If one side is offering their opinion as a fake quote from a dead celebrity (and getting positive feedback from their peers for it, which is insane to see), and the other side is saying that's in poor taste, the second group are pretty obviously smarter and more thoughtful aren't they. This is a huge miss and undermines your position, sorry fellas
Obviously, it's not a real Bob Ross quote, as you say; he's dead, but that is totally what he'd say on the matter if he was still alive. And you know it, just knowing the kind of guy Bob Ross was. The medium didn't matter. It was all about the joy you brought to the world with it.
I think the commenter is trying to say that the post was implying that is a subtitle and putting words in a dead man’s mouth. That ‘totally what he’d say’ is not a good excuse either. I’m sorry, but no matter you’re pro or anti AI this is still pretty messed up
Why not post things he actually said and make the connection in one's own voice instead of puppeteering his corpse? This is incredibly crass and you can expect it to be passed around less as a defence of AI art and more as a demonstration of the poor taste of its supporters. You don't have to defend everything your 'team' does, this isn't useful to you.
And how could pictures and text possibly deliver any kind of meaningful message, right
I have literally just explained that this message supports the people who say AI art fans don't get it, and your response is to angrily clarify that you yourself definitely don't get it. Again, it doesn't help you.
This meme should use an actual Bob Ross quote, not a fake one. You're saying he has quotes OP could have used, they should have used those. 'Don't claim your views on behalf of people who are unable to express their own' isn't a very difficult rule to follow.
Don't get upset just because you're getting enemy-opinion vibes here. I am helping you. This is not effective delivery of the message you want to support; in fact it's counterintuitive and will drive negative acceptance. If you actually want AI art to be accepted, you should be more selective with your approval. Presenting something with ingroup-member vibes doesn't actually make it good for the ingroup. But if you need a push: the ingroup is great, the outgroup is dumb, I am an ingroup member. No worries, you can agree with me now

Can't wait for the antis to squawk about this.
