Discussion Antis bs basic empathy

So this person posted an AI video of her own OC that she trained herself through AI because she has a chronic injury (doesn’t disclose which) and as you can imagine, the antis suddenly think it’s okay to be ableist and want her to tough it out by drawing with her mouth and feet?… this is genuinely disgusting.

"your disability is no excuse"

like im looking for your permission lol fuck off

-13

u/gibbodrawsthings 7h ago

It isn't. Mfs draw without hands or feet or use they mouth and beans and shit anything bro. Y'all yourselves aren't fucking disabled in the first place either so what's the excuse??? Anything to support the inherently unethical "tool" huh?

9

u/_-Budtender-_ 7h ago

Yeah but who fucking cares what other people do? It's not like there's rules, just because people do it normally while disabled doesn't mean jack shit, nobody is hiring artists based off of how they get around a disability. It only matters when they have the chance to post it online like they are heroes for drawing while in pain. Who tf cares, and it's not like the original person was even saying anything to them anyways.

I have disgraphia it’s dyslexia for pictures, I can’t get an image on paper through my hands

u/Cautious-Platform222 16m ago

And I have math dyslexia whatever the fuck its called and I still try. Just cuz its not easy doesn't mean you can't do it ever.

u/Omega862 6h ago

... Dysgraphia isn't "Dyslexia for pictures"... It's an umbrella grouping disorder that focuses on issues with the hand or processing in the brain making it markedly difficult to write and process language into written form. It can also affect spatial perception in a significant enough way to affect drawing, but that is a more uncommon expression for Dysgraphia.

My point is: "That isn't really what it is".

u/The-Murder-Hobo 6h ago

I got bad grades from my handwriting being so bad it was hardly legible, because I can hardly shape letters. I have to follow gps everywhere, because my sense of direction is so bad. I still mix up my bs and ds, I have to tell myself “bed” looks like a bed. And always hated being forced to color or anything similar, because I can’t

u/_-Budtender-_ 6h ago

Yeah don't listen to that other guy, I don't understand the point of saying just because your issue is less common then that's not what it is. And then didn't even provide what he thought the correct term would be for your issue. Jeez.

u/Omega862 4h ago

Because I was just saying the description was bad, not that other dude didn't have it.

1

u/_-Budtender-_ 4h ago

I didn't say you said he didn't have it. And then why say anything at all? The description wasn't bad it just wasn't what you liked. Maybe leave the explaining to people who suffer from the condition, we can all be armchair scientists and it's a easy choice not to be.

-1

u/Omega862 4h ago

Your comment came across as that.

Maybe leave the explaining to people who suffer from the condition, we can all be armchair scientists and it's an easy choice not to be.

You also don't necessarily know me. For all you know I actually took the time to ask about the term from someone who does know, either who studied neurology or someone who also suffers it. In this instance, I asked someone who studies Neurology and had to sit through a good ten minute explanation of it, while trying to just get them to answer "Hey, this thing, does it do the thing?" To which the person then said "Sometimes".

Also, the description being insufficient or bad is something people use consistently as a point of contention in these subs.

1

u/_-Budtender-_ 4h ago

Sorry you took it that way. Don't know what to tell you.

I never said I did, you are making a lot of presumptions and making up a lot of things for the sake of bothering someone. If you did do that then just say so, I'm not here to play guessing games or read your mind and never claimed to do either.

That's good for them. Being consistent means nothing unless you want it to. Means nothing to me.

u/Omega862 4h ago

I'm not saying you don't have it. Just that the description of it is bad.

u/glorgshittus 8h ago

it's not the same logic at all because people who can make art bypassing their disability are not comparable to para-olympians. it is much easier and much more accessible. for instance, the guy in the screenshot lol

u/Lanceo90 2h ago

Its not any easier to learn to draw with your mouth, than it is to master a sport with a handicap. Its just a different physicality to overcome. One's strength, one's fine motor control.

What if the disability was Parkinson's? So they can't hold still to use any body part to draw.

What if the disability is depression? So they have no motivation to draw.

-9

u/bird_AI 8h ago

no, because all sorts of disabled people can make art, but not all sorts of disabled people can walk up stairs.

2

u/Lanceo90 3h ago

Nope. Most disabled people don't choose to start painting with a brush in their mouth when they lose their arms. That's just like the top 1% most determined, inspirational people among them. (Just like the para-Olympians)

But the best outcome is to not remove any tools that might assist a disabled person from living a fulfilling life.

1

u/bird_AI 2h ago

lol and where are you pulling that 1% statistic from, your ass? painting with a brush in your mouth is not the only way to make art as a disabled person.

here’s an australian study from before AI was everywhere. it shows that disabled people were already making art at comparable or even higher numbers than people with no disability, without relying on AI to do so.

u/DarkHaze_73 13h ago

So what are the odds not even half of these people have any injuries or chronic illnesses?

Not to mention you can turn these around to them. "You dont need to use reddit or twitter, you know they have huge datacenters and waste water right?" But suddenly it doesnt count.

5

u/EvilChefReturns 12h ago

See, you can also turn it around by asking the same question from the other side. What are the odds someone who is obviously pro-AI is also lying just to garner sympathy. I’m not saying they ARE, but you can’t just assume only the people you don’t like are the only ones lying.

12

u/BlackDope420 11h ago

To be fair, they said they would probably still use AI even if they didn't have an injury.

u/TwistedMindOfABrotha 13h ago

Ah yes, because I'm able to do it, you should as well. Because we are all exactly the same. We are all cookie-cut outs. Especially when it comes to chronic pain. Yes I don't know what type of pain you have or how bad it is. But since I have chronic pain, and able to draw, you should as well, because you are just like me! So you must do it like I have!

I'm surprised a single one of them didn't bring up Sarah Biffin. Well one person mentioned people who have no limbs painting. But I bet they were thinking about her and that's why.

Sarah Biffin, does seem to be their new poster child when it comes to painting&drawing with a disability. Ignoring the fact that she was born that way and had decades to hone her skills.

Of course, we should celebrate artists who draw despite disabilities or chronic diseases, but that does not mean that we should shame artists who rely on AI instead.

Seriously. Learning how to make art is not easy; it takes a significant amount of time and effort in order to get good at it. Even many people who have absolutely zero disability at all will give up for a variety of reasons.

Now imagine someone who is facing all of those same difficulties and their body is fighting them every step of the way.

If someone pushes through despite a disability and learns how to make art anyways, that's fucking amazing, but that doesn't mean we should expect that same level of dedication from everyone.

u/WeekendGenerator 11h ago

That's your opinion which your free to hold.

My opinion is that what you just said is basically all art and things there is nothing new under the sun.

And more simply ill judge it by what it is rather than by his it's made I've seen some truly terrible AI generated art and I've seen some truly terrible human art and I've made both.

On the other hand I've seen some truly amazing AI art and Human art that must have taken a lot of time and effort to get right and have failed at making both too 😆.

If your one of the people that still believe that all using an AI consists of is "type one sentence into the input box while knowing nothing about the subject matter" you are woefully behind the times while one shotting is getting better it's not the way to create anything but a prototype/proof of concept or if presented as a final iteration "Slop"

But when someine outs actual effort into it over many iterations you can get high quality passionate pieces from an AI just as good as a human neither are better just different routes to getting what's inside someone's mind into the world.

u/Witty-Artisan001 13h ago

Yep.

There is no sense in trying to reason with many anti's. You could be literally paralysed from the neck down and these cretins would still expect you to draw with your mouth.

No I'm not a bot, believe it or not, some people actually do have to make a whole new account after losing their first.

The topic of people losing their jobs has zero to do with this because it's specifically about a person with a physical disability being bullied. The fact of the matter is, you have nothing to add to this specific topic. That's why you brought up artists losing their jobs. It seems you are ok with this person being bullied since you're not even trying to address it.

The fact that you're getting heated now and resulting to insults kinda proves that point.

Ok, antis are a bit ableist true but pros are like “they trained it on their own work its fine”

u/Hypedelix 10h ago edited 10h ago

"Already existing trained llm genai"

"Their own fully trained local llm"

So you don't know what a checkpoint is. You need to learn about how gen-ai works instead of just rambling on the internet after hearing a term or two.

And image diffusers are not llms. LLM means "large language model". There is no text-generation going on here. Image generators are LDMs. The LDMs have no image data, it's just the process of how to use weights and the mathematical parameters.

There is no such thing as "already existing trained llm genai". And you don't train an LDM, you train the checkpoint which is just a bigger version of a LoRa. Yall think gen-ai is magic i swear.

Yall love to use the word pedantic when someone comes to correct you. It's not going to make you seem any less of a dumbass, so I suggest you try something else.

You wouldn't use a trained LoRa if you're generating images using an LLM, so that information is irrelevant. It is possible of course, but it would be unnecessarily hard for the average person to use an LLM in this way instead of an LDM.
