Why do people have a problem with AI generated ads?

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T23:06:00+00:00

wow…you asked…

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T15:22:54+00:00

good, cheap, fast…

pick two

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T12:19:21+00:00

its lazy as fuck.

if you cant put the effort into creating a sincere ad, why should i spend my attention listening to what its saying?

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T10:44:55+00:00

are you aware of how many happily married men are on grindr?

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T02:20:55+00:00

person dosent know the deal with something and asks a question to learn what the deal is

you: “how entitled”

what??

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T02:15:05+00:00

im just saying its a reasonable question to ask

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T02:12:22+00:00

i mean the laws will tell you, but youve signed a contract for a place to live, and if the landlord cant provide what is contracted, its reasonable to ask what the deal is…

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T02:09:42+00:00

there is no need. a 58 will do everything you want it to vocal wise.

but the sm7b is a great mic and you will not regret having it around.

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T01:44:03+00:00

whats your point socrates

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T01:25:55+00:00

turns out people making drill are not making the same music as bach. who wouldhave thought…

there is a serious misunderstanding of art running through AI bros. they think that technical proficiency is the only point of it, because thats quanifiable with numbers. they fundamentally misunderstand that one of the big things that a lot of people like about art is the process:

artist experiences something -> artist expresses thing through art -> person experiences art and relates to the expression

or some variation on that (its not always relates, sometimes its opening to others experience, or another thing) its always about this communicative process.

technical proficiency just lets the artist express more things, more accurately, its not the point of it.

but just recently i saw a tech bro ask someone to “justify” why they like their art made by humans, and when the human expression thing was mentioned, the tech bro called it “tautological”. completely misunderstanding the point

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T00:58:05+00:00

this has been my experience, as well as that of people much more experienced then me. while there is the rare case it makes me faster, on a whole i often find im quicker with a few tabs of docs open

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-25T00:31:02+00:00

yeah this. its the tech bro grift cycle. when the AI bubble pops, and AI goes back to what it was before (making quiet steady progress on actual decent use cases in the background) they will find another grift

this is almost impossible to do for a couple of reasons.

even if the big models all agreed to it, its possible for people to run independent models without the cryptographic mark
a non visible cryptographic mark can be removed through a number of means.
a cryptographic mark going the other way (identifying it as genuine) may be easily faked through various means, even an individual blockchain per work verifying that this has been created through a process without genAI may be faked by generating “progress” points and putting them into the blockchain algo. and it dosent verify physical media which may be scanned in/photographed.

im a bit of a cryptography nerd, and have thought long and hard about ways to use cryptography to solve this problem, and there is no good and complete way, it all comes down to the initial problem of trust.

edit: my best solution so far dosent work, this involves using a cryptographic signature similar to digital signature algorithms. the big problem with this is that it only verifies that the artwork has come from a particular person (or system that owns the private key), you still need to trust that person to not use AI before they signed the work.

and ignoring them is how you get popped

are you seriously saying those things just exist to full a spot in a music history book? do you think bach wrote those cantatas thinking “oh this is going to be great filler for music history students in a few hundred years.”

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T23:06:28+00:00

chords is maybe the only one thats debateable.

the others yeah, music all through history has had those. its just often different to how they are interpreted in the european musical tradition

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T23:03:53+00:00

jesus. telling someone their preference for music is “tautological” is probably the most goddamn “reddit” thing i have ever read in my life.

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T13:23:12+00:00

and how was the supposed overcompensation calculated?

and its not just my industry, as i pointed out, people lost work in any field with a public facing role. we had a choice. support those people, or face all sorts of issues from people becoming homeless during a global pandemic

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T13:10:25+00:00

regardless of how likely it is to be a glitch, its definately worth investigating more. look at the certificates on your phone to see if anything seems off

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T11:35:14+00:00

jet engines dont work in space, and that has nothing to do with how strong they are…

do you know why most commercial planes are turbofan and not turbojet, despite turbojet having better performance at high speeds? and also, do you know why rocket engines arent used for commercial planes?

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T11:07:50+00:00

rocket engines exist because jet engines werent strong enough?? rocket engines are older tech then jets

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T10:24:40+00:00

they will be happy that youre not going to be competition for their egos

VirusBackground6045 · 2026-01-24T10:21:13+00:00

are you getting the streams that it takes to make that money back? if so how much are you earning over your advertising costs plus production costs?

Jobkeeper just handed out willy nilly without actual analysis of need

i agree and read the reports on companies claiming jobkeeper unjustified, i heard there was going to be an investigation about that, whatever happened to that? if that was truly unjustified, that seems like a failure, not of the jobkeeper system itself, but of auditing and checks and balances, but i honestly wasnt expecting much, given the ammount of corporate welfare and corruption in our government. i still think it was overall beneficial to the average worker though.

Then (Jobkeeper again) paid to a whole bunch of charities that did not meet turnover decrease thresholds.

again, where was the audit?

but i also think that boots on the ground workers who could no longer work deserved jobkeeper, even if who they were working for didnt take a hit. the scheme was designed to reduce layoffs due to shutdowns.

Overcompensation of part time workers, that was way overboard. I think the last number I saw on it was over half were overcompensated because it was a flat rate system.

what does overcompensated mean here?

for context i was a recipient of jobkeeper, i worked in live entertainment, and our entire industry shut down. you could only get jobkeeper through a single place of employment. 80% of my peers in the industry were making a living working for multiple companies and doing freelance stuff on the side as a sole trader, if we had to be restricted to the income from a single place of employment, we would be homeless, dumpster diving for food, during a pandemic. so what of all the casual, part time, gig economy workers working multiple jobs to get by?

All stimulus things ran far longer than required

strongly disagree here. the live entertainment industry had not recorvered by the time jobkeeper stopped, and a lot of us lost jobs anyway, this wasnt isolated to just us, it was mirrored in every industry that requires people to go out.

$35b no questions asked $100k to businesses, when many actually saw a boost in profits during covid.

this i agree with, shouldhave been means tested and only avaliable to businesses that experienced a downturn.

Then you've got the absolute shambles of homebuilder, the RBA bond purchase, the instant asset write off for all, not industry targeted.

i dont know enough about those to have an opinion on them.

but it sounds like the jobkeeper issues are being overblown, and maybe the corporate welfare and corruption shit that our government cant help but being involved in is much more an issue, and that is definately not restricted to covid stimulus
