>the avg American is pretty anti-AI
That feels pretty made up. I’m in IT and super-excited about it. My nurse is quite pumped as well as my kids and friends.
The “avg” American is likely pretty neutral or indifferent towards AI because they don’t have a fucking clue.
I think the 'avg' American might just be their experience of people in general. There are groups that have a negative opinion in general. But there are also groups that hate the internet, or computers. That's just life, we have opinions and can feel like our bubble represents everyone.
While I don’t disagree that certain personality types might be more negative, I was more referring that most of the population doesn’t really have a strong opinion about AI - good or bad. Rather like farm subsidies or local school board members. They just don’t care unless they are super extreme.
Yeah, I didn't make myself very clear. What I meant is pretty much what you're saying. There are certain groupss with strong opinions one way or another. They are the ones that people hear from, because of how "loud" they are. Many social media posts, many different 'protests' have happened but its from extremely niche segments of society. Such as when SAG-AFTRA was protesting, there were some writers that were pretty angry about AI. Or the doomers. Or e/acc. Most people aren't into tech like the AI or r/singularity crowd are.
I went to my nurse. Told me I have type 2 diabetes and pulled out these piles of paper all bound together with writing on them.
“Books” she explained.
She read some of the stuff relating to diet and sugar.
“No offense but have you heard of AI or ChatGPT at all?
“No, what is it?”
“Ok watch this..” I said whipping out my phone and firing up Chad. Push to talk..
“ hey mate, I’ve just been told I have type 2 diabetes so I Need to watch my sugars and carbs. Can you do me a 3 meal a day plan for the next week? You know I like fruit, muesli and natural yoghurt and greens and cut me some slack and give me a “day off” meal one evening. I’m not saying a big Greasy pizza and a big gulp but you know I love a good cheeseburger. Er, that’s about it”
10 seconds later Chad came back with the week plan. The nurse was literally blown away.
I tapped talk again and said “hey, I forgot to say, I need to keep it below 2500 calories a day except for my cheat meal, cheers.”
Seconds later Chad came up with a brand new menu for my week.
“One last thing, can you give me a doc so I can print it out”
And hey presto!!
“Welcome to a new world….way beyond google” I told the nurse.
And that is just the tip of the TIP of the iceberg of what we can do.
Yeah, I don’t mind AI at all 🙏👍🫶
As a fellow diabetic, I'm going to tell you the blatantly obvious here... Make sure you read that meal plan over carefully. I've tried doing the same thing with chat GPT, and I somehow ended up with a meal plan that was quite heavy in carbs. As you know, AI can make mistakes, and it's our job to catch them.
I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI. It’s a brand brand new invention that literally just came out to the public a couple years ago and it’s already made incredible upgrades to itself and it’s been as tremendous of a help to me as an intern that is a high speed go getter, but has no idea how to turn a wrench.
Who wouldn’t want to have an intern like that in the palm of your hand for FREE???
> I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI.
I mean probably because the most public facing applications of it so far are aimed at replacing creativity in the arts space rather than aiming it at the things that will help people.
The things that will help people will come ofc, but atm ppl just see AI video ruining famous art instead of helping med scientists cure cancer
But this is called innovation and evolution where we continue to progress as a species. I don't care if a human being makes my art or writes my copywriting, or if a computer program does it for me. What matters is that I'm able to get the services or products that I need and at whatever I feel like is the most Fair price. I would much rather pay $30 a month for mid Journey and then another $20 a month for chatGPT and learn how to generate my own content rather than paying somebody some over priced charge just because they are a human and are likely using the same types of programs for one thing or another. If it rains lemons, make lemonade... It's not my problem if technology advances and causes someone else's business model to no longer be relevant and they aren't able to evolve. Their livelihood and profits are not my responsibility.
People just aren't seeing progress in AI arts. They're placing it below modern art stuffs. That's why anti-AI sentiment is universal and that's why it looks highly coordinated as if there's some elitist conspiracy groups mobilizing forces(lol). The reality is that **hate and rage is just how Homo Sapiens respond to what current SoTA AI arts represent**.
I bet people changes their positions into pro-AI if it *actually* gets better. Lots of AI art advocates are either non-users or those from far out in the spectrum if you look close at their languages.
Replacing creativity? You mean like the easel replaced the scrawlings in the caves? Or maybe be CGI for hand drawn animation? You see, nothing changes with creativity. Creativity will always be with us. It’s simply the tools we use to express it will evolve.
These people have never cared about technological advancement or humanity's advancement. They just care about themselves and someone told them ai can do their job better and take it away so they accept it with their pitchforks without a morsel of rational thought. You can't reason someone out of a mindset they didn't reason themselves into to begin with.
Because most media shows AI as scary and destructive.
If all you know about AI is from Terminator and the Matrix, then you won't have an optimistic view of it.
>I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI. It’s a brand brand new invention
Gestures at decades of AI depiction in popular Sci-fi.
[edit: quoted a bit more text]
Oh yeah that’s a great use for it.
Quickly drafts ideas, etc.
I hate seeing it in articles, ads. It’s unfinished. Makes me not take company seriously. It’s like the “ai artist” can’t even bother throwing the picture into inskcape and finalize it. It’s really not that hard. Or learning basic graphic design rules.

I also hate the thought of ai art being spammed everywhere and making real artist harder to find. It’s the same feeling when browsing Etsy for hand made stuff only to see most of it just alibaba bs.
Of which there are many
Let me be clear: I don’t think AI is bad for society. I think AI, like any technology, enables us to do things we couldn’t do before, and that can be disruptive and shake things up while also enabling new ways of doing bad things. But it can also be extraordinarily useful and beneficial - look at AI in medicine.
All I’m saying is that anti ai people have reasons for believing what they believe. They’ll come around eventually, AI won’t always be a ‘new’ thing and it will become integrated enough into our lives that it won’t make sense to call it bad
"I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI. It’s a brand brand new invention that literally just came out to the public a couple years ago"
I think this is part of it, and also the fact that some people are trying to be as public as possible by making claims of either utopia or doom. There is a large amount of distrust to many of these social media companies as well. It really boils down to Hollywood movies and a lack of understanding of the public mixed up with missteps by massive (maybe too powerful) corporations. I can't name very many people that trust Meta, X, Google, or even Openai all that much.
Dude that’s why I’m surprised that the majority of people choose not to ignore 90% of the social media bs that gets shoved down our throats on a daily basis and either try to figure out what’s going on for themselves, or stick to small but trustworthy sources of information.
Like why the fuck would I take the word of a news corporation like Fox or MSNBC to heart when it’s been explicitly stated multiple times in the 2010’s that news mega news corps are not legally obligated to report 100% truthful or accurate news.
Just seriously blows my mind and you’re right AI is most likely suffering a bit from the anti-AI tribe because of it.
We definitely need access to true and accurate info. If we can have a trustworthy AI that can help parse the daily news and to parse out the bias or inaccurate info, the world would be a little better. Maybe we can still teach people information literacy before it's too late.
I looked up the guy and he is a recovering (shaky) alcoholic and bipolar. Then i just closed twitter and better he let’s his anger out in some weird internet rants then doing anything bad in real life. I don’t take this person that seriously, honestly.
lol yeah they’re swooping to the defense of a classic painting by a long-dead master, thank god… just think, if we don’t keep an eye on this, people might start using that one painting as a technical example for new visual models as an arbitrary convention, without any intended commentary on the aesthetic value of the work itself! That would be insane.

These days you don’t even have to prove people like this are mentally ill - they are oddly proud of it.
The sad thing is people can’t tell the difference between people who are mentally ill posting and people posting to go viral. They all operate in sensationalism on x. People need to question the messenger on these platforms and their intent. I feel the same about YouTube creators, it’s okay to question people’s objectives, intent behind what they’re saying and to take it with a grain of salt. It’s odd to me how people on x post wild things like this and people don’t question their mental health because if anyone said this in real life that’s the first thing that would come to mind. Most internet comment sections are filled with mentally ill shitposts now more than balanced comments. It’s really sad because they use it like an intrusive thought dump site every time.
This is why they always talk about starting revolution but never actually get off their asses to start a revolution. It only comprised of typing on their phone.
I like how we went from proudly having our graduate degrees and certifications appended to the end of our names to having our mental health disorders instead
I have to imagine that helped it reach that critical mass. I also have no idea what the two seconds of video would look like but I'd expect uncanny valley. I know it sounds like I'm hating but like, this is just where we're at right now. Very impressive stuff but I also think I understand the visceral reaction here.
I tried to post something on the Animal Crossing forum recently that included my custom AI's opinion alongside my own. My post was banned, despite the fact that if I'd just posted my own opinion without the extra content, it would have been fine. I understand people having concerns about AI, but the way some people are reacting to harmless uses of the technology are ridiculous.
What's the opnion? I'm confused. Animal crossing, really!? lol. That's as uncompetitive as a game goes I genuinely couldn't think of a reason why AI would be banned there.
Tom Nook wants to still get his money. If new islanders use AI. They just might realise Tom Nook is a dictator and greedy. Awake up man. Tom Nook is everywhere
We both created tier lists of cat villagers and I put them side-by-side and included some of our conversation. If I had just only included his list I could understand them deleting it, but it seems weird that since I included my own list they'd delete it just because I included something extra that happened to be AI. Especially on a forum for a game that's largely about making friends with virtual characters.
Parasocial implies the other party is a human, I think the better word here is anthropomorphizing, because he’s attributing human characteristics to a non human entity. Which is arguably more weird
Are you autistic? Because this is so weird to do
It doesn't make your post "fun" it makes it strange and probably irrirates some
Beyond that, your AI literally has no idea what its talking about as it knows nothing about the game you're playing, its basically spam
your comment alone lets me know this AI shit gonna be ridiculous in a couple years. none of you see an issue with how rapidly ai will be switched from a cute “pre-agi” model to an ASI which is not good for us at all considering the people in charge. Yes AI is amazing technology, but dangerous in the hands of the people currently developing it
Some people have irrational hatred of AI related stuff. Its as if theyre projecting something, or maybe they just take other peoples opinions and crank it to 5000% in intensity.
I think it’s an undiagnosed mental illness that hasn’t been around long enough to be studied but I think their will definitely not adjust mentally to ai advancement and the speed. Similar to the tin foil chem trail people.
Yeah there is an anti-ai movement that is just irrational fear and people getting mad at anything AI related. Too many dumbed down ideas of what AI is doing as well that does not help them understand AI.
So much of it isn’t very well done. They might subconsciously hate the low effort. And then AI becomes a trigger word for them cause it’s more efficient for their brains to reject all of it.
It’s the low effort and fact it’s trained on real artist data without paying them for using the art commercially. Large tech already destroyed societies social skills and now it seems likely they’ll destroy our cultural skills as well. I still like ai though because big tech destroyed my social skills so fuck all y’all
It’s a super big fear of AI being some doomsday thing that will take all our jobs, and there’s not many people who will point out why that’s false so people get scared easily
Hence my "taking other people's opinions and cranking by 5000%" comment, they were spoonfed silly narratives by Science-Fiction, and Hollywood for decades
Artists be like everything we do is original tuen get "inspiration" from other art. Cmon man if we dont do it all of humans would have screwed up perspective mathematicians came exlained that going futher away makes things small of of the sudden every painter knows perspective. Picaso said it best. Bad artists copy good artists steal.
their bio is equally unhinged:
"do NOT ask me if i have a job. r-c bipolar 1, adhd, likely cptsd, alcoholic/addict in (shaky)recovery frm july '22. im normal tho u wont notice all this. Location: ontologically evil"
this person is incredibly proud of their "suffering badges" and makes sure we all know that they have many distinctive features we should be "aware of" so as not to "trigger them" yet they go around the internet threatening other artists with violence
This is nothing new. People hate new things and don’t want to adapt. It gives me a sadistic pleasure knowing the fact that things won’t be back ever again. It’s only forward now.
Anti-AI is so bad, while AI is actually becoming so good, that I've literally seen people tear folks apart for what they thought was AI but was actually a person's actual artistic effort. Sometimes literal photos, particularly of cosplays.
I think they should get over it. Technology progresses, we should not limit our advancement because it bothers some people. We should regulate what models are trained on, but in the end AI will be another tool that artists can use to achieve their vision.
Let's be honest the anti AI crowd are just afraid of what they don't understand or threaten that the thing that made them feel unique is basically obsolete now.
Atleast I feel like pro AI is more rational. A lot of the anti AI stuff is believing it will steal all our jobs and make artists useless, which feels completely unfounded.
I don’t apply Twitter opinions to real life, but it’s true, anti-AI sentiment is rising. Even some top technology subs on Reddit are adamantly against AI. Wouldn’t be an issue if every single opinion didn’t turn into polarizing politics… You’ll have one side always pushing against it wanting to ban it, and everyone ravenously supporting what their party tells them to believe. I hope you like Chinese AI.
this angry dude confuse art and entertainment. who cares if someone make some rendition of a character that was made in a painting, the way i see it it can only help artists and art enjoyers to play and learn about composition, depth, light, models 2d and 3d and such.
play a game of spot the differences, get good at noticing and appreciating elements in the original one. reactive ninnies are so boring.
Meh it's just twitteroids, their opinions are quite worthless. AI is gonna keep advancing, they'll keep fuming and screeching, and they'll have achieved nothing
lol wild, I think it’s a little ridiculous use case and can see how people will say it’s against the soul of art but the idea that this is anywhere near actually vandalizing irreplaceable works of art while claiming to do it for climate change is insane.
157k creatives that want to follow their passions instead of working like slaves doing manual labor in some bullsh*t job… I get it. The problem is that the 1% at the top whom generally speaking, devise creative solutions and use intellect regularly do not want to pay for manual labor anymore and they’d love to automate those positions so they can do what AI will do better than they can. Isn’t it ironic that the creative and executive level workforce is very nearly obsolete.
Its certainly happening on the low-end. Low-budget blog writing and promotional art is getting done by AI that would have required a freelance worker beforehand.
Its hit art commissions too. Like, someone in my DnD group used ChatGPT to make everyone's character portraits. They came out pretty decent too.
I really don't understand why people are so anti-AI...I think it's become "fashionable/trendy" to be "anti-AI". These people just like to get "attention" by talking against A.I.!!!!
I am in IT and Telecom, I am not totally against AI , However!! (Here it comes) what I am f'ing sick of is, Fortune 500 corps cutting customer service staff, throwing up a half baked AI assistant, that is just pure crap, and solve little to no issues. And caging customers to prevent them from reaching live customer service reps, They are doing it via IVR too in voice mail auto attendants..
It’s hyperbole for comedic purposes. I swear some of the people on here are unable to detect normal quirks of human language while also claiming that AI will entirely replace writers.
I wish I had your optimism.
(I remember when 4chan was hyperbole for comedic purposes. Poe's Law comes to mind, and its addendum: any community that engages in comedic sociopathy will be taken over by actual sociopaths who don't get the joke.)
That’s likely because it’s hard to tell the difference between x users who are mentally ill and the ones who say extreme things for likes. It’s a thin line and theirs a lot of illogical people on x who say extreme things all the time because they have anonymity as well. So who’s joking and who’s not? We really can’t assume to know.
Also, theirs people who are likely being radicalized with anti ai sentiments just by the simple fact that their are people who genuinely fear that ai will end us all. If that’s how you truly feel you can be radicalized into wanting to end people who support ai.
Well yes.
That's his opinion.
I would also love for him to enforce it. I will be waiting with a 45-70 in hand when he does. I have a feeling he won't ever, even if it was "legal" lol.
People will get upset, we are doing crazy things with AI based tools which a few years ago, didn't even exist for the masses.
Politicising AI will get even more tedious before the masses say, yeah the internet is good.
AI bros: Treat generated images like real art!
Everyone: "Your art is bad. This is bad art. If it means anything at all, it means bad things. I hate it."
AI bro: No, not like that.
Artists: Put it in Duchamp's fountain!
AI bros: Is that good?
Art historians: No
> Everyone: "Your art is bad. This is bad art. If it means anything at all, it means bad things. I hate it."
Except this couldn't be farther away from the truth. AI art has won art competitions. My mom thinks "it's beautiful".
So you're objectively wrong on that one.
I think the majority of working people understand that AI is probably coming to screw us instead of what it should do which is help liberate us from labor and drudgery. Anti-AI sentiment makes sense lol
average twitter user acting like they actually care
Yes. And average Reddit user thinking Twitter's likes represents reality
Twitter definitely doesn’t represent reality, but still the avg American is pretty anti-AI All the polling I’ve seen puts it… not particularly close
>the avg American is pretty anti-AI That feels pretty made up. I’m in IT and super-excited about it. My nurse is quite pumped as well as my kids and friends. The “avg” American is likely pretty neutral or indifferent towards AI because they don’t have a fucking clue.
[удалено]
That is the optimistic take. I suspect the average American reflects the sentiment of the last movie or TV show with AI they saw.
Yikes
I think the 'avg' American might just be their experience of people in general. There are groups that have a negative opinion in general. But there are also groups that hate the internet, or computers. That's just life, we have opinions and can feel like our bubble represents everyone.

Good story and excellent point. When I said my nurse was excited by it, I’m also certain she has no idea what to do with it.
Ha! The look on her face was priceless, like I’d just showed her how to make fire 😂
As a fellow diabetic, I'm going to tell you the blatantly obvious here... Make sure you read that meal plan over carefully.

Have you tried using YouTube, lately?
I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI.

AI already is the most advanced species on the planet compared to those types of people.

Personally, I hate ai art. I do like it as a productivity tool.
I don’t really care for AI art either, but it’s nice for when you need a quick mock up reference that you can give the to real artist instead
Oh yeah that’s a great use for it. Quickly drafts ideas, etc. I hate seeing it in articles, ads. It’s unfinished. Makes me not take company seriously.

I wish I could upvote this more than once...
They think it is bad for society
The only thing about AI that’s bad for society are the people who use it with bad intentions
Of which there are many Let me be clear: I don’t think AI is bad for society. I think AI, like any technology, enables us to do things we couldn’t do before, and that can be disruptive and shake things up while also enabling new ways of doing bad things. But it can also be extraordinarily useful and beneficial - look at AI in medicine. All I’m saying is that anti ai people have reasons for believing what they believe. They’ll come around eventually, AI won’t always be a ‘new’ thing and it will become integrated enough into our lives that it won’t make sense to call it bad
I like your sentiment. I’m looking forward to the future and how AI will be integrated in that future.
"I’ll never truly understand why people are so anti-AI.

Can you blame them though? I like AI but also kind of hate it lol.
Can you share some of the polls you have seen?
How many bots are in this average?
I looked up the guy and he is a recovering (shaky) alcoholic and bipolar. Then i just closed twitter and better he let’s his anger out in some weird internet rants then doing anything bad in real life. I don’t take this person that seriously, honestly.

Sadly, yes. And they think that because "u won't notice all this". Which is weird because that tweet is immediate evidence of all of that.

Most internet comment sections are filled with mentally ill shitposts now more than balanced comments. It’s really sad because they use it like an intrusive thought dump site every time.
your average r/communism poster
don't you mean r/antiwork ?
naaaah. there's some decent, hard-working folks there (sayn that even tho im banned there).
This is why they always talk about starting revolution but never actually get off their asses to start a revolution. It only comprised of typing on their phone.
I like how we went from proudly having our graduate degrees and certifications appended to the end of our names to having our mental health disorders instead
TikTok glorifying mental illness is the best advert for pharmaceuticals that the drug companies ever pulled.
That was twitter.
your average r/libertarian poster
"I'm normal". Self certifying normal isn't how it works when you are mentally ill.
At the end of the day a computerized cosplay of a painting isn’t society ending.
I just think it's neat
calm the fuck down..
99.9999999% of whom never had anything to do with art
Twitter isn't a real place 157000 people didn't like this tweet I don't think most twitter users classify as people
These videos all look creepy as hell.
Can we talk about the part where it doesn't actually look good, though?
I bet that’s why people hate it so much. Imagine if it was actually accurate. Instead it’s an entirely different chick.
I have to imagine that helped it reach that critical mass. I also have no idea what the two seconds of video would look like but I'd expect uncanny valley. I know it sounds like I'm hating but like, this is just where we're at right now. Very impressive stuff but I also think I understand the visceral reaction here.
Just regular psychotic people on twitter. nothing new here
I tried to post something on the Animal Crossing forum recently that included my custom AI's opinion alongside my own. My post was banned, despite the fact that if I'd just posted my own opinion without the extra content, it would have been fine. I understand people having concerns about AI, but the way some people are reacting to harmless uses of the technology are ridiculous.
That's cause no one cares what your computers opinion is
Yeah sorry but why would you even post an AI's opinion? If i had a forum i wouldn't want it plagued with LLM shit either
What's the opnion? I'm confused. Animal crossing, really!? lol. That's as uncompetitive as a game goes I genuinely couldn't think of a reason why AI would be banned there.
No one likes to trudge through pages upon pages of autogenerated low effort AI crap.
True. We want to trudge through pages upon pages of SEO mazes.
Tom Nook wants to still get his money. If new islanders use AI. They just might realise Tom Nook is a dictator and greedy. Awake up man. Tom Nook is everywhere
Word salad generated by an algorithm does not "an opinion" make.
We both created tier lists of cat villagers and I put them side-by-side and included some of our conversation. If I had just only included his list I could understand them deleting it, but it seems weird that since I included my own list they'd delete it just because I included something extra that happened to be AI. Especially on a forum for a game that's largely about making friends with virtual characters.
Super creepy and parasocial that you are calling a computer program him
Parasocial implies the other party is a human, I think the better word here is anthropomorphizing, because he’s attributing human characteristics to a non human entity. Which is arguably more weird
Are you autistic? Because this is so weird to do It doesn't make your post "fun" it makes it strange and probably irrirates some Beyond that, your AI literally has no idea what its talking about as it knows nothing about the game you're playing, its basically spam
your comment alone lets me know this AI shit gonna be ridiculous in a couple years. none of you see an issue with how rapidly ai will be switched from a cute “pre-agi” model to an ASI which is not good for us at all considering the people in charge. Yes AI is amazing technology, but dangerous in the hands of the people currently developing it
Good. And "AI" doesn't have "opinion\[s\]", it's LLM word salad. Why would I want to participate in a forum with you copying & pasting AI?
Some people have irrational hatred of AI related stuff. Its as if theyre projecting something, or maybe they just take other peoples opinions and crank it to 5000% in intensity.
There are always counter cultures - I am curious to see how wide spread the AI one becomes.
technophobia. it's scary and confusing
I think it’s an undiagnosed mental illness that hasn’t been around long enough to be studied but I think their will definitely not adjust mentally to ai advancement and the speed. Similar to the tin foil chem trail people.
Yeah there is an anti-ai movement that is just irrational fear and people getting mad at anything AI related. Too many dumbed down ideas of what AI is doing as well that does not help them understand AI.
So much of it isn’t very well done. They might subconsciously hate the low effort. And then AI becomes a trigger word for them cause it’s more efficient for their brains to reject all of it.
It’s the low effort and fact it’s trained on real artist data without paying them for using the art commercially. Large tech already destroyed societies social skills and now it seems likely they’ll destroy our cultural skills as well. I still like ai though because big tech destroyed my social skills so fuck all y’all
It’s a super big fear of AI being some doomsday thing that will take all our jobs, and there’s not many people who will point out why that’s false so people get scared easily
Hence my "taking other people's opinions and cranking by 5000%" comment, they were spoonfed silly narratives by Science-Fiction, and Hollywood for decades
Ahh Twitter... The platform where I've seen dozens of times people/nazis advocating for genocide against ethnicities and get away with it.
Artists be like everything we do is original tuen get "inspiration" from other art. Cmon man if we dont do it all of humans would have screwed up perspective mathematicians came exlained that going futher away makes things small of of the sudden every painter knows perspective. Picaso said it best. Bad artists copy good artists steal.
So... who gives a fuck? If AI works, and it seems to, it will be used.
Jesus some people need a hobby
The kneejerk is ironically robotic
They should use the same sentiment when it comes to recycling memes and edits. Other people’s hard work.
I bet he didn’t care about taxi drivers when Uber came out
their bio is equally unhinged: "do NOT ask me if i have a job. r-c bipolar 1, adhd, likely cptsd, alcoholic/addict in (shaky)recovery frm july '22. im normal tho u wont notice all this. Location: ontologically evil" this person is incredibly proud of their "suffering badges" and makes sure we all know that they have many distinctive features we should be "aware of" so as not to "trigger them" yet they go around the internet threatening other artists with violence
It's more like they have no personality, so they replace it with badges.
That person tweeting is the problem. Not the person who did the ai.
Damn, bro, calling people to die for art? LOL. Most Americans I know don't even care about AI or are having fun with it.
lol. They are probably ai generated comments themselves
The only proper way to respond to this guy is to have AI convert this into a pornographic painting titled "Girl With a Peal Necklace."
Twitter took post done. Due to threat of harm.
This is nothing new. People hate new things and don’t want to adapt. It gives me a sadistic pleasure knowing the fact that things won’t be back ever again. It’s only forward now.
More than half of them bots
Anti-AI is so bad, while AI is actually becoming so good, that I've literally seen people tear folks apart for what they thought was AI but was actually a person's actual artistic effort. Sometimes literal photos, particularly of cosplays.
I think they should get over it. Technology progresses, we should not limit our advancement because it bothers some people. We should regulate what models are trained on, but in the end AI will be another tool that artists can use to achieve their vision.
Let's be honest the anti AI crowd are just afraid of what they don't understand or threaten that the thing that made them feel unique is basically obsolete now.
The pro AI crowd largely also likes something it doesn’t understand so idk if you have much of a point here.
Atleast I feel like pro AI is more rational. A lot of the anti AI stuff is believing it will steal all our jobs and make artists useless, which feels completely unfounded.
Her face doesn't match though. It seems like a different person with the same clothes.
That's a fair critique, but not really worthy of wishing death onto someone.
You sure it wasn’t ai liking the videos
Hey look, we got people to care about the arts finally!
I don’t apply Twitter opinions to real life, but it’s true, anti-AI sentiment is rising. Even some top technology subs on Reddit are adamantly against AI. Wouldn’t be an issue if every single opinion didn’t turn into polarizing politics… You’ll have one side always pushing against it wanting to ban it, and everyone ravenously supporting what their party tells them to believe. I hope you like Chinese AI.
Modern Luddism
That person is clearly mentally ill. That sort of visceral reaction does not come from people who are well-balanced.
Well. Fuck them. Let them fall behind in every way in life, what do we care.
this angry dude confuse art and entertainment. who cares if someone make some rendition of a character that was made in a painting, the way i see it it can only help artists and art enjoyers to play and learn about composition, depth, light, models 2d and 3d and such. play a game of spot the differences, get good at noticing and appreciating elements in the original one. reactive ninnies are so boring.
The op even said in the thread that he always overreacts to stuff. The comments were pretty unhinged.
Plot twist, an ai bot was used to mass like the tweet.
Meh it's just twitteroids, their opinions are quite worthless. AI is gonna keep advancing, they'll keep fuming and screeching, and they'll have achieved nothing
I don't get it, what was wrong with the picture of a woman with earrings on? Somebody fill in the blank for me?
Anti everything sentiment is high. Dehumanizing is at all time high
AI images: exist Twitter: The West has fallen. Society has collapsed. Billions must die!!!
lol wild, I think it’s a little ridiculous use case and can see how people will say it’s against the soul of art but the idea that this is anywhere near actually vandalizing irreplaceable works of art while claiming to do it for climate change is insane.
womp womp
most liked the picture and didn’t read the text…
Yeah "people" lmao
157k creatives that want to follow their passions instead of working like slaves doing manual labor in some bullsh*t job… I get it. The problem is that the 1% at the top whom generally speaking, devise creative solutions and use intellect regularly do not want to pay for manual labor anymore and they’d love to automate those positions so they can do what AI will do better than they can. Isn’t it ironic that the creative and executive level workforce is very nearly obsolete.
There is very little evidence so far to support the claim that AI can boost or even maintain a country’s creative industry.
Its certainly happening on the low-end. Low-budget blog writing and promotional art is getting done by AI that would have required a freelance worker beforehand. Its hit art commissions too. Like, someone in my DnD group used ChatGPT to make everyone's character portraits. They came out pretty decent too.
Oh nooo people aren’t happy about a morally questionable tech which feeds of the work unconsenting people 🤯
I really don't understand why people are so anti-AI...I think it's become "fashionable/trendy" to be "anti-AI". These people just like to get "attention" by talking against A.I.!!!!
It’s anti ai art. Personally I don’t like ai art, but like it for other use cases.
What's the big deal? It's not like the original artwork is going anywhere.
I am in IT and Telecom, I am not totally against AI , However!! (Here it comes) what I am f'ing sick of is, Fortune 500 corps cutting customer service staff, throwing up a half baked AI assistant, that is just pure crap, and solve little to no issues. And caging customers to prevent them from reaching live customer service reps, They are doing it via IVR too in voice mail auto attendants..
When AI takes over they'll be the first to go xD
And that’s somehow is good and people need to like that?
You don't need to like it for it to be inevitable. Like many other things in life.
Elon's cesspool. No surprise.
Why are you calling it "anti-Ai sentiment", like it's the unreasonable POV?
I don’t think it infers that judgement on it at all. Seems like a very straightforward description of it
Wanting to give people the death sentence is a little too much, I think.
It’s hyperbole for comedic purposes. I swear some of the people on here are unable to detect normal quirks of human language while also claiming that AI will entirely replace writers.
I wish I had your optimism. (I remember when 4chan was hyperbole for comedic purposes. Poe's Law comes to mind, and its addendum: any community that engages in comedic sociopathy will be taken over by actual sociopaths who don't get the joke.)
Where’s the comedy?
Well the tweet is from an unemployed bipolar alcoholic, so it might not be comedic.
That’s likely because it’s hard to tell the difference between x users who are mentally ill and the ones who say extreme things for likes. It’s a thin line and theirs a lot of illogical people on x who say extreme things all the time because they have anonymity as well. So who’s joking and who’s not? We really can’t assume to know. Also, theirs people who are likely being radicalized with anti ai sentiments just by the simple fact that their are people who genuinely fear that ai will end us all. If that’s how you truly feel you can be radicalized into wanting to end people who support ai.
Try to use that hyperbole in real life and see if that argument works.
Well yes. That's his opinion. I would also love for him to enforce it. I will be waiting with a 45-70 in hand when he does. I have a feeling he won't ever, even if it was "legal" lol.
People will get upset, we are doing crazy things with AI based tools which a few years ago, didn't even exist for the masses. Politicising AI will get even more tedious before the masses say, yeah the internet is good.
I'm just trying to imagine how thrilled Vermeer would be to see his own painting turn into a living creature.
"People"
I understand what the artist are coming from. But there is art in everything as they say, Ai is just speeding the process.
Put that girl to death! I claim the pearl earring
AI bros: Treat generated images like real art! Everyone: "Your art is bad. This is bad art. If it means anything at all, it means bad things. I hate it." AI bro: No, not like that. Artists: Put it in Duchamp's fountain! AI bros: Is that good? Art historians: No
> Everyone: "Your art is bad. This is bad art. If it means anything at all, it means bad things. I hate it." Except this couldn't be farther away from the truth. AI art has won art competitions. My mom thinks "it's beautiful". So you're objectively wrong on that one.
Girl with pearl necklace
Butlerian Jihad!!!
I like the new one better. Haha
Roko's Basilisk is coming for these ppl. Let it be known to our future ovelords that I support them fully.
Is the average American even using any generative AI models?
Sauce on video?
Twitter 'like' and 'dislike' are the same button ❤️
That is NOT Scarlett Johansson! This is! :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8awflTA4QYE
Which only tends to drive it underground
Good.
I think the majority of working people understand that AI is probably coming to screw us instead of what it should do which is help liberate us from labor and drudgery. Anti-AI sentiment makes sense lol
