#robots replacing humans

[dimetrodone]

Dogs of War is a fun sci fi book, but I wish it leaned a bit more into being about man’s relationship with animals rather then being kinda a standard AI story just with uplifted animals instead of robots.

[clonerightsagenda]

I don't care what kind of hotshot future surgeons they have, I can't believe that they replaced all the specials' bones with synthetics, for multiple reasons (some would be difficult and dangerous to remove without damaging important tissue, you need your pelvis/sternum/spine for marrow production, 16 year olds aren't done growing although idk if Dr. Cable cares about that) but now I am imagining 35 year old Tally alone in the wild with the world gone to shit yet again because of and despite of her best efforts staring at her own cast-off 16-year-old skull.

team fourtress doodle dump 🙏

(ill add more doodles and ig ""lore"" if thats the right term under the cut)

the robots in all my doodles are sentient, like "OH GOD IM ALIVE" sentient. Most of them "wake up" right before or during battle, where they'll def see their own be blow up and stuff, so to avoid humans (and basically being killed for money) there are groups, or "troops" of robots, spanning from small groups of 2-4, groups of 5-9, to huge troops 10-20 in really rare cases, that live in the wild and travel from place to place, mainly on the North American and Eurasian plates.

They'll take to junkyards or abandoned buildings to find materials to strengthen their armor with, and also augment themselves to fit their personal tastes (like 1 of my little guys, Peremo, who is a pyro robot that has pyrophobia. rip bozo 😔🙏).

In my versions of the Red and Blu team, there are 1 robot for each team. Red has Socrates, a medic robot who had his right arm removed so he can hold other things while healing, and Blu has Vlad, a heavy robot that is basically doing the same thing as Red Heavy, killing people for money so he can take care of his family (but like... they Eat the money instead of using it to keep the lights on).

I'd go on for hours but my hands hurt 😭 im gonna have to make a masterpost oh god

tell me, what makes a human?

[superbellsubways]

actually sick of all the fearmongering posts about how ai will eventually replace all forms of art when that wont be the case at all. art will never die. as long as humanity is still existing then Real art will always remain.

a certain website turning to shit doesn't mean its the end of the world for artists. there will always be alternatives, there will always be other places to grow a following on. don't let a couple websites turning to shit ruin your passion in art. Keep making things despite it all

[candycoated-rage]

lol hey if you follow me and support ai in any capacity? fuck the hell off.

ai chatbots? talk to a real person. ai voice acting? learn how to do impressions. super fucking easy, I learned how to do a scout tf2 impression in a week. ai covers of songs? same as last time. Hatsune Miku (or any vocaloid) doesn’t count because she’s literally a robot and the voice she’s based off of consented to it. Ai art? COMMISSION SOMEONE!!!! (LIKE ME!!!!!!!!!) IF COMMISSIONS ARE TOO EXPENSIVE THEN FUCKING DO IT YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!! THERE ARE TUTORIALS ONLIIIINEEEEEE

ai should be used for helping someone do taxes or shit, not REPLACING ACTUAL HUMAN TALENT.

stop using ai or else I throw rocks at you. ai supporters eat shit and die, I support making fun of ai

Drawing the messiest sketches is actually so good for my brain

[proudfreakmetarusonikku]

thinking about gijinka!metal sonic again. bc like in a humanisation she’d be like the biological kid of eggman right? and that’s giving me such brainrot. the tl;dr is that she was born through surrogacy to serve as eggman's heir when he dies and basically she was raised to be eggman 2 (her deadname is literally ivo jr) and despite growing up with a safe, wealthy environment with a ton of education she never really felt loved by her father so after he and sonic start fighting she pretty much immediately both replaces half her body with cybernetics to serve as a useful pawn in her fathers schemes and started dying her hair in the hopes that if she looked like sonic she'd at least get any attention. she eventually ran away (after realising she was trans and being terrified of her father not accepting her) and like kinda did the whole sonic heroes thing but being like a human meant she couldn’t just be reset so. she just kinda started serious therapy and now is in an awkward midground where she has absolutely no idea who’s side she’s on. i also have some more detailed thoughts on her under the cut if u want.

the modifications she did to her body for her cybernetics stunted her growth a lot. she was short as a kid and as a teenager she's like 4’7 max. it was extremely invasive and painful, but she was that desperate for any sort of familial love. being eleven it was not exactly done great and while she’s a terrifying combatant she's in and out of hospital the rest of her life for some reason or another.

eggman does actually fully support her transition, bc while he's a terrible dad he does on some level genuinely care about her and like, he cares more about her continuing the mad science legacy than how she presents herself.

she’s very much a sheltered rich kid. the closest thing she’s ever had to a friendship is trying to murder her fathers arch nemesis, and that started when she was eleven she didn’t have any sort of friend before that. her socialisation is messed up enough that despite technically still being fully human (just with very advanced cybernetics) she's still very much the maladjusted violent ball of anger and jealousy she is in canon. sonic and co literally thought she was just a very humanoid killer robot for years. like, up until heroes. but no it’s just severe trauma.

she does however have more hobbies than torturing small animals! she's fond of liveleak.com, licking batteries until she's electrocuted (her modifications prevent her from being seriously injured), and inventing weaponry. she eventually picks up some less… concerning hobbies after a bit of therapy and spending time with sonic and co. (she particularly enjoys fashion and, surprisingly enough, animal crossing).

she mostly resembles her father (her biological mother was specifically picked so that’d be the case, along with many other stringent requirements) but she looks close enough to maria robotnik that she Constantly freaks shadow out. especially bc she is again very sickly and probably will die young bc of the complications with replacing half of her body including her brain with cybernetics made by an eleven year old. she exploits this to experiment on him when she’s bored. she’s not as familiar with biological sciences as robotics but she does kinda want to Not Die and unethical experimentation on the immortal ultimate life form helps.

yes, her nine year old pre-cybernetics appearance is deliberately meant to look a little like alex kidd with the messy hair and pallet. bc she’s neglected in favour of sonic. why not.

Well, I now know what original story I'll be writing for Freedom February ...

👀🤖⛓️‍💥

Can't wait for people who use l33tspeak or are greek mythology nerds to immediately realize what is happening with the lore and are excited to see how it plays out.

a while ago, i tried grammarly (didn't care for it) which makes suggestions for your writing, as in, whole sentences. i gave it a small part of the script of idletry and told it to keep writing the next sentence. eventually it told me it would not condone hateful and harmful text and wouldn't interact with it anymore at all. this is what it wrote, though (green bits are what i gave it):

Jessie (voice booming, somewhat demonic): keep your mic. I don't need it. [stepping off of the altar, malicious tone of voice] I actually wanted some answers from you. Samwich (eager to please): of course, Eternal One, by all means??? Jessie (rolling head and surveying the tall ceilings of the building): I guess I was just wondering. What's all this about? You don't really need a whole church to post on twiddler. Samwich (hesitant): Well, Eternal One, your teachings are about embracing the darkness within oneself and using it to gain power and control over others. It's about rising above the weak and ruling over them as a supreme being. It's about ultimate domination and control.

second attempt:

Samwich (nervously): It's not just about Twiddler, Eternal One. It's about spreading your message, your power, to as many people as possible. And having a physical space, a sanctuary if you will, helps to bring people together and strengthen their belief in you. Jessie (skeptical): And what teachings are those exactly? After asking Samwich about the exact teachings, Jessie narrows her eyes in suspicion and crosses her arms across her chest. She appears to be waiting for a satisfactory answer. Samwich: looks nervously at Jessie Um, well... according to the teachings of eternal domination and control, those who possess power should use it to control and dominate others. It is believed that this is necessary in order to maintain order and stability in society. Without a strong and dominant governing force, chaos and anarchy would prevail. Samwich: pauses for a moment, still looking worried But, I should note that this belief system is controversial and not universally accepted.

it felt so strange, it picked up that it was supposed to be an evil religion and themes of domination and control from just a few lines, but the characters had no voice at all... something it also didn't notice even though it was indicated in the text that i started with is that samwich is not nervous, but very enthusiastic. it noticed that Twiddler should be capitalized, even though i did not capitalize it in the text it was given. i still find it very funny that it called what it wrote itself hate speech.

if you want to compare it to what actually happens in the text:

Jessie (rolling head and surveying the tall ceilings of the building): I guess I was just wondering. What's all this about? You don't really need a whole church to post on Twiddler. Samwich: For worship!!! My Lord. [Jessie lowers her eyelids skeptically] to testify our adoration and devotion! [Jessie frowns. Devotion. Adoration. She thinks of the woman who adored her. The woman she devoted herself to.] Jessie: Devotion, huh? Just one day a week. Samwich (shyly): I pay my devotions every day, My Lord… Jessie (almost interrupting, as if she expected Samwich to say they do come here every single day): For how long? Samwich: A-as much as I can!! Hours and hours!!! I spend more time here than everywhere else combined! Jessie (not impressed, not genuine): Yeaahh, that's a significant amount of time… [Jessie has malevolent thoughts] …how devoted would you say you are? Samwich: —Completely!!! If you want me to spend more time, I can do it! I'd do anything for you!!! Jessie (approaching): Yeah? Anything at all? Samwich (unflinching): LITERALLY anything! Jessie (louder, as if announcing to the entire congregation): Anything, so you'd die for me? You'd let me strike you down right here? Samwich (still no hesitation): yes, God, without question!!! That's what devotion demands!!

ACAU Peter sometimes eats people, we already know that, but Miles does have some sort of equivalent. He doesn’t want to hurt anybody or any animal, but one thing that does calm that part of him down is just tearing any sort of electronics apart. He’s started attacking robots and will tear out the wires like they’re intestines, bite off the body parts and tear the layers off with his hands and teeth until it’s just the skeleton, drink the fluids inside just to be sick later, honestly just brutalizing the thing. This also goes for normal electronics too, like maybe just a laptop or a gps. Peter’s just happy the kid has an outlet now and isn’t at risk of randomly losing it and killing a bunch of people, but he doesn’t know how the spidery part in his brain is equating “electronic” to “food”.

[wanderingmind867]

Sad thing is: I expect this could happen irl. We've seen the moral panics around AI. If someone like The Vision existed in real life, we probably would get these psychotic terrorist types. I think Steve Englehart was definitely onto something here. (Avengers #113):

[yukarishoodie]

I understand that vocalsynth software is pretty hard to grasp for outsiders so I hope AI covers die a very death sometimes soon because I'm getting sick of takes conflating the two.

fascinating how a teeny tiny little transplant can completely change your relationship with your whole body.
