  • When I see an image, it's really easy to tell it's A.I. generated, even with no "anomalies".

    It's so many things. The lack of composition, the inconsistencies, the lack of artistic direction and story. As a random case study, with the popularity of "Ghibli style A.I. art", when humans made one of my favourite films Arrietty, each scene has emotional direction and a purpose. An A.I. will never be able to convey the melancholy look of a disabled character, or contrast it with the joy when they finally make a friend. Or the grim determination to protect something important to you.

    They can't make artistic decisions or put in details or foreshadowing. Nothing will surprise you and make you think, "oh of course they need this improvised tool to exist in this tiny world". It won't make you laugh or cry. Because there's nothing at all "behind" the image. No thoughts or life experience or emotion. It's just a statistical average based on a prompt. But it might look decent enough to survive a cursory inspection.

    I found these examples from a quick Google search to compare A.I. with genuine Ghibli. Surely you can tell what mean with these.

    5 Reasons Chinese Players Give Positive/Negative Reviews on Steam — What Are YOUR Standards for Rating a Game?

    Jump

  • I give almost every game a positive review. My logic is, I can recommend almost every game to "someone", even if I didn't enjoy it personally. I make sure to highlight both the good parts, and the reasons I personally disliked it in my review.

    A recent example was Against the Storm and Anno 1800. Normally I love city builder games like Farthest Frontier, but those two games I just didn't like them for various reasons. But they're still a good game, clearly effort put in. On Steam I gave them a thumbs up recommended review. Out of 10 I would give them 6–7 (heh). To me 1–4 is the scale of badness, how bad is this. 5 is meh. 6–10 is the scale of goodness, how good the game is. So anything I would give even a 5 needs to be a thumbs up if reduced to a binary choice.

    I've been told I'm weird though. Like I'll give something a 6/10 and people will say to me oh I didn't realise you hate it so much. Like what? When did 6/10 mean bad? I call it review inflation. Where for most people 1–8 is the scale of bad, 9 is mid, and 10/10 is good. Most people have no room left for true excellence anymore.

    For me a 10 is a peak craftsmanship like The Return of the Obra Dinn, And Roger, Animal Well, Elden Ring. It has to make me "feel" something. Mystery, discovery, rage. Wonder. Something new, or something old done really well.

  • Yeah it's easy to do it non-committaly. Like just have some frozen spinach or broccoli in the freezer. Microwave for 4 minutes in a bowl and add some feta cheese and put it on toast if you're feeling energetic. Easy deconstructed spanakopita

  • Expensive how? If anything I've found it cheaper to do that. Especially since most ingredients freeze well so I don't have to shop as often

  • That makes sense. I kind of just assume everyone can find out my identity if they try hard enough. So my infosec is as if I'm speaking to a stranger on a nearby train. They could probably follow me home but I don't give them a reason to and I don't say anything incriminating.

  • You'd think so based on how quickly it died, but it was a $70 USD (on 50% discount) "Colgate Electric Toothbrush Series 2". Only lasted 12 months. And no I didn't get it wet, but it does live in the bathroom (like all toothbrushes).

  • Fear of loss or instability from the kid. Even if everything is perfectly stable, kids are really smart — they overhear adults talking about how crazy the world is right now. Makes them worried. Can you 100% guarantee that nothing happens to you when you're in another room in a chaotic and uncertain world? Anxiety makes your mind imagine the worst. Too many kids these days are a bundle of nerves

  • I've never been to the UK, I've only heard it's similar to the situation in AU second hand from people who have actually lived there.

    For example when I needed to see a psychiatrist it took 18 months, a rheumatologist took 24 months, and general medicine physician took 20 months. My ex's psychiatrist took 12 and psychologist took 6, only because it was a critical emergency. I'm glad you had a good experience though

  • It's been joked that Australia is half socialist, and I kind of agree with it. Never been to the UK so I can't say much about that.

  • I kept getting shadow banned constantly. My comments ending up with 1 view no up or down votes. For completely arbitrary reasons as well. And I got completely banned from a few communities by accidentally using extremist terminology (?).

    And yes I don't doubt they removed it for a reason, it makes it a much less friendly place. Like you're putting down and directly affecting the other person rather than just disagreeing. It's hard to explain.
