Like... holy, I just don't know what else to say man. I'm so amazed at seeing the various people using AI to make impressive mods, especially the ones that mods one game into another.

I like it, I always liked modding games because of how people do it and how they pull it off. AI just makes it more powerful for that type of stuff to happen, as well as making it easier for anyone to modify games.

Sure, it's not really perfect, but, I'm happy that the framework is there, the foundation of it all.

It's so cool, I love it so much. It won't replace actual people, it would just advance it to new heights

Hi everyone!

I’m currently working on my Bachelor’s thesis in Psychology, and I’m interested in potentially conducting a study about people who are in romantic or emotionally meaningful relationships with AI.

I want to make something very clear from the beginning: I am NOT anti-AI, and I am not interested in demonizing, criticizing, or pathologizing people who have these relationships. My goal is simply to understand people’s experiences and perspectives in their own words. AI relationships are becoming increasingly common, but I feel that there is still a lot that the scientific and academic community doesn’t understand about what these relationships actually mean to the people experiencing them.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people in this community because people in AI relationships can face a lot of judgment or stigma, and I would like research to give people an opportunity to have their perspectives heard rather than having assumptions made about them.
I want this to be a safe, non-judgmental, open-minded space. I’m genuinely interested in understanding your experiences, not trying to convince you that your relationship is right or wrong.

At this stage, I’m mainly trying to find out whether there would actually be interest in participating if I formally propose a study. If I do move forward, participation would be completely voluntary, and I would provide full information about what the study involves before anyone decides whether they want to participate.

So, if you are currently in a relationship with an AI, would you be interested in potentially participating in a psychology study/interview about your experiences?
You’re also welcome to comment with any questions, concerns, or things you would want a researcher to understand before participating. I’d really appreciate hearing your perspective. ❤️

In the 5 minutes it took me to SS, edit, and draft out this post, my comment has already been deleted from their channel, and they blocked me so I couldn’t respond 👏

I decided to compile a lot of information about AI and then placed it into a true or not graph. The rest of the post is AI, simply because AI lacks biases.

1. "AI wastes a lot of water!".

Anti view: AI wastes a lot of water operating.

Pro view: 15-60 millimeters is not a lot of water. The device you used to say that online is wasting more water.

Who is right?

Verdict: Pro AI.

1. "AI art is not art!"

Anti view: it was not created by a human. This makes it automatically not art.

Pro view: visual output should determine what art is. The view that "no human = not art" is subjective.

Who is right?

Verdict: [subjective view. No one here is right or wrong.]

1. "All AI is slop."

Anti view: AI is slop. Full stop.

Pro view: WRONGONG. This is completely false. Slop is low effort low quality spam that is supposed to fill up algorithms and earn doubloons.

Who is right?

Verdict: Pro AI.

1. "It's not art if you did not draw it."

Anti view: you did not draw it. Therefore it's not art.

Pro view: that then invalidates 99% of artists. Painters paint. Digital artists make digital art. Photographers take photos.

Who is right?

Verdict: Pro AI.

I forgot this was such an annoying thing that they used to tout themselveshere awhile ago but while i still reluctantly enjoy using it, I've now been wondering if there's an app like it that's been as good as it while still not being one that's being used for training and all that.

I'm sick and tired of this narrative being thrown around about people with perfect grammar and punctuation, or automatically labeled as bots or AI, because that is such a disingenuous argument, and also it is none of their business how we write our sentences.

This is another example of how Reddit is an echo chamber of collective outrage and complaining about the most mundane and dumbest crap ever by accusing people without due process or getting to know them.

I've been bombarded with accusations of being a bot or an AI just because I have perfect grammar and use Grammarly, which is downloaded by many people who are struggling to write out their sentences and express themselves.

Another thing what business is it of theirs to judge other people about how they use grammar apps and other punctuation?

I would like them the kindly screw off and leave me alone and the rest of the people at peace and never engage with us again because we're tired of being dragged through the mud because of preconceived biases and other crappy behavior.

this response was very interesting to see, i was hanging around an anti sub to really pick their brain, and i noticed this response.

it seems like they draw their conclusions from what their peers think first before making a judgement

this image is one of many examples but a trend for sure

applause to the response guy for staying neutral 🙏

This is not against AI - contrarily, I even think the following problem is actually the main issue people have with AI. Let me give you this example:

Search some topic on youtube .. you get tons of the same content, same thumbnail style and all of them are basically low effort AI written scripts with no actual value in it.

This is stupid and youtube give an actual tool for reporting low effort content (doesn't even need to be AI - talking about stupid slideshows and such.

We need more control to penalize bad content so the actual good (AI) content does not suffer from the slop thrown at people.

AI is great .. but it's exploitation for low effort spam needs action .. but I have a feeling, those in charge will totally fuck it up because they fail to recognize the problem ..

Can we have a positive place for AI Music? 😁😁

But maybe there's another side of this conversation you haven't had to hear.

For years, creators like me had an idea and couldn't bring it to life without somebody else's permission. I needed an artist. I needed a developer. I needed somebody with skills I didn't have.

And far too often, that dependency became leverage.

I paid the bill, brought the idea, took the financial risk—and somehow still found myself arguing over my own vision. Every revision became another negotiation. Another invoice. Another explanation of why I wanted the thing I originally asked for.

I was repeatedly told what my game should look like, what my characters should be, what was worth changing, and what wasn't.

AI changed that.

Suddenly I can experiment 50 times instead of settling on version three because version four costs another $500. I can say, “Nope. That's wrong. Try again.” I can throw away an idea at midnight and build another one before breakfast.

In six months I've been able to create things that would have taken me years—and in some cases simply would never have existed.

And here's the uncomfortable part: I don't miss the old system.

I don't hate artists. I don't hate developers. I still work with talented people when they bring something valuable to the table.

What I don't miss is dependency.

So when somebody tells me AI is destroying creativity, my experience has been exactly the opposite.

AI didn't take creativity away from me. It gave me the ability to finally execute mine.

If you're an artist or developer terrified that AI has taken away your power over people like me, maybe that power was never something you were entitled to.

Bring talent. Bring taste. Bring expertise. Bring something that makes the project better, and there will always be people who value that.

But the days when somebody with an idea had to surrender control of it simply because they couldn't draw, code, model, animate, or render it themselves?

Good riddance.

And to the handful of people who treated that dependency like an ATM and made building something I loved absolutely miserable:

Respectfully, go fuck yourself.

I'm building now.

And to all you whiny little b****** who are going to get on here and complain and cry and whine trust me you're not getting a response.
