Still got blocked, in spite of being completely civil and just wanting to get a better grasp of her reasoning.
Oh well. π€·ββοΈ

@pokemerrp@chaoticAugustus I don't understand being so adamant about trying to 'not normalize it', but when people, some of which are also openly anti-ai, point out that being overly extreme is just going to normalize it faster, you downplay, deflect, and get snarky with them.
@masbas5367@SaucyDamo@bloomjpg Not sure what you're trying to point to there, but it doesn't matter. Just because it wasn't your choice, doesn't make it bad for you. If G2 is that apathetic and corpo-culture to it's own team publicly, I'd hate to know how rotted it is on the inside.
May he find much better.π
@ParadoxVirtual Yeah, the TOS stuff is garbage too. You can protect your rights without stamping on your customers, but some are too self centered to understand that.
Lot of bad people who are artists out there, and a lot of good ones too, but the bad ones leave a lasting taste in your mouth.
@masbas5367@SaucyDamo@bloomjpg When a woman gets out of a toxic relationship because he dumped her, did the man win?
No. Because that's not how that works.
Congrats, more like.
@PatoNintendista I've come to realize that most people aren't critical at all. Jingling keys will do the trick most the time.
They revel in the "no questions, only consume" state of the industry, and proudly proclaim we're the ones with the problem for the crime of having any standards at all.
@araisan_udon The "Big Walk" situation shows why we need to shed light on this thinking. It is being review bombed because they used AI to find an error that no one could fix. A miniscule involvement in a difficult situation, yet people blindly hate them for it. https://t.co/QWmX3efZsx
Imagine sitting down to the most delicious stack of pancakes you've ever eaten.
Fluffy. Golden brown. Perfectly cooked. You finish the entire plate, compliment the chef, and tell everyone how incredible breakfast was.
Then somebody whispers, "You know they used AI to help develop that recipe, right?"
Suddenly you're gagging, demanding a refund, and declaring the entire breakfast an insult to humanity. π
The chef still cooked it. The ingredients were real. The effort was real. You genuinely enjoyed every bite.
But apparently, discovering that AI contributed somewhere along the way retroactively poisoned the entire experience.
That's what I find fascinating about the backlash against AI-assisted creative work.
You can spend years building something, pour thousands of hours of human effort into it, and use AI for one small part of the process.
And for some people, that single detail invalidates everything else.
You're allowed to have ethical objections to AI. Absolutely.
But there's a difference between questioning how something was made and pretending everything good about it suddenly disappeared.
The pancakes didn't change. Your opinion did.
@araisan_udon They said the original art was their display picture, which is the one on the right. But yes, they were probably intentionally misleading, but I don't think the goal was as malicious as you seem to think.
@araisan_udon It's okay. Unfortunately I can only go by the translations as well.
I don't think the point is to mock them, but to shine a light on truth, if that makes sense.
@karatademada Yup, people unknowingly arguing against creativity's best interests.
But the powers that be also don't want commoners to have this kind of power either. You will see laws and paygates. AI will be made inaccessible and unfun for normal people.
Garbage on both ends.
@araisan_udon But I also think this may not be the best way to convey that, as the one on the left actually genuinely has a 'home-made' charm about it.
In a weird way it's kind of a reverse effect, where if you do actually like it more, you learn AI can apparently do that too. Win win.
@araisan_udon I don't think it's about the 'gotcha', I think people just make a fool of themselves by lying about what they find visually appealing, to others and potentially themselves, and I think recognizing that could be an important step in moving past all this.
