My brother sent me an AI slop image of a dream he had, and I was filled with so much spite and hatred I drew it myself just to prove a point. #Handdrawn #realart #fuckAI

Transphobic Dems need to be shown that being transphobic makes them unelectable, otherwise it will set a precedent that it's fine for them to do that. And then next it'll be gays. And then women. And and and. You know, like that poem or whatever

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

In my lifetime if we don’t go into anarchy mode can I at least have a dem candidate that talks like Obama but doesn’t drone strike brown people

It always comes back to this for me; if AI was so good, such a disclosure would be a selling point. If AI was everything these slop jockeys said it was, they should be proud to let people know their game was AI made. But the proof is in the pudding, and they can't stand that people don't want it.

I’m like 90% sure those people would be dead if they tried to fight her. I’m just saying.

Whenever my friends talk about people, I always have this thought at the back of my mind that they are talking about me, so I start acting like this behind my screen

Thinking more about this - AI is also going to be limited by its profitability. As an “art” tool, it sounds too good to be possible - because it is. Interest is drying up, and the ouroboros of billionaires funding AI has limits. Eventually, AI needs to be profitable… which will make it EXPENSIVE.

Sad, but it doesn't have to be inevitable. This isn't an advancement in film like talkies or color that audiences demanded. Audiences don't demand AI. They just demand a good movie. AI isn't about making good movies; it's just about making more money with less skill. #movies #scriptsky

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming
