It’s funny how recognizing AI art nowadays is just the same old rules as recognizing the fae in old tales.

“Count the fingers, count the knuckles, count the teeth, check the shadows…”

… and under NO circumstances should you make deals with their kind.

I’ve started getting replies of that kind, and I’d like to politely invite fans of AI generators to take their proselytizing elsewhere.

I did NOT live through machine translation’s methodical ravaging of the translation industry, only for y’all to welcome the same ghouls into the one last refuge I have.

@erkhyan if your talent can be replaced by a machine, easily and reliably (these are important criteria though) then you did not have a talent in the first place.

I'm all in for human excellence but what you just displayed is pure ignorance.

@smicur Shut the fuck up, that's not only plain wrong but straight up an evil thing to say

@book to be fair, the definition of "talent" is not very precisely defined, it can always be up to debate. In literature, literary translation definitely has such requirement.

As for the morality of replacing talent, well morality is also very subjective. On my behalf I refuse that there was anything inherently wrong in what I said.

If your abilities are replacable, and someone decides to do so, well, that's pretty fucking normal. That's half part why we have the job market.
