I've seen a lot of variations of the trolley problem, and this is the first time I've ever heard the "heavy man." It also makes zero sense, because a heavy man would do nothing to a trolley.
Frequently the point of comparing the two is to caution before they actually become comparable, though. I think it's intentional hyperbole to make a stark point, not an insensitive reduction.
Not if you want any kind of consistency so you can actually replicate or understand what you're doing. Like hallucinations aside (and we really shouldn't put them aside because they're a very real thing in this context), the point of a recipe is that you aren't just getting an averaged version of the process; you're getting a curated version with specific considerations in mind.
So you can ask AI for a cinnamon apple pie recipe, and you might get an okay one, but you're probably never going to get a better-than-average one. And if you do like the version of the recipe it gave you, you had better write it down because when you ask for it next time, it's not going to be the same cinnamon apple pie recipe. I've personally played around with recipes in AI, and even within the same chat, there's no consistency because it never "knows" anything; it only makes predictive guesses. So when I say, "I like that recipe, but let's try half as much ginger and maybe add some mirin," it will reduce the ginger and add mirin, but suddenly all the volumes of the other ingredients have changed, and some items may even disappear.
So yeah, I think this is something that AI could potentially work well for in the future, as is kind of always the case with any potentially useful AI application right now. But right now, until they've been developed with some kind of better active memory and/or something resembling comprehension rather than predictive association, I think this is a field where AI is passable at best, not yet somewhere it shines.
SEO is part of it, but it's also literally just more physical real estate for ads. Recipe sites, including personal recipe blogs, are infamous for the sheer volume of ads placed on them. Yes, everyone just scrolls to the recipe so it kind of doesn't matter, but longer text means more space for ads.
Half the drama in all romance, not just rom-coms, would be entirely avoided if relevant characters were engaging in healthy adult communication. Anime is far from the worst offender in the unhealthy relationships regard.
I agree with the sentiment that loli shit is disgusting, but the problem is that so many of you sexless prudes go in looking for shit to be offended by and start projecting onto shit that's fine. Like the character Kusano in Sekirei is fully gross, a disgusting pedo-bait character that simply should not exist in the story, period. That shit should absolutely be rallied against.
But then y'all bring up shit like Momo from MHA like it's the same thing. It's fucking not, at all. A post or near post-adolescent character wearing titillating attire in much the same way that comparable real life pop stars do is just not even remotely on the same level as actual children being depicted as sexual viable partners, especially in the context of a story like MHA where the protag is a literal high schooler expressing romantic interest in his age-appropriate peers.
And "glorifying unhealthy relationships" is fine enough critique I suppose but one that hardly applies solely, or even primarily, to manga and anime.
That's fair criticism. In the comic at hand, you're right, they're not a non-existent strawman, as this strawman does exist. The apt critique for this specific comic is more about how blaringly obvious the conclusion that is being presented as revelatory is, so I shouldn't have used the word "non-existent" in this specific critique. Very fair, cheers.
You aren't even using that term right; I'm not asking for you to engage me in shit, nor am I feigning civility as I've been pretty clearly aggressive in my stance and told you to fuck off. Again, enormous pot/kettle projection. But hey, I'll save us both the trouble and do the blocking for you. 👍
Pot/Kettle much? You haven't even engaged with my criticism, since I never once have called pizzacake's comics either "crazy" or "irrelevant" or any synonym thereof; if anything they're too pedestrian and "low-hanging fruit," the exact opposite of those critiques.
And you see, this right here is why some of us don't want pizzacake's bullshit here; it is seemingly impossible for people to engage with criticism of them honestly, for some unknown reason.
I have never once sought out a pizzacake comic to shit on. I have never once criticized pizzacake for anything outside the content of the art she has personally entered into the public square or her conduct in relation to said art. All I have ever done is engage with the art brought into the public square for consideration. This is c/comicstrips, not c/comicstripsycophantry, ostensibly a community for the discussion and consideration of this media form, not just a place for empty yes-manning.
So as for you, feel free to take your own advice and just block me if you find my content distasteful, but as for your assertion, you can kindly fuck right off with that.
What job do you have where your boss would care and you would get in trouble for the word "Fuck" appearing on your screen where you wouldn't get in trouble for just browsing Lemmy in general?
This has always felt like a solution in search of a problem to me.
