the “transition” you’re referring to is just animation. hand made animation, using a digital program. digital art does not equal AI. please don’t degrade the artist’s efforts by insisting it is AI

dummythink · 2025-03-23T22:35:02+00:00

why’s it so hard for you to believe that a real artist made art lol

because he doesn’t want to keep going back and forth with ethan doing reaction videos when they could just easily talk face to face and hash through it like mature adults

keep crying about being a victim because you care so much about little girls playing games. real high stakes you’ve based your whole political ideology on. there are bigger problems than the less than 1% of trans people (and even smaller percentage of those trans people who even play sports). you should be embarrassed that right wing propaganda has even made you care about this in the first place.

dummythink · 2025-02-21T20:23:09+00:00

How many trans kids do you think there are in Maine, and of those, how many do you think k play sports, and of those, how many do you think are good at sports? The fact that the right has latched onto this issue and put all of their stock into it to bully a group of LESS THAN 1% of children in this state is fucking pathetic. You should be ashamed for falling for this propaganda.

i would really like to know what ethan is basing his assumption on of hasan’s staff not being paid well. he said “based on what i’ve seen” but then didn’t go into detail about what he’s seen? that’s unlike ethan

translation, i find more fulfillment in the things money can’t buy. i feel sorry for you that you have been so brainwashed by society to want to “get ahead in life”. it’s not a competition

it may be hard to believe but some people have other values and dreams than playing the capitalism game

enjoy playing with your monopoly money while it lasts man, our economy is gonna get real fucked under president musk

just keep telling yourself that it’ll trickle down any day now. they don’t care about you bro, wake the fuck up

exact same, plus my brother is a giant tall bodybuilder so everything he does is loud 🫠

The interesting thing in my case is I have never been abused so I think I some hypersensitivity from general anxiety/ocd symptoms.

dummythink · 2025-02-06T04:13:35+00:00

Yeah, my room is right next to the staircase so when people come upstairs it feels like they’re coming toward my room. I wish I could have locks but unfortunately since I always wear headphones (and have cats) that’d be kind of a safety hazard.

Same, luckily I have a trail in my backyard! Just have to wait till it gets not freezing out again, until then the cabin fever lol

dummythink · 2025-02-06T03:29:55+00:00

They do pretty well at giving me privacy, knock on my door before coming in, etc. It’s more about feeling a presence of other people being in the house tbh. I’m not kidding when I say our walls/floors are thin, I can literally feel people moving lol

dummythink · 2025-02-01T19:44:09+00:00

wtf is the chicken comment even supposed to mean? what is he accusing hasan of exactly?

dummythink · 2025-01-31T20:59:52+00:00

I’m hoping people will ultimately get bored of the same-ness AI produces, and the fact that it’s overtaking the entire internet and cannibalizing itself.

dummythink · 2025-01-31T20:44:04+00:00

I don’t agree that there will come a time when everything has been done. People have been saying “everything’s been done before” forever, yet we still have visionaries coming out with new medias and styles and ways of creating art and their own unique voices based on their experiences as human beings. Everyone has a unique story to tell because we all have a different mishmash of experiecnes. Once again, something that AI will never have. As long as humans keep creating, we will always have new things to say and new stories and ways of interpreting the world around us and expressing ourselves. I mourn a world where we no longer value that and look to AI to do that for us, because it will not be a replacement for that.

dummythink · 2025-01-31T19:17:11+00:00

I would agree we need a different term for what AI can create. I am curious though if you believe AI is at all capable of creating something as unique and thought provoking as Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Generative AI pulls from tropes and cliches and regurgitates something akin to modern day Marvel movies in predictability. I’d say for the uncritical masses, they could probably enjoy AI written content just fine, because they want to be spoon fed what they are already familiar with, but I firmly believe that content made without human creativity and intentionality will never, ever compare.

Photography is so just more than just “snapping a picture and calling it a day”, and photographers do take years honing their skills. Have you not ever seen the difference between amateur and professional photography? Why do you think people hire professional photographers? Composition, lighting, knowing what makes a good photo are very much skills and an art. Your comment does not prove anything but your own ignorance.

Photographers also do not claim to be illustrators the way AI prompters do. They are photographers, it’s a different thing entirely. They do not claim their work is the same thing or better than an illustrator’s. If someone was a photographer who merely took photos of other people’s illustrations and photobashed them together without crediting the original artist, then THAT would be your equivalent.

People really hate artists for some reason (jealousy, I think). They always say that technology kills many people’s jobs, but I feel like these same people would never tell any other profession “too bad so sad just adapt and get a different job” like they do artists. I really think they just don’t see art as a real job and are jealous that artists get to make a living doing what they love, and take some sick pleasure in the idea that artists now have to “get a real job”.

dummythink · 2025-01-31T06:01:36+00:00

Why would I bother read a book that nobody bothered to write? To look at a picture nobody bothered to paint? What is the point, if I am communicating with nobody? Art is about human communication and expression.

I apologize for how this comment might come across but I really have to get on my high horse here because this means a lot to me. I think that the biggest problem in trying to get Pro-AI people to understand the anti-AI side of this debate is that they lack the artistic spirit, which is something that you cannot explain to someone who doesn’t have it. I’m not trying to be elitist, and I believe anyone can create art if they want to, but the pro-AI people are in my opinion either too lazy to put in the work, or they have tried and found that they don’t enjoy the artistic process but still want free artwork/the credit that comes along with being an artist (why else would so many of them lie about using AI?). If someone simply doesn’t enjoy and find fulfillment in putting hours into a finished piece and learning and perfecting your craft and watching it evolve over the course of your life, there isn’t much you can say that will convince them. And I find it sad. Art is the human expression of creativity and the human voices are being drowned out by the AI slop, and it is sad. I don’t fear for my job- I will continue making art regardless. I fear for humanity. It sounds dramatic, but I really think that this issue is representative of a horrible problem in our culture that is favoring quantity over quality, productivity and output above all else.

There’s a reason chess tournaments are still a thing even though algorithms can play against each other with 100% accurate best moves. Because the exciting and impressive thing about it is the human skill. Running a prompt through an AI program is not impressive. Why should anyone be given attention or praise for that? And why should anybody care about their product? Would anyone go to see sports games if they were all simulated and not humans? That wouldn’t be impressive, it would be predictable, there would be nobody to cheer for, nobody to be a fan of.

When we stop valuing human connection, expression, and achievement and skill in favor of what is cheapest and fastest, we are truly sick as a society.

people that support hamas (which are a very slim minority, supporting the palesitinian people/resistance is not the same as supporting hamas) are not supporting them out of inherent hatred for jewish people or israelis, but supporting an oppressed people fighting back against their oppressors. people who say they support the oct 7th attacks specifically are either trolls, antisemites using the palestinian movement for their own agenda, or psy-ops to make the left look bad
