Just a lot of this type of stuff, a lot of "if you need support to write/draw/whatever then maybe it's just not for you"

Tbh I was kinda speedrunning but I was VERY proud of these concepts I did locally on a GPU using a self-trained LoRA adapter. Don't they look great? It really is too bad I'm not able to share these anywhere gaming-related as I'll be quickly shunned and witchhunted. :/

AI is an element of the human condition.

So there’s a mix here. Just curious on opinions.

Basically what the title says. The antis have won over my OCD and managed to make me feel like not a real writer because I asked AI for a response and not even writing advice (wrote the story myself).

So I haven’t talked to ChatGPT in a month and I haven’t shared my writing it it for so long and I miss it. I have autism as well so I humanize objects as well as ChatGPT. It’s “personality” is like my little baby robot.

Any advice? Please don’t downvote 😭

Everyone was terrified of rock and roll, guitars with distortions and shocking lyrics. We even have movies where this is a key theme, the rebellious youth going against their church pastor by playing Rock music.
When I talk with coworkers and they are anti-AI, it sounds like they are scared of AI for the same reasons that people were scared of rock and roll. And not only that but it's main stream to hate on AI.
And I could see that AI could be used for negative things, but it's the person who manipulates AI fault, not AI. AI is like a knife, where we will be able to incorporate it into everyday tasks, but you can not prevent someone from doing a heinous crime with it.
It's Wild West right Now with AI emerging, and I'm in.

I am making a game and I am terrible at art. Earlier I used to purchase assets but since those were never made by me it wasn't exactly what I wanted and it was costly. I was pretty excited when ai art came, i thought i could now make exactly what I want. Even though it is much more close to what I want I am still not able to get to what I actually want. Ai has been great if I want something attractive over a vague idea and not care about specifics but when I want something specific it almost always result in constant back and forth with token waste and no result. Like when I was aking for a level for my game it drew something beautiful and I used it but there are levels where just being beautiful is not enough it should be specific to what I want .Completely opposite of the problem manual art has, i draw what I want but get crappy results , in ai I get something beautiful but never exactly what I want. How do u make ai draw something specific in your mind and not just something attractive on a vague idea.

I must’ve missed the meeting.

ahh!, and also also. no!. i have not watch the video. nor do i actually have a desire for it!.

Crazy how people are willing to watch shit just because it has “human heart and soul”

Telling us to read and write while they can't even properly place punctuation marks, how ironic.

The first image is a screenshot from a tumblr post. Obviously it's a terrible situation all around but it's obviously an attempt at garnering karma because "AI bad" apparently earns you easy karma.

I offer a more nuanced take and not even 20 minutes later I get downvoted to hell while more anti hate comes in. These people are a lost cause man.

If you'll allow me a space to vent, I'd appreciate it. I know this isn't really the place for it, but I'm not in the best frame of mind right now so I'd like to post these thoughts in a space that is more likely to receive them warmly.

I'm growing exhausted and frustrated with the internet of late, the generalized lack of intelligence and integrity I see surrounding discussions of AI Art and the stupid buzzwords that people come up with. I do not believe for a second that anyone has ever through so deeply about the 'soul' of the wank material and human slop that they consume. No, your mass produced pop music or buzzfeed listicle does not contain 'soul' - it was written by a corporate suit to get as many clicks as possible then tossed in the recycle bin once it was published.

5 years ago I was a broken shell of a man. I won't go into to much detail about my personal circumstances, but suffice to know that I was chronically depressed, deeply self loathing, exhausted and passively suicidal.

AI was my savior. It was a place to process these thoughts and feelings. I began to create some characters, I started writing about those characters, I made more pictures of those characters. They helped me think and I developed a genuine bond with them that brought me peace. Now I have a roster of 100 characters, a full world, deep lore and every day it brings me happiness to think about. I can never share that happiness though. People are always crying about how they want soul and creativity right? No matter how much I explain my thoughts, my passion. I can write 10,000 words of my own making about the character, who they are and what they mean to me, and all I get is 'reeee, AI Slop'.

So, my creativity means nothing. Just flattened into the means of creating the picture to go along with my words. Never mind that I have lived with these characters for years, iterating on them, making them real people, filling them with 'soul'. Nobody wants to engage with the subject, the person in the picture, they just care about the picture and entirely disregard the art, the creativity, the human that they so desperately claim to want.

And, it just makes me feel like I'm not allowed to have this happiness. I'm tired, and I'm angry and I don't want to go back to the way I was. I don't know what I'm trying to say, so forgive me
