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

being the upstairs neighbor with a cat that is literally addicted to his cat wheel and scream cries if i take it away from him feels criminal. but here i am, silently groveling to my downstairs neighbor while i let nova get his sprints out before i take the wheel back down.

for the record I’m playing P3P on my switch right now and remembering the theoretical persona au like “man I could do something with that” like it would not, by necessity, be like 200k words and overwhelm me halfway through. but. I could do something with that,

1,2 and 7 for the soft asks :")

sending this ask put u thru the wringer it seems Wisp LASJHDBJ Thank you for the ask!

Questions from: Soft Asks ask game

1, what song makes you feel better?

I typically don't listen to music when I'm sad... unless I'm trying to get sadder LMAO but here's some songs that just.. make me feel good (or better): no way ! (yot club), rufus (yot club), human nature (yot club), talk to you - acoustic ver. (Ricky montgomery), could this be love? (saturn 17), guest room (carter vail),,, Okay I need to stop now LMAO I have WAYY too many comfort/feel-good songs (based on vibes, not on lyrics)

2, what’s your feel-good movie?

I don't watch a lot of movies... but... hm.. I guess to spare myself overthinking this question, I'll say The Croods, I watched this movie on repeat as a kid and I can see the nostalgia of it just being soo comforting if/when I rewatch it :')

7, what color brings you peace?

If you asked me this two years ago, I'd have said blue, but I've changed! Red and Orange make me feel cozy, happy and don't hurt my eyes/give me migraines... (As much as I love blue and purple, blue/cool colors strain my eyes, the blue-light filter on my phone is a life-saver :'))

Anyone else ever put on a YouTube video of a science or history topic you're interested in and then turn it back off bc whoever runs the channel isn't being autistic enough about it? Like I don't wanna hear someone trying to mimic a documentary tone so hard they end up sounding like the fitness gram pacer test, I want to hear someone who is so excited to infodump about their favorite topic that you can feel it through the screen

[margle]

it's genuinely mind boggling to me how someone can make a list of their favourite musicians/artists/authors and not include a single woman. how?? i just dont understand. you have to be actively avoiding them at this point.

[arolesbianism]

So I may or may not have spent a good chunk of my day trying to learn how to look into onis code and while I may not have yet succeeded I will likely keep fucking around with shit tomorrow and if I manage to succeed it'll spell great doom for my sanity as oni becomes the interest I've officially poured the most effort into analyzing

[night-dragon937]

why do i only get motivation at night TwT

cleaning, organizing, cooking, responding to emails/texts/calls, filling out paperwork, doing art or crafts, filming tiktoks- 10am? no chance. 3pm? that's funny but no. 6pm? ehh that's pushing it, probably not. 2am?? fuck yeahh let's get it all done right now!!

i need help and also someone to tell me that the project i want to start working on (will take a minimum of three hours) is a bad idea to start now, at 2am, when i need to get up in like eight hours
