I'm a conservative bigot only when it comes to AI
See, that narrows it down

I despise whenever someone talks like this about drawing. Everyone can draw. Nobody was born being able to make masterpieces from day one. It's not some mystical arte that only those with the Chosen One gene can do. It all comes down to a willingness to try and to learn. That's it. Using "talent" to bar yourself from doing so is only doing yourself a disservice. Even drawing silly little stick men is still practice, and I can attest to that from both first and second-hand experience. Just pick up a pencil, or boot up paint on a computer (but please, at least download paint.net or something), and you'll find that you can indeed draw, you just have to do it enough to gain confidence. It's like walking, or driving a car. I don't see anyone saying that some people have innate driving talent and some don't.
That's absolute bullshit. I spent years trying to get good at drawing. I bought lots of books on how to draw and was never able to make anything that didn't look like it was made by a 5 year old. I even learned Photoshop and Illustrator cause I thought that those would be a gateway for me to get better. Spoilers, it didn't.
So go fuck yourself with your "everyone can draw" horseshit argument. No, not everyone can draw. And it doesn't just take "working hard at it till you're good". You have to have talent. I fucking don't, as well as lots of others out there.
And I said in my comment as well as many other places, these AI drawing sites need to compensate the people who's talent they, at this point in time, have stolen. Just because I think the technology has purpose doesn't mean I don't think that there are problems with it.

Ahh yes, not the literal theft of billions of peoples' work. Not prematurely replacing jobs with machines. Those are all totally cool things LLMs are doing!
... You and your type are fucking clowns.
See! Immediate attack on me. You don't know anything about be and what I believe.

Hence why I didn't say people who don't do it are lazy. Laziness is an inherently capitalist ideal, saying that those who aren't constantly working are somehow lesser. However, those who don't at least try tend to quote the idea of a "lack of talent", which is simply not true or helpful. Everyone is able to draw, though some may need some help in doing so. It's part of being alive.

You must only be reading web forums like Lemmy/Reddit. I think society as a whole is very excited by the idea of AI.
Companies everywhere have been racing to be the first to add AI to their products, for instance. Not just tech bro companies either. Everybody.
Edit: so many downvotes and no comments. I see AI hype everywhere, it’s a fact. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, just that it isn’t limited to tech bros.
You got me wondering, and it seems like opinion is mixed among US adults
Overall, we saw mixed emotions around the rise of AI. 39% of Americans feel positive about AI while 20% feel negative. The most commonly expressed emotion was curiosity, followed by interest and worry.
It seems to hold true internationally too
People are most likely to say they are concerned (32%), curious (30%), and hopeful (27%) about artificial intelligence.
...
24% of respondents said AI will make our lives better. 41% of respondents think AI will make our lives both better and worse. Only 10% of respondents think AI will only make our lives worse -
Equating someone lacking talent for something with literally being disabled is a pretty stupid take.
-
That doesn't narrow it down, are you a conservative bigot, or just an AI-hater?
My conservative neighbor posted something online about the gays "shoving their lifestyle down her throat." That phrase must be being pushed from Fox News or something.

Aren't you OP? Also, people currently understand "AI" (a marketing term) as "LLMs" and audiovisual producing software. Had you mentioned it in the late 90s, it would've been more about "The Matrix" kind of sci-fi AI, for instance, and before it would've referred to Cameron's Terminators or Herbert's "machine intelligence". Words and their context. You're being purposefully obtuse because people here wrote thoughtful comments disagreeing with the premise in the image you posted (and apparently agree with) and you don't like it as it makes you feel silly. That's all.
OP in this case would be the Tumblr user sexygaywizard who made the post in the image

I think there’s plenty of people that are excited about AI. And I don’t necessarily think that’s a good thing. More than 32% of people should be concerned about AI.

I mean, I don’t believe copyright should even exist. But if that’s true, then companies likewise need to release all their models freely to the public, which they won’t.
“Copyright for me, not for thee” seems to be the mantra.

I'm really happy with my ASUS Zenbook 14 (16GB memory, 512GB SSD, Intel Core Ultra 7 255H), which I got for $700, in case you're still looking for a recommendation. Absolutely worth it IMO, though I'm running Linux, so the Copilot key is mapped to the compose key.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Went with an Acer. Best keyboard, tiny screen borders for a fairly compact 16” screen, 32G, 2TB, 3.1 lb …. I forget which CPU, we looked at so many.
The big question is battery life, and we decided to risk it. For a claimed 9.5 hours battery life when new, will it still get through a realistic full day of classes for the next four years. Hopefully

It is a favourite phrase of homophobes and transphobes; it's often given as the reason when you ask why someone is against pride parades

"AI" is not just LLMs or diffusion models, and that's what I think OPs is about, like, do you also hate Stockfish? Or enemies in a videogame?
wrote last edited by [email protected]You're correct in a technical sense but incorrect in a social sense. In 2025, "AI" in the common vernacular means LLMs. You can huff and puff about it, and about how there are plenty of non-LLM AIs out there. But you might as well complain that people mean silicon-based Turing-complete machines when they refer to a "computer," even though technically a computer can mean many other things. You might as well be complaining about how a computer could refer to someone that does calculations by hand for a living. Or you could refer to something like Babbage's difference engine as a computer. There are many things that can technically fall under the category of "computer." But you know damn well what people are saying when they describe a computer. And hell, in common vernacular, a smart phone isn't even a "computer," even though it literally is just a computer. Words have both technical and vernacular meanings.
In 2025, in the language real speak in the real world, "AI" is a synonym for "LLM."

Clearly they do not know what it is when they say, "LLMs and video game AI are the same thing!" No. No they aren't. At all. In basically every case, they are wholly different.
No idea what you are talking about. The largest majority cals LLMs artificial intelligence. Because lnguistically, LLM is simply a subtyp of AI.
In public discourse and marketing, “AI” has become a blanket term for anything that learns and writes like a human, and LLMs fit the bill. So as a linguistic shortcut, when LLMs got popular, people replaced that specific kind of AI with just “AI. By definition, an LLM is a kind of AI, a specialized system trained on massive text to generate language, making it a clear hyponym of AI. That relationship justifies calling LLMs simply AI.
There is also because of generic reference: It's easier to say "I used AI" than to specify "I prompted a 175B‑parameter transformer model."
I sorry dude, but these are jusy linguistic mechanism at play. You can shout and complain so you want, it's AI. It's AI. Get over it, find a different hill to die on.

ITT: exactly what the tweet was about.
(Edit: It was a tumblr post.)Y'all just saw "AI" and started frothing at the mouth about LLMs when, in the context of the tweet, it might just as well have referred to path finding AI in a video game.
you could be talking about video game AI... but are you?

See! Immediate attack on me. You don't know anything about be and what I believe.
If you take offense at what I said, that implies you believe something else. Believing something else other than the truth makes you either dumb or brainwashed or both. See how easy it is to apply logic when you're not letting a mindless computer do your "thinking"?!

Art can be made out of literally anything. Trash, pieces of fabric, some chalk on a sidewalk, spray cans, arrangement of random objects, sea shells, etc. People will still love to look at shitty sketches and cute chibis and eagerly repost that art. Your medium doesn't have to be just paper and pencil, nor just an expensive digital screen and a paid paint program, but even then digital can be free. Kritia, MS Paint, Sketchbook, IbisPaint, Fossify Paint, and many more are free and easy to download on Android. Procreate is cheap and loved by many. There are people doing this shit on their phone with their finger and a lot of determination.
None of these artists started out making masterpieces, they had to take the time to get to where they are and learn. Thousands of free tutorials are online, on both YT and other social media platforms, for any kind of art medium. Years of work and practicing every day. Even for those who are making masterpieces now, they take probably days or weeks to finish off a major project, they can't just pump that shit out.
If you can't draw or photoshop images well, that's fine, as not everyone is able to do that skill. I want to learn to draw, but I can recognize that I probably don't have to time right now in my life to do that, nor will I likely be able to reach the level I dream of, and I accept that. But the moment you decide to get mad at the people opposing AI art and using AI to Photoshop, or you yourself ever use AI to do such acts, then I will gladly call you a lazy bastard. You can't have your cake without the effort that others put in to do it, and if you're doing it for commercial purposes, you should be dragged through the streets.
Art is art because a human put their thoughts and feelings behind it. It causes discussion, whether good, bad, happy, angry, etc. AI art is only amazing on the surface, "wow, we have the tech to do this" and then it stops being amazing. Either way am artist/digital designer or don't make whatever it is you wanted. Using AI to make art is embarrassing.

Such as LLMs.

You don't think there's any thought put into AI art by the creators?
Art is art, it doesn't matter what tool or medium was used, what matters is it reflects the artists intention or vision.
