It's Ironic how he talks about AI killing human creativity and being low effort slop when he's only one of many YouTubers who make so many of these doom and gloom anti AI videos that just regurgitate the same talking points over and over again with no substance. It happened with PhantomStryder too. Maybe AI killed these people's creativity and now this is all they can make.

I just need to vent a little... -.-

I'm autistic, and my special interests can get REALLY intense. Unfortunately, they're often incredibly niche, too.

When I get into something, I get REALLY into it. I create entire stories around it, develop characters, obsess over tiny details, spend hours researching and refining things, and sometimes work on a project for weeks. AI helps me writing it... That's the first problem... :/

And now, thanks to AI, I can also bring some of those ideas to life. I can turn scenes from my stories into little videos, give my characters faces and voices, and finally SEE things that previously only existed in my head. That's a dream for me to finally come true...

I'm not trying to make money. I'm not pretending I animated everything by hand. I'm just a fan having fun with something I love.

And sometimes, after spending hours or even weeks working on something, I'm so ridiculously happy with the result that I want to share it with people who love the same game.

But then I post it in a community dedicated to that game, and BAM.

"AI slop."

"Waste of space."

"Nobody cares."

"Stop trying."

It honestly hurts. In the most groups I am not even allowed to post it... b/c it's AI... :<

Not because everyone has to like my work. They absolutely don't. But because nobody even seems interested in the story, the characters, or the thought behind it. All they see is AI, and apparently that's enough to dismiss everything.

I don't have a film crew, actors, or friends willing to recreate my stories. AI is the only tool I currently have that makes this possible.

And I'm so tired of feeling like I have to hide something that brings me so much joy.

I just want to share my silly little passion projects with people who might understand why I love them.

Why does that have to be such a terrible thing?

So basically this anti is mad that another anti IRL asked a restaurant over the menu being AI and then telling their parents they were not going to eat there,

and now all antis are mad that the parents called them a crybaby, and that other people were defending the parents,

tbh in this situation the parent were right, who demands others they aren't going to eat somewhere over a AI menu? 😂

u don't have to eat there sure, but u can't demand others to do the same ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Dose anyone else think this is dumbest most ass backward thing they ever heard.

Seems like the bot karma farming posts are back

752 upvotes, 135 comments, basically everyone who isn't a hateful cultist loved it. Up until a mod on a power trip removed it becase "only for humans by humans" my ass. Of course, there was no rule agaisnt AI in the sidebar.

I reported mod abuse to reddit administartion for violation of code of conduct rule 2, the chances are slim, but it's better than doing nothing.

I’m a musician. The track is human-written, human-performed, human-produced. I used AI to generate promo visuals because I can't afford to pay someone & wait for what I can essentially get in minutes even though I heavily edited it myself.

Then I posted in a music sub, a subreddit literally all about Synthwave which has major ties to retro-futurism. IT is supposed to be about embracing technology while adding in a human factor, which is what this was aimed to do in the first damn place.

The comments were the real story...

“Just don’t use visuals,”

“learn to make your own,”

“I’m never going to hear their music because of the AI artwork,”

“now you learned not to use AI slop.”

"Just use film footage".

They would literally rather me use copywritten film footage than make ORIGINAL ai assisted art.

Let that sink in. They would rather me steal someone else's hard work than take the time to make my own with ai assistance. Can someone make it make sense?!

They want me to learn to make it on my own just to please them? Even though I'm a musician? They want me to suddenly become a visual artist? HAH what a joke.

One person said they "can’t be sure the music isn’t AI because the video is AI."

AI is treated as contamination. The visual is not the song. Yet they concentrate on the packaging, not the gift.

I really feel like these people are going to cringe & delete their comments & posts when they see them in 5-10 years because of how ridiculous they sound & look.

I want to tell the people of this sub, to never stop. The best middle finger to these luddites is for us to continue to make what we make, despite the hate because there are people who enjoy what we make & many of us take a lot of time & put a lot of work into what we do.

Yet, I'm convinced a lot of these low IQ luddites use ai on the low. They just hide it.

Keep doing what you are doing, forget the haters. Ai ain't going anywhere & one day it will be the norm. We are just the brave pioneers using what is available to us & they are the self-righteous cavemen who are too afraid to forge anything with fire.

Keep it going!

Whenever I see a self righteous comment about how the AI is killing the environment or I see the words AI slop etc, I instantly open up Claude fable on ultracode and one shot a large project.

I guarantee most of those people are hippocrates. They need to understand that the environmental impact will eventually decrease in the near future if we keep at the current rate. Their constant crying is actually contributing to slowing it down and causing a larger environmental impact.

- I used to hire developers and graphic designers. Developers used to charge a rip off price for their quality, and the graphic designers were also charging rip off prices. I'm not talking $15-$20, I'm talking quotes of $100+ for a simple shape.

- seeing people cry and bitch about AI and AI slop makes me happy. Seeing them cry about how it will take jobs will make me happy. In reality I see those people as lazy. Victorian candle lighters had to learn a new trade as soon as electricity came in. These people need to learn to adapt their skills.

- a lot of the people I see bitching and crying tend to be the low quality bunch that charge high and produce poor work. It's funny watching them complain.

AI made me go from $0 to enough to live comfortably. These people need to learn to adapt.

The same people crying and bitching are the same people that buy my vibecoded tools and add-ons lmao. Ty ✌🏻

I wrote yesterday post about using AI for translating instead going directly to translator

I've been going back and forth on this for weeks.

To the ones who haven't seen the post I will say again:

I'm an indie author. I wrote an epic fantasy novel, 190,000 words. I've been quoted between $14.000 - 40.000 for a professional editing. Editors and translators keep telling me: "Don't use AI. Hire a professional."

But here's what nobody wants to talk about.

How do I know that professional isn't using AI themselves?

Seriously. There's no contract clause that says "I will not use ChatGPT." There's no verification process. There's no way to detect it after the fact, the same tools that tell you AI wrote something are unreliable at best.

So I'm supposed to pay thousands of dollars, on faith, that the person I hired is doing the work manually. Word by word. The old-fashioned way.

Meanwhile, if I use AI myself, openly, honestly, with full disclosure, I'm the problem.

The industry is built on a double standard that nobody acknowledges. Professionals can quietly use AI to speed up their workflow and charge full rates. Authors who do the same thing are considered frauds.

I'm not saying all translators and editors use AI. I'm sure many don't. But the ones who do? You'd never know. That also applies for famous authors, how do you know that your favourite world famous author is not secretly using AI?

So when someone tells me "trust a professional, not AI", I have to ask: trust them based on what, exactly?

Edit: Why would I pay 30-40 thousands dollars and in the end it doesn't pass AI detector?

So antis have been really triggered by this meme (the 2nd image)

and not only do they keep redrawing it, they get so mad about it which was the point of the OOP of the AI meme obviously 💀

but back to the subject! saying ''at least i don't need a bot to create!'' is literally elitist behavior, it's like saying ''oh u needed that to make it? i don't so i'm better then u!''

antis really think everything they draw is always better then all AI art.

Honestly, as a PROFESSIONAL designer and illustrator, I use gen ai at work and it has greatly improved my workflow. In addition, I get my designs done a billion times faster. They're going to get left behind.

For example, I love the remove background Ai feature in illustrator. You can bring in a photo or any kind of image and one click remove the background without having to go into photoshop.

Somebody’s dog is missing, and someone decided the perfect opportunity for an anti-AI statement was to hold an “AI SLOP” sticker in front of the missing-dog poster.

Main character syndrome is seeing somebody’s missing-dog poster and thinking, “Finally, an opportunity to make this about me.”

Hello,

Yesterday, I took my younger brother out to celebrate his school grades.

We went to a restaurant, ordered our food, and while we were waiting, we were scrolling on his phone and talking about the prize he wanted. He wanted an RTX 5090 and a full gaming PC.

we got our food, ate, paid the bill, and left.

Everything was fine until we came across a guy who looked like he was in his mid-20s. He was handing out papers with something written on them:

"Stop AI, Humanity will kill its sense of art."

I took one, threw it in the nearest bin, and kept walking. I wasn't trying to start anything, I just wasn't interested.

But the guy actually came after us.

He picked up the paper I threw away and asked me, "Don't you have any sense of humanity? Don't you have any sense of art?"

I told him, "I don't really care about what you guys are offering."

Then my younger brother joined the conversation.

He asked him, "Why are you so mad? I thought artists love drawing because they enjoy it."

The guy replied that some families and people depend on art commissions to make a living.

My brother said "yea i get that, but relying on commissions doesn't seem like a stable way to make money unless you're working with a company or have regular customers. I like looking at art too, but I tried learning how to draw and I just didn't enjoy the process. People kept telling me to learn anatomy, lines, shading, gradients and all that stuff. I like math, so why can't I just enjoy math instead? You enjoy drawing, I enjoy math. What's the problem?"

Honestly, I thought that was a pretty reasonable answer.

But the guy got even more annoyed and told my brother that people like him, who don't respect real art, shouldn't even be human.

That's when I lost my temper.

I pushed him back and told him, "Are you out of your damn mind? You're calling someone inhuman because he doesn't respect your art? What the hell is wrong with you? Nobody owes you respect just because you draw. Grow the fuck up."

Things escalated pretty quickly after that. I pulled out my knife during the confrontation, and someone called the police.

The police arrived and took both of us in to question us. They also reviewed the CCTV footage from the area.

I was eventually allowed to leave, but the other guy was kept for further questioning. From what I understood, the police also found public posts on his social media where he regularly called people "subhumans" and "animals".

I don't know exactly what happened with his case, but i think anti-ai people are getting out of their minds, no reason at all, to call someone subhuman because they don't do what you do.

Before I started using AI, I was accused of using AI. The idea that using AI somehow means a creative work isn't entirely yours makes no sense to me.

Should I disclose that my manuscript was dictionary-assisted? Spellchecker-assisted? Teacher-assisted? Printing-press-assisted? Library assisted? That I asked a librarian for references? That my editor came up with the ending? Or suggested the major plot point? Should I credit every generation of people whose knowledge and technology made it possible for me to write a book in the first place?

Everything we create is built on the work of countless people before us. Nobody is sitting there painting individual pixels onto their screen with a hair plucked from their own head.

And "AI-assisted" is such a vague label that it tells us almost nothing. Did someone use AI to proofread a paragraph? Brainstorm ideas? Discuss plot holes? Generate an entire manuscript? Those are wildly different things, yet people insist on lumping them together as if the mere presence of AI somehow changes who created the work.

Of course, nobody should lie about what they did (unless the lie is central to the art!). But that's entirely different from suggesting that using a particular tool requires some special confession.

This obsession with the tools people use to create art, rather than the art they actually create, is one of the silliest and most insincere debates I've seen.

What matters is the result. The creative decisions. Whether the work means something to someone. When the result is good, we don't know what went into creating it, the effort, the joy, the frustration, or the countless decisions along the way.

Art doesn't stop being art because someone used technology others happen to dislike. And nobody gets to decide that someone else's creation isn't really theirs just because they disapprove of the process.

If people experience something as art, then it's art. Period.

Another meme I made

What do y'all think it's the most ridiculous misinformation about AI?

Another case of a talented artist getting accused of using AI just because his art is too good! That's whats happening to a lot of great artist who invest thousand of hours into their craft, they become so good people think their art is AI, instead of appreciating it. I saw his post mins after he shared and I knew it would be accused of AI just because of how much he worked on the shading, which is not something pixel artists usually do... I though his art was amazing, being AI or not, unfortunately people who believe "they can tell" ends up ruining for extreme talented artists like him...

People say in the comments “it’s not perfect, but it’s beautiful because it’s human.” JUST BECAUSE ITS HUMAN DOESNT MAKE IT ACCURATE!!!
