I make apps make art make anti-AI people angry by correcting misinformation

Anybody got any interest in a SaaS (not slideposter) with these figures?

had a few timewasters on trustmrr

another "rational" take from a mentally healthy human being

[katherine 🍉 🍉🍉 @toaster_rodeo]

if i were a famous person and i was asked about AI i would straight up say it looks like shit from an ass and everyone that uses should kill themselves

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@AshikaSef your first mistake is posting on reddit

why would you give clicks to a website where speech on the top 100 most popular subreddits is dictated by ~8 power tripping incels?

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

"it's not real art because you used an app"

[Sr Freak© @SrFreak_]

This is what we call GPS art with the Superman logo 🦸‍♂️🗺️

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@CharlesHorwood @ostakoth @Rahll show me a single example where I instigated the insults

you can't

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

see what I mean?

just constant misinformation and emotionally led drivel

I don't know how you can look at what people have achieved with AI (especially outside of the arts) and think it's a net negative for humanity

It has expedited research across multiple specialised fields including medicine and science, it has won nobel prizes in those fields

But talentless, sexually repressed, unhinged teenagers on twitter are upset it might steal their shitty oversexualised manga drawings

@CultureCrave "people don't want big ridiculous VFX-driven nonsense"

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

Just my extensive experience with both mediums: https://t.co/0xn4Vpt2Rt

Digital:

- undo button
- layers
- preset gradients
- preset brushes
- duplication
- opacity

all of those are digital shortcuts that remove the skill/talent required to achieve the same results manually in traditional mediums

@rahll understands this which is why he never refutes it

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@CharlesHorwood @ostakoth @Rahll people talk to me the way they do because they are mentally unwell

I respond in kind, you'll notice I'm never the one to instigate personal attacks

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@domi007 @snwy_me most infotainment systems don't have a power button, they just rely on ignition

a few of them have a "display off" button but it's rare to see on/off buttons for infotainment systems

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

AI isn't going away, the sooner you people learn to cope with that the better it'll be for your mental health

At no point in humanity have we ever released groundbreaking tech and then "unreleased" it

People are running local AI models in their bedrooms and you guys wanna sit around pretending it'll "go away" if you stamp your feet hard enough

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@OctorokR @a_luffa @ShitpostRock2 these takes always make me laugh

have you ever considered that maybe there's no motive and the artist just wasn't able to perfect their work?

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@trygraptor If AI is shutting off your brain when you're researching a topic, that says more about you and your ADHD than it does about the medium

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@lsxhome28 lol imagine thinking a minority of outspoken, talentless teens on the internet are going to put the genie back in the bottle for tech that has advanced countless industries, including nobel prizes in medical science within the span of 3 years

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@akahellcat_ Or they just stopped throwing their toys out the pram and stamping their feet and educated themselves like Keke clearly has

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@JPenumbra For anyone reading this, if you’re making money the money is real

Ignore the gatekeepers

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@ostakoth @Rahll Your insults are wasted

You’re poor I’m not

I’m talented you’re not

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

drawing is a skill

drawing digitally requires far less skill

erasing is different to an undo button, that's why the digital format has both

"you are making nothing for no one"

well the users of my apps seem to enjoy them and they keep paying each month to use them so I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

gradient done with watercolours requires skill

dragging a gradient tool doesn't require skill

traditional art has no 'undo' button

constantly crying about AI isn't helping your case - it's making me $5k a month, that's $5k a month you are leaving on the table while insulting other people's intelligence

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

@ostakoth @Rahll show me

[Jake @prettyusefulUI]

being able to tap a button to instantly duplicate something you drew is 100% automation and something you can't do with traditional mediums

using gradient tools is not something you can do with traditional mediums

using layers is not something you can do with traditional mediums

you're being disingenuous because it's your only art form, I've demonstrated I know what I'm talking about as someone that sells art in both forms.
