Glorious handcrafted OC thank you 😭
AI images are the ultimate shitpost, absolutely no effort shit posts.
When the “generate AI response” button come that’s when shitposts hit the fan for sure.
Yeah but there are shitposts and shit posts
You still need some effort to start being able to use the AI
What effort? I can open gemini and type “give me a shitpost meme about being angry for something random, you pick” and get a picture. I don’t even have to think about what it would be. The part that requires the most effort is copy/pasting it here.
Does it not require you making an account?
There are plenty of tool for that. And, for that matter, “making an account” for gemini means having used gmail/youtube/anything vaguely google related in the last ten years. I’m pretty sure lazy people are already there.
But that would still mean there was some effort involved at some point, which is not enough for “no effort”
A text post would require less effort, but its still not 0
I paid my Internet bill last month, does that count as effort?
Yes
If you want to get the least effort possible for a post, you have to strategize. You cant just use the first thing you can think of
Plenty of free image generators do not, no
An other one is hotpot.ai
Serif top text.
Sans sarif bottom text.
You have brought a curse upon your house!
I should have kept the shutterstock logo
Throw an funny watermark at the bottom, for a more cursed look.
Oh my god, stop it. Meme shui isn’t real.
it’s more likely than you’d think
FREE MEME CHECK!
How can you tell it’s AI? By the pixels?
Most of the AI shitposts i see, or AI comics in general seem to have this really weird art style that you can kind of zero in on when you’ve seen it enough times. Personally I’ve been seeing it less since I’ve taken to just blocking the user who posts it.
Not AI but AI Slop. An AI image is created over time, fine tuning the prompt until it is perfect.
AI slop is just the first thing the ChatGPT image creation tool shows you. Perfect edges, a lot of mistakes, background that’s just jitter, a comic in that one specific style with the thick lines, that yellowish tint, the fur of animas looks too perfect all the way like the whole body is a macro shot.
After some time you kind of… feel AI generated images, audio, video and text. Bad use of LLMs has a pattern.
fine tuning the prompt until it is perfect.
hahahahahahahahaha
FYI. The increased energy use from social media contributes to a significant global carbon footprint, measured in terms of greenhouse gas emissions.
Each lemmy post guzzles 100 litres of water and 1.21 gigawatts of power in a datacentre.
You don’t say! I got lucky and got a nice 2nd hand RBMK-1000 at 3.2GW, so brownouts due to high speed shitposting should be a thing of the past.
MA! THE MODS MADE A BROWNOUT IN MY PANTS AGAIN!
Can we please have yet another discussion on whether or not it is ethical to use AI for generating memes?
It is not ethical.
Next!
This matter having been fully considered, the session is now adjourned and all are dismissed.
Yes it is.
Next!
I’m sorry, you appear to be attempting to appeal a final verdict from the court of public opinion.
I’m afraid there is no higher power to turn to.
Well articulated, FartMaster69.
I’m afraid there is no higher power to turn to.
I asked AI if it was true and it said you were wrong.
Damn, sorry you couldn’t have a thought of your own.
I asked AI and it told me that’s not an issue.
@grok is this true
They could, just wanted a second opinion.
You’re stupid!
Next!
Regardless of ethics, it’s just ugly and lazy.
Depends on what you’re using it to generate. Entire art styles out of thin air that were probably derived from someone’s real art? I’d say that’s an ethical dilemma.
Using AI to make the perfect cat-spider-hybrid? No artists were harmed, it’s just faster photoshop.
Hold on, lemme go ask chatGPT what I should think about this subject.
Totally ethical. It’s the best.
In a time when content is king. It makes me so angry that the left was manipulated and played into hating AI. Look at you all. You can’t even see it. Lemmy is so oblivious to it.
My fucking 68 year old trump supporting dad is using it daily to get numbers and sources and generate memes he finds funny to share.
You people are clutching your pearls because Lemmy had like 6 accounts that shared every single doom and gloom article they could all day every day for the past year.
Leftist are cooked.
I didn’t realize opinions on AI were a left/right thing.
What about opinions on salad? Only fascists would eat a Caesar?
I didn’t realize abortion was left/right thing why do these people make it so political
Just goes to my point how oblivious many of you are to any of this.
Why the right has captured and engaged so much more of the population than you have. The left are finished.
Well yeah that’s what always boggled my mind - oil drilling rights, abortion, taxes, these things don’t have anything to do with each other, but if someone has an opinion on one of them, you can pretty well guess their opinion on the rest.
I dunno though, Europe seems to be doing pretty well with regulations that go after big corporations and benefit everyday people. I think it’s just in America where “the left” is finished. If anything it’s such a disaster that it’s like a warning to the rest of the world. Trump’s election flipped the polls in Canada from right to… well not left, but not right either.
Good point about Canada. They flipped. Meaning the conservatives were in the lead by a lot. The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up. This is the same almost everywhere. The Lefts victory’s have not been because of their policy or engagement with the people. The left has been winning only when the right fuck up. Any other time the right has captured dominant positions in many key areas. Vice versa, the left are hobbling themselves at every turn while slowly dismantling themselves. I have no doubt Lemmy is targeted and manipulated by groups looking to convince the left to eat itself.
The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up.
You mean showing up.
But you’re right, the left has been infiltrated and manipulated to focus on minorities and identity politics instead of things that benefit everyone, like increased wages, corporate regulations, corporate taxes, worker’s rights. You don’t hear too much about those these days. Maybe because the media doesn’t talk about those lefties. Maybe it’s in the media’s interest to only show you what they want you to see.
Oh yes please bring politics into everything! It makes discussions so much enjoyable! Please tell me more about your political views and those of your family, it adds so much to this post!
Everything is political but you’ve been brainwashed into thinking only national government is political.
Yes, a lot of stuff is political but their AI loving dad being a fascist, or at least a supporter of fascists, is completely irrelevant regarding discussion about the ethical use of image generation. Same goes for the claim the left is done. It’s only and attempted ragebait and adds nothing. You can see it in so many places in the comments under various posts, which is annoying at times.
If you want to complain about irrelevance I’m fine with that. I was only arguing with you because you complained about politics. If that’s not your complaint anymore then I have no beef with you and wish you a pleasant week
So annoying when you jump in something already political to pretend you’re offended
now this is shitposting!
