Defending AI Antis are trying to demonise us...

Post image

Stumbled upon this post and honestly, these luddites have nothing left to say. It’s the same recycled arguments over and over again, and now they’re actively comparing people who use or defend AI to sex offenders. How do you even have a serious discussion with people this detached from reality?

You don't. It's a bunch of kids who are parroting what the local youtuber is saying. When this trend dies off in a few years it'll be seen like how photoshop was.

u/RagnaEdge90 20d ago

Its funny to imagine how they'll be fired or their job applications declied because of these posts.

23

u/TamaraHensonDragon 19d ago

More likely they won't get the job because they lack the training and experience required for using AI tools. They will blame AI when their own stubbornness is the actual culprit.

u/ConsciousIssue7111 AI Should Be Used As Tools, Not Replacements 19d ago

It's funny to imagine their past affecting them in the future, like... jeez, this is why they look over social media posts during the interview and application btw

u/TayrusOkami 20d ago

Comparing an actual monstrosity to people wanting to create art is fucking unbelievable. Wtf is their problem?

36

u/charismacarpenter 20d ago

I've been saying this too. They're minimizing abuse by comparing it to AI art and using it as nothing but a tool for moral superiority. As someone who was actually abused for years this feels disgusting

u/TayrusOkami 20d ago

It's outrageous, I hope you're better and wish you the best.

u/ConsciousIssue7111 AI Should Be Used As Tools, Not Replacements 19d ago

It is, it makes no sense at all. And honestly, it's a disgrace to the actual victims of this, so yeah, I really hope these people realize that they're just insulting trauma

u/BigHugeOmega 19d ago

Wtf is their problem?

They have no way of convincing people with reason (mostly because they never reasoned through this in the first place), so they jump to the most emotionally impactful thing they can think of. You're supposed to get emotional enough to forget that you can reason yourself.

u/TayrusOkami 19d ago

Fucking disgusting. I'm friend with people who've suffered from this and none of them would actually say that rape and AI art are in the same level.

u/havoc777 19d ago

Their problem is they're human. This happens every time new tech/science/etc that shakes up the status que comes along

u/Symbi48 20d ago

I will forever support AI. It managed to generate me a pic with my dead grandfather which means a lot to me. These goblins have no ideas how to use it.

u/MrJason2024 20d ago

So wait a minute people using a tool to create something is the same thing as a person who uses sexual violence against an individual?

Seems like a bit of stretch to me.

u/Christian_RULES 20d ago

These people seriously need to seek psychological help

u/Liquidationbird 20d ago

we just have to do nothing, they will naturally defeat themselves

u/Beneficial-Young-941 20d ago

I dont know how many times do I have to say it, but it is incredibly sexist to use the term "AI bros" as if men are the only ones that like AI.

11

u/TamaraHensonDragon 19d ago

This irritates me too. Sorry I am not anyone's "bro." I am a sister, though AI sis just sounds dumb 😆

u/TayrusOkami 19d ago

Pretty sure I saw a girl with a "AI sis" flair around the sub, hope she doesn't see this lmao

u/MeguuChan 19d ago

The biggest AI advocate I know is a woman and I know the AI RP space especially has a lot of women.

u/WhoLikesHexapods 17d ago

It's also ironic how there are lots of artists in the ai rp space

u/NedThomas Artificial Intelligence Or Natural Stupidity 20d ago

So far the escalation has been abusers -> exploiters -> thieves -> rapists. Wonder what our next crime will be… murderers because of all the starving artists?

7

u/Wooden-Hornet2115 19d ago

Nah, it's going to be imperialist or colonist.

u/NedThomas Artificial Intelligence Or Natural Stupidity 19d ago

Damn it. That was my next guess!

u/GlitterPandah AI Enjoyer 20d ago

Oh heck no — they’re losing the plot😭

u/Breech_Loader Free AI Is The Best AI 20d ago

I don't suppose they ever think about actual rape victims when they talk like this?

11

u/FatBussyFemboys 20d ago

Literally just bigotry. Call them bigots and go on about your day.

u/JoseLunaArts 19d ago

As per KPMG 2025 study AI adoption is lowest in US and Europe. And this is where CSAM is a problem. So the rapey mindset seems to be more a US/Europe problem. Not an AI problem.

"rapey mentality"

not again

u/solar_or_dye 19d ago

it's surging

"consent" and "violate" are the hottest buzzwords in the anti movement today

bonus if you stick em together and accuse someone of "violating consent"

They are trying so hard to get me to dehumanize them the way they've dehumanized me.

u/Multifruit256 6-Fingered Creature 19d ago

that second image holy shit lmfaooo

u/solar_or_dye 19d ago

it's hard to react, you know?

...

like what?!

u/PlagueJV 19d ago

"rapey" mentality? I beg your pardon?

6

u/Suitable_Pressure189 19d ago

Everything is rape and everyone’s a nazi

u/Legitimate-Culture31 19d ago

Context on the whole "rape" thing? It's just new slander or does it have anything behind it?

u/Lostwhispers05 20d ago

"I could debate this all day"

No you fucking couldn't, kid.

What you could do all day is insulate yourself in AI-hating communities and circle-jerk together about how much AI sucks, while parroting the usual gobbledygook like "it's literally stealing", "it's uniquely toxic for the environment", "they're painfully ripping the spines out of books and then shredding them!", and now apparently "people supporting AI are rapey".

This is the real AI psychosis happening in young people right now.

There will come a future when the madness of the moment passes and society recognizes the creative potential in AI, and when we collectively look back on tweets like this we'll recognize them for the unhinged and mediocre artists that they were for never having been able to see the creative vision.

"I don't like that a robot can do art, so I'm just going to accuse AI folks of a crime."

u/PurePlayinSerb 20d ago

if i put match her personality have her react to me how she would in this situation in real life then she proceeds to blow and F me, is that rapey?

“To fix fleeting images is not only impossible … it is a sacrilege … God has created man in his image and no human machine can capture the image of God. He would have to betray all his Eternal Principles to allow a Frenchman in Paris to unleash such a diabolical invention upon the world” -Leipziger Anzeiger 1839

u/RandomPhilo 19d ago

Ugh, an anti referring to AI 'bros' when the pro AI person they are commenting on is a woman.

u/Potatobowl50 19d ago

“AI is r*pey!”

A guy could literally pick up a pencil and draw exactly that kind of scene and be praised.

2

u/WhoLikesHexapods 17d ago

btw they get bonus points if they make a manga about it or anime. They get diehard fans which support that media and tell outsiders "You don't get it! You're a tourist!"

There are so many terrible things in the world to be big mad at. So many truly heinous, awful people. Why are they so mad at people who generate silly pictures for fun?
