You saw one of my memes, and reposted it. That’s alright: credit would’ve been nice, but it isn’t required.
But then, you have the audacity to remove the watermark, and modify it using so-called “generative artificial intelligence”? And to top it all off, you insult me and my opinion?
What do you have to say for yourself?
edit: just noticed my post has over double the amount of upvotes, so… :3
My sense of meme culture, and I admit I could be wrong, is that it’s a praise full compliment when someone uses another’s meme format and modifies it. I was sort of startled when you claimed ownership. I thought wow: I did not know that dude was the originator. So. good on you. I honestly don’t come to Lemmy to piss anyone off. I’m not here to compete. Just play and participate a little.
I’m do regret employing AI — I’m here because I want to move the entire internet back to 1999. So… it was a move in violation of my own principals… but I’ve been listening to Gerry Rafferty a lot and I’m nostalgic for the 70s and so I added my two cents.
Surely did not mean to bug.
Eh, it’s fine, I guess. It’s not really my image, legally speaking. AI just really upsets me, and I do anything and everything I can to fight it.
For your sake, and the sakes of those who see your memes, maybe edit images with Microsoft Paint or something next time? That’d certainly give it 1999 interweb vibes.
p.s. i’m not a dude <3
complains about AI
uses AI to make this meme
that’s because he “borrowed” my meme and edited it with ai smh
We live in a crazy world now and you have put your finger on the pulse of it. We have to resist… and learn to use the tools we resist against the systems that force us to use them.
You really don’t NEED to learn how to make ai generated memes. I highly doubt your job is forcing you to use AI to make memes.
You’d honestly be surprised.
Listen, when we steal time travel from the clankers and use it to come back in time and stop them, you’ll have a point.
Right now, not so much.
I love the word clankers and I think you are awesome.
> using AI to make this meme
he didn’t even make it! he just edited my meme!
Come the fuck on, is the last panel really AI?
Come to Lemmy we have:
Anti-Ai Ai generated memes.
Ultra-conservative leftism (Soviet Union was amazing actually)
Anti-bot post (reposted from Reddit by bots).
yeah, he stole my meme, too
Yep, thats what originally got me ticked
i wouldn’t even mind the lack of credit, but the ai edit thing is just too far for me
Ugh, yes it is…
Three thumbs up!
On one hand!
Currently at 160 upvotes and 20 downvotes. Most people simply cannot tell. We are so cooked.
I disagree, I think most people simply don’t care.
at least the original got more upvotes :3
I upvoted yours :p
waow! thanks :3
ur very based <3
My guess is it’s because most just look at the face which is mostly unchanged, then there is the people who actually can’t distinguish it and who just upvoted for the opinion
Okay.
Top 500 songs from the 1970s
Oops, all Cher
now now, i’m certain there was some Yoko Ono in there too
50% Sonny. He didn’t leave Cher for a tree until much later in his career.
Also, very heavily influenced by corporate interests, money, and disco towards the end.
If there’s a service that can actually distinguish between the different types of metal, please point me to it!
Trying to get a stream of symphonic metal will always do one of two things: “Here, have the entire library of these three bands!” or “Oh you like metal? Here’s the most gutteral death metal we could find! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!”
It’s such a tiny genre… I want more Q_Q
I struggle with finding rap rock and rap metal like seriously, it’s impossible because all algorithms will end up suggesting either normal rap or directly metal and rock 💔
Nope. For metal the suggestions are like you said. Either generic or limited. I usually just look up “more bands like x” and use the results. Usually a mix of last.fm + reddit + other sites. Another thing I’d do is use rateyourmusic and browse by genre. For Symphonic metal, for example. Sometimes there’s genre specific sites. Like the progarchives where I go as well from time to time. Oh, many subreddits also have discord servers so maybe look into that as well.
I like lastFM as it tells you artists similar to those you enjoy.
Listenbrainz is nice too
And it also does that based on other listeners.
Qobuz is quite good for discovery too. I like hearing a good album then checking out the record label because usually indie labels sign similar artists.
For me its following the top 10 most downloaded albums of the day, week, month from private torrent trackers! They normally know whats up. I tried spotify years ago and was very hit or miss on what it threw at me and didnt care for it. It almost felt like some of the suggestions were there for reasons other than it’s good and that annoyed me.
This makes sense.
I’d take ai suggestions if they actually read the music and based it off of that and not same vague genres and other people’s playlists
Pandora did that manually, great for its time but hard to sell to people who just want on demand nowadays.
it could take forever for areal person to hit some of the smaller bands and match them up, we should have the technology to really help fans find new music easy now days but it feels like it’s misdirected
Equally fogey-assed dude says:
Every decade, up to and including the one currently in progress, has tons of fantastic music being made by creative, innovative artists. I enjoy the music that I used to love in the 1970’s every bit as much as I love that new album just dropped this week from some guy who was a fetus when I was in grad school. I will always encourage my fellow fogey-asses to find something brand new to add to their playlists.
Link to something I’ll love, fellow fogey. Something from 2026?
I don’t know what you’ll love. I don’t know you and I don’t know your taste in music. I could drop a bunch of artists that got my attention this year but I don’t know that you’ll like any of it.
You found your way to Lemmy, I trust you have the knowledge and expertise to find your way to new music. To paraphrase you, perhaps a brand new top 500 of the 2020’s might be constructed by a certain OP with the patience to explore.
I’ll start at the top and work down.
Song 5 by Interpol
Thank you for the song. I was following Interpol in the early 2000s. I remember thinking I was still cool. I greatly appreciate this song and I hope they are still at it. This instrumental is exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you!
Hell ya brother
Thoughtful, crystal clear clarity. A song that begs you to go along for the ride and takes you to satisfaction.
