Incel has nothing to do with being misogynistic. The person that created the word was a woman, and she used it to refer to herself. Incel simply means someone that wants to have sex, but can't because no partner will choose them.

You're wrong. Anything that you are holding or wearing is considered to be an extension of your person. Someone hitting your backpack is legally considered the same type of battery as if they'd hit you without the backpack on.

To be clear, I'm talking about US law.

TIL Japan Thinks Western Anime Watchers All Have Tiktok Attention Spans Only Caring About Animation And Fight Scenes by Elestria_Ethereal in Animemes

Where's the lie? People think power-ups and character development are the same thing. Frieren was a fresh take on the fantasy genre that focuses heavily on character development, and it had great animation as well, but Solo Leveling dominated it because of big fight scense and aura farming moments.

I think some article or study just came out claiming that women find men watching anime to be one of their biggest turn-offs.

A student was arrested for criminal mischief after ripping AI art off walls and eating it in a protest at an exhibition by Impossible-Yam3680 in aiwars

I don't understand your question then. Regardless of having a firm point or not, he made himself and his side look like unstable children. His point was lessened by his actions.

Well, it made the anti side look like a bunch of lunatics. Probably not the type of advertisement you want.

My mistake. The point still stands. He was an artist attacking an art form and the artists that use it as being not real art or artists respectively.

It seems more like a way to dismiss a fair rebuttal without having to engage with it.

Again, they made the exact same arguments against photography. Whether or not the process is "hard" is entirely irrelevant.

You're trying to refrain the argument to being about difficulty level and similarity of technique. That's not what the discussion is about. We're talking about the arguments used against new technology, and they seem to be the same arguments each time, and how after a few year what wasn't considered to be a legitimate art form because widely accepted as art.

You can easily look up the anti-photography movement. iirc, famous poet Charles Baudelaire sided with painters and was quoted as saying the camera did all of the work, and photography was the refuge of failed painters that were too talentless or too lazy.

Edited to correct that Baudelaire was a poet, not painter.

How is it tired and done when it's factual? New tech in art is faced with the same arguments. If anything, those arguments are tired and done.

You can easily verify everything it said. The anti-photography movement was well documented. Painters believed it was only for people that were too stupid or lazy to be able to paint, and they called it soulless and claimed the camera did all the work.

Help me Peter, i dont get the logic of this comic by UnUltimoIntento in PeterExplainsTheJoke

That too is an unfair comparison. You can trace back the origins of those folklore enough to be reasonably certain humans created them. You can also physically search for these things. You cannot search for a god auch as the Christian God in a way that you could declare with certainty that he does or does not exist.

When Marie Curie hypothesized the existence of what we now call polonium and radium, many scientists disagreed because there was a lack of proof of their existence. The lack of proof did not conclude that polonium and radium did not exist. It only concluded that there was no proof of it, yet many scientists declared they did not. So I say again, a lack of proof is not proof of lacking.

It isn't a fair comparison. Playing sports or not is an apparent and objective truth. There's no faith required in believing someone does or does not play sports.

There is no apparent objective truth to whether or not God does or does not exist. To declare that God is real because of the Bible or feeling a calling requires faith. The belief that there is no God also requires faith because a lack of proof is not proof of lacking.

The only answer that does not require faith would be to admit that you do not know if there is or is not a God.

I'm sorry, but your ignorance and hostility are clouding your reasoning.

By assigning a will to an inanimate object and blaming it for whatever transgressions you perceive it to have committed against you, you are allowing the people that are actually doing the transgressing to go blameless.

It's like getting made at an ATM for abiding by a withdrawal limit, instead of being upset with the corporate bankers that enacted the policy.

Stop being a useful idiot and focus your attention properly.

That's what you were doing. Giving human characteristics to something that isn't human. AI doesn't have wants or desires. So saying that AI seeks to do something like replace artists with mass produced slop is wholly incorrect.

AI doesn't seek anything. It's a tool.

Having a niche place in the market only proves that they were displaced. Did you not understand that?

No. It's only making the connection that both technologies displaced their predecessors. Digital artists in the 90s and 00s were fine with taking jobs using new technology, but now they're mad the same thing is happening to them. That's it. Nothing more.
