Can someone remake this without AI?

here is my very fancy colorized rendition made in ms paint

So much better, so much of a soul.

Now this is art, thank you!

This is AI? 😭

How long does it take to sketch this in paint?

Yes look at the pretty moth.

I honestly feel modern take on ADHD is just a label for people that don't fit into how society wants it.

Tens of thousands of years, we nurtured those that picked up on the butterfly. Those minds will always be critical to human survival. But it's only recently, incompatibility with the standard that causes need for more effort, "Well, they must be broken".

Nope. They never were. We just got real bad at bringing out the best in everyone. At this rate of classification down the path we're going, it'll be weird to not have ADHD.

No I think ADHD is just one of the many of those "conditions".

This reads like there's more people with ADHD than there were in earlier times (which we don't know).
Testing just got a lot better than it was

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yep, "classification".

The proportion will always be the same whether classified or not.

Actually I think there is way more people with mental issues now. I don't think it's just the testing. It's easy to spot them anyways.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's nothing to indicate that's true. If anything, the leaps in medical science have increased the likelihood of being born "normal".

It also means we have identified or created many "issues" and continue to increase how well they're diagnosed. Everyone's got multiple things now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No I still highly disagree. I have my own observations and I even asked people from multiple countries about this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Okay. Well the good thing about science is there's lots of correlation figures you can go check out at any time instead.

But there are some more simple ways to see it like how obviously no one was known to have ADHD before it was identified. And how more people have it as it's definition continues evolving to be more detailed and broad. That's normal behaviour for conditions in medical science. We must know of its existence before anyone can have it; more people tend to have it as our understanding of the thing improves by leaps and bounds.

I'd maybe agree if we'd be talking about depression or anxiety, which you can get during your lifetime, but ADHD (or autism) is just the way your brain is wired and can't be "healed" like some other mental illnesses

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

True, but that can definitely be influenced in utero. For all we know something like the microplastics we now all have in our bloodstream might cause the brains of fetuses to develop differently. Also there’s a genetic component. What if people with ADHD are currently more likely to have children now than a few decades ago.

I’d argue there’s many potential reasons why there might be more people with ADHD now. I’d be surprised if the rate is fairly constant. Not that that’s easy to measure due to changes in how we diagnose (as others have already pointed out).

I was talking about both healable and persistent "issues".
