So it begins.
Right
For sure, yes. I’m not arguing that AI has its uses. The main thing I was discussing with my friend was that the way AI is used commercially right now is damaging to a lot of industries, that it’s a trend being used by companies to make their products looks better than they are, and that they profit off other peoples’ work. AI is a tool, yes, but what I was so adamant about was that there should regulations and policies that make clear what is and where it’s ok to use and what isn’t
Both ideally. But I get your point
I think the main difference is intent, inspiration, and feelings portrayed through art. AI may be able to replicate a certain style or use a motif, but the three aspects I mentioned are absent with an AI. It is, indeed, difficult to put into words what you mean - I’ll give you that.
When he’s not being a contrarian, he’s a very good friend whom I’ve known since I was 10. It’s just when it comes to these subjects, he’s not talked to
I might give this a shot.
Yea, I think it’s equally important to know when to move on from things. No point in trying to win him over. It’s just frustrating to realise that there’s no convincing your conversation partner
I’ll check these out, appreciate it!
Could you elaborate what working conditions you mean specifically? Not sure I know what you mean
The thing is, they aren’t really counter-arguments. For example, I mentioned that AI being used to create art is theft* because artists aren’t credited and their art is used to create amalgamations out of thousands of pieces of art. He argued that it’s just the same when an artist draws inspiration from other peoples’ art and creates their own - which is just plain false. In his eyes, this might a valid counter-argument but it isn’t, right?

I don’t know, I thought I might try it to shut him up. Probably no use
Yea, I essentially gave up. Tired of arguing and convincing him when there’s no convincing. It’s just so frustrating to not be able to do anything about this
Their CEO is a nutjob tho
Thanks, just made a meme with it :)
Enshittification, the rise of micro transactions in mobile games over actual in-game mechanics that make the game interesting etc
That’s actually good advice
Awesome! Is it a special edition 3DS or is there a different reason for getting it from Japan?
Consider putting custom firmware on the 3DS - opens up lots of possibilities and gives you access to pretty much any game you could ever want
vegan btw
I stand corrected, then
