AI hysteria

This is the concise way of putting it that I've been missing.

Using AI to do something that actually intelligent beings already legally do, like impressions and parody (with disclaimers and all that), isn't suddenly theft or stealing because AI was used in the process. I'm really disappointed in the Lemmy community for buying into all this bs

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

cut it up and join it into another video

If you think this is what AI is doing I recommend looking more into how generative AI actually works. Even if that was what it did, as long as the ones publishing the work are not claiming or leading people to believe that this is Beyonce's work, then who cares? Should the entire genre of YouTube Poops be paying royalties to all the commercials and politicians they sample and splice?

No, this is not (and never was) how copyright works, nor how it should work.

You try selling a copy of it.

I really want to drill this home, search YTP (YouTube Poop) on YouTube. The volume of evidence against your claim is enormous.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

My only real problem would be with actual fraud. Like the AI Biden making calls trying to convince people not to vote in a primary.

That's the difference between impression and impersonation. My disappointment in the Lemmy community for not understanding the difference is immeasurable. We're supposed to be better than this but really we're no better than Reddit, running with ragebait headlines for the cheap dopamine hit that is the big upvote number.

If it were a human doing a Carlin impression, literally NOBODY would give a fuck about this video.

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

The video spends nearly a full minute telling you that the channel is dedicated solely to AI content, and that this is not the work of George Carlin. It fills the entire screen with "THIS IS NOT GEORGE CARLIN" several times as the words are spoken by the narrator.

so they basically have no reason to change.

It's sad. I used to love the games but now they're just 70% mashing the A button to get through the slowest text boxes known to man

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

Never understood why people found that look attractive. Even I did find it attractive, there's still that layer of insecurity that comes with putting so much money and effort into looking borderline inhuman that just puts a bad taste in my mouth

A_Very_Big_Fan ,

It did cross my mind that it could be a dysmorphia thing, and I can kind of relate as someone who's transitioning... But honestly even as someone who plans to alter their body for the sake of looking more feminine this just isn't appealing to me at all.

But there's plenty of people who want/are attracted to that look, so I'm just like "it's not for me but you do you girl"

The market is extremely saturated. I'm willing to bet most people could make more reliable money doing door dash

    In the most literal and original sense of the word, it is a meme. As in an idea that evolves and propagates from one mind to another.

    A_Very_Big_Fan ,

    Even as an atheist I can't help but cringe at this kinda stuff. Assuming OP lives in America too, he should be as aware as I am that the vast majority of Christians are equally capable as anyone else.

    I think there's a lot of unprocessed emotions (especially with young people on the internet) that sort of creates a high demand for content like this, where we want to laugh at and condemn people that replace the help of doctors and educators with faith, which gets misdirected at Christians in general despite how fringe that type of behavior really is.

    What we should actually be condemning is the political powers that abuse religious institutions to do actual widespread tangible harm to our communities, and the people who follow them uncritically and enthusiastically. *cough cough* PragerU *cough* MAGA. And it's funny to me, because I think it's pretty plain to see for any outsiders and a lot of Christians as well that if Jesus descended on today's America, he'd be pretty disappointed by the behavior this leads them to endorse.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    As cheesy as this is, I have to admit it's hilarious

    A_Very_Big_Fan ,

    To give you credit people do wayyy overestimate how much faith plays a role in the average Christian's actual practical life. It's not like your local Christian mechanic is fixing your car with prayers, or that they're just gonna have faith that the Nigerian prince in their inbox is gonna send them a million dollars.

    I think a better point (than the one the other guy is attempting to make) is that there's thousands of sects that will tell you thousands of different interpretations. There's no one right way to be religious and anyone is free to interpret their text however they feel like, so it's not like your flavor of belief is any more valid that the people who do believe God will always protect and provide. Regardless of how uncommon it is, it's hard to deny that the whole faith thing has given us some communities that are susceptible to things like faith healing. Which is unfortunate for the kids who don't know any better or have no power to change the situation have to suffer the consequences of that behavior.

    But let's be honest, even if we didn't have Christianity or abrahamic religions, chances are those same people would be doing the same shit but with crystals, horoscopes, and tarot cards.

    The real problem I wish more of us were talking about is the amount of faith people put into preachers peddling politics from the pulpit. (Accidental alliteration lolll)

    My dingus detector is going off the charts. Because I too don't understand what's going on here

    Only transmascs I think. I think the expression is mostly about sudden validation that we don't typically experience

    Scam Numbers - Reddit's (and possibly the internet's) largest scam number depository, now on Lemmy! (lemmy.zip)

    With almost 40k subscribers on Reddit, r/ScamNumbers is one of the most useful online databases for tracking down scam phone numbers. Some use the information for awareness, while others take advantage by prank calling scammers to waste their time....

    A_Very_Big_Fan ,

    One of the main goals of scam baiting is getting a number to call them back on. But yes

    that's how it works, right? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

    Description: A three panel comic often referred to as "No take, only throw." The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption "I want to be good at my hobbies." The second panel is the dog looking angry and refusing to let go of the toy when a hand reaches out to throw it for the dog again, and it has the caption "No...

    You don't wanna scratch like you would your arm lol, unless it's through denim or something. I just lightly pinch and pull a bit and that's enough friction

    seems pretty minor

    I don't think doing an accent is racist at all though, honestly. Idk how other cultures are but, but I actually think it's pretty funny when foreigners do American accents.

    It's the TF2 (Team Fortress 2 / Titanfall 2) situation all over again
