I don’t care if it’s in a shitposting community, a meme community, or a news community. If the image or text is generated it should be labeled as such, and failing to label it should be grounds to remove the post. AI slop is a plague and its only going to get worse as the tech matures (if it hasn’t already peaked).

I’m so tired of having to call it out every time I see it, especially when people in the comments think it’s a photoshop work or (heavens help us) real. Human labor has real tangible value that plagiarism machines can’t even pretend to imitate and I’m sick of seeing that shit without it being labeled (so I can filter it out).

    If your process is to have a plagiarism machines output crap, and then you work on top of that, that’s your fucking choice. I wouldn’t do it, but to each their own.

      I took a digital photo of Musk off of Google and cut/pasted it onto a frame grab from Gone with the Wind.

      I hand crafted the plagiarism using plagiarism.

        This is it. AI is a tool just like anything else. Before AI people would complain that a photo was ‘shopped and before that it was that the models in magazines were airbrushed.

        All of these are tools that are at an artist’s fingertips and a good artist can do something great with if they put the time into it.

        Yes, lazy people can create crap with it if they want but you really can’t be blaming the tool for what stupid humans do with it.
