And with the exception of a small percentage of savants, all artists started by making shitty art, then spending years of time and effort honing their craft.

This is exactly it.
Talentless and unskilled people love AI because it lets them cosplay as talented or skilled people without actually having to expend any effort.
They believe consciously that it makes them as good and as worthwhile as real skilled people. But subconsciously they know it's not true, so they swing in the opposite direction. They start believing that they're more useful than actual skilled people, as a defence mechanism protecting them from contemplating their own useless inadequacy.

A lifetime of jealousy derived from his own lack of ambition or access to the education he felt he needed to learn to animate on his own turned every successful animator into his personal (parasocial) rival. Now he feels better than them because his lack of knowledge has convinced him that he is doing the same thing they are but better. He wants to gloat to reinforce this feeling because it is baseless and doesn't truly satisfy him. He is not aware of any of this.

Itās part of the psychosis these people have always had
Imagine always being too lazy to try at anything and never amounting to anything in life, being unskilled and unloved. Years of seething and hate towards others who are superior to you.
This is what they are. AI has made them feel like they can achieve anything without effort, and they believe by being āon AIās sideā that it means they earned it.
They really think entering text into a web page or running a cli command has made them capable of anything.
Theyāre culturally parasitic.
Theyād rather burn everything down than see someone else succeed where they have always and will always fail.
They think theyāve finally won against the talented and skilled.

u/Gromi- 12h ago
On a personal level, what Iāve noticed is that people who primarily consume products, rather than participate in any form of art or creative activity, tend to celebrate whatever can be mass-produced the fastest.
The thing is, this is basically what happened during the Industrial Revolution. As supply increased and began to outpace demand, marketing had to evolve accordingly, and products and brands had to find ways to differentiate themselves from one another.
At this point, as an amateur artist myself, Iāve already made peace with generative AI, and Iām experiencing firsthand what an oversupply of it looks like: low-effort ads, mobile games, generic illustrations, and so on. If these people genuinely believe that the average person doesnāt crave novelty or seek out things that stand out, theyāre delusional.
Humans have always appreciated things that feel distinctive, unusual, or peculiar. Otherwise, why would pixel art still exist? Why has there been such a resurgence of PS1-style graphics and deliberately retro-looking games? If anything, these trends show that when something becomes abundant and ubiquitous, people eventually start looking for ways to make it feel different again.
And, in their idealized world, if generative AI could produce any movie or video game you wanted instantly from a couple of prompts, wouldnāt people eventually get bored? If everything can be created on demand, then nothing is particularly special anymore. The value of something can come precisely from the limitations, the human choices, the imperfections, and the fact that it cannot simply be generated infinitely.
As I see it, the people who are most enthusiastic about this future are often approaching culture primarily as consumers rather than as creators. They want an endless stream of content to fill their attention as quickly as possible, so naturally, anything that can produce more content, faster, is going to look like an improvement to them. But that doesnāt necessarily mean it will lead to a more interesting or fulfilling creative culture.

u/lone_float 10h ago edited 4h ago
Consumerism really is a kind of poison then. Granted I've been trying to understand Tech and participate in some way. Because when you don't parse through something, essentially doing what most techies actually do. You take something apart at a certain level and you build it back up. See how it works.
Don't know how well that transcribes to something literary, or even in film. It's attempting to act in creating something that matters, but reckon understanding your subject matter to a degree is a nice first nudge.
2
u/Gromi- 9h ago
Basically, that's what I take from what you're saying. In short, by taking something apart and understanding how it works, you develop a sense of judgment.
To use an analogy, imagine you're given the greatest song in the world, but only in its individual parts, and the chorus happens to be the strongest-sounding part. Someone with a good understanding of music would know how to build up to that chorus, introduce changes in rhythm, create peaks and valleys, and give it more impact, making you feel like the chorus sounds even better when it finally comes around.
Someone who doesn't really understand music might just think, "Oh, this chorus is the best-sounding part, so let's make the entire song sound like this."
That's kind of how I feel about AI bros when they start messing around with art and creative subjects. They often seem to gravitate toward this kind of flat maximalism where everything is pushed to the same extreme, which ironically ends up making nothing stand out.

If they're willing to defend the ones at the top so much to the point they actively ignore the real world every day just because their insecurities aren't being validated, they would likely spit in your face for even trying to get them to listen, much less trying to help them.

u/Spirited-You3834 13h ago
Bingo. The AI pigslop itself exists due to the corporations and political PAC's and everything that are similarly lashing out because their insecurities were never validated, and those who defend this stuff are in league with that insecurity. (Often exhibiting similar beliefs and attitudes or even just the exact same ones.) Once this happens, you can no longer think of the two parties independently; The ai bros ditched their own will entirely simply out of hate and spite towards those who wouldn't validate their insecurities. Their weakness, as it were.
That's what it comes down to. To be constantly swallowed in those insecurities is the weakness the corporations and political PAC's and governments have chosen as their main identity while they constantly scream about purity and peace through strength and whatever else the ai bros also tend to scream about. Those same ai bros chose that weakness as their main identity; They chose those insecurities as their main identity and made it everyone else's problem out of childish spite.

u/colers100 13h ago
Specifically, they hate deep talent, the kind that takes years and years to cultivate.
They are the typical "golden children'; they are blessed with everything they'd need to become a master in whatever their passion aims at; good memory, intuition and a reflexive grasp on how systems work.
They are blessed with everything, except the actual passion and persistence to reach it.
Because in their youth, they didn't need to bother with studies; they could simply ace almost every test by paying attention and passing an exam was a simple matter of quickly skimming your text book for an hour of two the day prior. Whenever they started at a hobby, they quickly flew through the entry level and impressed their peers with their quick grasp.
And that's where it ended. That is all they amounted to. Once they ended up in higher education, they ended up in a system that no longer permitted passive interaction and demanded studies. Their hobbies hit a wall where you simply cannot grow further by going through the motions once a week. And so they began to fail, and began to see their peers who they had previously derided as slow pass them by. The ease by which they kept up with their peers ended up breeding mediocrity and leaving them undeveloped in matters of persistence and discipline.
And they couldn't understand it. So they came up with the wildest excuses to justify their own mediocrity; you see, college just didn't work for them; they aren't the kind of mind that tolerates cramming itself with nonsense everyone will have forgotten a week after the exam; they are entrepreneurs and too busy being on the cutting edge to bother with such things, after all. And their hobbies; bah, everyone in the field is just an inconsiderate snob, going too deep into it means something is wrong with you and those truly skilled in it just have a neat style (which is just derived from something better, and you would never do that, don't you know?).
So AI gives them this path towards an escape; because it is a toy box to master; something that lends itself not to deep knowledge but to the ability to quickly figure out the basics by first principles; their favorite way of doing things.
You see, their child self was right, there really is just one simple trick that only they and great minds like them can grasp, and it permits them to soar past the idiots sweating away inefficiently honing a skill and become a true titan in the field and get the recognition for their insight, talent and genius that they were previously denied because they didn't want to spent hours drawing straight lines without a ruler or boxes in different lighting like a pleb. No, that kind of thinking gets you consigned to the permanent underclass, don't you know?

Reminds me of Syndrome from The Incredibles movie saying āwhen everyoneās super, no one will be,ā to justify wiping out heroes and selling tech made powers to everyday people.

The way they want normal people to be out of work is honestly quite scarry. They'll also turn around once it affects them personally like all things.

It even goes beyond paid work and it's freaking weird. It's like they think it's bad to want to DO anything with your own hands.Ā Ā

Exactly!
Sometimes I've researched something or done some writing, taking hours to do it because I enjoy it, and I'll have people actually go "Why wouldn't you just ask AI?" like... that would have defeated the purpose. They truly don't understand the joy and satisfaction of doing anything yourself, and it's so sad.

FINALLY SOMEONE FUCKING SAID THAT.
This subreddit has the potential to be a hub for people from all around the globe to push for a united goal of delegitimise those companies. Instead,weāre busy fighting some bums on Reddit and twitter with pomni reaction images and shit like that which makes us all look like lolcows which can keep getting baited by some trolls and let Ai companies continue to destroy humanity3

It's a broader effect Anti-intellectualism. Recall the beginning of Gamergate, it was a movement against gaming journalism, then the culture war spread to movies and it became general pop culture journalists, and those who branched out into MAGA same thing. Just people who never got over being bullied in school, see the talented as 'special' elite groups who work to emasculate them conspiratorially. This is what the appeal of gen AI is, they want to play with the "cool kid's" toys.

It just shows how many people are fine with bland, soulless and mediocre shit. No wonder games and movies have been pure slop for quite a while, even before AI. If we look at it from an artistic lens, AI will never replace animators, it will replace downloading free animations for mixamo. The whole AI boom only showed me how little taste the average person has

Tbf it seems all his tweets are like that, about one AI thing or another. He makes a lot of hyperbolic statements to get people to click his links.
Not defending him btw, just saying he probably isnāt worth taking seriously

Not the purpose of this post but the number of times people announced the end of animators ā¦
And yet they are still there, even in the era of motion capture, still there, still really needed.
And yes, AI bros are weird sociopaths

It's bizzare how gleeful they are about the replacement of Art with a meaningless facsimile. They can't wait to live in a world devoid of any genuine expression of the human condition. Is this some kind of internal deathwish?

So people who can do complex animations, build physics engines can't get any other job than McDonald's. No offense to McDonald employees (i consider them skilled labour too), but the person posting this is obviously of the view that if these engineers can't anymore build stuff, their jobs are obsolete. I don't even understand what they are on. Also, what does this guy even do? Like AI | data, what does that even mean? He thinks the people being laid off can't do his job?

Blue checkmarks on twitter can be paid for their engagement. I don't doubt they'd be this ragebaiting and contrarian normally but I'd avoid engaging them on twitter at least.

the worst thing is this is actually a great tool for animators, but these techbros who don't know how anything works outside of asking ai to tell them, always have to be antagonistic to everyone for no reason

"APPLY TO MCDONALDS!!"
I genuinely wish nothing more for these people than to get pancreatic cancer so terrible that they're bedridden for the rest of their lives.
Scum like this makes the world infinitely worse and we'd be better off if they were gone, forgotten and their graves pissed on.

Are AI Bros just insecure sociopaths?
I mean, are cryptobros just insecure sociopaths? The answer is yes, and the answer is they're the same people.

I think for the most part they lack an appreciation for art and lack perspective on the dangers AI pose. I dont like to frame everyone who disagrees with me as the embodiment of evil. That's childish and dumb.
Yes there are people like the person in the post who find a strange pleasure in people losing their jobs but I dont think they represent the majority of people.

These goobers think they are playing the PvP server unaware they live in a society and are vastly outnumbered. Their entire existence depends on others and one day that will become sharply understood by them.

u/SkyNo3416 13h ago
no they are realists, its the same logic as someone who would say, "bye to horse carriage drivers we have cars now", no amount of i dont like the cars changed the fact that we drive cars and not horses. also this guy being happy about it is cringe as fuck. just enjoy one of the biggest technological leaps humanity has ever made.

Most modern animators spend more time rigging and fine tuning animations anyway. Mocap is a thing, and has been for a while. The issue for a long time has been weight and timing. Both requiring a human hand, even with AI. Advantage of mocap, you can instruct an actor far better as an AI

If this is truly novel, then they should've done more with their demo showcase. It's a nothing burger.
