Anti-genAI art platform Cara has been scraped a second time and the AI bros are taking sheer perverse joy in the distress it’s causing the artists who contribute to the platform
Fuckin hell. I’m Autistic, but I’m not like that. Can’t claim Autism for being a gobshite.
Leave the autism out of this, AI Bros are narcissists, whether they have autism or not isn’t really relevant.
-An Autist that can’t draw, write or code worth shit, but still hates genAI with a passion.
I can code, but I’m still not gonna use that to compensate my inadequacy at things other people can do well. I’d rather contact an artist for a commission than have the Plagiarism Machine produce it.
(I’d also rather not contact strangers with personal requests, because I’m worried I’d come across as overly obsessive with details to the point of cramping their style and I don’t want to make strangers uncomfortable, so the odds lf me ever commissioning art are about the odds of me making friends with someone who happens to produce art in a style I like, but that’s beside the point. “No art” is still better than “stolen art soup”.)
Yeah. “Autistic” does not and should not imply “ethically stunted”. I am autistic. Of course I am driven to solve problems. The drive to solve any particular problem, however, is greatly reduced when a large group of people whom I consider peers band together and state as loudly as they possibly can that they do not want it to be solved. Anyone who endeavors to solve such a problem anyway should re-evaluate their life choices and consider whether their clearly impressive talents could be put to better use.
Sincerely, an autistic programmer who can’t draw for shit but still hates genAI with a passion.
Yeah. “Autistic” does not and should not imply “ethically stunted”.
Greta Thunberg is autistic. The person who said “The IDF bombed our flotilla, so we have to try again,” and she said it in the most casual tone, like she was talking about running to the store for a loaf of bread.
Autism is a super-power, but like all super-powers, it all depends upon how you choose to use it.
In some respects, yes. A number of autistic adults describe an almost visceral discomfort with dishonesty, favoritism, or bent rules, the kind of thing many neurotypical people shrug off as “just how things work.” That’s not a quirk. It shows up repeatedly in research on moral rigidity and rule adherence in autism.
The pattern seems to trace back to how autistic cognition handles consistency. Where a neurotypical brain might flex a rule depending on who’s involved or what’s socially convenient, an autistic brain is more likely to apply the same standard everywhere, to everyone, every time. This is explored in depth in relation to moral rigidity and its connection to a strong sense of right and wrong often seen in autism.
I like it when they don’t consent.
This is a bad person even outside of the Ai context.
“I get a dopamine hit from emotionally disturbing other people”
this is a bad person.
They got a blue check on twitter, is it any wonder they are a trash person?
Dawg that isn’t autism, you’re just an asshole.
The trait all assholes share isn’t their religion, race, gender, sex, neurological status, or social class.
It’s that they’re fucking assholes.
I get it, though. Even if you aren’t pro-AI, some just do it for the lulz.
Hate to break it to ya, but you’re an asshole too.
Oh, get off your high horse. Tell me you’ve never once trolled someone on the internet.
Destroying someone’s online safety and torching whatever job security they might try to cling to for a laugh does not constitute “”“trolling”“”, shitbag.
Go touch grass for a while, and contemplate how you became such a contemptible human being.
You should follow your own advice. Becoming a lolcow is not gonna stop slop jockeys from trolling artists.
I always knew AI boosters were rapists.
lol wut
Do these people really think themselves autistic because they know enough English to ask Claude to put together a scraper?
Us true autistics don’t get a thrill from pissing people off or stealing because autists have a strong moral compass.
I’m now pissed about the theft of this art AND this assholes suggestion that autists are to blame.
For people that like messing with technology, couldn’t writing an AI poisoner software also hit the same dopamine spot?
Yeah that “speedrunning” shit is not autism. That’s just being an asshole. An autistic person would probably know the difference, which I guess is ironic.
People thinking autistic lack empathy because they don’t engage in the two faced bullshit social games everyone else does, when actually they have a better sense of morality and ethics and social boundaries and empathy than any of these fuckers ever will.
This makes me wonder why we haven’t yet seen an AI bro beaten into a bloody pulp for being an AI bro. The artist community sure has a lot of patience.
It is not the tism but I bet you don’t stop when they say no
Ai bros, are factually the dumbest people to ever live
These clankers and AI Glazers tend to have dark personality traits. I am not surprised that they are so callous and cruel towards people just to glaze their latest golden calf (which will fail, as it is so very hated). How very heartless of them, unsurprisingly they have a paid blue check mark on a fascist site.

Even if everybody loved AI, there’s no way it could succeed. The more popular it becomes, the more money they lose.
Yeah, nobody would be able to pay the realistic prices required to keep these LLM twats running and profitable. The only one who was ever going to profit was NVIDIA and hardware manufacturers. At least until the next snake oil product is peddled…
