  • I love kids and would be a great parent but no on all three counts. I'd have to put aside my own life, my own plans and all the weird fun stuff I do because of kids. Not to mention the cost, even just got giving birth, would be nuts.

    Kinda like how I love dogs but don't want to be a dog owner.

  • That was a lot of delving into your personal opinions that I don't care about to bury a "you're right" in there. How typical, the only thing you relate to emotions is being unable to control someone else. They are another thing to get in the way of what you, like a selfish child that became a dictator, want. No empathy for the joys in life or sympathy for the sorrows, you hypocritically aggrandize logic through illogical opinions. They aren't there specifically for decision making or as an accurate heuristic, they aren't a tool for you to control, they are an experience to have while alive. Something you seem to be half assing. I'm glad you're getting help but frankly it seems like you have a long way to go if you're that level of control freak.

    If you're upset by this, you're the type to be dismissive of emotions, I see no reason why I should consider yours in the slightest. If you don't like how that feels, to have your emotions ignored, then I've given you something to think about, haven't I?

  • So you're saying you don't know of any financially struggling artists.

    How exactly would you hear about an artist who isn't doing well financially but is so popular you'd hear about them? If you actually hung out in artist circles then you'd know a lot of artists like that, so yeah, I'm assuming you don't.

    You said that if they appeared to not be making money they are essentially lying about it or going off to work in a factory.

    So you're preventively arguing against any evidence to the contrary of the poor artist. As for the factory part, my brother in Christ, that's what most artists have to do. They work part time or full time jobs, sometimes multiple jobs, to supplement their income.

    As for your definition of artbro, that's a myopic sliver of the art world as a whole, and I am dismissing your aren't to limit the conversation to just those people, because the topic is about generative ai which affects the WHOLE art community. Amateurs to full on professionals. In every branch of the arts.

    I guess this is where the miscommunication has been happening, since I'm talking about artists as a whole and you're only talking about those which have gotten jobs in specific industries.

    So I apologize, I thought you were coming from a more holistic, knowledgeable, informed, and experienced position than you were and shouldn't have put that upon you.

  • It's called sample bias. You're only talking about the artists you've personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.

    I also think you've got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.

    And when I am talking about artists, I'm not talking about the small fraction that are in "high" arts with museums n shit.

    It sounds to me that you you don't really know a lot of artists and don't really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.

  • Since we're talking about how people come off, you come off as one of those people who like to think they are logical and rational but are very dismissive of emotions (of others) and come off as condescending, because you are. You're also probably pedantic.

    So, to appeal to your rational side, just because a decision is based off of emotion doesn't inherently invalidate it. If someone said "3 isn't a prime number you donkey" and you got mad and argued that it was, you're still correct even if the way you got to that conclusion wasn't rational.

    It's probably a variation of ad homonym but I'm not going to bother to look up the specifics.

  • I see creativity as an inherently human trait. I've known plenty of people who are smart and have very low creativity, and people who aren't that bright who come up with very creative ideas. And people who are both and neither.

    Making images and arts are only part of that creativity, there's more to it than that.

  • It's less of a knee jerk reaction of insolence against some perceived authority to rebel against, and more that I found the demeanor and entitlement of the post to be so utterly repugnant that I was put off. "You said you'd use Linux and didn't how dare you". It's like a toddler throwing a tantrum over people whom may not exist.

    As for your related question, the subtext is that you are accusing me of being an unthinking person who reacts only out of emotion, and I don't particularly care for that, nor do I have any reason to tell you my internal mental processes, so I decline answering it.
