Surrender Dorothy

It's not a coincidence that pro-AI people often compare creating something VS AI with washing dishes yourself VS using the dishwashers.
They don't think of creating something as being meaningful and pleasurable on its own, but as a chore whose only part that matters is the end result.

Survey question: “Do you think people should have a right to know whether a text was written by AI or a human?” 99.5% - Yes 0.5% - No

Fortunately, there’s one point on which we found near unanimous agreement: AI content should be clearly 👏labeled 👏

Survey question: “Have you ever felt your own work could be mistaken for AI-generated content?” 45.4% - Yes. 54.6%- No

This one came as a bit of a shock: nearly half of respondents felt their work could be mistaken for AI…

“How important is it to you that a piece of writing is authored by a human.” 94.4% - very important. 2.5% - somewhat important. 0.1% - not important.

We love this one. Almost every single one of you believe that human provenance is a must. (And we couldn’t agree more.)

Survey Question: “What is your main reason for avoiding AI content?” 34.8% - because I value human-created work. 33.2% - Ethical concerns (e.g. training data). 25.5% - AI content is lower quality. 3.6% - other. 2.8% - depends on context. 0.2% - I don’t think about it much.

…the reasons for the aversion were more or less evenly shared across the board.

Survey Question: "Do you actively avoid content you suspect is AI generated?" Yes - 97.8% No - 2.2%

First thing’s first… AI generated content is remarkably unpopular.

Personally, I would say that “a lot was learned from The Last Jedi…”

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

Worf and guinan phaser fighting

Okay but if it’s Worf, a high stakes phaser battle IS the hobby

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

First they came 2

God help you

Some guy accused me of spreading misinformation. What does he think I am, an AI?

eventually he was executed

This is single handedly the funniest scene from any Star Trek

Except for that one time where the creator tried to do something different and everyone got really angry and wouldn’t stop complaining about how he ruined their childhoods…

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back "chronologically reimagined" trailer YouTube video by Philly M.

extremely funny that the Star Wars fandom has finally come full circle and is now ADDING cgi VFX shots to their fan edits of the original trilogy (excellent video btw!!!)

That being said Requiem scared me more than any game in the entire franchise with the possible exception of RE2 remake which is the most terrifying game I have ever played in my life

There’s different tiers of horror. I know people who don’t like horror, and they view a “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” in the same category as a “Friday the 13th”. Sure, one is scarier than the other, but both scary. Us horror fans can have fun with a “light” horror, but they would just see it as “horror”

Honestly I relate, trans people are awesome, it’s so validating to be able to choose your gender, even if it’s the one you were assigned at birth 🏳️‍⚧️

Love how this implies that the alien queen survived the vacuum of space and made her way back home

You trademarked it? Does this mean I’m stealing from you if I don’t pay you a fee when I nap today?

Anyone who isn’t under the age of 12 finds MrBeast dull and annoying

The fact they invited Dan Olsen and Doug Walker to a wine and dine to ask them “how do you build fandom” shows how desperate they are. Markiplier has a fraction of Jimmy’s subscriber base, yet his fandom is 10 times as loyal, so it’s worth infinitely more.

That (ironically) is exactly why he will never to be as ubiquitously popular as he appears to be

Immigrant Song: Defending Zack Snyder's Superman YouTube video by Visions of Hope

On #SupermanDay I’d like to share why, in these divided and xenophobic times, Zack Snyder’s immigrant-coded Superman perhaps deserves a reappraisal.
