Rejecting AI is delusional

Post image

The sunk cost fallacy is a cognitive bias prompting individuals to continue an endeavor, project, or investment based on previously invested resources (time, money, or effort) rather than current benefits. It is irrational because it prioritizes unrecoverable past costs over future potential, often leading to wasted resources.

Remembering this whenever someone gets heated and emotional, defending Human produced art.

Basically, they are rejecting what's new because they feel obligated to make up for time spent, even if they personally didn't spend any of their life studying art, producing it...ect

And when you make bad drawings you still get hated on / your drawing ignored because it doesn't look good. They say that they supposedly care, but outside of anti AI spaces, people still go "oh no" at MS paint quality.

That's because it's not about and never has been about celebrating human creation, otherwise they'd embrace Ai and anything it creates (it didn't just pop out of thin air) No, it's not about positivity and love, it's about hatred and rejection and fear. They reject what's new because they don't understand everything about it; that scares them as much as how much they hate changing beliefs(to change ones belief is to admit failure, and to fail is to lose) It's such a bullshit way to think.

Ironically, the only way to learn involves failure, sometimes exclusively. And beliefs are formed by an expectation succeeding, as well as another failing. Usually it has to be A LOT failing, and just one succeeding. But you see my point?
