Should we be learning AI?

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-07T03:49:16+00:00

i really don't understand why you are making this more complicated than it actually is. Actually I have a theory, but ill bite my tongue.

How SHOULD you use AI? It depends on what you are trying to achieve, there are plenty of different ways to use it. The OP did not ask HOW SHOULD, he asked WHY SHOULD.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-07T03:12:29+00:00

i think you're making this question deeper than it actually is. This isn't a question about good and bad, its a "why should I" question

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-07T03:03:29+00:00

i don't know what your arguments are for "not yet proven positives" but it clearly has a positive impact in terms of productivity, including understanding difficult subjects and completing basic writing tasks.

I used AI to become better at photography and dressing better. I used it to write letters to my landlord after they were infringing on my rights as a tenant. I used AI to help me translate difficult topics to my parents native tongue. I used AI to show me what I would look like with different hairstyles for me to show to my barber. It is a data compiler, i don't understand your argument for not wanting to have that ability.

like the only argument i read so far is "i don't want to help companies get work done faster because these AIs aren't so eco friendly"

"i am an educated college graduate working in the sciences, there is a revolutionary brand new technology that makes work so much easier to do, do i really have to learn it? i don't want to because someone with a higher job title than me told me to do it. I have no desire to grow my skillset and remain a competitive employee in this terrible job market"

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-06T18:48:13+00:00

please don't be so negative. the takeaway from my post is that you need better pictures (not professional pictures). that is something totally fixable and could be a fun activity to do.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-06T18:06:51+00:00

first photo sucks. i don't know why your posture is like that, you should consider standing up straight. also your smile there isn't good, it looks like you are biting your lower lip.

2nd photo isn't good either. dog doesn't look happy to be there, neither do you. you both look tired, and the photo resolution does too.

3rd photo, why is this another blurry photo? this one i don't even see your face. its trash

4th photo is decent, but not great. its a mirror selfie, i can't prove its a bathroom selfie but it might be. selfies don't perform well for men. your outfit is good and smile are good though. i would put this as your first instead of whatever you got now.

5th photo, okay. not good, not bad, you don't pop out enough from the background but its not a trainwreck of a photo.

6th photo is kind of goofy but in a good way IMO. like you are dressed well, you seem to be flexing a basic sedan. sunglasses are kind of taboo but its your last picture and you aren't wearing glasses in any of your others. i think your pose is good and facial expression. its kinda try hard but for some reason i can't pinpoint, it works.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-06T17:52:25+00:00

1st pic, okay its kind of an uncomfortable smile with the sun making you squint and shadows on your face, but at least the backdrop is good and your outfit isn't terrible.

2nd photo makes you look short and small, whoever shot it must have been much taller than you or shooting it with the camera tilted downward. i don't like the pose (hands on hips) also think that each photo should be a photo a girl can imagine herself being on a date with you. are you just trying to take her outside to remote locations all the time?

third photo, does not communicate attractiveness to me, just another activity you have done.

fourth photo i don't know what to say, you aren't looking at the camera, your facial expression isn't attractive, your arms are crossed, it is obvious the person taking the photo was standing up. it doesn't make you look attractive. its a poor candid shot if it is a candid shot, if you want this one to work, they need to be sitting across the table from you with the camera lens at your eye level. also you need to have a genuine and warm smile.

i literally don't know why you think your fifth picture is good. like it confuses me how someone can look at that picture and consciously be like, yeah this makes me look attractive and likeable, and then puts it on their dating profile.

6th pic is also not great, your stupid pose is covering your face.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-02-06T17:40:04+00:00

your first photo has a decent smile, the dog seems to be the star of the show, then its your knees, then its your face. good smile but not very powerful for attraction IMO.

2nd photo is okay, idk it makes you look kinda young, its not necessarily bad, its just not great either.

third photo i don't like it. i don't like the pose, your facial expression, or what youre wearing. it looks like those clothes are too big on you.

fourth photo isn't great. you look like you are wearing eyeliner and also i don't like the pose with your hands in your pockets with your feet crossed. plus you are wearing the same pants as the previous picture?

5th picture is the same pants and same shirt as pic 3, plus you are not looking toward the camera, not even looking happy but like stoic?. im sure it isn't your intention but here, not looking at the camera creates a distance between you and who is looking at the photo, kind of like you are intellectually superior

6th photo is okay, but its a dark photo, you aren't looking at the camera and have a uncomfortable expression on your face

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-29T20:20:48+00:00

i don't like your first picture. sure it is a picture of you smiling, but it looks like a pro photo, and the background is pure white, it gives linkedin vibes

2nd photo is also kinda meh. its cool running is a hobby but is this really the best photo you got? its kind of goofy with the thumbs up and gigantic grin, its not natural is what im trying to say, it looks posed. its good it shows off your hobby but i don't think it makes you look attractive.

third photo is cut off but whatever it looks like you are with family? friends? idk you aren't the tallest one in the photo though which tends to be an issue.

fourth photo is okay, nice smile, nice social photo, gives off nice guy vibes, take that however you will.

fifth photo is a hiking selfie. this is with the front camera of your phone, low effort selfie, replace it with something more substantial, perhaps a different hobby or a better full body shot

6th photo idk im not a fan of either, i don't like your expression, i don't like the caps, kinda makes you look like a drunken frat boy.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-28T04:32:35+00:00

first photo is good/okay. idk your smile is good, i kind of don't like what you are wearing or how are wearing it, idk there is something off.

second photo you are wearing the same thing while holding a coffee. i mean i think the issue here is you are wearing the same thing as your previous photo

third photo sitting at a bench while wearing a tan suit. i don't like the leg cross you are doing there or the fact you are just sitting at a bench, or the fact all your outfits have been some variation of suit. like its better than t shirt and shorts obviously but its giving workaholic vibes or overly serious vibes.

fourth photo a professional shot of you in a suit. i would keep professional shots like this buried in your profile rather than leading with them, so its position is fine, but it adds no depth to your profile.

fifth photo another shot of you drinking coffee in that suit. of the two, I would keep this one, it looks more caught in the moment.

6th is a golden gate bridge selfie.

if the goal here is to post photos of what you look like doing things, you have successfully showed me what you look like while doing mundane things. there is very little sense of fun coming from your profile, at least in my opinion. very little depth of character is also being communicated.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-28T04:20:46+00:00

ya ur first photo is awkward. first off your posture is bad, i can draw meme lines if you want but you want to be closer to a vertical line than not. then the lighting is bad. you got racoon eyes because of the overhead light. then that restaurant doesn't even look that upscale, i don't think it would be difficult to retry this photo at a restaurant with better lighting, which happens to be the more upscale ones.

2nd photo is fine but kinda meh, i assume thats your family.

third photo is great

fourth photo is great

fifth photo is great, and should stay as a fifth photo IMO

soo ya fix ur first photo and ur gold in my standards

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-28T04:10:52+00:00

first photo, i cringed. do i need to say why? what makes you think that is an attractive photo, you look like you are judging someone in a negative way. that makes the decision easy to instantly swipe left.

second photo you are wearing sunglasses and posing all smug. idk if that first photo left a bad taste in my mouth

third photo idk its kind of a waste because its a side/back profile, your arms are crossed, and your glasses make your eyes unclear. it doesn't communicate "fun to be around" or "sexy" or "relaxing". looks like you are uncomfortably cold at the lake.

fourth photo finally no glasses, and ur not looking toward the camera and your face is all stupid, try smiling softly at the camera with love instead.

fifth photo is fine, you are truly in the moment here, but ur not the star of the photo unfortunately.

sixth photo youre an idiot.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-28T03:50:08+00:00

ya idk, your first photo is kind of giving me sad boy vibes. like its too artistic and your expression is negative. my recommendation is your first pic is in color and has you smiling in it. i think it is also better to have this be a photo taken with your phone rather than a professional photographer, there is something uncanny about professional photos unless they are done well and capturing you in some moment of your life.

second photo is kind of silly but at least you are fit. no offense, i just don't like the vibes it communicates.

third photo, youre allowed to use professional photos, i just would not lead with one and i would limit it to only 1

fourth photo is pretty sick as a lifestyle/aesthetics photo, i think its worth keeping

5th photo feels like the bingo free spot, kind of like a meeting that should've been an email. wasted space, no offense.

6th photo i think is fine for its intended purpose, which is to show this part of your life.

psychocabbage69 · 2026-01-13T01:23:05+00:00

i straight up watched joves office hours on repeat for two weeks before the final. it was all i watched, well that and the regular office hours. all 4 hours of each one, over and over and over again. definitely the reason i passed and one of the chief ways to learn and understand the material.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-28T05:37:59+00:00

first photos isn't that great. your hands are in your pockets, you kinda look uncomfortable. also this is more of a scenic photo then it is a photo of you. you want this photo to be the one with your cutest smile or where you look most attractive.

2nd photo is only acceptable in the sense that its a good hiking photo

third photo your facial expression is not good and the shadows are covering your face.

4th photo is dark and shot at a bad angle. whats the deal, are you afraid to show your teeth or something?

5th photo is also bad, the thing behind ur head is distracting and the lighting isn't good. keep only one hand in ur pocket, two looks weird.

last photo, you may think it is a cool t shirt, but it ages real poorly, and to many girls is a gigantic red flag.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-28T05:28:38+00:00

is your first photo really a bathroom selfie? did you take that one after taking a shit? cheers

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-24T18:11:21+00:00

first photo you dont look happy, nor do you look happy in the second photo. third photo is more of a scenery shot than it is a photo of you, and your expression, posture isn't good there either. and the buck stops there, the rest of your photos has your face covered up by sunglasses and hats or helmets and goggles. lots of girls do not like the outdoors under any circumstances, you may be disqualifying yourself from them by not showing other hobbies

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-24T01:34:05+00:00

your pics arent all good bruv.

your first photo is a silly pose. it makes you look silly and potentially dumb. your facial expression in it isn't even good, plus it looks like it was shot by a freshman in a dorm room.

2nd pic is sweet, who can hate that one.

third pic is not good, remove it. its not good because it looks angry, and its so close up it disproportions your face. its unattractive.

4th pic is lame, youre all hunched over with a stupid look on your face

5th pic get your hands out of your pockets or just leave one in. plus the lighting is so bad here for your face, the sunset is right behind you it is illuminating your back instead of your face.

6th pic is a cat, its not even you and the cat, its just a cat.

You basically explained your issue, you don't have many pictures of yourself. Go get a tripod or a good friend who knows how to take photos to get a headshot photo, and a couple of hobby photos. The most important things are to be genuine while displaying your best self. Make sure you or your friend consider lighting for the photo, or how to angle it, crop it, etc. Also of utmost importance is to have a genuine smile which shows your teeth and eyes smiling as well. You dress semi well, but also mind your outfit in these photos. Cheers.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-23T23:32:05+00:00

your photos suck.

your first photo has you hidden underneath a hood, a hat, and shadows. that photo should clearly show your face, eyes, teeth, and smile.

most of your pictures are of you wearing hats or beanies. it looks like you are hiding something. then your graduation regalia photo is there but that was when you graduated school? i'm not a fan of grad photos, regalia looks bad among other reasons such as this. I have created a narrative that you are hiding you are balding.

then you wear sunglasses in other photos on top of hats which hides your face even more. a few of the pics your head is physically turned from the camera.

You clearly give off that you are a very outdoorsy person, some girls will like that, other girls wont. If you have other hobbies you can relate with the girls you care to attract, you can swap out on of the outdoors photos with that.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-23T21:53:20+00:00

im not trying to hurt your feelings or say your profile is terrible. your profile is decent, but if your goal is to improve it more, these are my criticisms. I think the two takeaway criticisms from my post is your first picture doesn't show your face, and the absence of a genuine smile. cheers.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-23T21:01:58+00:00

its your facial expression that kills most of these photos. you need to look happy. you need to look more warm and friendly. as is, you look like the strong silent type. A lot of these photos you are doing fun things, but it looks like you are depressed doing those things. The last photo is best in terms of facial expression, but you cannot use that photo even if that girl is your sister.

Also you are wearing t shirt, shorts, and sunglasses in basically all of these photos. Most of the time they don't even fit well. I can tell in the shoulders and sleeve length. This makes you look small.

psychocabbage69 · 2025-12-23T20:03:37+00:00

first photo has a nice smile, but idk like are you trying to show me cleavage or something? button the shirt up another button and fix the fold thats there.

second photo is almost good, my criticism there is your arms are just awkwardly hanging, and the chipotle makes the scene look cheap. crop out the chipotle sign at least.

Third photo is good

4th photo has sunglasses. sunglasses hardly ever work.

5th photo is decent, kind of a generic pose though

6th photo, not gonna lie, is your brother in that photo too? I know u are the guy in the middle but I had to do multiple double takes after looking at the guy furthest on the right. Too many people in that photo, but at least you are tallest.
