i love you vaccines i love you research i love you reading the book instead of having chatgpt summarize it i love you critically thinking rather than reacting to a headline i love you investigating the source material i love you science i love you math even though you are personally my enemy (math/yn slowburn) i love you writing even though you try to stab me a lot i love you Experts in Your Field i love you Using The Brain

🚪 Alice’s Magic Garden: Growing Math with Plants 🌸

🌟 A Botanical Adventure with Alice & Mr. Fluffernutter! 🐰 Eyes still sleepy, I noticed overnight a mysterious garden had appeared! Plants of every size stretched eagerly toward the sky, their closed buds shimmering gently as if holding secrets yet to bloom. The garden buzzed softly with hidden magic; a gentle breeze whispered through the leaves, filling the air with sweet fragrances of jasmine,…

interesting ideas about AI art and by no means am I trying to send hate but I believe majority of people hate AI art is because it's truly just the byproduct of a giant plinko board bouncing through pieces of art made by artists who put love and care and SOUL into their work. A visual product of a math formula. While it's "art" in the most litteral sense, not having a true human behind it putting though and effort into its every detail, for many people (myself included) devalues it from a tradition artists work.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that AI art is inherently unequal to non Ai art, specifically for this reason. (Hope this made sense sorry if it's incoherent)

I agree in that sense there. I personally do not find myself wanting to engage in a work when I purposefully know the creator had used AI to create the entire product. Something something,,,I cannot find myself getting invested in something that is little more than a product. I don't wanna read a fic about my blorbos when it was written by Chat-GPT

I also agree with the idea that a lot of people hate AI art because of this heavily emotional, debatably reactionary mindset that stems from one thing: fairness. It's the same sort of emotion I find one gets if all of the work on a group project gets shafted onto them whilst their fellow peers sit idly by. It feels unfair to sink hours into your craft, spending all this time fighting to develop your skills and flourish as an artist, only to see someone type half a paragraph and have a machine spit back something that looks not half bad. Let's be honest with ourselves here and say that AI art, at least in a visual regard, has progressed quite a bit to the point where most of the mistakes people find can be dismissed as wonky perspective and the line art being a bit fucky, which is something a ton of artists struggle with too

People develop a sort of a superiority complex over it. I can't blame them honestly. A number of times I've felt it too when people tell me they're using Chat-GPT as though it were Google and when I see my family members and friends playing around with AI art. I gotta bite my tongue and choke back a chortle, both because it's kind of a dick move and also because I don't want to relish in this feeling. It's infectious though to feel as though you have an edge over another person just because you abstain from using Chat-GPT or whatever. Not to be all "grrgrgrr you should LOVE Chat-GPT and if you dare to say anything bad then you are EVILL!!" of course though. It's emotions. They're messy, intense, and oftentimes you don't really realize when you're feeling since you get locked into your perspective. Yet, I think it's important to realize a lot of hatred of this generative AI stems from emotions. Reactionary ideals and claims stem from emotions after all

I think ultimately what the conversation about generative AI should revolve around is about the concerns of labour. The several strikes from a while back from VFX artists and scriptwriters come to mind. They are most at stake from generative AI as tools like Chat-GPT are cheaper and more cost-effective than paying an actual employee for their time and effort. I would also mention the environmental issues, but if we were to talk about that we would also have to acknowledge the fact that so, so much water is being used up daily to generate power for servers. Hell, this post alone will probably contribute to drying up some marsh in the greater scheme of things

Anywho yada yada TL;DR: I agree yes but I also think it's important to recognize that a good chunk of your hatred to Chat-GPT stems from feeling cheated and a sense of pride and superiority over others for simply not using it. There is no quality to Chat-GPT that makes it inherently evil. I can't get upset at my grandma for sending me a photo of her and her dog that went through an AI anime filter. I can feel maybe some exhaustion when seeing a fellow classmate using Chat-GPT to write their essay, but ultimately I write my own work for the love of the game. I can get upset however at those in higher power who use it to push artists out of jobs. Chat-GPT is a tool that has its pros and cons and I think it's reductive to just basically sit there and hiss like a vampire when presented with a cross when faced with the mere word "AI", especially when your only big argument for disliking it is based purely in feeling cheated when someone types a prompt into a program and art that would've taken you seven hours to draw gets spit out in about a minute or two

every once in a while i think about my lukewarm take that "kids who come from priviledged private schools might not need help in college whereas kids from less priviledged schools might, simply because they haven't been given the same tools in life" that got me yelled at in real life for like a whole half hour and i go. huh.

My girl has 9 INT. She cannot read but if she believes hard enough she can summon lightning spears from her hands because that makes sense

i hope halsey performs an Angry version of darwinism someday. or someone makes an angry cover or remix or something. not that the album version isn’t beautiful, it’s stunning, i just want an opportunity to scream the lyrics i think it would be really cathartic. do yall see my vision.

They really do lean in to Ethan being the smarter one the longer the series goes on, don't they? To be fair, he always was *smarter* but Benny at least used to *kinda* try

Early Childhood - Hundred Board Extension

The Hundred Board is a familiar Montessori material used to help students understand numerical order and patterns. Typically, students place tiles numbered 1 to 100 in sequence on the board. However, in this extension activity, this student is creatively exploring the concept of diagonal patterns. She carefully places the tiles diagonally, starting from 1 and progressing to 100. After arranging the tiles, she writes the numbers down on paper that has a matching grid. By engaging in this diagonal arrangement and transcription, she discovers new patterns and relationships between numbers, further reinforcing her understanding of numerical order and enhancing her fine motor skills.

found out I got a 95 on my linear algebra exam today, genuinely thought I was gonna get around a 70 and an 80 if I was lucky 🧍‍♂️ I fr BSed my way through the entire thing (started doing the notes for the entire unit the morning of the exam bc I’m insane and I want to see if my body can take it (Markiplier reference) anyway never doing that again 💀 (I in fact, probably will be doing that again))

bad habits are sustainable if you accept them and work with them instead of hoping you'll fix them the next time they're prompted (because you probably won't)

honestly the "maths is the most fundamental truth to the universe 🤓" redditors have way more of a valid argument than the "art is what makes you human" losers on here, except you'd never see the former on here because this website thinks it's a cute bimbo trait to be unable to do maths

Actually it is SO weird to me to remember that I was an engineering student and that later on I had been pursuing a minor in statistics

I may be a IT & com person in the end, but I do have the foundations of engineering and statistics in my brain too. Wild !

hello i just wrote a poem and for some reason it feels important
