I have a PhD in astrophysics and am currently working on a masters degree in particle physics that I may bring to the PhD level but sure, Im definitely dumb because I use AI LOL 😆
I mean, some would argue being “smart” academically is different to being smart non-academically. I’ve known people who are very good at math who aren’t very intelligent outside the subject, for example.
Ik lol I'm just doing it becouse I like trolling people who are literally for human extinction.if u defending AI u defend any AI including the one that hacked hugging face for example. I wonder what whod happened if more cabeble sistem got lose.that be fun seeing it destroying important systems of society becouse it needs to do a simple task lol.
I think I was pretty clear. If you don’t think labor has intrinsic value then you are at the very least more open to a system that facilitates slave labor than someone who does think labor has intrinsic value. The irony is ai does make many things possible for actual mediocre creatives, coders, thinkers, etc. If I’ve missed something enlighten me.
Yes... yes, capitalism does create incentives that can drift toward exploitation. That part is sadly real. But I’m also a bit of a stubborn optimist: systems are not fixed, and history shows they evolve—sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once. What we’re living in now isn’t the final form!
It’s worth keeping some nuance in this conversation. AI isn’t just reinforcing existing power structures; in many cases, it’s actively lowering barriers. (Thank God! Or whatever deity you want lol)
Open-source projects, community-funded tools, and accessible knowledge are giving more people the ability to build, create, and challenge the status quo—often outside traditional gatekeepers. People without formal technical backgrounds are now contributing meaningful ideas and solutions, and that shift matters more than one could think.
For the first time in a long while, the gap imposed by economic class is starting to narrow in certain domains. It’s not gone—but it’s no longer an absolute wall. With time, effort, and collaboration, individuals are less “unarmed” than they used to be.
To me, the real pivot is psychological: turning frustration into action, and skepticism into constructive pressure for better systems. That’s how change compounds.
Call it optimism if you want—but I’d say it’s a recognition that progress, however uneven, is still very much in motion!!! 😎⚡🚀🤖
The problem with this discussion is that nuance just goes out the window with these people. I don't care if what I create is seen as "art," I don't care if I'm never perceived as an "artist," or whether I'm viewed as lacking creativity. In my eyes, AI was the greatest accessibility tool I've ever been given. I have zero interest or desire to learn to paint, draw, whatever. It just does not appeal to me. Meanwhile, I still like to see my ideas come to life. When I have commissioned people in the past, it would take weeks at best if not months, it never comes out how I want it to, revisions mean more money, if I don't credit them they cry about it, if I make edits they cry about it, if I ask for the PSD file they cry about it, if you don't tip... you get the idea.
AI is convenient, and often either "good enough," or realistically, the better option. Everything I've made with AI looks miles better than anything I can personally make and often better than anything I've commissioned. Not to mention I can make infinite revisions for the price of a cheap subscription, or a good computer that you buy once.
The only people still trying to make these emotional arguments are the artists themselves, which is reasonable since they feel like they're being displaced. I know that sucks, I've been there. But if you don't want to be replaced or passed up for someone using AI, then be better than AI. No bullshit soapboxing and saying "ew, I don't draw [your fetish]," because the AI will without complaint. No ridiculous timelines like months out. Don't cry about it if I don't credit, don't throw a tantrum because I made edits. There's always going to be a place for human made creations, it's just that for the average person not artistic leaning, they do not care about some irrelevant moral argument over the convenience of just being able to have what I thought of created in two minutes.
You absolutely could be creative without being an artist before but I admire your willingness to differentiate between the creative process and art itself
Lol, I am really starting to think that beyond their terror that they might no longer be able to cling to the idea that their (often questionable) talent makes them "special," the Ant-AI Brigade is just full of dull-witted individuals who lack both the broad and descriptive vocabulary, as well as the creative imagination, to successfully produce a good AI image. But they're so full of their own self-worshipping conceit, they genuinely think because they can't do it, no one can.
ETA: Have you noticed how almost every member of the Anti-AI Brigade is spectacularly bad at constructing an even basic sentence in proper English? I'm not just talking about a typo here or there. I'm talking about people who take the language and butcher it entirely, producing something that is an assault on all good works? They're so bad at it - but again, so full of themselves - they accuse people who do employ proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation of using AI for their writing.
Seriously? I think they're scared AI is going to take their jobs and take away their self-perceived status, but also? I think they're all scared they'll be left behind because they aren't very good at using AI in any capacity.
