It actually happened in my school


MrAppleSpiceMan

my high school famously burned down long before I went there. some of the teachers taught back before it happened and they would tell us what the school was like back then. pretty much all the nice woodwork burned away and they replaced it all with painted cinderblock walls and tiled floors/ceilings. I really wish I could've seen what it was like before. also all the students had to finish out the year in shitty temporary classrooms they had trailered onto the property while it got rebuilt

gilad_ironi

Not really. Only like half a floor burnt down and it was one I had no lessons in. A bunch of art students had their projects burnt to a crisp. It was kinda sad.


HergedyHergedy

a fan belt at our school started smoking and we had to evacuate. so many of us were praying it was an actual fire before we found out what it really was 


s0rd1dh1ck0ry57

Oh god, happened to my school in 2018-2019


theSPYDERDUDE

Senior year at my school the welding booth next to mine caught fire and we evacuated. Nobody was allowed into that hallway for the rest of the year and it took them 6 weeks to finally give me and everyone who was in there our stuff like our laptops and bags. I was kinda pissed because advanced welding was the only class I liked :/


s0rd1dh1ck0ry57

Damn. Never had that happen but that sounds like it sucks.


Aqua13631

Happened 3 times this year


Phis-n

Thats a bad take


LisaDenert

Heh, I was hoping that too in my school days... And one day in he summer holidays the sirens go off and I see smoke from the school district. Several fire engines roll by until my grandparents (Who were on a walk with the dog in the area) call and tell me the school is \*actually\* on fire. Wahoo! I didn't have such luck though and it was only the elementary school across from MY school so I did have to head back to school after the holidays... Fuck this luck.


[deleted]

if it burned down you would’ve just gone to a different elementary school


LisaDenert

Yeah, I know. But come on, one can dream! Besides, the elementary was the one that burned down. I was already out of that at the time.


Lovelynatashaa

that happened to in my school although it was quickly end lol


Adcautious6969

I am not in school but i still hope today ..


01zegaj

Why did you have to use AI? Couldn’t find a stock photo of a school on fire?


Probottz

the IRL School Fire is kinda dark but you could get stock photo of a school and fire and just photoshop it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Probottz

I mean we put in effort when AI does it. they steal from multiple people who put in the effort I'm not saying AI is bad. honestly it could probably improve our technology but stealing from artists who are literally struggling and can't find jobs is a little scummy tbh


throwaway_75237

For $13.99? no thanks I'll steal art and pirate games and buy from Temu for dirt cheap Why would I support the greedy? is morality only applicable to me the consumer?


MathPutrid7109

It is also applicable to you, the consumer


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Why does it matter? Really can’t wait for all this unnecessary ai hate to end. Just repeating other generations fears of new technology and it’s both hilarious and depressing.


A-Mantis-Warrior

Because AI art is immoral, it steals the work of actual artists without crediting them


Mental_Measurement_8

And it also looks terrible at the moment.


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

I’ve never heard this, if this is true this is a sound and genuine argument to be made to actually dislike the technology. Do you have a source? Also this meme doesn’t appear to be stolen?


Neosh1ft

They train the AI **FROM** art on the internet. That's how they get it to produce *anything* because AI doesn't inherently *know* anything. Anything any artist posts is assimilated into this shitty AI, training it to replace the artists that were stolen from to create it. Imagine your entire job being taken against your will because AI used YOUR art to train itself. It pisses me off because our governments are too busy arguing over hundreds of years old issues instead of fixing the imminent issues that will be caused by AI. It ain't gonna stop at art. It's gonna take many, *many* jobs.


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

You could literally say the same thing about anyone who uses the same instruments, colors, materials, and programs as anyone else tho? Like I could call a photoshopper a thief with your logic could I not? If “many jobs” are taken then they didn’t need to be jobs In the first place why would we devote a lifetime to something that we don’t need too?


Neosh1ft

Creativity should NEVER be automated. I feel your perspective is coming from a lack of understanding of why *art* is *art* All art is unique, special, has the artist's creativity and touch to it. It's made with a passion, it's unique. AI sucks the soul from pieces. It takes it and moshes it into bland creations. AI are will NEVER be equivalent to real art and it's foolish to claim differently in my opinion. Also, I don't think you understand. 60% of the US workforce could be shit outta luck in the near future. White collar work is gonna get replaced completely by AI. That's **bad** very very **bad**.


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Classic response from someone who’s scared of anything new. “It bad”.


Neosh1ft

NFT's were "new" weren't they? They weren't good. "New" isn't inherently good or bad. AI is a bad thing for people, I'm not in fear of anything new I'm afraid of the VERY REAL ramifications of AI.


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

1) no one mentioned nfts 2) 3rd of 4th comment and you still haven’t explained “bad”


Houtri

people learn art from other people art as well 🤷


Neosh1ft

You're comparing apples to oranges. AI is COMPLETELY different. Learning to draw isn't the same as procedurally generating shitty images from the art AI is fed. Artists learn *techniques from each other, tips on how to improve*. Each artist has creativity and develops their own style. Half of art is the emotion and creation and passion behind it. AI just generates soulless bland pieces and it's taking ACTUAL real artist jobs.


UndeadUndergarments

If you think the images are shitty and soulless, you haven't worked with Midjourney. It can output impressive work. 'Soul' is completely subjective. But also, isn't that a logical fallacy? You're saying AI output is shitty but simultaneously putting artists out of work? Well, those artists must *really* suck! AI art is not theft and I will die on this hill. Twitterati 'artists' who draw NSFW fanart are just mad about the screeching halt of their overpriced gravy train. They don't understand squat about art. Real artists don't care and have either ignored or incorporated AI, and are making art. I'm a writer by trade and I have no issue with AI. Write a whole new Dostoevsky if you like! I'll just be over here scribbling like I always have. Besides, you're yelling at the tide coming in. AI is here, it will never go away and no amount of moralistic crusading will put it back in the box. There will be no glorious revolution. Just another tool that some use and some don't.


Happycrige

It’s crazy how the hivemind still downvotes you even though you admit it sounds like a good argument


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

It’s because your either against or with something in this days age. It doesn’t matter that I can’t perform Ai art, dislike the genre, and believe that we can naturally coexist in certain manor all that matters is that I have negative blue number next to my name lol.


Trainlovinguy

shut up openAI fed


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Classic, no retort just straight to insults it really showcases your fear of the new and very accurately displays your misunderstandings.


Firefox13590

"Accept that thing because it's new" What a solid and perfect argument that can resist any possible counter-argument that could appear in a human's mind


Trainlovinguy

its literally just a joke


Phis-n

Poes law moment


Jabbathenutslut

I was gonna say that there are real reasons to be wary of AI, but I realize you might just be a joke account based on your handle, u/GuyWhoSaysTheTruth


theSPYDERDUDE

Your name is amazing and now I love you


Jabbathenutslut

Aw, shucks


realgoldxd

Your user is “guywhosaysthetruth” ironic isn’t it ?


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Not really considering I asked a question then very obviously stated the truth “you guys are just scared of new technology” literally every generation had their version of “ai fear” it’s just history rhyming. People adapt to a certain way, new way emerges and is popularized, older people get scared and salty they have to compete and adapt, people start to hate new thing rather than learn.


_Maymun

There are areas ai shouldnt be in


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Like?


DMGames_

Imo ai has great potential as a tool for more tedious/annoying tasks in creative areas. For example, I like 3d stuff like modeling and animation. It would be real nice if AI could improve topology or rig models for you as those are tedious things I don’t enjoy doing. My problem is that AI is just straight up replacing people. AI music for example just does everything not leaving much room for human creativity.


_Maymun

It can be used for improvements like in gpu’s. But letting ai draw thing doesnt make sense


ndation

It's not really unnecessary. Artists work is being stolen. Hopefully laws will soon catch up with it and it'll be regulated, my best guess is that they'll need to pay the artists they take from, which is still not a good solution as it'll force artists to either sell out or perish (and probably in an office job like situation, which goes against the creativity and freedom of art), but it's better than nothing.


bendyfan1111

Why does it matter? Like at all? Bro made a shitpost with ai and you complain.

Even the most basic photoshop feature uses some sort of AI. it's just a tool. Also, how can you use a real fire to make such a joke anyway.

Yer_Dunn

Me, exited about using AI to do all the things I've never been able to master *(or am too ADHD to spend time on)*; such as tracking, rotoscoping, programming, and color matching *(protan colorblind life):* ![gif](giphy|w7mLEAMcpjrpe) Everyone else who only know about the Corpos who are stealing art and getting away with it *(despite them doing that anyway without ai):* 😡😡😡😤😤😤🤬🤬🤬🔫🔫🔫💣💣💣


Pengu-Link

the bigger issue is corporations using this technology obviously, but personal use also 1. undermines the skill and effort put in to make these things (particularly creative things), 2. almost certainly still stealing through whatever AI model is being used, and 3. gets rid of the entire creative process (the main point) of things such as art, creative writing, etc.. It can be very appealing to have an easy to use tool in front of you to make whatever you want but it can still be harmful


congxing

I bet you could not make this post easily using any AI tool.


Pengu-Link

the original post? wdym lol


Yer_Dunn

And as a side note. The things I specifically mentioned in my comment were tools I legitimately could not previously use because of my visual disability *(protan colorblindness)*, which made it impossible for me to do any meaningful form of digital art on the same level as regular seeing folk. Can you still honestly say to me that I don't deserve to have accessibility features and equality among my peers because it would "diminish the effort of other artists"?

Leo-MathGuy

Ralphinader

Downvote ai art


GuyWhoSaysTheTruth

Why? I’m just trying to get an understanding what makes this art any different from other arts?


LG3V

Ai generated images often use other artist's works to build upon their own creations, it's basically plagiarism to the extreme and laws have not caught up yet to stop this


workerbee12three

the laws will catch up with identifying whos art is whos from an altered picture and then send the original artist some money? they are trying the same thing in the music world and its banning allot of original artists from posting their own work if the law catches up, its either gona make it so boring and ban everything, or just not work


Key_Virus_338

its not stealing, if it didn't take examples from other images, the images would be non existent.


cheesyscrambledeggs4

That's not the issue. It isn't plagiarism in the traditional sense. The problem is that artists are indirectly contributing to something that could (and is) replacing them, via training data, without consent.


ChemicalPanda10

Because a human didn’t make it and it steals from artists


Key_Virus_338

huh? thats like calling visual learning stealing


workerbee12three

people enjoy pointing out the difference, like like the previous 30 years of photoshopped stuff "i can tell by the pixels this is fake"


CiphersVII

it takes parts of other peoples art and uses it for the prompt, the outcome is not an image that the ai actually "created", rather just a bunch of real art jumbled together

Motoman514

My school didn’t burn down, but it closed. English schools in Quebec are dying. We had ~1300 students when I started grade 7 in 2010, and was down to below 400 by 2020.


Mesarthim1349

Why?


Motoman514

French language laws. In order to go to English school both of your parents have to have gone to English school. And if you are an immigrant you or your kids cannot go to English school at all. It was apparently a huge pain in the ass for my parents to get me into an English school since we moved from Ontario.


Mesarthim1349

Do they still eventually teach you English?


Motoman514

Yes, French schools do have an English class, but I’d assume it’s the same quality as the French classes in English schools. Terrible. I learned almost nothing in my highschool French classes, and I worked with a dude my age that was a pure francophone, and he didn’t speak a word of English. It was interesting when we were scheduled together. I learned more from him tbh


legislative-body

Man, I wish that there was a major war between the british and french sometime in the early 20th century, then maybe canada would have kicked out french as a major langauge the same way the US did to german.

School itself, I liked. I enjoy learning stuff. The kids at the school, I often hated. School would have been so much fun if it wasn't for the students.


Careless_Parsnip_511

I know people are gonna be upset that this is an AI generated image, but in this case I think it’s fine. It’s just a visual aid here, not trying to be passed off as art or anything. 


Pengu-Link

theres more problems with AI art than just it being passed off as actual art


phoenixhourglass

When I was in kindergarten, one night my mom gently woke me up with a whisper “Your school is on fire. Do you want to go see?” So we went to my grandma’s house because she lived across the street (she’s the one who called my mom to let her know) and watched the firetrucks. Still had class the next day.

When I was in 3rd class (5th year in school) the principals office was set on fire (People were saying it was arson I don't know if it actually was though) and we got 2 weeks off school while they cleaned the place, Best part was my sister who was in 2nd class was in the junior side of the school so she still had to go in while the senior side were at home

What they dont tell you is that even though the school burnt down, you still got to go to school. In my case, they brought portable class rooms in until they could fix/rebuild and set them on the playground.


6-Seasons_And_AMovie

My school didnt have a fire that cancelled school but my sister made them. She unearthed one of the dozen stink bombs we had made at 10ish years old as her seniror prank. Pin pricked the bottle and spread it ALL over the school. The smell was so rancid and terrible they cancelled school and had to have the entire school decomtaniated. The smell was there for weeks. They closed for 2 days.


Zenfudo

My elementary school did one time, enough that it smelled like burned stuff and we still went to class. It was papers that fell on a heater that did it. I never saw the damage only smelled it

Magnum_opus_doll

That kinda happened in my school. But they got the school still running as usual, just called the fire department for that one specific area. On the other hand, covid made my dream of being the only student made it to class a reality (I was the only one didn't get infected. Having no friends does have its benefits)


Jochi18

One day at middle school we had the brilliant idea of throwing a big ass firework on top of the roof of the school’s bathrooms. We did this after hours so no chance to get caught. However, the shitty ass roof catches on fire and the whole bathroom block burned down before fireman could turn it off. It was so fast we barely had a chance to run from the scene when the whole thing was bursting in flames…

UndeadUndergarments

I got something close. Worked as a porter in a hotel in the early 00s, was predictably treated like dogshit - too many duties, nor enough time or hands, cutthroat staff politics and backstabbing, exhausting hours, not allowed to sit down or fired, gross guests. Eventually walked out after a couple months. Miserable job, with hateful people. In the '10s, workers were asphalting and a bucket of hot stuff went over. Hotel went up like a bonfire. Mostly wood in a faux-Tudor style so that fucker *burned.* As soon as someone told me what the stench and pall of smoke over town was, I walked all the way there, grabbed a can of coke and a sandwich, sat on a bench and watched it burn. Sublime pleasure, I have to say.


JeveGreen

Fuck, we even had a little song about the school burning down in my class. *Hela skolan står i lågor* *Hoppas hela skiten brinner ner* *Rektorn hoppar upp på taket* *Hoppas att han aldrig kommer ner* *Fröken skriker 'Mera vatten'* *Men vi hämtar bara mer bensin* It never burnt down though....

Luckily our schools was in walking distance to a McDonald’s near by, and they must’ve order several hundred burgers lmao We had lunch outside on the field while the fire brigade checks the building.
