Like was it a meaningful debate or a flat out flame war? And what was the main theme you were arguing over?

    You know that’s not even slightly similar, don’t be trying to do “Behold! A man!” this isn’t fucking Ancient Greece

        You are obviously “good” at arguing. You have made a clear point. I didn’t mean for this post to generate arguments .

          I’m attempting to educate. There are literally people on here that believe that AI is “a database with auto-complete.”. It’s so ignorant that it would be funny, if they hadn’t organized into an angry mob out to slander anyone who dares use neural networks to boost their productivity.

          It’s a classic case of ignorance breeding hatred, and the only way to resolve it is for them to understand the technology. Unfortunately most seem unwilling to incorporate understanding into their worldview and cling to misconceptions.

          I don’t enjoy arguing, I just can’t abide misinformation causing derision.

            I mean I am not against AI. I pay for ChatGPT plus. My brother and I have gotten rogue type AIs off the dark web and mess around with them locally. I use Gen AI for reference images to look at when I draw. They are also for inspiration. I just feel it is an injustice to artists. If it were somehow possible for Gen AI to credit the sources of its generations, which I don’t believe is possible since the training is baked into the AI. That would be advantageous. Regardless, I don’t have any real strong opinions for or against it.

              I respect you and your opinion, Orc, and I appreciate your presence on Lemmy. You’re polite and pragmatic, a very charming combination.

        Wow it must feel so good to “win” every discussion, huh? Who knew that the secret was to just never ever thoughtfully consider what anyone else says and to cling to your argument no matter what.

        Because who cares about being right when you can make yourself feel good about the thing you believe, right or wrong? Genius!

          What argument? They didn’t argue anything. They just said I was wrong. You’re a hoot.
