If this meme is an example of conservatism to you, then you genuinely need to learn more about your own nation and consider whether the values you claim to have are worth having.

And I didn’t join anything. This dogshit had the gall to show up in the Hot sorting view.

What I’m saying is that you’re an embarrassment.

You could at the very least learn some fucking history, dude. Your ancestors didn’t move to an undeveloped land. Your ancestors invaded a land that had been carefully cultivated for millennia and forced out the descendants of the people who made that land livable.

Like, whatever, ignorance is why you’re a bigot in the first place. I just am constantly surprised by the utter lack of curiosity among conservatives that leads to dumbshit opinions like this.

What if my religion says you shouldn’t go around fuckin’ bears tho?

Then would you give up your bear-fuckin’?

“The future liberals want”

I don’t disagree that it feels way different, and honestly I’m still not sure if it’s going to be a good thing or a bad thing.

But are the words you and I are writing a lesser form of communication just because we’re tapping a screen or typing on a keyboard rather than writing them out by hand?

Granted, it’s still not the same thing. These are my words being arranged to my liking, but will we one day look at AI art as an extension of our hand the way that a keyboard is?

Is the world a better place because the commodification of art is monopolized by AI, or will art be better for the fact that it’s only practiced for the love of art and more bespoke purposes?

This subject is super complex and philosophical and definitely something I hope I live long enough to see the resolution to, some day.

I imagine a better analogy would be scribes talking about the printing press.

Prior to the invention of the printing press, the endeavor of mass creation of copies of a book could employ dozens of highly trained, highly skilled workers whose recreations were frequently seen as an artistic endeavor as much as a literary one. When the printing press was introduced and didn’t carry illustrations in the margins or nice little flourishes on some of the letters, the works were considered “soulless” and “without character”

A human can say that they were influenced by XYZ but they might not be crediting all of the instructors they had, or all the art books they read, all the stepping stones that got them to the point of being able to produce a work that has an identifiable influence. Then consider the people who influenced the person they’re citing as an influence, and so on and so on. I don’t know that the AI can tell you where every flourish comes from, but the person using it as a tool certainly could tell you what tags they used, which often include "in the style of "

I think you’re intentionally missing the point. Yeah, condoms are fine. The government mandating when you can and cannot use condoms in order to enforce an arbitrary population number is not as fine.
