Hey, thanks I learned something (I think). Computer shit isn’t my area of nerdery, but from what I gather AI images gets stamped with invisible water marks and you can detect these with software (rather than AI) if that software knows what the watermark is (which is kept secret by the AI provider)

I tried but it didn’t work. Kept getting hung up when I tired to sign in.

Also doesn’t using AI to detect AI defeat the purpose of screening for AI?

Is it though? It looks like shop to me. Look at the neck/body connection

everyone on Lemmy proceeds to take it seriously, like they do with all memes

It’s a shitpost, sir.

Wait, we are supposed to write them?

I did my M.Sc there, and lived there for 3 years, so i am allowed to shit on the province too lol.

It’s pretty in its own right, and the small towns can have their own charm, but it’s not for everyone.

Or the netherlands, depending on what angle you view it from

Usually the jokes are about Saskatchewan, but Manitoba is substantially flatter. Much of Manitoba was the lakebed of glacial lake Agassiz - the largest lake to have existed in north america, and about 50 times the size of Missoula. When the ice dams broke, Lake Agassiz dumped so much fresh water into the North Atlantic that it disrupted global ocean currents, triggering a period of rapid global cooling known as the Younger Dryas.

Fun fact, if look up Niverville MB on the map (just outside of Winnipeg) you can see iceberg scours still present on the landscape - this is where icebergs scraped the bottom of the lake.

I had a shirt that sead this

Honestly one of my favourite memes. I riff on it a lot

I’m getting a Saskatchewan vibe out of this one, honestly. Manitoba is stupidly flat, for the most part. The background here looks the toe of a hummock.

To make more snails

the fact that the threshold for slop/not slop detection is primarily based on how recently the image was created is discouraging.

I get your point, and honestly, it’s a fair one. I’m not pro slop, and I state that above.

By inundating the web with slop, AI proponents have made it really hard to post/share stuff that’s not slop.

I am, however, a shtiposter. I’ve got 4500 posts over 3.3 years. I’m simply not going to verify everything I post isnt AI. As I said, I do check usually, but theres a lack of tools to do so, and the ones that are out there that I’ve found are checks notes AI, which defeats the purpose. If you have good tools, paste them here and I’ll start using them. I’m not going on a fucking Goose hunt each time I share a meme, though.

Finally someone who gets it

I try to avoid it, and do some checks where I can’t but some stuff still trickles through given how much I post.

While I agree with your stance in the broadest terms, I think you’re fighting a losing battle, just given how fast slop can be turned out and how wide spread it is already.

Remember, everything we see on the Internet is totally true. If we find out otherwise, we need to shout it from the mountaintops rather than just rolling out eyes and moving on

I appreciate it, but I’m honestly sick of the slop police.

I don’t like the idea of being tricked by AI either, nor the impact AI has on the environment, but I the slop police everywhere, and don’t add much to the conversation. The whole thing is generally tiring.

Pointing out ‘hey bro, this is AI’ and still discussing the post would be a better approach in my book. Not all doctored images are slop either - Photoshop exists and was how shitposts were made for a really long time. We still discussed those posts, and how silly they were.

That’s true.

I have three pretty much dead communities I made which seemed like good ideas at the time but are just way too niche and I have way too little time to promote them. I’m subscribed to a pile of communities that are dead as well
