Should be fun. Lean into the difference in experience as a mature professional. Get some perspective on why Dr. Cox is Like That.

Show Rogue One but with the film shots digitally composited with an AI Tarkin or an AI Leia
Right, deep fakes never caused objections. AI for dead actors is a widely beloved use case! People would totally understand a replacement, versus only being able to tweak what’s already been done the hard way.

For IVF. For a clinic about getting pregnant.
Fucking stupid Nazis.

Well. Had, was, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Thank you for mentioning AP Bio - I half-remembered some show with a trailer that had been color-graded within an inch of its life. No colors left besides peach and teal. But whenever I tried finding it again, it ended something like “Abbot Elementary doesn’t look like that.”

The who-is-stronger exposition dumps are the problem. I don’t give a shit about Soul Society - that’s not the show I was enjoying. That’s just what it became, for endless repetitive nonsense, after the formulaic-but-distinct first season made a ton of money.
If there was no first season - if it actually had been advertised on what’s in the second season onward - I would not have finished a single episode. Total apathy. But because I cared about what it was, and hoped we might get more of that, I still feel betrayed.

Bleach.
Season one, an otherworldly intruder accidentally ropes some kid and his friends into fighting monsters, in a grounded modern setting with a distinct sense of comedic realism.
Season two, they went to Namek.

The writer’s strike shielded the show from so much criticism, because people figured the shite pacing and jumble of characters were caused by the studio plowing ahead without proper scripts. Nope! Executives just demanded the dumbest shit imaginable, and the original creators did their level best, until they were told to stop work and join the picket line.

Honestly I hate how much I hold back, now. Too many communities fell for the cult of civility and think “here’s detailed proof that you’re a fucking liar” is worse behavior than “calm down, honey.” Sometimes it is right and good to call people names. Punishing that, but not even addressing why someone might do that, is acting as a force multiplier for trolls. You can be an absolute monster in polite words.
To all moderators, on all platforms, I ask - if you don’t stop people from being assholes, but you stop people from calling them assholes, who do you think benefits from that power structure?

This “We’re not” sounds a lot like “We kind of are.”
You’re using it for moderation.
You’re using it for editing.
You’re using it for translation.
You’re using it as the first thing new people experience.
Where are you not using it? What’s left?

One of the biggest tells in generative art is how the model likes lining things up. A human artist would not put the balloon tangent to the skyline - where its distance and scale become ambiguous.
- Comment on Collective licence to ensure UK authors get paid for works used to train AI 4 weeks ago:
Training is transformative use.
It’s not like this ends with authors being paid every time a neural network gets used - we’d see a properly open model emerge. Smaller networks, trained on hand-pruned data, already look like the way forward. Generalization from sparse examples is how any of this works.
If people can’t simply let the robot read every book in the library, they’re not gonna pay for every book in the library. They’re gonna switch to some above-board torrent of public domain / Creative Commons / permissively-licensed content. That didn’t happen first because scaling up worked better, to a point. Aaaand scale prevents competition. Also it was a great excuse to spy on as much private data as possible.
When the bubble bursts, the tech will remain and flourish, and there’s not gonna be much money involved.
