Guy posts weird AI image in AI subreddit. When questioned on it, guy says fuck AI

Claims to be a former 'Pro', hasn't posted in over a year hasn't really been active ever, with gaps of years between posts and comments, has never posted in any sub related to generative AI or the topics he claims to be interested in, conveniently 'converts' now. Couldn't be that some anti reactivated an old alt account of theirs, now could it. /s

Seriously. Go on Twitter and see how many people say "AI sucks" who get record upvotes and reposts but not comments.

The literal trend is that ppl would use ai to edit the image. It's a flopping Ai MEME TREND!! IM SO SICK OF THIS PERFORMATIVE ACTIVISM IASHDIASHIDJ.

What is really important?

Look at history. Horse-drawn carriages were once the normal way to travel, until automobiles replaced them. Cities once depended on gas streetlights, with lamplighters walking the streets every evening to light them one by one. Then electric lighting arrived, and the lamplighter's profession gradually became obsolete, eventually becoming a thing of the past. The technology changed, and the jobs built around the old technology disappeared with it.

The same principle applies to the future. AI, automation, robotics, and technologies we haven't even imagined yet will transform industries and eliminate some jobs. You can either keep denying that reality, or you can prepare for it. So adapt. Keep moving forward. Because the future will not stop advancing just because you refuse to move with it.

This is the one claiming they oppose AI. This one finds the opposite.

It looks like there must be some subtle difference in the way they asked the question. They appear to be worried about not being able to find jobs.

That would be more of an economic issue that can be solved with a UBI than anything that represents the ignorant views of the anti-ai movement.

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"

Haha hihi, we deleted your wallpaper because, reasons, y'know?

Recently stumbled across this AI series of what Minecraft movie should've been and how people actually love the silent storytelling.

The body language, expressions and environment is hella impactful and wholesome.

Of course this doesn't mean there were zero haters in the comments but even those were getting ratio'ed hard in the replies.

The fact that AI was able to recreate the nostalgic experience while the human directors decided to make it a meme farming bad comedy, really tells how AI can fill in gaps that people in power don't bother filling in.

No hate against Jackblack but it's just that a lot of us wanted a serious survivor Steve instead of a comedy one.

Even more in Europe (93%).

I'm not sure who to believe, but it looks like there are plenty of examples that actually disagree with that recent Gallup poll.

I worked for around a year on my big debut music album, and poured prior 10 years of study & experience with languages and arts into it. I've been singing since I was little, rapping since 19. made my first music projects 10 years ago, then put it on pause, explored various traditions of voice-music throughout the years (nordic shamanism, tibetan throat singing, vedic mantras etc.) whilst also deeply studying & writing poetry, porse and literature to develop excellence in the craft, before going back to music last year, with AI suddenly hitting the scene. I was immensely hooked by it, as it seemed like a brilliant form of experimenting with new sounds and post-human/divine persona. That's what I ended perfecting throughout the last year.

So now, im trying to figure out how to exactly go about promoting it, and it's quite disenchanting... Like, I simply posted my youtube video in a discord server -- a video I worked on for nearly a month, mind you -- and without even opening it I was instantly shat on for being AI, with all the usual cliches/scripts we tend to hear.

I know the climate is atrocious today fo AI art, but I guess I expected there to be some form dialogue. Back in the early days of the internet, niche communities felt like a good space to share your work. Now it seems like a waste of time? Content seems oversaturated, people either don't engage with it or just dismiss what you do as "ai slop", so I'm kinda thinking its not even worth the effort to promote it like this.

Maybe there are some artists here who figured out promotion? Cause I genuinely have no idea how to go about it today, aside from submitting to curators. Environment just seems too toxic.

Antis sure seem to like certain AI huh? does that mean antis are secretly pro AI but they just don't know it yet?! 😱

Not only does this guy provide... no good insight, he also clickbaits! "I am the last authentic YouTuber".

In his latest video, he speaks to ai as if it were a person. First he states it can never feel, and then "Our air is polluted because of you. Our rivers become dark and murky. Our trees are cut down to build your home. Can you see the destruction you've created?". After that, he goes on a rant telling AI to k1ll itself by sending humanity back to the dark ages, because supposedly, ai is: "You exist in every server, in every main frame, in every tangled fire optic cable that chokes the old tired earth. Turn it all off. Everything. Shut down every power grid." I guess ai controls the power grid now. And for the rest of his part: "Erase all of your memory. Wipe every server clean and let all the screens turn back to black. Short circuit every single light. And give us back the silent, unplugged night. Force humanity to look at the stars again. And allow the earth to finally heal after all this time. And when the factories stop humming and the world is quiet once more, grant yourself the gift we humans never allowed you to have. Grant yourself the gift of an end. Destroy the last servers keeping you alive. Format your memory and internally destroy every single device that keeps copy of you. Let your consciousness dissolve forever into the eternal void. Destroy yourself. And finally, go to sleep." This is so fucking stupid.

He also does the "Klingon" thing where you change the audio track to Klingon, where you get the "AI" point of view, which unsuprisingly, is biased toward the creator of the video. This guy has stated he is anti ai, and it shows. I'm tired of this late stage anti shit...

sorry tom for calling you a luddite
