@heisgrey_@DeltyThe73rd I have met people that are just anxious around other people, I don't think it has to do with the fact that it's a girl. I know someone that avoids doing groceries for as long as possible because they start to shake when they have to interact with the cashier.
@AlbarnsDemon And you don't even need to grind to be overleveled, if you try to do a nuzlocke on any game later than ORAS it'll be very annoying to keep your pokemon from overleveling
Little rant about my experience as an artist and how I see AI bros' behavior
When I was a kid, I was called a gifted kid because I could draw, and it fascinated both classmates and Adults. I'm sure a lot of fellow artists had a similar experience, since it was quite rare to see irl especially before socials became so widespread. Some were envious, some simply curious, and some trying to befriend me to get free art even then.
Honestly I didn't mind the ego boost, but I noticed a repeated pattern of "I wish I could do that!" "you're so lucky you can draw" "you're so talented, unlike me", dismissing their own skills or insisting they couldn't do anything. Adults said something fun wasnt a real job, that I should think of getting a job like theirs instead.
Now in the era of AI 'art', those same persons who used to envy artists have an easy access to an illusion of talent and skill. They spit on the stolen work of every artist whose art has been fed into AI to flatter their fragile ego and look down on artists. They say artists will loose their jobs and get replaced, when they don't even understand why that's false or what it takes.
But the truth is they cope, they stay in the comfort of denial, saying THEY created the results AI give them. Saying prompting is a skill, because they want it to be one. They'd kill to do the same as artists, to have a passion, a talent, to captivate people and get praised for something they created with their own hands. To make money out of their passion.
But besides AI bros boosting each other's egos, no one will genuinely compliment AI 'art'. And if anyone did, upon learning it was AI they'll take it back because it has no value at all. It's stolen, empty, and made with no passion or love whatsoever (and probably a ton of mistakes up close too)
I just think it's sad because anyone can draw well. It just takes practice, but they're not even willing to try. Instead, they just hide behind insults and superior complex. Behind a false sense of achievement.
NO ARTIST will ever say "you have no skill, you suck" to someone genuinely trying to get into art. The art community is very welcoming, just pick up the pen and have fun with us!
@TheMG3D And yet it's immediately being used for LITERALLY, every bad thing it could possibly be used for. Bad commercials and adds, bad music, trash art, deep faking, scamming.
@TheMG3D Giving birth to drawing. You take away the human element and what do you have left, a hollow copy of other artists art, devoid of any expression and most of the time with nonsensical flaws that no human would ever make. Ai is such an intriguing tool with so much potential
@ritamariamatias E quando você diz que não devia haver aborto mesmo no caso de uma criança violada aos 10 anos é o cancro cerebral a falar?
Tenha você juízo.
