I don’t relate to everything you said, but I will absolutely agree that one of the really annoying things about the AI industry is how they’ve convinced so many people the tools can do anything.

I’m a graphic designer, and I’ve been asked by clients to use AI gen in some projects. By far the most irritating part of this is the client requests. They believed the hype and now want the most insanely specific and complicated images out of it, despite specific details being the thing AI is the fucking worst at. I have to do so much post production work to get them something close to what they want out of these slop machines.

It takes so much time that it’s not even bad money, but the process is so unfun that I dread it every time.

I was gonna say this too. Que Sera Sera, Livin’ la Vida Loca… I’m sure I could think of more.

Isn’t this true for all social media, and anything posted on the public web?

A lot of sus accounts seem to be coming from this instance I’ve noticed.

Seconded. Anyone who’s afraid of it, try a lengua taco sometime. You will not regret it (and no it doesn’t look like a tongue once prepared).

You’re not supposed to eat the shell

Trump probably doesn’t know where he is right now. Have you seen him lately? He’s a barely coherent geriatric.

Nice conversation takes conversation skills, or finding people that already think like you do. Based on this conversation it sounds like you’d prefer the latter.

I’m guessing I’m getting pruned, so have a good one buddy 👋

Well, don’t be surprised if people have a bad response to someone being rude/blunt/argumentative.

If you want to change minds you’re going to need to work on social skills, too.

Based on what you said your goal is I think you’re going to need to grow a thicker skin if you don’t plan on changing your approach, or you’ll need to work on your presentation and conversation skills if you want a more positive reaction from people.

What have you been saying that pisses people off so much?

I’m amazed how worked up people get about down votes.

Hustle culture is a cancer honestly. Way too many people have internalized it and feel guilty for resting. I put myself in this bucket too, but I’m working on undoing that cycle these days.

Not going hard 100% of the time doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you healthy. Lazy is so far on the other end of the spectrum.

As a small designer who puts a lot of effort into my work, I also hate shit like this. That amount of money would literally be life changing for me and they would have gotten something actually new out of it.

In a couple years they’ll right the same shit about why it’s a square again

I think games are on like a minimum of 3 services this year. It’s just out of control.

I think it’s gotta be my phone, because other devices on my network don’t seem to have the same problems

Thanks for the recommendations!

Beef has gotten truly insane where I live. I’ve completely stopped buying it.

If you ever have to open a command prompt, you’ve already lost them.
