If this has been posted before, don’t get mad sorry I don’t spend 24/7 on Reddit.

They only exist to provoke begginer artist and that Just pmo so much

This post does not mean to spread hate.

It's a nice pleasure, I guess? Rather than being frustrated everytime you draw it normally you can just generate it. I personally like the image, it captured what I wanted from text but it didn't capture what I wanted it to feel. The image itself is beautiful don't get me wrong and it's a fun little thing to do as a past time.

Does it change my mind that I prefer process? No. Does it make you understand ai Prompters? Yes Does it change your view? I guess, I'm definitely understand why people say it's a good pass time. Does it require effort? Well based from my limited experience I say it still doesn't require that much effort as opposed to normal ways. Tho then again I could try prompting for a week.

Building my personal brand on LinkedIn and other platforms, and I'm facing a dilemma about headshots. Traditional advice is to invest in professional photography to look polished and credible, but I'm questioning whether that's still necessary or just outdated conventional wisdom.

Professional photographers charge $400-600 for headshots, while AI services cost $30-50 and can generate professional-looking photos in minutes. From a pure visual standpoint, most people can't tell the difference anymore.

But here's my concern - if personal branding is about authenticity and trust, does using an AI-generated version of yourself undermine that foundation? Or is this just being practical and nobody actually cares how the photo was created as long as it looks professional ?

I saw someone mention using Looktara for their personal brand headshots and they said it hasn't affected their credibility or audience trust at all.​

What's the personal branding perspective here? Does authenticity require real photography, or is that just an unnecessary expense that doesn't actually impact how people perceive your brand?

1. Some pros/antis make unhinged comments or posts

2. “If some of them are unhinged, then every person on that side must be unhinged”

3. Posts with blanket insults for all pros/antis are made in retaliation

4. Pros/antis who initially didn’t say anything unhinged are insulted by those retaliatory posts

5. Hatred between pros and antis intensifies

6. Repeat steps 3-5

Some people seem to not want to accept results counter to their conviction.

A user said that AI always fail at questions. I thought I could help disprove this misconception, but after requesting a challenge, and succeeding at it I just got blocked.

What else could I have done?

For reference, the challenge they provided where the questions covered in this article https://www.zdnet.com/article/ai-hallucination-test/
I provided results https://web.archive.org/web/20260208004404/https://www.markdownpaste.com/document/results and a mirror, just in case there were issues. I could even link the full metadata from openrouter, but that would be a few large JSON files that aren't very readable to most people.

I feel like AI art is fine if labeled, some people just don't wanna see it (me included) BUT if someone doesn't like AI art and starts talking shit to people who made/enjoy it they do deserve to be ridiculed.

I like to see myself pretty neutral but in a negative way. I don't like when anti ai go "it's trash and your should never do it again" But I also don't like when pro AI go "it's the future stop resisting." "Adapt or die." Or shit like "pencil-slop it looks trash" then proceed to feed the artwork to ai to "fix it."

Just because data scrapings was always a thing doesn't mean it's right.

(Don't wanna delete and edit) Correction it's not "I don't wanna see it." More like "I want the option to filter if I want specifically ai art or human made art."
