#and turn back on the music/video

[imhoser]

Anyone who’s saying shit like “omg they’re gonna learn tumblr’s Culture” in regards to ppl moving from twitter to another shitsite are such major losers man. Majority of the Twitter™ people, the ones y’all are super afraid of Ruining the Vibe have more likely than not has had a twitter account and a tumblr account active at the same time.

Or they left and are returning bc tumblr’s UI has always been shit

want to give my two cents on the AI usage in the maestro trailer--

i think seventeen doing a whole concept that is anti-AI is very cool, especially as creatives themselves i think it's good that they're speaking up against it and i hope it gets more ppl talking about the issue. i also understand on a surface level the artistic choice (whether it was made by the members, the mv director, or whoever else), to directly use AI in contrast to real, human-made visuals and music in order to criticize it. i also appreciate that they clearly stated the intention of the use of AI at the beginning of the video

however, although i understand it to an extent, i do not agree with the choice to use AI to critique AI. one of the main ethical concerns with generative AI is that it is trained on other artists' work without their knowledge, consent, or compensation. and even when AI generated images are being used to critique AI, it still does not negate this particular ethical concern

the use of AI to critique also does not negate the fact that this is work that could have been done by an actual artist. i have seen some people argue that it's okay in this context because it's a critique specifically about AI, and it is content that never would have been done by a real artist anyway because it doesn't make sense for the story they're trying to tell. but i disagree. i think you can still tell the exact same story without using AI

and in fact, i would argue that it would make the anti-AI message stronger if they HAD paid an artist to draw/animate the scenes that are supposed to represent AI generated images. wouldn't it just be proof that humans can create images that are just as bad and nonsensical and soulless as AI, but that AI can't replicate the creativity and beauty and basic fucking anatomy that's in human-made art?

it feels very obvious this was not just a way to cut corners and costs like a lot of scummy people are using AI for. ultimately it was a very intentional creative decision, i just personally think it was a very poor one. and even if some ethical considerations were taken into account before this decision, i certainly don't think all of them were. at the very least i feel like the decision undermines the message they want to convey

i would also like to recognize that i myself am not an artist, and i have seen some artists that are totally on board with the use of AI in this specific context, so clearly this is not a topic that is cut and dry. but generative AI is still new, and i think it's important to keep having these conversations

Dysphoria is such a funny thing because there are days when looking at myself in the reflection makes me want to punch the mirror until either it or my sanity breaks, and then there are days (like today) when I'm just like "I got a haircut!! and I styled my bangs in a cool way!! I feel so masculine :D"

I hate when my phone won't let me have 2 audio sources running at the same time (depending on the app). I know what I'm doing, let me hear the discordant noises. My brain has built-in audio separation for music. It came as compensation for auditory processing issues. Don't make me pause the music.

Forgive me, I have not been myself For such a fuckawful time.

I just keep my head down, wait for the planets to shift around, and procrastinate my pain into doubt...

Lyrics:

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

I don't know why I did the things I did

I don't know why I said the things I said

Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside

Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes

I didn't really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry, but baby

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

(If I could turn back time)

My world was shattered, I was torn apart

Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart

When you walked out that door

I swore that I didn't care

But I lost every thing, darlin', then and there

Too strong to tell you I was sorry

Too proud to tell you I was wrong

I know that I was blind, and darlin'

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

And you'd stay

If I could reach the stars

I'd give 'em all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do, ohh

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time

(If I could turn back time)

If I could turn back time, ohh baby

I didnt really mean to hurt you

I didn't wanna see you go

I know I made you cry

But ohh

If I could turn back time

If I could find a way

I'd take back those words that have hurt you

If I could reach the stars

I'd give them all to you

Then you'd love me, love me

Like you used to do

Songwriter: Diane Eve Warren

If I could turn back time

(Turn back time)

If I could find a way (Find a way)

Then maybe, maybe, maybe you'd stay

(Reach the stars)
