01:27Full Transcript
[00:02] AI is a dream come true. It's like a AI-generated comic panel where the best I can draw." And it's a stick figure trying to like hit a baseball. And then a bunch of people with shirts that say "Anti-AI Club." They're all
[00:15] skill and you suck." And then the next frame is a person being really happy with a super highly rendered drawing of a baseball player. And they say, player action pose detail textures on a beautiful day." And then it's them next
[00:30] to two anti-AI people, the same people who are thinking, "This is so good, but we can't admit it." And the person in the middle is really happy. Oh my god, dude, the rage bait, man. I can empathize with the frustration of being
[00:42] bad at something, but the reality is every single artist who started drawing at some point sucked at it, okay? We've all been there where we drew something, we put pen to paper, pen to tablet, and it looked like ass. And you look at it
[00:56] and you're like, "Man, I freaking suck." The difference is we put in the time. We learn how to draw, to learn technique, to learn anatomy, to learn shading, to where we are today. The person in the comment just didn't do the learning part
[01:09] expert. They were like, "Well, now I can have the same art that you guys have. Why are you mad at me for it? I should have this. I should have this art. I accolade that comes with it anyways." You know, okay, on a complete side note,
[01:24] you know what I think the absolute irony of this is? They used AI baseball. Like the baseball isn't even drawn correctly. Like bro didn't even draw their own stick figure. This is why I like I want to
[01:38] I want to be empathetic, but like come on, you didn't even draw your own goddamn stick figure. You're telling me you can't even do that?
