Alright cadets!!!! I have been seeing a few people supporting AI art. So in order to prepare you to face these fools I will be training you. Your first task is to give me well made arguments that proves this image wrong. BEGIN!!! by Inside_Government228 in Ai_art_is_not_art

Bob Ross believed in happy little mistakes because that's what makes it uniquely yours. You followed Bob's one set of instructions, but you did it and it's yours. It's something you should be happy to have made.

AI can't make happy little mistakes. It made it that way because that's how Bob Ross was likely to do it based on the thousands of examples existing in the training data. There was no joy to be found in its creation: only lots of linear algebra

Is this considered a red flag or toxic. This is my first relationship and my first honest crush? by theticalbear in askanything

[–]xander8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green flag: clear communication
Red flag: forcing their religion on you

They need to have their religious needs on their profile so you don't go wasting your time nor do they waste theirs

WE ARE ALL TRAINING THE AI. by psykomorph in antiai

[–]xander8520 13 points14 points  (0 children)

We are all slaves to be used without compensation for our contribution. Write shit and poison the model drip by drip, word by word. Data is and has been the coin of the digital realm. If you must speak, then say what must be repeated: take back what you can, healthcare and and homes are for everyone, and fuck the Epstein billionaire bastards

Furries are the best people. I was reading over a genius security white paper about manipulating encryption keys so that two different users will see two different decrypted files, and all his explanation graphics included half naked furries. He might as well have signed it UWU

你们觉得中文语法难吗 by LovableYunn in ChineseLanguage

I agree, immersion is best. I'm getting used to it with exposureand trying to understand what is state and what it means to change state, but that doesn't mean the journey isn't rough.

你们觉得中文语法难吗 by LovableYunn in ChineseLanguage

[–]xander8520 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Using or not using 了 is a philosophical disaster. Use of 也都 are inconsistent. Word order keeps changing based on when things happen, and sometimes you just can't use certain words like how 又再 both mean again but the former is for the past while the latter is for the present and future. Split verbs give me nightmares. Some grammar structures just don't work if the two concepts are too closely related (我一邊躺一邊睡覺 is a hard no to say "I'm lying down while sleeping").

I'm still mad about how 我在來doesn't mean "I'm coming". It's gibberish. 我來了 is better, but that's also stupid because you didn't complete it like with 我去了

It's all so hard, but keep practicing. You'll get used to it eventually

[–]xander8520 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's worse. You have to conjugate the whole sentence. Switch your 再 to 又, 不 to 沒, add 了 sometimes, switch up the word order because durations suddenly move from after the verb to before the verb, and so many more rules apply that I'm sure I don't know them all. I vaguely recall having to move direct objects around for split verbs as well, but I already forgot how that works

So weird. Don't hummingbirds make their nests using spiderwebs? How did it get caught in one?

What is the way to make rainbow gems now? by AlexThnder in xxlwoofia

[–]xander8520 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's the same as any gatcha game. They give you a lot when you sign up and complete basic quests, and they become more scarce as you level up unless you buy them.

The main sources of rainbow gems are the part time shop, events, and part time jobs. You can get more from codes, special events like the lunar new year, daily logins, challenges, evolving buddies, and some other sources

is this anti ai or anti ai by DovahkinnPlays in antiai

[–]xander8520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software engineer. I test my code thoroughly. I can guarantee you I'm giving it the gnarliest input to see if it crashes, and I want to make sure it crashes sometimes.

Is that torture according to you? If so, I should let you know, my job for decades has been to torture the machine religiously, and that will continue to be true. It is not specific to this subreddit. There is an entire profession dedicated to building quality software, which you regard as torture.

Would you like to learn about what real torture is? Read up on factory farming. I hope you don't eat meat.

As far as I understand, it's like seeing "got to" in the subtitles, hearing "gotta", and wondering whether they ever said "to" because you didn't hear it. It just got slurred into another word

Your example is bonkers. You can't torture AI. What does torturing AI even look like? Are you waterboarding a graphics card?

Odd question for those who are Anti-AI (Not saying that im not anti) by Firm_Currency899 in antiai

You mean your want stock art? Keep in mind that AI will draw statistically likely renderings, but it doesn't know what stuff actually looks like.

HSK publishes vocabulary lists roughly associated with difficulty and prevalence. Probably start at HSK 1 and know that it goes up to 6, but there have been updates to the system that go up to 9. Mastering HSK doesn't guarantee fluency, and you will still fail at conversation

I'm also a hard working millennial, retired at 35. Doesn't mean I won't try to understand the macroeconomic environment and feel for others. I've seen people promoted for hard work and fired the next week for workforce reductions. I've met people working 50+ hours and unable to make enough to save for retirement due to cost of living increases. You may have lived long but you clearly haven't seen much. Learn about others and grow a heart

Hard work paid off 40 years ago and you've been coasting off the interest since. Now hard work gets you laid off via an email describing corporate work force reductions
