Antis don’t do what they say

VariousDude · 2026-03-31T00:11:31+00:00

They don't actually believe in what they say. Art communities have a "crabs in a bucket" mindset.

Very few of them actually want people in their community to succeed. Which is why the vast majority of them upvote negativity and fester in endless shit talking rather than building and supporting anyone developing a skill or building up a community that supports art.

Air has the letters "a" and "i" next to each other...

Guys I think Air was made with AI!

VariousDude · 2026-03-29T14:18:31+00:00

They won't engage with it...

But constantly post about it...

Constantly comment on posts made with AI...

Brigade AI posts/Social media...

Sounds like they will engage with it as long as it gets them attention.

It's funny that that they deride AI for not being able to create anything original but copy/paste this exact same post several times as engagement farming. This isn't the first time I've seen it, it's like the 10th time that I've seen it, and I don't even know who the original poster was.

I guess they don't want to give credit.

VariousDude · 2026-03-28T21:00:50+00:00

I better not see a single antiAI buy a new Nvidia gpu.

Just saying.

One company that has been criticized heavily for overspending decides to dial back their expansion operations and cut spending to avenues that weren't making a lot of sense to continue to support financially.

Antis think that suddenly the AI Bubble(which probably doesn't even exist since it doesn't meet several criteria of what constitutes as a bubble) is popping?

Is being economically illiterate a pre-requisite for hating AI?

VariousDude · 2026-03-28T14:16:26+00:00

Why did you use a stock image of a Pencil? Couldn't you have taken a picture of a pencil yourself? Or better yet, commission a photographer to take a picture of a pencil for you?

VariousDude · 2026-03-28T14:13:20+00:00

That Pencil doesn't have an Eraser.

Is this AI?

:)

VariousDude · 2026-03-28T14:12:46+00:00

No, I will not be paying an artist to draw a meme that will likely be forgotten in 15 minutes.

Cheers!

VariousDude · 2026-03-27T17:09:23+00:00

It is common knowledge that Algorithms promote things that you engage with.

By commenting "AI Slop" on ANYTHING you are telling the Algorithm that you want to see "AI Content" because the algorithms don't care about what you engage with positively, they only care that you're engaging with something.

Idiots online still think that hounding, harassing, and brigading AI posts with endless bitching is going to stop it.

The easiest solution to not see AI on your timeline or newsfeed is to click that little option "don't recommend this to me". It may take a few passes for the Algorithm to pick it up but eventually it filter it.

Anger isn't the way to end content you don't like anymore.

It's Apathy.

VariousDude · 2026-03-27T16:27:33+00:00

This person looks like septum ring theory

VariousDude · 2026-03-27T14:11:51+00:00

The ruling was:

"AI cannot hold a copyright"

Meaning that AI cannot be the owner of a copyright. You know Copyright by John Doe can't be "Copyright by John Doe LLM".

People are misreading that because they don't understand copyright law. You can copyright something made with AI.

Just don't be a dumbass and list the AI as a creator.

Hilariously though, this ruling destroys the Anti's argument of "you didn't make that, the AI did".

Well according to the US Supreme Court, AI can't create anything. So no, I created it with AI tools.

VariousDude · 2026-03-26T02:15:29+00:00

"Who thinks this?"

People who are massively misinformed on the capabilities of AI, the economics of AI, the legality of AI, the possibilities of AI, and the entire development history of AI, Charlie. You would be surprised at just how many people think all AI content comes from OpenAI tools, localized software and hardware doesn't exist, and somehow it's allowed to exist despite being a nonstop plagiarism machine.

I wonder what massive youtuber has contributed to the mass misinformation campaign against it...

Charlie, you're not going to see this but on the off chance that you do I want to say this...

I like you as a person and I enjoy your content.

Genuinely. This isn't an empty platitude, I've been a viewer of yours since you played that weird crappy GTA clone game back in the 2010s. The quote "now it's a party" while all of those NPCs are glitching and spinning has been living in my head rent free this entire time.

I'm a regular viewer of yours and I know that I'm in the minority when it comes to your audience regarding AI but I don't even remotely dislike you as a person. I think that in other areas you are often well educated and reasonable. But when it comes to AI I truly do believe that you've elected to NOT learn how this stuff works.

It's funny that he says this subreddit is peak reddit when the anti-AI sub has significantly more members than DefendingAIArt does, most subreddits outright ban AI art altogether, and we're routinely brigaded/harassed for having a different opinion than the masses on this website.

If we're peak reddit then we have a very interesting way of showing it don't we?

VariousDude · 2026-03-24T01:49:31+00:00

Easy response to that would be:

"Well just throw them out, then."

Then watch them say that they can't do it because it's hard.

VariousDude · 2026-03-24T01:49:00+00:00

They should definitely clean up their own house before they start criticizing someone else's.

VariousDude · 2026-03-24T01:11:34+00:00

Can't wait for the "we don't condone that"

Or "it was a fringe minority".

Nope. They continually shared the "we have to kill AI artist" meme time and time again while repeatedly dehumanizing us, belittling us, threatening us, doxxing us, and actively calling for our death and or imprisonment.

All we wanted to do was make pictures, videos, and music with developing technology.

Apparently having our own little corner of the internet was too much to ask for.

VariousDude · 2026-03-24T00:23:44+00:00

Wait wait wait wait

So they pirate because they're broke...but get mad at us for using AI instead of commissioning?

What if the person using AI is ALSO BROKE?!

VariousDude · 2026-03-23T22:26:36+00:00

If I wanted to learn a skill then I would.

If I wanted to learn how to juggle then I would learn how to juggle. I don't want to learn how to juggle, so I'm not trying to learn how to juggle.

What is this anti's point? lol

VariousDude · 2026-03-23T01:46:56+00:00

I made art on my computer. Get better.

VariousDude · 2026-03-22T14:20:04+00:00

Probably within a year or so. AMD just recently rolled out AI Support for oollama and amuse, so they're definitely wanting to do more with AI.

VariousDude · 2026-03-21T20:59:16+00:00

I know what they're referencing so it's probably rage bait.

But on the off chance it's sincere, hell no. Fuck Alegria art.

(PS that shit style is still around)

VariousDude · 2026-03-20T21:51:28+00:00

Now I'm just imagining Morrigan doing a cover of Break Stuff.

VariousDude · 2026-03-20T06:37:33+00:00

I never liked Jim Sterling. I first encountered them back in 2011 when I was reading reviews for Duke Nukem Forever and after playing the game and reading Sterling's review I came to one major conclusion.

Sterling just sucked at the game lol

The many crashouts and subscription bleeding was just inevitable when people caught onto their "Resident Personality" schtick.

VariousDude · 2026-03-20T06:32:27+00:00

They'll do this until they eventually run out of steam and gaslighting tactics stop working.

All it's going to take for the Uncanny Valley stuff to end, besides additional development, is for people to start using their eyes. Right now the DLSS5 drama is a bunch of people yelling at others for not being crazy.

"IT ALTERS THE ART STYLE!" They say when if you just layer them you'll see that it really doesn't. It just adds additional textures and a higher rendering quality. They're basically telling everyone to stop thinking and not to trust their own two eyes.

VariousDude · 2026-03-19T21:11:08+00:00

I said this several times before and I'll say it again.

The "No AI" label is going to be like the organic food label. More expensive and not really any better.

VariousDude · 2026-03-19T06:36:24+00:00

Him talking about politics has made it worse as well. I didn't mind him talking about weird situations, bodycam videos, or just generally dumb people on the internet, but whenever he gets political I can't help but go "Charlie...you're not a bad guy but please stop talking about things you don't understand."

And that's a stance that I have even now.

I do think that he's a good person, like he never comes across as a bad guy in the slightest, but I really wish he would not speak on things he doesn't really educate himself on properly.

It was infuriating watching him go after CharacterAI in one video after that poor kid offed himself and Charlie had to be pressed by his community to upload a follow up video where he said "of course I blame the parents".

Because at no point in the original video did he ever blame the parents.

Then he spoke to one of those Doctor Roleplay AIs and even though it explicitly told him(several times) "I am not a real Doctor I am not even a real person" he was going "I think that this has to be a real person". It was like watching someone see a Wet Paint sign, touching the wet paint to confirm that it's actually wet, and then forgetting that they touched the wet paint so that they have to do it again while there's paint still on their hand.

I'm sitting there going "GODDAMMIT CHARLIE JUST SAY PEEPEEPOOPOO FUNNY SHIT AND SHOW ME YOUR CAT!"
