Edit: in case anyone wants to understand, which this person doesn’t seem to, the problem with “you hate the cops yet you call them” is twofold:
A lot of us don’t call the cops. They’re useless at getting anything stopped or fixed, they tend not to care when it’s reported and often will only make your life worse. However, sometimes due to how the law and money work, sometimes we have to call them. Which leads directly into…
The cops have a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. That means that anyone trying to get justice in any other way than that sanctioned by the state will be in trouble with the state. The police’s monopopy alienates us from our own means of defending ourselves. We have to beg for scraps of justice from the table of our masters.
By making broad general assumptions and also missing the entire point? If you want to point out irony or what sounds like is better characterised as hypocrisy, it helps to actually understand the position you are criticising. Then you can critique it correctly and not just throw out banal, meaningless whataboutism, which is what you did.
I take it from your general attitude that you’re not actually curious to understand what the problem we have with the police is. Is that accurate?
Never have I heard someone quite as well capture the appropriate sound to make when you’ve achieved “yeah sex is great but have ya…” for gushing over all the specs that make something you’re showing off so awesome.
It works for cars, it works for stereo systems, it works for a new smoothie blender, it even works for the wildly unhealthy recipe you invented that’s dripping the most decadent yet delicious shit you could cram into it before serving it to your friends like you make Gordon Ramsey look like a Killer Cook.
Maybe, but have you ever heard anyone else do it? Would YOU do it? If you heard a friend excitedly Tim Allen grunt, would you ever really look at them the same?
Ah, but people often make manual art on a prompt (usually called a brief). It might even be why the text you give an LLM to make an image is called a prompt. I didn’t even get the joke at first because of this.
