Did you even read the post you’re responding to?

I agree with you. I think the problem is localization. If all buttons are text they’re going to need translation and word length will vary. It’s doable, yes. But a series of icons takes up less space and should ideally communicate universally…it’s a little better if done right. If Photoshop was a bunch of words I’d be pissed off.

Also, I thought Ratchet and Clank ran at a solid 60fps.

That’s a good argument. I get this. The problem that I see is that you aren’t very present in the art. The AI is 100% leading you with what it knows. AI is essentially helping you create a collage of all the styles and bits of image content on the Internet. How are we going to develope new styles? A human can use their imagination and skill to create something groundbreaking and pioneering (artists had to break ground and fill the world with this art for AI to be even able to do this). AI is just going to continue to remix remixes of remixes. It’s sad to me. That’s not really what art is about. I’m not saying AI art isn’t useful. It’s a remix machine.

Right now, a game, an album, and um… oil painted MTG Myr Tokens?

I don’t think that is a fair comparison. Electronic musicians don’t outsource song construction to an algorithm that copies all the other songs on the Internet. Even though they can use midi instruments, sequencers, and samples (which do carry a known risk of copyright violation) they’re still composing or performing.

Thank you for describing your process in such detail. I’m sorry if this is going to come off as overtly contrary; that’s such an impersonal convoluted way to make an image. There are good illustrators out there that can sketch roughs and make a beautiful finished painting in a night, all right out of their head. Frank Frazetta would be laughing in his grave at AI art.

“Oh no! My blue check!!” It’s not real and it’s not a display of power like he thinks.

During class. You made up “study time”. No one cares if your on your phone studying during “study time” in the library. But if someone is lecturing you shouldn’t be on your phone or have earbuds in.

Wrong. Get off the phone.

Did you just say everything is moving away from computers? Dunce.

But you said your job should teach you.

I’m saying that your not going to find a job that teaches you unless it is an apprenticeship (which is not a common thing outside of trades anyways)

So what is your argument then? “Not everyone needs to know Thermodynamics”. Maybe that’s why that is an advanced class in highschool. Do you just not like people getting a general, well-rounded education?

It looks like an English teacher never taught you how a paragraph is formatted, Mr. I-make-a-new-line-after-each-sentence.

College is school. Early education teaches you skills to be a competent adult …and so we don’t have a population of mouth breathers.

I hate to burst your bubble but you have to go to trade school to learn the basics of welding, then you can grab an apprenticeship to learn how to do it professionally.

Your are very ignorant of how professional work is conducted. Companies want to higher people that know how to do their job and have years of experience doing it. Some places do have entry level or junior positions where some training is expected. But in general, you will be hired for the skills you have (not because you have ‘potential’ and they would love to spend months teaching you).

For welding and electric work, that is often learned through an apprenticeship, which aren’t easy to land either. That’s how a lot of trades work. But most jobs do not just offer apprenticeships or ‘free teaching’.

Also, have you ever heard of Trade School?

EDIT: If your argument was true I would just ask to be a brain surgeon and have the surgeons explain it to me.

Or as that article mentions, it is also known as a Shit Sandwich. Mostly because we don’t refer to sandwiches by the bread.

It’s common knowledge now. This is not an unpopular opinion. There’s a metric shit ton of research and studies that show all the ways social media is hurting us. There’s a plethora of books written about it. It is the most current topic in New Media Theory.

Ok Dwight.
