No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I only ~~smoke~~ consume nicotine, water and food, cheers. I've heard of the trope but have never seen a contemporary example IRL or even not IRL if I think about it.
See my response to a similar question here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/15822412
I understand it's "common knowledge" but I've been questioning it for a while.
I'm happy to be proven wrong if you'd be willing, but so far I've not been and as such I'm not sure this trope has any resemblance to reality in the modern day.
It's called sample bias. You're only talking about the artists you've personally met, not the statistics of artists as a whole.
I also think you've got a bias in favor of tech bros because you see them as hard workers, and see artists as lazy elites.
And when I am talking about artists, I'm not talking about the small fraction that are in "high" arts with museums n shit.
It sounds to me that you you don't really know a lot of artists and don't really know a lot about this whole situation but still managed to form an opinion.
I know what sample bias is.
If you read my linked comment carefully, I'm not talking about just people I'd met IRL personally, I genuinely don't know of any actually struggling contemporary artbros.
Statistics lie, like I said, they may earn less on paper as a wage, but they are raking it in otherwise or have QoL far superior to even the top wagies, if they couldn't, they'd be working at a factory.
And did I mention or imply I meant anything of the sort? No by artbros I just meant (like in the linked comment) people who are professionally doing things like animating, drawing, 3D modeling/CGI, writing, film or music.
What relevance does this section of your comment pose? Is it just an attempt at strawmanning me as some ignoramus who thinks arts are just in museums or something? It's not very nice of you.
Prove me wrong then.
If that were the case I'd still know way more than you it seems.
Or do you have an actual counterpoint, like an example?
So you're saying you don't know of any financially struggling artists.
How exactly would you hear about an artist who isn't doing well financially but is so popular you'd hear about them? If you actually hung out in artist circles then you'd know a lot of artists like that, so yeah, I'm assuming you don't.
You said that if they appeared to not be making money they are essentially lying about it or going off to work in a factory.
So you're preventively arguing against any evidence to the contrary of the poor artist. As for the factory part, my brother in Christ, that's what most artists have to do. They work part time or full time jobs, sometimes multiple jobs, to supplement their income.
As for your definition of artbro, that's a myopic sliver of the art world as a whole, and I am dismissing your aren't to limit the conversation to just those people, because the topic is about generative ai which affects the WHOLE art community. Amateurs to full on professionals. In every branch of the arts.
I guess this is where the miscommunication has been happening, since I'm talking about artists as a whole and you're only talking about those which have gotten jobs in specific industries.
So I apologize, I thought you were coming from a more holistic, knowledgeable, informed, and experienced position than you were and shouldn't have put that upon you.
