It's okay. There's no need to worry. Technological progress is good and needed to move forward.

AI art won't impress me until it can create art in the style of Sei Shoujo's art.

Nobody should be surprised I'm a degenerate. Messed up eroge is incredible. I just played Gore Screaming Show and Inyochu: Insects of Insemination and they're also kamige.

Hey now, don't insult CLOCKUP and Empress games, they're kamige.

Absolutely. Between translating pre-existing works into other languages, adding content to pre-existing works, creating new works, and enhancing the neocortex to create and experience qualitatively new things, the future is where I want to be. Fortunately, I think the singularity will happen in 2030, so if I'm correct, the wait won't be long.

Gatekeeping is pathetic.

"You call yourself an anime fan?! Have you watched (insert obscure anime here)? No?! THEN YOU'RE NOT A REAL ANIME FAN, NOR WILL YOU BE, UNTIL YOU WATCH EVERY ANIME EVER!"

I don't care about Clip Studio or corporations in general. AI is becoming more advanced and more popular every day, so cope with what, exactly? Progress and success? Sure thing.

They're concerned about artists having more freedom which isn't a valid concern.

Spreading misinformation about how AI synthesis works and choosing not to implement said technology after already deciding to do so because of nonsensical whining about progress despite AI obviously paving the way for the future is indeed cowardly.

Artists wanting other artists to have less options for their art is such a pretentious mentality.

This cowardly company will be defunct soon due to media synthesis. It'll be glorious when technology enables everyone to be self-sustaining and makes every corporation obsolete.

I'm incredibly confident that those who have been cryopreserved will be reanimated.

Basic income should be implemented regardless of automation because it would end poverty, give everyone more freedom, and it would be excellent for the economy.

We don't have enough modules in our neocortex to know what's beyond our comprehension.

There will be qualitatively new things when people enhance their neocortex, but that's all we know right now, because it's literally impossible to have any understanding of what's beyond the scope of our current neocortex until we transcend by enhancing our neocortex.

What are the technical reasons causing you to think the singularity won't happen until 2050?

I think when AGI is created, ASI won't be far behind, and I consider ASI to be the singularity,

Your comment about waifus and other animated characters is right on the money.

I don't think enough people have seriously considered how dramatically society will change when there's virtual reality that has 2D art with 3D movements (and it doesn't even have to be full dive right away for such technology to change everything overnight).

Consider how many people (including myself) obsesse over anime, and then imagine those same people having access to VR that allows for experiences that puts them into the anime, resulting in a lot of people spending the overwhelming majority of their time immersed in different stylized environments instead of the single boring enviroment of our present reality.

Synthetic biology will enable people to change their appearance whenever they want.

However, that's not what I'm interested in; I'm attracted to animated characters, not people, so full dive virtual reality is what I want.

Animated 2D (not 3D; 2D > 3D, after all) illustrations experienced through full dive virtual reality will change everything because people will have the same perspective as animated characters.

I bet there's millions of asexuals like me who are perpetually horny but can't do anything but masterbate because who they want to fuck are pixels from another dimension, but thanks to technologies that are on the horizon, people will be able to transcend and enter those dimensions (and I do mean that literally as a result of enhancing the neocortex).

The singularity should happen soon; we'll go beyond space elevators by that point.

Technology will solve global warming and medicine will enable everyone to live forever.

Some people (including myself) are just not that interested in VR without it being fully immersive. Today's VR doesn't even support 2D art with 3D movements (neither does any other interactive medium at the moment, but it'll be a game changer when it finally happens).

Not the same. What would the advantages of quantum computing over classical computing be for most people? The adventages of full dive over VR less than that are clear.

Please define "decent" and "practical".

Full dive virtual reality might not be created until the 2030's, but that's still soon.

"Everything pertaining to the technological singularity and related topics, e.g. AI, human enhancement, etc." which means that this thread is relevent on this subreddit.

AI art and human art are equally as original.

Literally all jobs are going to become obsolete in the 2020's or the 2030's; AGI will accelerate progress in molecular nanotechnology research, leading to the creation of the nanofactory, which will enable post-scarcity.
