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.
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”
