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).

          Yup, I know it is impractical, not only that but because it is a digital recreation it will never be a completely truthful representation of anything. It was the same for film but the changes were understood and accepted. Doctored/manipulated images though were expected to be identified as such, for the most part.

                  Someone could photoshop an image to add things that arent actually there. In that case, it shouldnt be hidden that the image isnt real. A filter isnt a major enough change for a tag

                    Dude, you seem to have missed the original point of the comment. It was sarcasm, and the point was that AI is just the next technological step after photoshop. We had the same discussions decades ago when photoshop was new, with all the purists complaining how photoshop was a horrible technology that would put photographers out of business, they were ‘soulless’, etc. Now we’re rehashing all the same old stupid and tired arguments, but with AI instead of photoshop.

        People who don’t use photoshop forget it’s used for:

        1. Editing and colour-correcting images.
        2. Graphic Design and digital painting.
        3. Straight up drawing.

        I’m not saying it’s the most practical software for those applications but it’s a primary tool for many photographers and artists.
