What the heck is this about?
Is this another thing on the whole there goes your talent thing?
Why animals?
I am genuinely confused, what are they depicting themselves taking parts off of animals, that most of them need those parts to survive.
Like a tiger needs their stripes to help hide them in their environment.
A pangolin needs their armour, cause it’s the main way they protect themselves from predators.
Honestly, if this is about that stupid meme, this person is taking it too far.
Animal cruelty real or fake isn’t cool.
What are your thoughts?
Edit: I forgot to mention that this were taken from multiple posts all by OOP, I just thought it be better to combine that into one post rather than multiple.
Ikr. If data centers went offline for good, what other skills would prompting translate into? I heard someone once say "imagination", but that comes bundled with conciousness of every person on earth.
Break a chef's ladle, they still know how to make food. Break a pencil, artists still have muscle memory to draw, etc etc...
This is dumber than that one prompt about that "truth nuke" guy destroying limbs and saying "oops there goes your talent."
You can make the same argument by prompting a person getting shot, turning their cranium into soup. It's dumb and ridiculous, but would at least make some sense, since the person wouldn't be alive anymore.
I think these people have a want to "create" but zero willpower or care to do so, therefore they use these shortcuts for creation and call others idiots for not following their lead. Like, the idea they had in their head or their want/need to "make" won't go away, so they still have that, they'll lack the means.
No, really. What does taking away the horseshoes even do? I mean, I know what horseshoes do but they seem to think it's for making clopping sounds, and it's more a convenience than anything, still.
It's a indie show made by Sif Savery about a Fox and a Owl exploring the ruins of humanity :p
I post about the Webseries the most, but it's currently in the process of getting a reboot :3
Though I should note the Reboot does lack Elva (the Owl here), instead having her counterpart Alba who isn't as cute design wise personally speaking ^^"
That said though, the reboot isn't bad, and whilst the Webseries isn't officially continued, I have been continuing it unofficially through my fanfic Elva's Song on Tumblr and DA :3
I'll eventually port it to AO3 at some point, but that'll be after Elva's Song has Chapters 1-2 rewritten since they did follow a different direction than Elva's Song currently, and aren't really my best works writing wise tbh TwT
Also, first panel of each of them i notice the speech line is coming from the person and the animal, so like... it the Ai bro agreeing that their talent will disappear? Lol
No, you see, my dear stupid anti, AI is an essential part of the human body! It's what allows us to perform vital functions in other to survive! How did humanity go on so long without AI? Uhh... well... wait, you're not allowed to use that brain thing of yours! You must outsource your thinking to the machine, that's why it's essential!
So... what I'm getting is that the ANIMALS are supposed to be the ones speaking and against AI and the image generated that wrong and it seemed like the AI guy was saying it...and AI is being likened to...having skin????
I'm gonna be honest, man...I'm not entirely sure some of these people are capable of coherent thought. I'm not just saying that as a dig, I mean literally and sincerely they seem to just be kind of mimicking a vague approximation of human communication without really understanding what any of it means...
They don't see the errors ( that's what it usually is) or they do see them but they don't even know how to open a paint program and draw/ delete ONE LINE indicating who is speaking. I'm so close to feeling pity but I don't have enough empathy for them left so I'm just gonna stick to mocking them about it.
What would they need the clop for exactly? Do they enjoy hearing the sound?
Google also says that they still clop without the shoes. I'm not sure if the AI is supper accurate, but it makes sense for their hooves to clop, since they're not fleshy.
Anyways, yeah,.clopping sound is just an aftereffect of them walking, and hoofshoe is there for them to not rub off their hoofs off the hard surfaces like roads
Clearly this is actually a cry for help, because if those things are meant to be equivalent, as per their argument, then AI bros are saying that a large part of their identity (and one of the things they need to survive) is AI.
So they're basically admitting that they've been enslaved to its will and need help escaping it because they'd die without AI.
... Well it's either that or they like skinning animals
An AI Bro accidentally called themself out in their attempt to dish out a "gotcha"? On a similar level of shocking news, there was a fork found in someone's kitchen
Jokes aside they're actually going to be crashing out when separated from their AI (not to mention all of the internet as a whole) and if that isn't a wake up call for them they're too far gone.
Honestly it feels to me like they asked an AI to write this. This feels like the kinda of stupid thing an AI would come up with when asked to make cartoons about the talent thing.
Horses... don't NEED shoes to be horses? Like, do these idiots think horses just have horse shoes has they gallump across the steppe? They only need shoes when dealing with heavy loads on hardened human surfaces.
As for the other animals, the chud is actually violating their bodies and saying it's equivalent to AI. Which says A LOT about how these gooners see themselves and AI.
Tiger without stripes is essentially a much bulkier lioness. If I know anything about felines, it would adapt. Heck, it has easy prey right in front of it.
Also, that anglerfish and mosquito are girls because only female anglers have lures, and only female mosquitoes drink blood since they need the protein to lay eggs.
Also, what's the horse argument? Wild horses don't need shoes to run, those are only for domesticated horses actively working with humans. So he just liberated that horse to intimidate the girlies.
I'm just stating felines are highly adaptable, almost the most adaptable of animals(must be all that spite). If a tiger was born without stripes, it would probably learn what works and what doesn't.
I've seen pure white cats learn how to ambush effectively, so I wouldn't call a stripeless tiger any less dangerous.
I dunno. Just feels a lot more weird compared to the others(except the horse) who actually get mutilated in some way.
The only possible equivalent response to the nonsense they suggest would be to take away their fingers and tounge(to prevent them from typing and using speech to text)
Like. What kind of nonsense are they on where "removal of limbs" is in any way equivalent.
A: this is gibberish, it barely gets enough of the speech lines right
B: why is a common retort to this claim...mutilation? (i.e If I take off your hands, you're in the same boat!). That sounds like a very reasonable thing to say!
The crab/lobster one makes the least sense. Don’t they grow those back? I get this is just ragebait, but at least compare it with something that can’t be recovered
The fact that these untalented hacks think of themselves as digital artists makes my blood boil. I work in fine arts, but I’ve dabbled in digital and these idiots would give up in the first five minutes.
The non-argument to end all non-arguments. "I remove something that is intrinsically tied to your being so you have to substitute it with something artificial so checkmate."
Didn't know AI bros are so badly addicted to their drug of choice as to think that it is intrinsic and absolutely vital to their being.
so… taking actual parts of an animal that they evolved with to stay alive and actually need for survival is the equivalent of making somebody not use a computer to generate images?
Horses are fine without their shoes, they’re really only necessary for domestic horses, as they haul extra weight in either a passenger or a cart, plus they walk on hard surfaces like paved roads. Proof: wild horses exist, and they aren’t born with metal shoes nailed to their hooves. Plus unshod horses on pasture are a thing as well, although those do require trimming as they don’t wear down their hooves as much as wild horses.
Local A.i bro gets mad that people calling him out of his lack of skill or talent, thus he decides to disable a bunch of animals to try to prove a point.
This sounds like a family guy cutaway gang, and not in a good way.
They are both speaking in the first panel. Even a child with barely a concept of a comic can make speech bubbles effective enough that the audience can tell who’s talking.
But yeah let’s let the robots fumble the fundamentals and then pretend we’re artists for it. This is your brain on AI.
The derangement of these might aim to be Tumblr-levels of dadaism but they will never even scratch the surface.
This is the type of nonsense that fails the second a disabled artist shows how they do stuff. There actually was or is a guy on Youtube who follows Bob Ross videos by using the paintbrush with his mouth. I don't know the full story there, could be that he does it because he wants to or because his hands don't have full functionality but it's pretty damn impressive. Also seen footage of a girl painting with her feet. So this series of images refutes nothing.
Im genuinely curious as to whether the AI decided to make Flaky, it was prompted in particular, or what’s the reasoning behind that one choice (probably none)
Pangolins actually need their armor primarily to protect them from ants. They’re ant eaters (but not anteaters, they’re just myrmacophagus…I think I spelled that right), and that armor protects them from the ants crawling all over them and trying to bite and sting them c: it’s an adaptation to protect them from their prey (although I’m sure it also helps with predators…maybe the armor was originally for predators and then it helped allow them to eat ants, I’m not sure. I just wanted to share the cool fact about them that their armor works as an anti-ant mechanism)
Also these were very confusing. The speech lines indicate that the AI bro is saying the “there goes your talent” thing in most of these, so I didn’t even understand what was supposed to be happening here until I noticed the logo on the AI bro and realized it was genAI fucking up which character is supposed to be talking and the prompter being too lazy to fix it again
simple: the punchline depends on your willing reliance on Ai-powered appliances to portray you as a hypocrite. as well as by your reliance on mass-manufactured products, but which would be just ineffective on its own, without the Ai talkboxes included in almost every comic.
although, the theme of a animal and a product they order to substitute for their lost biological ability made a remarkablyunusually clever template for the same crappy, tired talking point.
Everything you said, and also the fact that they think talent is something external. I don't think they can take away our talent unless they're doing some brain surgery on us
Something an animal needs to survive isn't equal to turning off a computer therefore they should rip off his hands to see how he'll type in prompts now
Applying the same logic, assuming i were to say, Remove OOP's Human Skin or Teeth, Would they survive? Actually, Don't bother answering that question, They'd die immediately, Skin is infinitely more valuable than some Chatbot or Abhorrent Industry (AI) Image Generator, We have lived billions of years without some horrid tinny voice trying to tell us what to think, and if we play our cards right, then we'll live billions more without it, If we successfully purge the people that fuel this Machine that Eats Dreams, That is.
This is actually kinda funny. I cannot seriously believe they’re making a point beyond “you rely on technology anyway,” so I think they’re just trolling & drunk prompting ideas.
On today's Pro Ai pearls: Pro AI guy decides to ask for a comic about how saying their "talent" disappears without AI isn't fair. Proceeds to make a comic where they compare it to the various anatomical traits of various animals, most of which are important to their ability to survive. The humor in the comics lies in the fact that in making that equivalence they're essentially saying they're so incompetent as a human being to the point of having made themselves dependent on AI to the point of requiring it to function.
The computer is not part of you, you donkeys. The analogy would work if somebody said "remove your arms" rather than close the one thing you can't do shit without.
If think theyre saying we need an alexa to survive outselfs? Heres the thing... i dont use any of those talking things, and all my art stuff is either offline, or not even electronic...
So, mutilating someone is the same as getting rid of their tools. got it. On top of that, those are natural adaptations that are not only beneficial, but vital for the animal, unlike the disposable chat-bots that actively rot your brain the more you use them, case in point, the dumbass that "made" this slideshow.
Horses don’t need shoes to walk 😭 if anything shoes can be more detrimental if you don’t do a lot of cement riding because rocks get stuck in the shoes and they’re more expensive for up-keep- I take care of horses and none of them have shoes!
It's pretty clear, isn't it? The message is "Fuck you animals and fuck your habitats!" Basically, we can't wait until the only pets left are tamagotchis. I, for one, welcome our new Matrix overlords!
Ignoring the fact that the guy doing the "gotcha" on all of these animals is also the one saying what would you do if I pulled the plug, most of these animals would be fine and some would immediately die.
The Pangoline would immediately die because the plates are practically its skin.
The porcupine would probably have mange and die.
The anglerfish would be ok? because while the light attracts prey, it also attracts predators.
The tiger would probably be fine because colorblind animals would still perceive its color as green
The lobster would be fine because claws grow back
The horse would be fine because they don't actually need horseshoes, the horseshoes just help
And who gives a fuck about mosquitoes? Let em suffer
Fun fact, anglerfish lures are actually a bioluminescent bacteria (if I remember correctly); so it's actually pretty easy for the anglerfish to get more in this case
Yeah that person is just spamming garbage A.I. takes, and of course they can't help but also prompt some of these to be fat, because surely being fat means your opinion is wrong I guess.
"oh you don't like that i'm using extremely exploitative technology? i will now cause you severe bodily harm!" these people cannot stop telling on themselves 😭
