"Artificially generating problems" is a good summary of the whole thing
New Yorkers should know whether the apartment they’re looking at is real.
That’s why we’re working to require apartment listings to clearly disclose when images and videos have been generated by AI.
Finding a home in New York is hard enough without artificially generating more problems.

Is That Fireplace Real or A.I.?
Listing sites are littered with homes with fake fireplaces, improved views and virtual landscaping, raising false advertising concerns.

i thought macklemore’s costume in 2014 was offensive and gross *and* i’m moved by his activism on behalf of palestinians and the way he’s using his platform to help those who are living/honor those who were slaughtered. for me, both of these things can be true.

if you’re cis, imagine if there were an ad campaign that said “people named [YOUR NAME] are pervert freaks who endanger our children. vote for us and we’ll make them all go away” and it appeared in every commercial break, sporting event, and newspaper. every day. for years. how would that feel?
I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you
i've seen this ad three times already today

The original version of this was posted on my FAisDM (felicitousArtisan is Darth Mongoose) Tumblr many years ago. I drew it at about 11pm right before going to bed, trying to express something I felt about art. When I woke up it kinda blew up.

I also know every group I work with that is making the world better is kept afloat by exhausted people who desperately need help.
