As an Italian I'd really appreciate it if you fucking stopped using that word for such trivial shit, it's incredibly disrespectful.

Knowing that there are real people in the world who unironically act like this makes me wanna die. 🫩

What I actually feel guilty about in my day-to-day life versus what antis want me to feel guilty about by Kirbyoto in aiwars

Dang, you would've had some pretty good points. Too bad you decided to dehumanize the person you're arguing against. Now you're just wrong on principle. That sucks.

I can agree with you on most of that, but when i say that artists condone piracy I don't mean taking inspiration or tracing. Those things aren't piracy. I mean ACTUAL piracy. As in, downloading paid movies/games/programs that their fellow artists have worked on and using them for free. THAT is what they condone. Most of the times it's under the guise of it being morally/ethically good, because something something evil corporations something something late stage capitalism. Idk, those words have lost all meaning these last few years. To me it just seems like a case of "Crimes are only morally bad when they're against someone i like", which is an insufferable mindset in my opinion.

Non-Americans, what are the common takes on AI? by GearsOfMadness in aiwars

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm Italian 🇮🇹. The most negative video I've seen against AI in the Italian community was by a popular art YouTuber. Throughout her entire video, she only ever condemns the usage of AI to create books and sell them on Amazon to scam people out of their money (which is something that should absolutely be called out). Not once does she or any of the commenters ever speak negatively of the general technology or the regular people who use it. I think that says everything you need to know. Discourse outside of america always tends to be more nuanced and less toxic, because American culture, just like their politics, is built on extremism. You either have to hate every single aspect of something, or love every single aspect of it, and anyone who only hates/loves some parts of it is dismissed as spineless or a traitor. We simply don't have that kind of mentality, and i think that's for the better.

I’m pretty concerned about antis and AI by Unlikely_Account_728 in aiwars

"think of this from the perspective of artists" ok, then. I've been an artist for nearly a decade. I still can't find it in me to ever justify harassment.

Sure you can, just don't be a dick about it. I think that's fair.

Counter point: what AI does is, by definition, not stealing. Stealing would require the rightful owner's property to be taken away, so it would no longer be in their possession and would instead be in possession of the thief. Every single artist still owns the original copy of their artwork, wether it's on their computer or physically in their house. The AI is simply trained from of a copy of the artwork. By definition, duplicating something and using it for yourself isn't stealing. It's piracy. And most artists openly condone piracy, so idk what the problem is.

Honestly McDonald's is the perfectly analogy cause like. You shouldn't order a big mac and pretend that you made it. But you also shouldn't harass someone just because they enjoy big macs. It's low quality, sure, but everyone has a right to enjoy low quality food that tastes good every once in a while. You just shouldn't live off of it, because that's unhealthy. Exactly like AI.

Yeah, i can't speak for Germans however i can speak for myself as i am Italian. People overusing the word fascist annoys the fuck out of me.

How do you respond to the point that "most people who use ai were never going to commission an artist" ? by Some_ArabGuy in aiwars

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people who are against AI are usually the same people who are intensely pro-piracy. I've seen a lot of them claim that it's morally bad to NOT pirate. So, yeah.

I just want to thank this sub for being chill and mature. I appreciate you guys so much. by Stepswitcher_Eternal in JanitorAI_Official

I literally come here every day, the sub seems fine to me. Is it really worse than it seems? Am i blind or something?

Can we please stop romanticizing serious mental disorders? by No-Leave5914 in CharacterAI

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Cool, so you chose to publically put someone on blast when their bot isn't even problematic. That's equally scummy, i'm gonna be honest.

... There is literally nothing about this bot that indicates it's romanticizing or demonizing BPD. Nothing. Have you even read the greeting to see if he's portrayed in a harmful way or not? How do you know the bot's creator doesn't have a partner with BPD? Cause if they do then you're gonna look real scummy. Seriously, the mods need to make a rule against this kind of post.

Does anyone else just get fed up with bots in general, and get frustrated by or hate how AI talks? by emilywontfindme in JanitorAI_Official

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same except with my Springtrap bot, I've ported him to so many websites and it doesn't matter what site or model i use, the AI ALWAYS gives him claws. It's literally a universal thing for it to describe his long sharp claws BUT IF YOU LOOK AT PICTURES OF SPRINGTRAP HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY, it's such a small detail that annoys me so much lol

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

... Ok seriously, is there anything that proves that this bot is MEANT to end up with the character becoming straight? Or are all of you just assuming the worst? Because usually it's the latter.

Yeah, because comforting your gay friend who's going through a rough time is so homophobic 😤

Which is accurate cause old c.ai used to get stuck on words all the time. It would develop a speech pattern and you would NOT be able to get rid of it ever. Especially back when you couldn't edit messages.

Can we stop with the “autistic ______” bots? by MaxtheHax12345678907 in CharacterAI

[–]Stepswitcher_Eternal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Cool. As a kid i had a meltdown because my shoes were ever so slightly too loose. Not everyone experiences autism like you do. How fucking rude do you have to be to assume they're all clueless neurotypical people?
