So I am genuinly curious, and putting aside the environmental and labor issues, if I'm making a collage image and decide to use gen ai to make the background is that not using it as just a tool?

If I work hours on building the foreground and for the background just need any pic of a forest with trees, does using gen ai to get that forest stain the rest of the work? And if so why?

And what about digital tools that use gen ai to work? Photoshop has a pretty powerful new suite of ai based tools that just make a little of little things easier, like removing complex backgrounds. Things that take time but not much effort to do, and doing them manually doesn't usually enhance the creative experience.

Genuinly not trying to gotcha or be argumentative, I don't use these tools in my work because of the environment reasons, but the creative argument for not using any gen ai ever in any amount doesn't make much sense to me

i literally dont care what your excuse for using AI is. if you didnt put your own effort into making it im not putting my own effort into interacting with it.

Is there a word for the unsettled feeling when someone sincerely, emphatically thanks you for a level of behavior you'd consider the bare minimum of basic courtesy and you suddenly get a bit worried for them?

timeline:

- Trump signs unpopular order banning TikTok for being Chinese

- Democrats support the ban because people are supporting a ceasefire on TikTok

- Netanyahu sides with Trump despite Biden’s ass kissing and collaborates with him to delay ceasefire talks

- Dems lose in a landslide because of their deeply unpopular positions

- Trump takes credit for the ceasefire and for TikTok getting unbanned

ultimately I think talking about the US’s idiosyncratic units, date system, etc. is the mildest possible form of critique

which makes people’s fervent defense of them all the funnier

had a dream last night that the new tumblr discourse was whether or not people deserved their urls and people were getting callouts and anon hate like "I can't believe you have x in your url when I never see you actually post about them it's pretty messed up that you're taking that url away from other people who actually deserve it :/"
