@davidrevoy @jesuisatire - Hi David, I'm a big fan of your comics and I know they are all made by you without AI.
But deep in my heart I'm also a big AI fan and like to generate images that I wouldn't be able to do on my own - am I a bad person now? Anyway, I always feel bad when I get hate comments for AI images that I have generated.this is what I think about AI - please feel free to write your comment 😀

Thank you for your words.
I don't think you are a bad person: feeling empowered by AI gen and LLMs was made addictive by design by companies. It's a very consumerism approach of ordering or prompting a quick result in order to short circuit your own ability to learn or feel able to do so. (Eg. citing your words "[...] I wouldn't be able to do on my own").
Making art is "to be", not "to have". You are the art. But with AI gen only, what are you? -
@davidrevoy So true ! This week especially, I was called "a dinosaur" (by a person older than me) for not wanting to use AI in my work (no need, it's better to learn and understand what you're dealing with), I was somehow scolded by ma colleague who told me also that she is usually trying to avoid people like me who are cautious with AI (What the fuck of the coconut ! 🤪 - she is a "linkedin"-kind of type, she uses it to create applets without understanding them. Her website is a patchwork).
@tbzhg Yeah, I've come across something pretty similar at a conference. What a nightmare!
It's wild how confident and self-assured this type of person is. The one I met was impossible to even start a discussion with, because for him, I was a threat to the illusion of empowerment and productivity he had with AI. -
@davidrevoy Birds are human too tho

@davidrevoy, we're definitely losing something with that (mis)use of “super”. This loss looks ungood, possibly even double-plus ungood…
@lp0_on_fire Yes, I hesitated with "really easy", a safer option, but I wanted something a bit more original for her way to speak. I've heard "super easy" multiple times on Youtube videos. Esp. as a catch phrase for Ryan George's Pitch Meetings series on the Screen Rant channel, a Canadian writer and actor/comedian. Maybe it's a Canadian expression?

@davidrevoy, possibly, but it seems like a USA thing to me which is very much finding its way… seemingly everywhere else. Personally, if there's “super easy”, why not also “sub easy” (which badly needs a hyphen) and the like too…

and others (from search results for “origin of super instead of very”). -

and others (from search results for “origin of super instead of very”).@lp0_on_fire "super" is also an intensifier adjective in France for many decades. That's why probably it felt natural to me.
