Progress (Art by Pizzacakecomic)
(pawb.social)
Reminds me of the child molesting robot comedy sketch.
"It's impact on society will be on the same level as the invention of the atomic bomb!" (actual comparison made by some big tech CEO)
"Oh my god, so it will be very well regulated and operated with the utmost care?"
"Actually no, not at all."
The amount of missing nuclear bombs is relevant here i think lol
Relevant because they exist in spite of strict regulation. More reason AI should be regulated.

Okay, but think of all the employees we can fire thanks to it?
Yeah. Own nothing and be happy.
I'm here to own nothing and be happy and I'm all out of nothing.
So it's Bender from Futurama lol.
When the robot does it, it's not illegal
The robot is just an extension of the ultra wealthy so of course it's not illegal
It starts fires?
Pizzacake's subtle yet brilliant take on AI is bad really adds something to the discussion, I feel.
This subtle yet pedestrian take on Pizzacake is bad really adds something to the discussion, I feel.
I guess I'm OOTL. Why should we hate Pizzacake?
It's fashionable among chuds to be offended by her, because she attacked the chuds.
I had enough of stans protecting her obviously low-effort cut-and-paste comics with "tHeY hAtE hEr bEcaUse shE FemNisT".
We hate shovelware.
I like pizzacake exclusively because of how much she annoys people who could very easily ignore her.
Mate, I ignore shovelware. You know how many of this site's dumb "but whyyy isn't linux more popularrr" posts I just scroll past?

Because checks notes not everyone enjoys the comics, I guess?
(copy/paste:) I've read the following arguments:
- her humor is bland, Cathy-level stuff. I like !garfield@lemmy.world so I'm not exactly an expert on humor, but fwiw I like her art style and I find her strips amusing more often than not. That sort of thing's subjective anyway.
- she had reddit comics-strip mods delete any critical comments about her. Yeah, reddit sucks, that's why we left, I dunno if it's fair to blame her for that.
- she ~~supported~~ stuck with reddit during the API protests. I kinda disliked her for a while because of this, HOWEVER since then she's done a lot of anti-MAGA comics (like this, this, and this) so I think she's cool bc that's a far more important issue, and I'm not gonna be hung up on reddit forever.
- in her strip she sometimes makes fun of people who criticize her. I see this kinda like a stand-up comedian dealing with hecklers, i.e. it's part of the show, and good on her for not taking shit from people. But some people apparently think this is inappropriate. Others assume that her "hecklers" are sexist, insecure, etc and that creates even more defensiveness. Not sure if there's an easy solution to this.

If that’s the loop, I’ll stay out of it. Pizzacake roolz.
You can google it but the summary is that she handles criticism pretty poorly. Also, her jokes are mostly not even a joke. Most of them are straw man clickbait.
handles criticism poorly
What a pearl-clutching take. Also known as:
After I attacked her, she reacted in a way that hurt my feelings
Maybe, just maybe, don't attack a comic?
I mean from what I understand she DID handle things poorly. The issue is it happened one time and people will not let it go when there's no reason to cling to it.

Her comics are typically very surface level takes on political issues, where she knows her audience will agree with her. There's very rarely any humour in her comics, and her fans will not accept any criticism of her whatsoever.
Mostly people post her work because it agrees with whatever viewpoint they hold.
People spread things that they agree with, yes. Spreading ideas we believe in is why we evolved to communicate in the first place. Ironically, talking about it as if it's some novel take is very similar to how Pizzacake made a comic about AI being bad. It's like, yeah, we know. At least with the comic it's humorously exaggerated so we can get some amusement out of it. Make a humorously exaggerated comic about a pandering cartoonist and I'll enjoy that, too.
Why would I post something I disagree with? Except for when I wanted to show how bad its reasoning is?

Worse as AI are the corps which develope and use it
Yet another Pizzacake strawman, yawn.
Do you ppl come to an anti-AI community intentionally just to bitch and defend that corporate theft machine?
If it's a strawman, surely you can point out what's inaccurate about it.
Lemmy users and not understanding what strawman means. Name a more iconic duo.
Kind of an iron man have you ever talked to a PISS lover I swear they're all jacking off to plagiarized romance novel soup or kiddie porn soup

It shows up fine for me, but the op linked the source directly. Adding it again here because some apps get weird with links in picture posts.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
