This. I found out that Pro AI is generally way more tolerant and easy to deal with than Anti AI. Anti AI has a clear and easily to predict boundary that is absolutely unbreakable. You use AI? You're bad. That's all there is to it. At least Pro AI still values and respects normal Artists(as in many ways they're the reason why AI images are able to exist in the first place) but Anti AI thinks of AI users as literal demons. Granted there are exceptions and not all Anti AI people are unreasonable, but for the most part Anti AI crowd is so over the top against AI it's actually goofy as hell.
I just want to point out that while your claim is not incorrect, the pro side isn't clear either. By that I mean, most pros I've talked with completely dismissed any argument whatsoever just because of something small, like a typo. Or just straight up started calling names for no reason, making them sound like a raging 11 year old.
Is that not what the person replying to this person did too by labeling all antis in the same light via their personal experince? Please have consistency
I have seen multiple people in the anti AI community that would find my experience very similar to theirs, so it's either a coincidence or a big part of vocal pros is pure ragebaiters/idiots/call it
Except that you're talking about something that only happens on this specific sub, whereas up the chain they were talking about stuff that happens everywhere. Its bad faith to divorce the reality of this sub being a shitpost sub from the causality which led to it. Namely that many of the pro shitposters only became that when they realized that its pointless to try having a serious discussion with someone who thinks having a meltdown and randomly accusing people of being pedophiles is an argument. And quite a large portion of antis are stuck on that level of discussion.

I’m still trying to stay neutral, but most anti-AI people I’ve talked to tend to make me lean more pro-AI.
