That being said, I do acknowledge that logically, there is not much difference between a digital artist and an AI artist. Neither of them could produce anything of value without their software of choice.

Uh, no. The vast majority of skills utilized by digital artists apply across any software and with analog tools as well just as we've used them for hundreds of years. They are quite capable of producing similar works without digital tools at all. You cannot say the same for someone refining a prompt for a piece of software that scrapes everything from other people's creativity.

The closest analog would be an art director for a collage project. That is what an AI artist does.

Take a genuine interest in their obsessions. Not a performative "I want you to see I like this for you" but a real "I've been going out and doing this on my own for the past few weeks/months and I want to talk about it"

You do actually have to do it, they'll spot your bullshit before you speak it.

They're saying society is set up and engrained in a way where the best solutions for you and I are only as good as torturing ourselves with alarms and keeping a steady supply of frozen convenience fees.

They're saying it's only a "disorder" in a negative sense because society has failed to understand that the way things "work" and the traditional ways heavily favor the A-type extroverted morning people (sociopaths) who cannot comprehend how their routines might not be universal. Everyone is forced to live with it regardless because banking hours and business meetings exist for them.

You're complaining about the very thing he's saying is forcing you to be "disordered"

This is the same for me. Comes with downsides too, but I've found weed incredibly valuable for.. not really controlling or prompting hyperfocus states, but definitely a strong catalyst.

Still don't really feel in control over which single line of interest gets the focus, but at least it's not everything.

That sets prisoners up as underclass members of general society which is exactly the condition that leads to a lot of people becoming criminals in the first place

That's the unspoken point. The system is already so drunk on the exploitation of slave labor to the point that all involved actively seek to encourage recidivism. They want all of us for any reason they can shit out.

Definitely, the screwdriver and banana are pretty obvious too

"should be" doesn't account for the realities of the hiring process, the intense credential inflation, or being positioned well enough to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

People didn't go out and get useless degrees, they were trained for fields that were rendered obsolete by the time they graduated and are facing intense competition with absurd requirements.

You might be surprised how motivating a man with a big rock can be.

It will, there will always be charlatans looking to get their jollies by lying for an audience.

Damn, I had forgotten how obnoxious that was on Reddit. Blocked all of those years ago because it was just unnecessary and a gross way to qualify otherwise unremarkable photos.
