No one here is talking about how the woman in the picture looks the same in both photos? Am I missing something?

What artist? You mean the computer program? Somehow I don’t think it cares.

Have you not seen the movie?
Yes I have. That’s why I was confused.
The rest of it
Jesus Christ, it’s a stupid kids movie about superhero teens. I guarantee you that the people writing didn’t put that much thought into it.

More like it’s still canon, but heavily retconned. FRLG removed some of the early weirdness and made it more consistent with the others, and Let’s Go removed what little they missed with the first set of Kanto remakes. Both versions of Johto are direct sequels to Kanto, everyone important in the region shows up to the world tournament in B2W2, and Red and Green/Blue appear as adults in Sun/Moon’s post game. It’s just the references to real world countries and animals and stuff that they sweep under the rug and say “You didn’t see that. That didn’t happen.”

Some of the more recent games have the music cut out when you’re underwater. IMO, this makes the countdown even worse when it finally happens.

So tech outpaces legislation, as it is wont to do since legislation is notoriously slow, and so because of that our reaction should be to throw our hands up and not even try? Perhaps you don’t sympathize as much as you think you do.

I understand that AI is a complex program and not just pressing buttons. That’s not the issue I have with it. My issue is, what happens when the technology improves significantly? It’s my understanding that LLMs keep improving themselves by continuing to train on (often unethically) acquired data. In its present form, sure, maybe we don’t have to worry. But give it 10 years or so, how much more competent will it be?
Let’s look at just the film industry for a second. We already have a huge problem with Hollywood churning out franchise films at the expense of everything else. But even these cash cows are made via the vision of someone whose name is attached to it. Somebody got paid to write Halloween 36: The Final Halloween for Real This Time. That person may or may not have gave a shit about writing a good story, or they may have just wanted a paycheck. Either way, that paycheck could be used to fund something they care about much more. Once AI reaches the point where it could spit out a passable script, what incentive does Mr. Bigshot the Hollywood producer have to involve a writer at all? And because no writer is receiving a paycheck, less risks are taken in general, because risks don’t guarantee profit
I might just be letting my anxieties get the better of me, and I really hope I am. I just can’t seem to move past the bad feeling I’m getting from this.

The whole generative AI thing bums me out as someone who dabbles in writing, but for more philosophical reasons than the ones you listed. Storytelling is supposed to be something humans do to connect with one another. Art and culture are windows into our psyches. This, to me, is why art makes life worth living. It’s why we go through the hassle of maintaining our dreary and tedious obligations, because when all that is done and over with we can sit captivated and spellbound by a good tale from a talented writer.
This? This makes little sense to me. You’re telling me they made a computer program that uses pattern recognition to write and draw for us? Okay, why? This goes against what I always assumed art was for. There’s more to storytelling than just pattern recognition. There’s themes, emotions, metaphor, allegory, messages, politics, and so much more. A computer program doesn’t understand any of that, it just follows it’s programming.
Tech bros insist that AI is not going to take our jobs, but as long as we live under capitalism I don’t buy it. A lot of the people who work in publishing or producing are just doing it for the money. They don’t give a shit about whether the stories are good, only that they are profitable. If you don’t think that they are going to jump at the chance to create product without paying anyone for it, then I have a bridge to sell you. Creators need to eat too. The phrase “starving artist” exists for a reason.
We were supposed to create robots that would handle manual labor so that we could all be free to pursue our passions. Now they have robots creating art while we continue to do manual labor. It’s not the future I wanted to live in.

Gen 3 came out in 2003. That was 20 years ago. If you don’t at least recognize Groudon (one of gen 3’s box art legendary Pokémon) then that’s on you.

Their games get delayed because they actually finish them before release. They’re one of the last AAA publishers who still believe in quality control. This is a very bad take.

Idk where you live, but where I come from just one of these incidents would be unthinkable, let alone quintipling down on it. Also, there’s the way he said it, which obviously isn’t conveyed in text. Dude is fucking pissed that Jewish people have the audacity to exist. This isn’t like grandpa telling a racist joke at the New Years party, there is nothing but pure all consuming hatred in his voice. The audio for some of this is available from old new clips if you look for it, I just picked out an article for completeness sake. Search for “Mel Gibson recording” and set it to videos and see for yourself.

Mel Gibson is a raging antisemite. And when I say “raging”, I mean he’s on a whole other level like some kind of racist super saiyan. Just look at some of the shit he has said over the years, because it’s a lot.

Mel Gibson will not be reprising his role btw. You all know why.
