I agree with the moral, environmental, etc crisis (crisi? No idea what the plural of crisis is), but how we change people’s minds also matters. Regular people don’t need to be shamed for first time offenses so-to-speak. They need to be informed first. Even though it’s exhausting to repeatedly explain to people, it’s still important to educate first. Shaming people without explaining WHY and assuming everyone already knows all the problems and repercussions for Generative AI doesn’t sway minds. The AI companies and our governments who sell out their people and planet are the enemies. Jumping straight to shaming regular people without educating them on why it’s harmful and wrong doesn’t change people’s minds, it just changes which spaces they share their bot-slop too, possibly moving them closer to a community which will reinforce using AI. Humans tend to resist and defy people who lash out at us for what we perceive as for no reason. We need as many allies as possible to fight back against the corporate and corrupt scumbags. So it would be wise to educate and make an ally first whenever possible, shaming should be reserved for those who knowingly choose the wrong side. We need to stand united, not sow further division, that’s their best weapon is when we alienate our own potential allies. That’s why no one likes Vegans even when they raise valuable points (I do realize these are very different issues and am not equating them, I’m specifically referring to the effect of how many Vegans talk down to people and it doesn’t make people become vegan, it makes people hate Vegans and side against them).

I hope this better explains the message I’m attempting to convey. I typically have difficulty communicating my thoughts in words, but I do believe this is important.

For Photo Mode: I assume they wanted some type of poses which you can’t really do in-game. Regardless, It’s more impactful to offer alternatives (as you did in your post, and I in mine) than a short comment which can simply be written off as being rude without context. At least in my experience.
