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).
Dammit, I hated down voting this because I agree wholeheartedly.
But this is a common sentiment, it just isn’t getting reported about as heavily as all the advertising disguised as reporting. Even outside of lemmy, people are bitching about exactly this. Not just online either, and not just tech minded people.
