Oh. I see. My best guess was wrong. That’s okay. I understand where you are coming from.

I mean I am not against AI. I pay for ChatGPT plus. My brother and I have gotten rogue type AIs off the dark web and mess around with them locally. I use Gen AI for reference images to look at when I draw. They are also for inspiration. I just feel it is an injustice to artists. If it were somehow possible for Gen AI to credit the sources of its generations, which I don’t believe is possible since the training is baked into the AI. That would be advantageous. Regardless, I don’t have any real strong opinions for or against it.

I am a fairly new Christian so I cannot relate. I know who John the apostle is but I don’t know about the evangelist or apocalypse fever dream John lol. Never heard those terms. I’ve been reading the Bible consistently for about a year. I still have a lot to learn in order to properly debate anything about it. For some reason I worked backwards. I read revelations first and tried to make sense of it by them reading the gospel and parts of the old testament. I still skip around but never do I take the Bible literally. I mean some commands are straight forward but I cannot wrap my head around the fact that Job was just whipped out of nowhere by the devil and it doesn’t show him like freaking out because the devil either showed up or was whipping him somehow from the spirit world. It was the first book I really connected with.

What!? Really!? That’s insane. It’s the whole boomer generation for ya. Millennial and even Gen Z are now having kids and most I talk to are completely against hitting their children. It’s definitely boomers and Gen x (maybe Gen x) .

In America. Especially inner cities, there is a fear of small amounts of lead in tap water. I still drink it but I flavor it. Old city pipes are made of lead.

Sourdough and true Italian asiago.

You are obviously “good” at arguing. You have made a clear point. I didn’t mean for this post to generate arguments .

Same.

We can agree to disagree.

What sparked my initial thought to post this question was an argument about something very trivial. It was grammar. So I was wondering what other people had argued about and someone wouldn’t let them be right because this person always had a rebuttle. What a total troll? Yet, I had verified evidence. Very trivial thing.

That’s an amazing distinction.

They will argue with anyone because there is no consequences behind an anonymous account.

An artist stealing in the way Pablo Picasso argued is not the same as a company using copyrighted material to train its AI. Companies are held to a much higher standard than an individual artist who steals a few elements from other artists to create their own style. Machine’s don’t have these rights. They must comply with what companies have to comply with. There is no debate.

Yeah, Lemmy is a bit more sophisticated and civil compared to other social media. That is why I always come back.

There is no debate. Everyone has the right to exist. How could someone argue against that. They are just shouting idiocy.

Mathematics will always fascinate me. I am too wise to argue with experts on it. I am not that naive. I love the YouTube channel Numberphile. It really kept my attention better than “college math” lol.

So who was better? Ren or Stimpy?

I agree. Sometimes people who value equality forget about equity. That is helping others to achieve their own level of equality. A person in a wheelchair needs a ramp, a person with an invisible illness needs accommodations, too. Equity is almost always overlooked but it is necessary for true equality to occur. I wrote a whole paper about this in college.

What about women in video games?
