I agree but that’s irrelevant. The public’s approval of a person only matters if that person was elected to a position by the public. Musk was not elected, so his approval ratings amongst the public do not matter.

This motherfucker was not elected. His approval ratings do not matter because nobody voted for him. Jesus fucking Christ.

Oh, I see, you took my comment as directed at OP. Not so. As mentioned there is a strong current of anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy, and it’s often in the vein of “there’s no soul” etc. I was taking aim at that in the context of OP’s comment (because it raises an excellent point), not OP themselves.

Am I, indeed? In my view, either AI art is nothing like human art in which case it’s easy to distinguish, or it’s similar enough that it’s not easy to distinguish, in which case it’s got to be at least very similar.

There’s no middle ground here, you can’t logically hold the belief they’re obviously fundamentally different but hard to distinguish from one another.

If you disagree with that and want me to agree with you, you’re gonna have to tell me why it’s wrong. Sorry, I don’t just change my mind at “nuh-uh” 🤷

proving something is human created and definitely not AI is hard

Is it? I thought we could just look for the soul and/or intention in the art? Because as everyone on Lemmy knows and is always saying, AI art isn’t art because it lacks both soul and intention. Therefore, it should be easy to tell it apart from real proper human art. Shouldn’t it?

I wish more people could understand the brutal reality of these situations without having to live them. It’s not just chanting and throwing a punch or three, and then going home. It’s going to be horrible and nothing will be the same afterwards; a lot of people we love are going to die, and the outcomes we want aren’t guaranteed, even if we win. If it’s a fight that has to happen, then it will, but nobody should be looking forward to it even grimly.

His tiny, tiny hand?
