Sorry, feature touristing. Was going to reply in to the Sharty post but it's already buried in 10 pages of incomprehensible memes. Speaking of soulless art, they've literally ruined the troonjak for me.
Looking at this I now understand why these people think tracing over AI images is supposed to be an attack against AI when they react like this when the opposite happens.
But they think tracing over it is attacking AI because any kind of tracing is considered a mortal sin. The supposedly authentic 'craftsmanship' matters. I imagine it's similar 'thinking' to how that Lumen City furry takes photos of people he doesn't like.
Hysterical indignation aside, I'd be more sympathetic if everything these people do wasn't just unbelievably trite and childish. Political fantasies, furry avatars, and video game stuff. This isn't creation, this is digital daydreaming.

Like what the fuck was that supposed to be before they changed it? Is that Lego Princess Leia? If you genuinely believed in preserving the skill of digital art as a craft, why would you waste it making
that.
Are they abandoning thought, or did they never think in the first place anyway?
It could just be people memeing or experimenting or bot accounts collecting information for machine learning. As for the Indians, it's
this.
𝕏 is the only platform they don't have a significant presence on. Indian languages are completely different from English (the Sanskrit alphabet has 51 characters), and they are incredibly culturally delicate and have many many nuances, which Grok has overlooked. Indians were flocking there trying out the AI, and apparently it/was can both be chill and unrepentantly offensive.
"
Oi bhos***la, chill kar" was what the chatbot said. The uncensored version should apparently read along the lines of "
Oi bhosadpappu, chill kar", which according to what Indians looking at it are saying, is roughly the equivalent of "Chill out, cunt": As literally as I can work out: "Hey, whorish vagina retard child, chill out."
Edit: I have to archive this shared Grok conversation here because I can't copy the log, but basically an Indian is telling it off and getting the bot to explain itself.

Edit: There were rumours it was going to be banned because of the war. But I tested it with a VPN and Google Translate and it worked, but because they both use similar translation models, I can't tell if the issues are fixed.
