I have no idea what having sex with machines has to do with a straw man argument. Nor is there some way to use the term "straw man" colloquially that would make your usage correct.

It's... it's a double entendre. I was implying you are both arguing against a figurative strawman (which you are) and fucking a literal man made from straw. I'm not exactly writing Finnegans Wank here, but just in case you need them, the relevant definitions are below:

Straw man

The straw man fallacy (sometimes written as strawman) is the informal fallacy of refuting an argument different from the one actually under discussion, while not recognizing or acknowledging the distinction.

Your entire argument is posited on a strawman. Don't believe me? Here:

But you also can't just type, “Hey Grok, make me a 30-minute video recreating the entire Cell Saga,” and have a finished production magically appear. That's not how this works.

Now, I was willing to extend an assumption of hyperbolic exaggeration in order to illustrate your point - but apparently that's a courtesy I shouldn't take for granted. So in the spirit of illustrating my point, do you have any evidence that the literal idea 'you can type a single sentence into grok and get a full movie out' is at all a widespread misunderstanding of the technology?

... No? You were clearly being hyperbolic? Fancy that, who could have known (oh wait, me, I knew).

I explicitly stated that I knew it wasn't a literal example but that you were attempting to highlight a concept, then clarified that the conceptual argument you were presenting as being representative of the attitudes of the anti-AI crowd didn't reflect the actual attitudes of the group. That was why I said you were arguing with a strawman - your justification for why the joke is tired is not why people object to AI, nor is it a widespread misunderstanding that AI workflows still involve human effort (feel free to try and prove it is, though!). We can bin "colloquially", your argument is "definitionally" a strawman.

Please show on the mysteriously sticky straw-stuffed doll where I said that there were literally people demanding respect for their 3 minute slopfests (spoiler you can't, I didn't). You were the one that requested I demonstrate that was literally true, and now you're trying to, what, claim that because I didn't do that, I can't defend my argument? I uh... no. That's silly. You can't just demand people do something unrelated and then dismiss what they actually said when they don't do that.

Actually, hang on, what strawman do you think I made? My argument has been consistent throughout this. Are you just trying to gaslight in a strawman? That seems like a bad idea - straw is flammable! We could all die!

Honestly it seems like you are, because I have no earthly idea where you got the idea that I'm simply reluctant to "admit AI content is good" - no, I have seen no good outright AI content. As a tool it can be situationally useful, as the primary creative tool it is hilariously garbage.

Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You may not find that content interesting, and that's fine. But I would assume at this point that your inability to acknowledge when something is good or bad has more to do with the fact that AI was involved than with the actual quality of the work.

So! It is okay for our subjective tastes to differ, But! I must be basing my subjective opinion (that those channels you linked are the definition of ugly, vapid, no-effort slipitty slop) on the fact I just don't like AI, instead of an appreciation for nuance and creativity and that I've seen more inspired ideas on the walls of a kindergarten than in those channels you're so eager to hold up.

Yeah, sure, how magnanimous of you. Great point.

Why are you people like this on this platform? You literally cannot rebut what I actually said, and you cannot defend your own position, so you invent a different position that is easier to attack. Stop doing this. It is ridiculous.

Buddy just go back to reddit, you'll fit in way better with the community there if this is the level of BS you're trying to pass off.
