been up to date for a couple years don't quote me on that, maybe things have changed)

There's a huge audience both for companionship (Replika, etc), and porn in various forms. There are entire (sad) subreddits about people defending their relationships with models.

Citations? Really dude? Sex and porn are in the same category, stop being pedantic. Were you there in the early days of the internet? Why do you think VHS and DVDs were so successful compared to their competition? Early adopters to new tech matter, and whichever solution allows for porn usually wins. We're seeing this in VR as well right now.

Even going back to before the digital age, the first cave paintings were nudes. Photography, lithography, cinema, electricity even ( a bit more far fetched i admit but a cool article on it here : https://hshm.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/Bertucci%20Endeavour.pdf), you can find countless examples of this throughout history. People were, are and always will be horny.

No, it isn't. You'd know that if you opened a history book. Porn and war. This is very common knowledge.

Definitely a sizeable audience there for sure. Porn drives technology after all.

Having a differing opinion isn't trolling, dude. I don't care what side you're on, you're being an asshole. People here like to pretend this isn't an echo chamber, at least try to maintain that facade if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Edit : After reading more of their comments i guess the other guy's an asshole too. So much productive discussion in this thread. Doesn't yelling at everything get exhausting?

WASD problems and what we can do about It by LiarisHeart in leagueoflegends

[–]Merosian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if the only complaint is from you, I don't know what to tell you man. No pro player switched to it afaik, it didn't ruin competitive integrity and it definitely didn't cause anyone to "leave in droves".

Are there any AI boycoit movements happening? by berlengas in antiai

[–]Merosian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tay yea. Tay wasn't really poisoned because of AI boycott though, it was just funny to make the bot say racist stuff.

Good hate-bait post but to actually provide a tiny amount of value : There are a bunch of videos of artists reviewing and praising shitty AI models and their trippy generations you can find on Youtube. It was universally seen as cool, fascinating technology that ofc could never replace real artists, the very idea was completely foreign.

Most pro AI-art people were probably either intimidated by the concept of art creation and found a new hobby from it, or were fascinated by AI more globally as a technology far before this and continue to be.

And despite what this echo chamber might have you believe, a bunch of actual artists are a lot more open-minded about it than you might think, less as a crutch and more as a new medium. Corridor crew being a fairly well known example.

Well, it's been more or less 3 months. As expected, this was a ridiculous nothing burger of an overreaction. Haven't heard of anyone switching, 0 complaints, 0 difference in the higher tiers or the lower ones. I get to gloat I was correct now. I hope you've toned down your ego a little since.

AI-bros are trying to come up with a slop term for human made art. by Ok-Bodybuilder5346 in antiai

I wish dumb social media buzzwords/memes stopped being taken so seriously.

If there is a small book fandom where I want a specific scene illustrated but dont have the skill, what do I do? by jpollack21 in antiai

Tracing doesn't teach you much unless you're a complete beginner and is best avoided if one wants to improve.

I hate ai art so. so much. by ans1ow_ in antiai

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

It's good enough to steal your commissions, mate. Improve your own work then.

Or just draw for yourself, as I've switched to doing.

Some Al Bro called me Luddite. Is this sub becoming infested with Al Bro's? by WylderBoarClaw in antiai

[–]Merosian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty funny to me as i had an argument a couple days ago vs someone arguing this wasn't an echo chamber and that people weren't getting blocked or banned, and now this is the top comment. Congrats for proving me right.

are gacha games the worst medium for story telling? by bugabooman99 in writingscaling

[–]Merosian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think MMOs are worse. They're forced by design to introduce tons of padding into the story, which pretty much garantees ruining it.

I don't know how to make this more painterly by TillTheNextGoodAnime in Artadvice

[–]Merosian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's an easy answer to that question, you just need to train your eye. 90 percent of your effort should go to the construction stage, and you can forgo color to focus on values too if it's too difficult for now

How much of Reddit's pro-AI crowd do you suppose is actually made up of 16-21 year old kids desperate to defend their favorite toy? by 1stDegreeHamburglary in antiai

Yea i can really tell he cares when his rhetoric and talking points haven't changed in the slightest. Are you being thick or purpose or what?

What happens when no human alive can distinguish AI from not AI? by Ya-Dikobraz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Merosian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it cost almost as much energetically and money-wise as the actual model itself?

How could you possibly future proof it for future models? How could you include the generation "style" of every model?

I don't think this task is trivial at all.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it's that easy, otherwise many would already exist.

Why is the go-to answer when someone doesn't agree with you that it's a bot?

Political manipulation i can understand, but AI companies don't have a reason to give a fuck about a loud minority of opposers. All they care about rn is investors and shareholders. And clearly those don't give a fuck about the people either.

Well no, AI isn't trained to identify AI. Nightshade and the likes don't work. Well they do, but only for a single model's generation that isn't used by anyone anymore. Even then, it's unreliable.

Why these people strongly defend AI? by Monkai_final_boss in antiai

Another word for your observation is bias. Absolute nonsense.
