Don’t worry about that. Some people just made AI-hate their whole personality. They take pride in fact that they don’t understand these new tools and can’t use them. That’s a relatively new trend, but it’ll pass.
I just want “real” posts with human thought and intent behind them. Because what’s even the point of a social media of machine-generated content? The more you outsource to the machine, the less real it becomes. AI images look like shit as well, but that may eventually pass.
In this case, the captions are written too well to be designed by the statistics machine. So maybe it deserves less flak than for example that one slop comic a bit ago where the AI gave a glass of water a speech bubble. The hierarchy lines are still clearly hallucinated by the AI and not designed by a human.
can’t use them
Flipping this around so that it’s the AI bros who are doing something novel that others can’t is some galaxy-brained mental gymnastics gaslight move. Fucking anyone can ask the image generator to generate an image.

It’s being used to replace human workers by the exploitative wealthy, and it’s actively destroying the environment we live in. If you are not against “AI” (that is, generative machine learning models - there’s no intelligence involved) then you are colluding with the robber barons.
Unless you are training your models at home on your own private server, the current generation of ML models are dependent on the capitalist corporate model. They are trained on large datasets collected by corporate surveillance using server farms owned and operated by corporations, by developers paid by those corporations.
The capitalism and the “AI” are inextricably linked. If you use any of their apps you are patronizing them.
I’m actually not sure how to interpret this image in this context… are you implying that the argument over AI is part of the culture war distraction? or are you agreeing with me that AI is a tool of “they”?
It normalizes the use of genAI for even more things.
Today it’s just shitposts, where quality isn’t important.
Tomorrow it’ll be one off projects that their creator really wanted to be out, so quality won’t be important.
After tomorrow, it’ll be small group efforts becoming “solo endeavours” with lower quality artwork.
After that, it’ll be corporations within the creative fields that really want to lay off their workforce, even if it means lower quality work, because they can make up with the lower production costs and higher quantity.
And one day, we will wake up to a reality, where everything is AI generated slop, and we won’t be the “idea guys”, who write the prompts for them.
If you ask: not all other technologies were all good either. Cars made us dependent on them, forever restructuring our cities, atomizing our communities. Hell, some of the tools that made creative endeavors, such as home recording and easy to use game engines caused “the bedroom djent kid” and “fetishization of solo indie devs” problems respectively.
That reminds me of Putin’s argument on why a person who threw a plastic drinking glass at a policeman was arrested: “Today they throw plastic drinking glasses, tomorrow they’ll start throwing molotovs, then - killing people.”
Uh huh, and how many graphic artists lost their jobs because of this model (and others like it) being sold to companies as a way to produce marketing material without paying an artist?
And how many unnecessary pounds of carbon were pumped into the atmosphere because of this meme?
Wow, I destroyed your original argument, so you brought a new one without even acknowledging that you were wrong. It’s a brilliant way to never lose an argument.

I have no issue with using AI in research and problem solving where it actually exceeds humans. For meme making, OP could have at least made sure it draws an actual hierarchy instead of every node connected to every other node. Or at least fix it in Paint afterwards.
My standards would have accepted a doodle made in Paint. This is lower effort than that, for way more computational power wasted (which, in turn, means more energy and heat wasted).
But I enjoyed it

At least those people have a personality…
Are you implying that people who don’t like AI are akin to Luddites?
I just don’t like AI art.
That idea of that post is really cute, someone could have illustrated that and it could have been lush.
AI art is just an updated version of airbrush art you’d find on the rides at a fairground - it’s tacky.

That is caused by Capitalism, not AI.

Here is the answer for self-assessment:

zero

The irony in this is that autocrats really love generative AI, especially when it is used to dismantle democracy.
There is no irony. Autocrats use all available tools. They would use lemmy and fediverse too if it wasn’t too small to manipulate public opinion.

This post is bad and deserves 20 “ai slop” comments because somebody did something else somewhere else using a similar tool? Is that what you think?
You either object to the acceleration of exploitation and environmental destruction and refuse to participate in it, or you are a collaborator.
Wow, I destroyed your original argument, so you brought a new one without even acknowledging that you were wrong. It’s a brilliant way to never lose an argument.
Um, actually this is my original argument…
See my comment here: https://infosec.pub/post/28262077/15946745
This:
…is a restatement of that original expressed truth.
But… but… the children in the meme mines will go hungry tonight, you monster
Then copy the picture yourself
Lol, because it’s so hard
I hate AI because its stans are so fucking delusional I sometimes wonder if that’s the actual point of it.
Where do you find AI stans? I do find morons crying about AI under every other meme here though. You are the problem.
Are…are we abbreviating standards now? Why wasn’t I told!
“stan” means an obsessive fan, originating from an Eminem song
Thanks, friend

More importantly, let’s stop calling LLMs AI.
Dude. This is a Lemmy community for cats. Your standards might be a little excessive. 🤷♂️
