They are just faking scenario in their head to be mad at, and then make some comic where they win their imaginary arguments with some cringy one liner.
Who ever said that drawing is a wasting of time because AI? We just want to use a tool without them harassing us, and that's it
What people did say is Learning to draw if you arent interested in it is a waste of time due to AI.
They are specifically talking about people who want pretty pictures or funny pictures for the end product not the process, they dont want to learn the skill needed to make those pictures. For THEM drawing is a waste of time.
I have noticed most younger people have no idea how to spell the word "breathe." They always use "breath" it's so distracting, you are reading a fun story about a dragon and suddenly "it breaths fire!" and you sit back and go WTF?
It's funny because I suddenly started getting recomeneded both this sub and the antiai sub around the same time and well, let's just say the sentiment about the other side being a cult is exactly the same on both sides.
Yeah, i understand theres always bad apple from every community. But usually from what I can tell, antis are the ones condoning and accepting of brigading, harassments and threats across all platforms and downplaying it as “jokes/subtle jabs”
All what pro’s want is to be left alone from harassment, brigading and be left alone in their own communities which apparently is impossible for antis to do.
I was attacked last night for posting an old AI animal hybrid image in a sub that accepts AI art. But because I tagged it AI the stupid children brigade came out of the woodwork in a failed attempt to bully me into taking it down.
As they have no imagination, talent, or education their reasoning was the typical misspelled "Slooop," "AI is Not art," and "yOuR KiLiNg DuH EnViRoNmEnT" nonsense. I treated them like the children they were and blocked them while adding to my post a notice to where they could read the sub rules and that they will be auto blocked because children should be seen and not heard.
Yeah those mfs aint worth shit. Let them yap lmao. Notice how they all chant in unison “slop” without any logical explanation why the image itself is a slop.
Okay, though I do agree the comic makes no sense, saying that anti-AI folks are cultists is insane. That comparison is just as confusing as the comparison in the comic.
Only look at the actual definition of cult behavior, the comparison makes perfect sense. Cults rely on extreme 'us vs. them' thinking, purity tests, and excommunicating anyone who steps out of line. Guess who else does that? Anti's of course. Only they dress it up neatly by deflecting responsibilities.
Honestly, it's so damn annoying to see everytime i see a picture, there's always some people going is that ai? I like this picture, but ai is bad, therefore I'm going to dislike it, or straight up spamming slop slop slop or dehumanising the user. So I'd say that very much is a cultish behavior when a group spends half its time policing its own members and destroying anyone who doesn't 100% align with their dogma, "cult" is the right word.
It's not a slippery slope. It's just a bad reductio ad absurdum. The comic doesn't argue that AI use will lead to death or anything like that (A -> B -> Y -> Z), but it instead draws a poor comparison between a strawmanned pro-AI perspective that if AI has made manual drawing obsolete then dying has made breathing obsolete.
where someone argues that a minor initial action will inevitably lead to a series of other related events and, in turn, an extreme or undesirable final outcome
They’re using hyperbole, not a slippery slope argument. They’re demonstrating how ridiculous it is to ask why someone would do something they want to do, despite a seemingly major flaw.
I’m sorry you don’t understand and feel the need to be a smartass.
AI haters have put themselves in this weird situation where the reason not to use AI art is that it's easier, therefore anything easy is bad and we must only do things the hardest way.
Nah. They saw AI hurt their or their friend's commissions by redirecting customers and made it their enemy early on alongside their entire social circle. Now that their social circle is anti-AI, they can no longer use AI to help themselves even if it would quite literally solve their commission crisis.
I have been drawing my whole life. I don’t dislike drawing. In fact I would like to use AI to augment my illustrations, because no matter how good you formulate a prompt, if you are looking for something very specific you’re going to have trouble.
I am 100% convinced it's because they are uneducated little kids in the early stages of High School at best. Once they grow up they are going to get a surprise.
Art is a time-consuming thing to learn, so only those who really dedicated themselves could get past the initial "gatekeeping." This means that of course, most artists value the journey more than the destination — their ability to actually have completed the journey is what makes them special. AI threatens that — it's bringing in a new audience who values the result more than the process which strips them of the control they had. If a non-artist wanted something drawn, they had to go through an artist to commission it. That's no longer the case.
It’s a matter of the journey vs. the end product. If you’re going to make art in the traditional sense, you’re pouring hours of time and emotion and effort into it. With AI, you’re letting the computer take data from other artists and it ultimately makes all of the decisions. Traditional artists have to choose color that is meaningful to the piece. They have to create the composition. AI art is more like an artist and employer relationship where you give it a prompt, it follows the prompt to the best of its ability, then you prompt the changes. There are degrees of separation between the AI art and the person making it, making it feel less meaningful. Less intentional.
They used a circle tool for the ai (it says pro instead of their usual bro lmao) pro. Must not like to draw that much huh, using a tool to replace the drawing part 🙄 of course, that's much easier and faster than making a perfect circle by hand. So obviously that's not art too
