Holy Toledo

If he doesn't have what it takes, and he keeps encouraging him to go for that anyway, then he'd be encouraging his son to live in a fantasy world until he gets mowed down by the real one. That would not be a favor to his son. It would be a failure in his duty to prepare him for adult life.

I guess that would make sense to someone with narcissistic or psychopathic personality organization. "All benefits must accrue to me."

You're doing him a favor. Even if he was just as good as you, he wouldn't be guaranteed to have as much luck as you did. Might never be seen by the right people at the right time. He needs a realistic career plan regardless of whether he tries to make it professionally.

This is incredibly bad advice

You love to see it

I ain't reading all that

I saw a famous youtube guy talking about "AI slop garbage."

He was mad because he had bought AI-generated music to use in the background of one of his videos, and he wound up getting a copyright strike for it. He knew it was AI at the time he bought it. It didn't occur to him that admitting this was a self-own. (If it's garbage, why did you pay for it, and why would you put it on your own video?)

He then went on to claim what a big problem AI music is because someone can sell him AI stock music and then get Content ID on it, thereby causing him to get a strike. It apparently didn't occur to him that anybody can produce stock music with a synthesizer and zero AI at all, and do exactly the same thing.

The thumbnail read something like "Copyright claimed by Suno AI." Suno had not done any such thing.

Despite the video being thoroughly self-contradictory, the comment section was full of supportive words by people who evidently copy their opinions uncritically from whatever people are saying on Twitter and Reddit. When you see someone typing "ai slop" in the form of issuing a judgment about something, what you are seeing is just that, an opinion copied uncritically from others, and never examined.

Youtube is full of videos like this. They're basically breakfast cereal for people who are incapable of thinking more than one layer deep into anything, and are therefore unable to understand ANYTHING other than optics.

I think probably it's easier to ask it to draw Cthulhu than the weird flying starfish tentacle monsters

Shhhh. Don't drag us into this

What do you mean "collectively"

Would you accept responsibility for somebody else's actions because they were born within the same arbitrary block of years as you?
