  • Why do you say that? Do you actually believe that there’s a strict hierarchy of dating that everyone has to stay within? The whole “leagues” BS only sorta exists in society because some people believe in it.

    Reminds me of a story my French teacher told me in HS:

    One year he organized a class trip to Haiti for his students. Weird, I know, but it was a wealthy private school that could afford A) to send a class abroad and B) the security to reassure their parents that they’d be safe. Anyway, in the class there was a “plus-sized” girl who would get picked on by the rich skinny girls all the time. Queue the trip and apparently it became such a issue for the girl getting cat-called on the streets that a guard was assigned to be with her 24/7. None of the thin, fit, SoCal circa-early-Naughties, girls had this problem but in Haiti being “plus sized” meant you had access to lots of food and were wealthy. Anyway, moral of the story (and this part is apocryphal but was nevertheless told to me) is that the girl at some point exchanged contact info with a guy she met there, one of her prospective suitors, and kept a correspondence with him for many years until they were able to save enough money to meet in person again, here, stateside where they eventually got married. Eye of the beholder.

    How do you feel about Deepfakes? We all recognize that the person in the pic is Danny Devito but where’s he credited? Do you think he got any say or reimbursement for having his likeness stolen?

    Even in this spirit there are so much funnier stills from ISAIP that could’ve been used with credit to the creators that would’ve got the same point across. This trash appeals only to the lowest common denominator of people online (see: X)

    AI (image diffusion) is garbage and I can’t wait until idiots realize it’s only available right now for pennies on the query at an enormous deficit by billions in slush funds who are trying to prove a concept. But I don’t trust Xwitter idiots (and the people who eat their shit up) to not just add another $19.99/month subscription to their “budget.”

    And they made a good picture with said tool.

    Wrong. Even ignoring personal taste, “they” didn’t “make” anything. A computer software “made” a picture based off stealing the metadata of decades of human-made content. A person typed in a string of words and clicked a button a few times until they saw a picture that they liked.

    Finally

    Creativity: … I don’t feel a sense of pride when I order a burger from Burger King. I don’t think, “I made that” simply because I ordered the burger. However, if I make the buns from scratch at home and make the vegetarian hamburger patties from scratch at home and put together a burger, the process is vastly different and I did create a burger while experiencing the pleasure of the process of making it happen. This is why I get irritated when someone says, “I made this image” when referring to a generated image. You didn’t “make” anything. You had computer software generate an image for you.
