I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. (www.adobe.com)

I expected ridiculous propaganda from Adobe, but they give absolutely no reasons why Photoshop is better than Gimp and list a bunch of things that Gimp can do too....

No, don’t you understand? It is not for image editing

So fat shaming came over from reddit along with awful jpeg memes?

WillFord27 ,

Do they ever crawl on you? I’ve found that if I ever spot a spider in my house, in the next week I’ll find it somewhere on me

WillFord27 , (edited )

Had a spider bro in my bathroom for a month, one day he disappeared. The very next night I woke up to him crawling on my face. It was unfortunate for us both.

I think the spiders here hide well, so the ones I spot are the risky ones that don’t mind scuttling over me.

What’s worse is the perfectly fine food your multi-billion dollar company makes you throw away. And no, you may not bring it home for yourself.

Don’t let the bastards grind you down

I’d still eat it. Just scrape off the burned bits with a butter knife, it’ll taste the same underneath. The texture might be a bit off though

Don’t trick kids into watching porn.

Funnily enough, I thought the article was written by AI. I guess they trained it off something, lol

Amazon has been listing products with the title, 'I'm sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy' (www.businessinsider.com)

Amazon has been listing products with the title, ‘I’m sorry, I cannot fulfil this request as it goes against OpenAI use policy’::Products have appeared on the platform with odd titles that are seemingly related to OpenAI’s usage policy.

Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you!

WillFord27 ,

I mean, didn’t Robin Williams hang out on obscure forums? It’s not entirely out of the question. I do imagine an actual celebrity would have lost the novelty of being a celebrity, though

WillFord27 ,

Is this a popular opinion? I’m sort of shocked at the amount of upvotes this got tbh. Lemmy fulfills my reddit cravings, and honestly feels like a more mature community to me

WillFord27 ,

Unfortunately, everyone still thinks of Lost as the show with a bad ending. Even though it’s completely misinterpreted.

WillFord27 ,

Just have your favorite band not release a new album for a decade. cries in streetlight manifesto

WillFord27 ,

By any chance, did you watch it when it first came out? Lost was made to be binge watched in an era of television before that was commonplace. It holds up much better if you can watch an episode every few days, instead of once a week.

WillFord27 ,

Season 4 is actually regarded to be one of the better seasons of the show, the beginning of season 3 was awful though. Also they do flashbacks throughout the whole show

WillFord27 ,

I believe trans and non binary people prefer Latinx

WillFord27 ,

How the fuck did you manage to get an upside down thumbs up

WillFord27 ,

IT CAN BETWO-THINGS.

Yo

Human beings are sentimental creatures. Faith often conflicts with logic. As a person who doesn’t believe in any sky daddy, I find it kind of inspiring that someone who’s smart enough in math and science could still believe in their religion.

WillFord27 ,

I appreciate you providing a source instead of telling the other commenter to find it themselves. You didn’t have to, but you did anyway, and I think in this day and age that’s very respectable.

WillFord27 ,

Why are the trees… gooey?

WillFord27 ,

Fuck these shitty puns, I’m logging off.

This assumes music is made and enjoyed in a void. It’s entirely reasonable to like music much more if it’s personal to the artist. If an AI writes a song about a very intense and human experience it will never carry the weight of the same song written by a human.

This isn’t like food, where snobs suddenly dislike something as soon as they find out it’s not expensive. Listening to music often has the listener feel a deep connection with the artist, and that connection is entirely void if an algorithm created the entire work in 2 seconds.

WillFord27 ,

A needle in a haystack is much harder to find if the haystack is the size of a truck. People don’t have infinite time to listen to music, and if it’s almost all the same, they’ll stop trying to find upcoming artists, ai or not.

WillFord27 ,

I believe it will depend on a couple different factors. Putting keywords into a generator isn’t the same as laying your hands on an instrument, being able to physically play it yourself. However, if the result is so perfect and beautiful that a person could have never possibly come up with it on their own, it might be discouraging (but I can’t really see that happening)

WillFord27 ,

It will depend on whether or not we can empathize with its existence. For now, I think almost all people consider AI to be just language learning models and pattern recognition. Not much emotion in that.

WillFord27 ,

Those are a bit of false equivalencies, because all of them still required human input to work. AI generated music can be entirely automated, just put in a prompt and tell it to generate 10 and it’ll do the rest for you. Set up enough servers and write enough prompts and you can have hundreds of distinct and unique pieces of AI music put online every minute.

Realistically, putting aside sentimental value, there isn’t a single piece of music that humans have made that an AI couldn’t make. But I hope your optimism turns out to be right :/

WillFord27 ,

I can’t tell if you’re completely missing the point on purpose, or if you actually don’t understand what I mean lol. Who said anything about Taylor Swift?

WillFord27 ,

I don’t understand where they got any of that from, lol. It’s like they learned what a parasocial relationship is earlier today and they thought it applied here

WillFord27 ,

I feel like the machine itself would be the art in that case, not necessarily what it creates. Like if someone spent a decade making a machine that could cook FLAWLESS BEEF WELLINGTON, the machine would be far more impressive and artistic than the products it made

WillFord27 ,

I noticed some of your comments are disappearing from this thread, is that you or mods?

WillFord27 ,

I like these examples. Taken to the extreme, I would still consider a piece of ai generated sheet music played by a human musician to be art, but I guess it’s all subjective in the end. For music specifically, I’ve always been more into the emotional side of it, so as long as the artist is feeling then I can appreciate it.

WillFord27 ,

Oddly, I’d find a piece of music written by an ai convinced it was a chair extremely artistic lol. But yeah, just because the algorithm that’s really good at putting words together is trying to convince you it has feelings, doesn’t mean it does.

WillFord27 ,

Personally, I choose to believe that the people around me are real. In theory, you can’t trust anyone but yourself. I know language models don’t have humanity. I guess that’s the difference.

WillFord27 ,

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, you’re completely right. I’d never seek out to listen to something with no human thought process behind it

WillFord27 ,

That’s sync’s interface, but I don’t see the option in the free version

WillFord27 ,

I want you for the Starf Leet

WillFord27 ,

Should’ve been gas and clutch for a nice big rev

WillFord27 ,

I’ve nearly shifted into 2nd gear from 4th before, the car was NOT happy, but there were no explosions. Granted, I didn’t fully let up the clutch, but still. Mistakes happen.

WillFord27 ,

I was going highway speeds, I was going from 4th to 5th but decided to go back into 4th (or something to that effect, it was a while ago now). The shifting itself was easy because I had the clutch in, but as soon as I started to lift off the clutch it got pissed

WillFord27 ,

It’s hilarious how lemmy users generally think of themselves as left wing but refuse to admit that veganism is both morally and sustainably the better option

WillFord27 ,

Unfortunately it seems they thought that there were 438.9 poodles

WillFord27 ,

I think people are fully misunderstanding this comment

WillFord27 ,

He do look like a total sweetheart, he’s got those sweetie eyes

WillFord27 ,

This is an old thread, but taking your first comment into account, doesn’t this make them guilty until proven innocent in your eyes? If your first thought is “what a fat lazy fuck” without knowing their story? That seems unnecessarily judgmental, and I can’t help but wonder if it comes from a place of insecurity, maybe left over from your own history with weight
