it can lol i honestly think it can also be used effectively. there is an interesting way to go about it.
- Comment on People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage 3 days ago:
you’re not wrong truly it’s about how you look at what is being created. a lot of studio albums are polished because they want to represent the artist’s closest vision. it isn’t necessarily about being raw, that’s for Live. they want to make the song they know is there in the exact way they hear it. pitch correct will not take somebody who is truly bad and make them sound good because the worse they are the more the effect has to be adjusted. it becomes really obvious and you’ll hear sharp corrections.

i’m sorry but i am a musician and know producers and this doesn’t pass the smell test. what you think of as crap may be decent lol.

…yes, i know what Melodyne is thanks lol. it still cannot do that. it will be incredibly bad sounding and obvious if the singer isn’t able to sing on key consistently enough and the errors aren’t minimal.
- Comment on People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage 3 days ago:
i don’t think so. autotune does not make a bad singer good or otherwise generate new content from existing material. every artist uses a variant of autotune, but it is an editing tool, not a replacement for skill.

huh??? there is no context here. are you an LLM yourself?
- Comment on Is lemmy dying? 1 week ago:
i don’t think so. it appears to be growing tbh.
- Comment on Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments? 2 weeks ago:
it depends. you mention “intense fear” as opposed to being uncomfortable or uneasy or feeling slightly threatened. that would be the average response, i’d think. if you have a history of abuse or trauma, then your intense fear may be a disordered response.
- Comment on I will never not be angry they we are made to believe these types of comments are genuine discourse. Why is it defeatism is always the top comment even when your talking about a pedophile president? 3 weeks ago:
this is you problem, sorry. that is the appropriate response to repeated pattern of inaction and no accountability. you would rather, what, be stupidly optimistic because it makes you feel good? too bad lol this is reality.
- Comment on Warnings rise for U.S. as severe flu strain causes outbreaks in Canada, U.K. 3 weeks ago:
great. just what us Americans need; another outbreak for the oligarchy to ignore while the peasants make them money and die. the CDC is a captured entity. what do we do now? i’d recommend paying attention to WHO.
- Comment on Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to 3 weeks ago:
the focus is on POC because the conversation is about POC supporting minority groups. it’s meant to highlight unity against oppression but the most wealthy have abandoned the oppressed group they’re within instead. that is a unique thing not shared by everyone.
- Comment on Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to 3 weeks ago:
i don’t see that being said anywhere. was it edited? it does not imply that at all. they’re saying minorities should help minorities. stating all billionaires should be taxed is a separate statement. both can be true.
- Comment on Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to 3 weeks ago:
that is a separate statement. this is highlighting minority groups supporting minority groups. please respect the discussion being made around that instead of smugly correcting. bean soup theory at work, jfc. not every statement is exclusionary because it doesn’t address your personal viewpoint.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 1 month ago:
i agree heh. i’m glad i’m a furry during a good time to be one. also, with more tech we get more advanced suits and species like protogens can exist IRL. there’s a lot of suit makers too, so there’s tons of unique styles. it’s neat.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 1 month ago:
…? you mean us furries? why are there so many furries? lol
if so, the human fascination with animals is ancient. over time we began attributing human traits to their behaviors and started connecting to them on personal and spiritual levels. then when we started making art we depicting those anthropomorphic animals on cave walls.
furries simply inhabit a persona (fursona) to express themselves behind the security of the confidence being that character gives them. a lot of us feel like our fursona is an ideal representation of ourselves. it helps us connect to our own personhood, strangely.
it’s also fun and can be sexy if ya want.
- Comment on People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off. 1 month ago:
how is it different? it isn’t and that is fine. because you are treating leftists as some kind of side or team when in reality far left “extremism” is largely in response to authoritarian violence and fascism. it is a reaction to oppression, it isn’t an aimless violence or a way to enforce your ideology on to others.
it is different because we have the moral high ground here. have some respect for your beliefs and agree that you are right. we are on the right side of history and we have to act like it or we are going to fucking lose.

he may have advocated non-violence but he did not condemn violence. he understood it as an inevitable and necessary response under continued oppression. please don’t whitewash him.
we are not going to protest our way out of fascism. i hope we all know there is much more to be done.

- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 1 month ago:
also, may i ask a question? you say “is and remains” a marker for life. i am not well read about these things, is that because DMS is only observed as a biosignature here on Earth, or are you saying it couldn’t possibly have a nonbiological origin?
- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 1 month ago:
oh hey, wonderful. thank you!
- Comment on Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough. 1 month ago:
my guess: there is an exoplanet, K2-18b, that was discovered to have an abundance of detectable biosignatures in its atmosphere. at the time, there wasn’t much in the way of another explanation that didn’t involve life. however, astronomers recently found a failed star that is filled with biosignature molecules… so… ah lol. now perhaps K2-18b has another explanation after all.

ambivalence isn’t when you write the opinions of an entire group of people off because they’re weird
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
yeah that’s normal you’re fine
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
yes, i am aware. i’m a furry.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
i would also not associate with them, you’re good.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Weird that you think that a bunch of 13 year olds being ok with something means OP is lying about not being ok with it…
weird that you’re focusing on minors when i mentioned two generations
if you make it impossible for me to look past it, we’re probably not gonna get along
most furries are normal about their hobby is the overall point here, and one that i have seen spread like wildfire online the lat 5 or so years. i have seen furry posts on TikTok receive a ton of attention and all the comments are some variation of “why did people hate furries?” or “furries seem cool.” it might be cringey but being cringe is not embarrassing anymore. catch up. it’s freeing.

yeah if you’re a loser
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
furry hate in 2005 was 100% homophobia lol it’s never really gone away either. it’s largely that nowadays too. it’s a way to hate queer people without outwardly hating queer people. they think we don’t see it. it’s also just dumb as hell and a waste of your one life spend any amount of time literally hating people for a hobby that involves playing pretend and using their imagination. oh no, the horror, they can access something you can’t anymore.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
dude lol it’s fine. it’s a hobby. you know it, i know it, everyone knows it. zoomers are fine with furries, alpha even more so. you’re not going to win this just stop. it’s so dumb.
