In which AI glazers continue to be utterly shameless assholes

Yeah. "Autistic" does not and should not imply "ethically stunted". I am autistic. Of course I am driven to solve problems. The drive to solve any particular problem, however, is greatly reduced when a large group of people whom I consider peers band together and state as loudly as they possibly can that they do not want it to be solved. Anyone who endeavors to solve such a problem anyway should re-evaluate their life choices and consider whether their clearly impressive talents could be put to better use.

Sincerely, an autistic programmer who can't draw for shit but still hates genAI with a passion.

Came to say this. Leave autism out of this. You can be a narcissist asshole without being autistic. And techbros are just narcissist assholes, autistic or not.

I can code, but I'm still not gonna use that to compensate my inadequacy at things other people can do well. I'd rather contact an artist for a commission than have the Plagiarism Machine produce it.

(I'd also rather not contact strangers with personal requests, because I'm worried I'd come across as overly obsessive with details to the point of cramping their style and I don't want to make strangers uncomfortable, so the odds lf me ever commissioning art are about the odds of me making friends with someone who happens to produce art in a style I like, but that's beside the point. "No art" is still better than "stolen art soup".)

I know artists who are autistic.

They got a blue check on twitter, is it any wonder they are a trash person?

The trait all assholes share isn't their religion, race, gender, sex, neurological status, or social class.

It's that they're fucking assholes.

I get it, though. Even if you aren't pro-AI, some just do it for the lulz.

Bold move to still consider them people.

People thinking autistic lack empathy because they don't engage in the two faced bullshit social games everyone else does, when actually they have a better sense of morality and ethics and social boundaries and empathy than any of these fuckers ever will.

Finally someone who says it

I never got the point of asking an unreliable non deterministic model to write code for you when programming languages are literally right there, they almost always do exactly what you write

And there's plenty of deterministic ways to do code assistance too

Oh my god, this. I thought I was the only one.

The despair I feel when I hear imprecise, natural-language English described as the only viable future of my profession, precisely because it is going to allow people who are not analytically minded to become professional programmers, is difficult to properly describe.

which will fail, as it is so very hated

Even if everybody loved AI, there's no way it could succeed. The more popular it becomes, the more money they lose.

It is envy, I suppose.

Pissing people off means thinking about them and thinking about people makes my brain hurt.

Yeah, the answer is that most of the creative community is a bunch of tolerant lefties. Not exactly a group prone to random extreme violence.

I’m a pro artist and AI is helping me quite a bit. People bring slop to me same i make the real thing. This is so much more helpful than people bringing crudely drawn images or trying to describe with words.

It’s not going to hurt artists unless your art is fairly low value (oh boy can’t wait for the complaining about my experience).

Low value art is mostly digital art. Sorry to say. Learn to paint and you’ll be fine.

I feel like 4chan moved over to twiter or at least they use both sites

thats a good sentance

I guess I'm a simple man, I respect consent and don't proceed without it.

To be fair, read the room.
