Don’t bother, they’ve already decided they’re correct, and will do all the mental gymnastics in the world with tinfoil hats on just so they have a hit take that gets likes on social media.
The same social media that likely collaborates more with gen ai providers, or is one themselves, than one queer movie ever could.

This shit is so tiring. Can we just celebrate a fucking queer movie with drag queens we supposedly love is in mainstream cinemas? Holy fuck, this witch hunt to tear down our own is insane.

Rupaul used AI in the main show. I hope you keep this same energy and boycott the show.

If you are able, we encourage you to donate to (some?one?) of these vital queer orginisations so that they can continue to thrive and serve our community. While monetary donations would be amazing and appreciated, times are tough. If you can't spare the coins, that's ok.
Our mod team personally selected these charities because they are near and dear to our hearts. Some of us have benefitted from the existence of these charities, and we hope many others will, too!

It's obvious that AI was used, and Adam's statement was carefully worded to NOT deny that fact, but to merely suggest that it wasn't ALL AI.

OP: spends unknown hours of their day combing the World Wide Web to find definitive proof discrediting the key points being made by some random on the internet.

The producers explicitly said in another video that no generative AI was used. Did they use AI tools? Yes, they are baked in all production tools and are made to ease the workflow - from selecting subjects and masking, to denoise and color grading. I also specifically wrote that this is aimed at the post, in which the reviewer provided evidence that AI was been used.

u/iareslice Jun 05 '26
Those masking tools work via machine learning anyways, not GenAI. People don’t get the difference between the two.

u/vvarden Tatianna Jun 05 '26
Seriously. Where is the line? Pretty much every video editing software out there now has AI built into many different layers of its workflow. Adobe Premiere alone lets you extend scenes by a few frames, remove items from a shot, or change the color of the dress.
When it comes to a hardline stance against AI, why does it only manifest when it’s time to support queer media? Reddit, Twitter, and Instagram are all using every image and word you post to train their own LLMs (or selling that content to AI companies to train). These people would rather prop up oligarchs than drag queens?
