AI chuds that think AI will "level the playing field" are going to get absolutely SMOKED if the thing they *think* they want (artists to start using AI) actually happens.
Skilled pros using cheat codes?
"Prompt Engineers" will get smoked. Obliterated. Savagely outpaced.
This shit hole is no better than Truth Social at this point, if it's to be the mouth piece for a party that'd be just fine with people like me being dead.
Will you find me on Mastodon? Fuck if I care. The internet is a hollow lonely place no matter how you slice it nowadays.
Every time I think about nuking my social media accounts, I wonder if it's just withdrawing from depression or hate for how the internet ended up, and realize this is at least in part the latter causing the former.
There should be a statistical or psychological term for finally getting your burned out mind in gear on some work/study, only to immediately get a phone call. It has to be more than coincidence.
@AntonHand Yup, likely the same. So much depression and anxiety that are probably just untreated ADD, SSRIs and SNRIs don't do shit except kill libido and make me extra tired.
You know what blows? Having whole categories of medication barred from you, that could possibly help your stupid broken brain, because you also have had a substance abuse problem.
I'm sober these days and in good control of that, but I won't lie, I'm not healthy. Nothing like going through the pain of finding yourself on the other side of addiction, only to realize your baseline state is miserable.
One of the greatest thrills I know by creating art, is that it is a perpetual unveiling of truth through process. How do I really see something? How does it reflect me? A lens into perception, that if I just got the end piece without the work, would be kept hidden from me.
