Comics Community (OC) AI 'art' and the future

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

Again, you assume time is linear. You've seemingly baked in certain cause and effect into the definition of time. Again. Hume. Causality as a matter of human perception. Do you witness one thing cause another or do you witness one thing and then another and your brain creates the causation?

But that's not good enough, imo. So:

In another logic string:

If you assume that the very appearance of the time machine creates a paradox, then may it not be that very paradox which enables one to visit a future which is not to have been if you had not entered the time machine? We've already entered into the realm of paradox, so why then ontologically limit ourselves beneath the logical parameters very paradox we have already created? Once the time barrier is broken, name for me the reason its river only flows forward.

I mean, the point of my comment was to try and logic our way out of the paradox, not jump further into it. Taking that attitude with time is liable to cause a rift in the timeline, or even erase the timeline entirely, I'll have you know

All fine points. My counter: if the rift in the timeline is predetermined then wouldn't it have already happened? Hence, what harm could it cause to dive further? Hell, what danger could we risk if we don't???
