 Comic Strips@lemmy.world•A cartoonist's review of AI art - The Oatmeal
14·4 hours agoI went over this in an other comment a bit.
Real painting > digital painting > AI
I associate more value depending on skill level. All I’m saying is: if the pizza only taste like shit once you hear the opposite, the bad taste is in your head.
I do get that having the feeling one way leaves place to having the same type of feeling the other way. I guess it feels different though, hard to explain. It’s a valid sentiment in the end, it just feels a bit petty from my viewpoint.

13·5 hours agoIt’s emotional exaggeration the moment you try to compare it to a child imo.
My pizza analogy was spot on, if you want, you can talk about the pizza factory using a lot of energy, then I could explain how the energy grid is at fault. I could explain how one pizza factory services millions at the same time so the impact is actually very small compared to real climate change drivers like cars, planes and shipping boats. There would be place to mention how AI is actually using energy that wasn’t necessarily expected and it’s worsening the grid which was already shit to begin with and making transition to green energy more difficult.
But you just went hardcore “think of the children” to try and frame AI as the greatest evil. Republican type tactics tbh.
What’s funny is no one gives a fuck where their shoes come from but they have been trained to care really really hard about the big bad AI.

No need to lash out if you misunderstood.

There’s a websites where you can guess if random artwork is AI or not, I invite you to test your own skill. It has become very hard to tell for a while now.

 No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is re-visiting a location where you had a traumatic experience a good idea? Have anyone done it?
1·3 hours agoSo take this with a huge grain of salt but maybe a half step would be having someone take videos of the location and then viewing those. It might help you get a feel for it.
I have no idea if this is a valid idea, mostly basing it off of vets wearing VR headsets a few years back to try and cure ptsd.

83·7 hours agoNone of that would be happening if the dems hadn’t put oligarchs and a foreign genocidal nation before their constituents.
Sure we could pat them on the back and tell them none of it is their fault, but each time we give them slack, they hang themselves with it. Better to keep up the pressure, especially when it’s justified. Maybe we might even get 2 cents of change out of it if we are lucky.

27·7 hours agoThat’s an unhinged analogy soaked in emotion. Whatever point you are trying to make, it has nothing to do with the one I’m talking about in the comment.

41·7 hours agoIt’s a fair point. When I think about it, I come to the conclusion that at first I both consume them the same way, as pictures on a screen. So they start at both the same baseline (my immediate enjoyment) and learning something was done in a more complicated method or has a deeper meaning just adds to that baseline, but it to never will go down for the opposite.
I attribute more value to human made art, just like how I attribute more value to hand painted pieces compared to digital ones. I just don’t change my opinion towards the negative.
I also think there’s an error when assuming something can’t communicate because it was made partly or completely with AI. The GoP uses it to communicate hate for instance, that part mostly transcends the medium imo (even if again, the medium can add to it at times). I see AI as a tool, I don’t see it as the AI creating the piece.
Obviously, 3/4 of the scene is smut so it’s not like much high level communication is going on most times though lol. I’m selective in what I actually consider art, I wouldn’t call most outputs art just to be clear (or what the GOP is doing for that matter).

 Technology@lemmy.world•Meta: Pirated Adult Film Downloads Were For “Personal Use,” Not AI TrainingEnglish
1·8 hours ago≈ 22 per year per ip x 20 different ips x over 8 years.
There’s also like 70 000 people working for meta, so having 20 perverts that download a porn movie on their work computer every 3 weeks kind of tracks.

53·8 hours agoExcept you can’t tell, because it taste the same (as he clearly admits by saying his enjoyment only changes once he learns it’s AI).
It’s basically willingly entertaining and reinforcing your own placebos.

913·8 hours agoI always found this such a silly argument. Imagine eating a pizza and thoroughly enjoying it but changing your perception of taste willingly depending on how it was made. It’s admitting you are judging art based on everything except the actual piece, which sounds the opposite of what art is about.
It’s like in olden times when they judged a piece depending on the artists birth and status.
Not to say there isn’t a lot of slop out there that definitely belongs in the dumpster, but it’s hard to take someone seriously when they judge all of it broadly on this kind of basis.

We’re all out of witches. All we have left are astrologers and billionaires. Please advise.
Edit: not sure if my grandmother is giving me the peace sign or telling me to do them both.
This is why I always use random Korean characters to seperate my columns.

 Technology@lemmy.world•Meta: Pirated Adult Film Downloads Were For “Personal Use,” Not AI TrainingEnglish
111·14 hours agoStrike 3 Holdings and Counterlife Media, which are known for popular adult brands including Vixen, Tushy, Blacked, and Deeper, filed a copyright infringement complaint at a California federal court. The companies allege that Meta downloaded at least 2,396 of their films since 2018, allegedly to aid their AI video training.
“[T]he small number of downloads—roughly 22 per year on average across dozens of Meta IP addresses—is plainly indicative of private personal use, not a concerted effort to collect the massive datasets Plaintiffs allege are necessary for effective AI training,” Meta writes

10·1 day ago“see, I’m a socialist, some people need to get tricked while others get the treat”
Crazy seeing an ad like that come from someone who calls himself a democrat. The kind of low denominator bullshit the GoP peddles to the inbred part of its base.
JD really likes the leather, I doubt he could control himself the moment he got close enough to smell it.
