time and time again, people ask creatives if they’d think it was cool if they didn’t have to do their art and a machine did it instead and are then surprised when the answer is always NO!

crazy, almost like you shouldn't have done that shit in the first place

“I just don’t know how you go around, asking everyone first. I just don’t see how that would work,” Clegg said. “And by the way if you did it in Britain and no one else did it, you would basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight.”

Ah so maybe the “depictions of fictional violence is the same as real violence” people and “ChatGPT should have personhood” people are maybe the same type of people

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.

“I have seen movies, short films, completely created by artificial intelligence,” Herzog said. “Story and acting and everything, they look completely dead. There are stories, but they have no soul. They are empty and soulless.”

Get their ass, Werner.

When we say that many Americans have a 6th grade reading level this is what that means. At a 6th grade level you can read most texts and absorb their surface level meaning, but it’s not until an 8th grade level where you grasp things like subtext, metaphor, and ulterior motives.

♨ naïve dumbass @atticusgf.bsky.social · 11d

A huge amount of critics cannot engage with writing more complex than YA Lit, do not even understand the meaning of subtext, and are unable to comprehend that there can be main characters that are intentionally unrelatable, unappealing, and morally bad.

Dominic Tarason @dominictarason.com · 12d

It's amazing how many critics just turned their ENTIRE brains off when faced with that game.

"The devs gave Keanu a big role so we're meant to be empathizing with this Johnny character"

No, the game is wildly unsubtle about Johnny being a narcissistic idiot who wants to fix capitalism with nukes.
