Donald Trump seemingly had a meltdown during a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday after a "nasty" reporter asked whether he was familiar with Wall Street analysts' new term, "TACO trade," an acronym suggesting "Trump always chickens out" under tariff threats.

Generative AI slop is bad, no matter what.

What poor artist should have to live through doing such a cruel job of drawing Donald’s face. Have some humanity.

I wouldn't blame artists for wanting to avoid drawing Trump, he looks like he is mid way through melting Raiders of the Lost Ark style.

Sometimes I feel like the people who say ai is always bad for everything, no matter what, kinda remind me of horse buggy salesmen putting down automobiles at the turn of the century. There are many instances in which ai would actually be a benefit, and many jobs are pretty much obsolete and ai is gonna give them that last push to die. Those jobs were always gonna go. You can’t stop the future.

Artists and other jobs people worry ai will steal are safe, so long as you’re good enough to be better than shitty ai artists, you shouldn’t worry. If ai is funnier and better than you, that’s kinda on you.

Most companies are realizing ai can’t match a human employee for quality. If ai can obsolete you, you were likely on your way out

That said an artist was acccused of using AI but wasn’t https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/art-subreddit-illustrator-ai-art-controversy

and if AI was good enough to replace artists we’d have AI rotoscoping. Still hasn’t managed this one job that should be able to be done by AI and they've been trying to for decades.

no artist wants to rotoscope. Not even AI wants to.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
