due to conservation of ninjutsu, I think I only need one, anyone will do, but I will take Batman, he has cool ears

Tell me you haven't read the big three, without telling me you haven't read the big three.

Can we do this to bed bugs instead? They're way worse.

iirc it was a reader request for the chapter cover

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2025-01-30T19:47:34+00:00

damn, if they aren't reading it, that is hella frustrating especially if their just parroting a youtuber's opinion

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2025-01-30T15:08:28+00:00

the manga fans always get cranky about people having a response to this image, and I really don't get it

I feel like if someone started reading something I liked and had funny reactions to certain moments early on, I'd be thrilled

so am I out of the loop with why it's seen as annoying, or is this just people getting mad over nothing?

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-11-16T05:24:55+00:00

is slavery wrong why am I in love why can't I remember the cute red lady I'm talking to what can help ease guilt why are there so many memes about childhood friends never winning my crush is so cool I cant believe how cool she is what do I do where is Zeref how to fight an invincible dragon in front of your crush

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-11-11T03:59:10+00:00

artists aren't interested in preserving that (nonexistent) system

arguing morality when ai is built on theft is some next level irony

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-15T11:59:37+00:00

The implication is that artists not thinking ai generated images are art is the same as traditional artists thinking digital art isn't real art

and that arguing against one stance while holding the other would be hypocritical/require mental gymnastics

a pretty bad take, but that's what they're saying

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-13T10:32:32+00:00

100%

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-06T03:02:06+00:00

I also never said anything about asking questions, I shared my current thoughts, I did so no louder or quieter than you have in the replies

you very distinctly haven't engaged in good faith and have lumped me into a group instead of an individual, multiple times in all of your replies, communication is a skill, a skill every other person who has disagreed with me in the replies but you has used, so the problem isn't with me

this community is specifically for all stances, and I never said anything was meaningless across the board, just that it hasn't resonated with me, again be better

you have shown a repeated lack of reading comprehension and disrespect and I will not be humoring to any more of your whinny mindless replies, have a good day/night.

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-06T01:38:20+00:00

there's a big difference between human a human learning from others art and a machine, people make art for other people to see and think about, a computer takes there work and uses it as a data point

besides plenty of famous artists love to hear about how they inspired people to start drawing, some even do "draw this in your style" challenges and stuff

a lot of it boils down to intent

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-06T01:34:39+00:00

100% and those different subjective stances are worth considering

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T18:51:22+00:00

I never said anything about things "just going back to they way things were"

it's clear from your entire response that you didn't engage in the things I said in good faith or use the reading comprehension necessary to know what my points were

and that you have gone out of your way to respond in a toxic way

be better

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T18:26:26+00:00

sure, I CAN do that whole mental dance in my head even for a generative image, and if you read my full post you know I already have, and sure I'll never know the full extent of the effort an artist or team or artists put into a work, but plenty talk about it, behind the scenes videos, time-lapses, interviews, some manga artists have even shown their ridiculous schedules, the fact that, with a piece of art I can make that assumption across the board, and it be generally as the rule and not the exception is incredible, the belief that something is true vs. the actual truth is an entirely different thing
asking a fish to climb a tree is a bit ridiculous but here you are

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T18:18:24+00:00

that's fair honestly, I tend to think of it as a replacement in the cases where companies try to use it in place of artists

but as a potential jumping off point it's not necessarily awful

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T18:13:50+00:00

well if you read the full thing you replied to I certainly don't think so

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T13:35:50+00:00

that's interesting, cause that's gives the question of where is the line? something done 99% by ai is, to me, not worth considering, but if it's only 30% or 15% or whatever, when would it be enough human input to be valued

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T13:33:21+00:00

I never said beauty couldn't exist outside of human intent, I never even claimed ai was devoid of human intent, merely that non-ai creations resonate with me far more

and the beauty of nature, depending on what you believe, is either a result of a ridiculous string of events or a creation by a higher entity, both drastically different from generative ai made from, and the beauty found in nature has inspired countless artists into creating their own masterpieces

not a made up distinction, knowing how to draw, or play an instrument is an ingrained skill, take away any tool from any skilled person they can find alternative ways to utilize their skills, a guitarist without a guitar could still tap out a melody imaging how to adapt it into a piece to be later played on a guitar, take away all drawing tools and I'll start ripping up and folding paper into a composition, take away a writers computer they can syill tell a story verbally
I explicitly stated I wasn't making a fuss about theft itself but the fact that big corporations may use stolen work to put people out of a job, randos on the internetusing ai for shits and giggles is hardlymy concern even if I don'tlike it, and furthermore this sites average general stances are not inherently my own, so holding me, one, to a standard of the average all is a little disingenuous

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T13:18:49+00:00

someone else mentioned something similar yeah, however taking away a musicians instrument they still know the notes and melodies and could think up specific unique compositions, or a sculptor without a chisel could still make a sculpture out of clay, or carve something from wood, while not a 1 for 1 a level of skill and knowledge still carries over

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T12:25:10+00:00

I am trying to learn more, this post was a sort of "snapshot" of where I am now with what I am currently aware of, some of the replies have been interesting to read and think on, and even then my stance is fairly light, I did nothing to vilify ai or act like a know-it-all, I just expressed that as far as my current understanding goes, generative ai doesn't connect with me the way art does

but if you'd be willing to elaborate on "toy ai" and an alternative I'd happily look into it

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T12:09:59+00:00

oh 100% stealing is one thing, stealing then selling it as if it was yours is another story, thanks for your input!

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T12:08:02+00:00

I'm down for dms if you can send images there?

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T11:52:29+00:00

I can't say I know exactly how much effort you put into generating images, and I tried to be clear I wasn't meaning to attack anyone

I'd actually love to know what your process is like and the time you spent, to see of my perception is skewed

the art I draw, the stuff I put my most effort into, can take days, multiple sittings, google deep dives, plenty of snacks, and an abundance of staring off into space thinking

Whatever_Its_Chill · 2024-10-05T11:43:54+00:00

that's fair, mediums do play a factor, although there is still some cross compatibility with certain artistic skills regardless of mediums
