Tbh I always loved the idea of an opinionated car GPS/AI, just for fun, I always thought it would be hilarious if it gave instructions with an attitude or responded to the driver in kind, depending on what you throw at it. Still not buying a Tesla, just saying.
I mean yes race does intersect, it’s a longer discussion, I guess I’m just tired of this “whiteness” critique because it feels cheap and easy, hence intellectually lazy. Anything that happens in the west politically can be linked back to whiteness one way or another. I don’t think it’s been particularly helpful as a critique, in fact I think it has backfired and probably needs to go.
Very well said. I wish I could articulate this as well as you have here.
FYI, the manosphere is replete with non-white males, and that is not even including the inherent male chauvinism in other cultures. I’m sorry but the critique on whiteness is a little lazy intellectually.
While I appreciate the work that goes into realistic depictions of the human form and upvote them, I would personally take experimental, weird and unusual compositions over anime tiddies any day. Nothing against anime, it’s just so overdone. While arguably porn/erotic content in most forms is overdone, those that strive for realism in AI porn get brownie points from me because that is not trivial to do (yet). It’s like with renaissance painting hack in the day, realism is still a holy grail that isn’t so easily attainable. But I also appreciate those that come up with strikingly original content, subverting expectations. Whether it repulses or not, that is subjective. And if it’s not allowed on this sub, maybe there should be another for it.
I can imagine this being initially an accidental discovery like oh every time so and so’s body interacts with the WiFi signal it’s the same pattern… until someone starts exploring this further… and then some engineer or their manager started looking for applications for this. In my experience engineering researchers especially are very good with coming up with use cases for whatever tech they’re working with, with little ethical consideration.
