@LouisAnslow I thought y'all said AI makes your work easier. What is the point of something that cant get results right after all those attempts?

Anyone who thinks "AI = easy mode" honestly just sounds dumb and out of touch. For context, I’ve been doing product design for 20+ years, including giant brands like Febreze, Swiffer, and Abercrombie with multi-continent supply chains etc. I can tell you that AI is by FAR the most technically and cognitively demanding thing I’ve done in my career. Yes plenty of people use it to make videos of Charlie Sheen farting on Pikachu or whatever but using AI tools at a high level is HARD. It makes production a lot easier and faster (eg, writing code or generating images) but the cognitive part (deciding what code should be written or what image should be generated) is just as slow and hard as ever, so your brain is now the bottleneck.

A Kenyan man confronts a school driver for picking up children at 4 a.m. to take them to school. This trend by schools of collecting school-going children very early in the morning has become increasingly common, without considering how it affects the children.

@KenyanSays Missed opportunity, even Noah Lyles did a charity run with speed. If omanyala wanted to get paid im sure his team could have arranged a sponsor to finance the race.

“I am not an influencer. I have big companies like Toyota and Adidas that pay me to run. I can’t do an exhibition run,” Africa’s fastest man, Ferdinand Omanyala, explains why he didn’t race IShowSpeed during the streamer’s tour in Kenya!

Skilled artists switching to gen AI makes no sense to me, You must really hate your own art to let AI do it for you.

Does AI haters also hate printers? Because clearly printers made painters very useless. The machine could copy the work of a painter indefinitely without getting tired, without making mistakes, with perfect representation every single time. I wonder what the ludditos said?

@muriellondon Generating AI images is pressing buttons, It is irrelevant what amount of research and work you did before, when it comes to the actual "creating an image" part, you press some buttons to ask the model to do the work for you. You gave requirements, the machine created the image.

People keep saying “AI art is theft” because models were trained on images from the internet. Let’s talk about that calmly, without noise or hate. 🎨 First, AI models don’t copy artworks. They don’t store or retrieve existing images. They learn patterns, the way colors blend, light behaves, or compositions are structured, exactly as an art student does when studying hundreds of paintings in a museum. 🎓 In fact, every art school in the world teaches by imitation. Students copy masters like Da Vinci, Monet, or Van Gogh to understand technique and style. That isn’t theft, it’s learning through observation. AI training works the same way, only with mathematics instead of sketchbooks. 💡 Art has always evolved through influence. Impressionists were accused of betraying realism. Cubists were mocked for destroying form. Digital art was dismissed as “not real art.” Every new medium begins as controversy before it becomes culture. 🧠 AI is not an artist. The human behind it is. Every piece of AI art starts with human intent, vision, story, emotion, composition, and countless hours of refinement. The machine doesn’t choose the subject, framing, or feeling. The artist does. 🔧 Creating AI art is not pressing a button. It’s a process of research, trial, and editing. We test hundreds of prompts, blend styles, correct flaws, upscale, animate, and build meaning from chaos. Just like a painter uses brushes and pigments, we use data and code. ❤️ Art is emotion, not method. If an image moves you, makes you think, or fills you with wonder, it’s art. Whether it’s made with a brush, a lens, or a neural network, what matters is the soul behind it. So no, AI art is not theft. It’s the next chapter in a very long story of human creativity. and those who embrace it are not replacing artists, they’re expanding what art can be.
