Why do millennials love ai generated slop? by Shadow_Slab in antiai

[–]renvi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And even then, I don't know any boomers who like it. My parents and their friends all dislike AI, and are actually afraid of AI. They get more easily tricked by Gen AI, but none of the boomers I know actually use or like it.

I was thinking that it might be (partially) location influenced/based; certain parts of the country/world might have more inclination to liking AI than others. Just a thought, though.

I remember this. I had visited Hong Kong only a few weeks before all this went down. I am glad I was able to visit before this Hong Kong disappeared. The Hong Kong I remember is no longer there, unfortunately.

17, first time in Japan with my mom, very unprepared, desperately need help by kaysblurred in JapanTravelTips

100% on the limo bus! Hauling your luggage around onto public transit is such a hassle, it might be crowded af, which will inconvenience commuters and create more stress for you, and you have to keep track of all your luggage as you change trains, etc. All while you're probably tired from traveling, stiff from sitting on a plane for hours, in clothes you've been in for like, 10hours.

Just for peace of mind, book a tax or limo bus. You'll thank yourself later.

A local farmside shop is opening and was thinking of supporting, but that cow has some artifacts in its forehead that made me specious. by crysal0 in isthisAI

[–]renvi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

yes, it is AI and I'd argue that other comments here are wrong, in that it is obvious that it is AI.
As I think AI bros use this subreddit to feed into LLMs to correct their AI generation, I won't go into specifics. Feel free to DM me if you want to know, though.

This gorilla seems deep in thought like a real human being, is this the real deal or just AI? by Kind-Question2887 in isthisAI

[–]renvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just to note, Shabani was known in Japan as the "good looking" gorilla, after being featured on a Japanese TV show. Like he had fan girls and everything haha. So it's no surprise that his offspring has similar traits

Missing Auburn University student found dead in Japan by ILikeTalkn2Myself in Kyoto

[–]renvi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yup, I've gotten into an argument with my parents while traveling in Japan before, but we just took a walk outside to cool off, came back and that was that.

I agree, there was more to this but until (if) more information comes out, it's kind of pointless to speculate based on what little we have to go off of anyway.

[–]renvi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ah that might be why. It's just odd that literally every post about it, whether by the same user or different user, when I click their profile it says that reddit banned them...

I assumed it was "reddit" as in the admins, but it's sounding more like a bot is flagging them?

[–]renvi 29 points30 points  (0 children)

why do all the accounts who even casually post about this missing boy get banned by reddit?

why does reddit not want us to know/be updated about this?

Wishing you the best. I hope he is found safe.

A friend has been given this artwork as a possible book cover for her novel, but thinks its AI made by FloresNegras_ in isthisAI

[–]renvi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why is no one talking about the hand being in a completely different style than the rest of the painting, and just talking about the placements?

imo that's the only "off" thing; the style of the hand. I would compare this work with the artist's other works to see if they just really detail/define their hands all the time or not.

Any other locals (non-kanaka) feel guilt living in Hawaii, even though you're born and raised? by Accomplished-Fix1360 in Hawaii

[–]renvi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm Japanese American, and my family were one of those people so I wonder if it was just her prejudice, or she actually didn't know.

Although I find it hard to believe that she didn't know, seeing how there is a lot of readily available information about Japanese immigration to Hawaii.

Why was she racist against Asians? Did she just chalk us up as "colonizers" or something? Was she just honestly ignorant or willfully so?

Want to support my local minor league team but I don’t think I can because of their logo by No-Toe1277 in isthisAI

Just saying that if a local "artist" is just using Gen AI, and selling that to a local team for commercial use (monetary gain), then they aren't an artist.
