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).
Nobody claimed it does, so again: read the context of the discussion
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.
If something that was made relatively effortlessly is possible to be confused with something made with effort, it should be marked
I suggested banning AI from communities that arent made for AI because it requires so little effort and its so easy to mass-produce, that it could flood a community
See my point? Replace ‘AI’ with photoshop and your exact argument could have come from 2 decades ago.
Could it? I dont think you can mass produce photoshopped images and its much harder to pretend you put effort into something when you didnt (thats why i put relatively)
Even if you could mass produce them and it was easier to fake effort, is anyone doing that? There are people doing those things with AI
Photoshop is magnitudes of effort less than pre-photoshop technology. The amount of images you can churn out quickly with photoshop is certainly mass production when compared with what you can get done without photoshop, for much less effort.
Is anyone photoshopping images? Hell yes. Do you think we just invented fake images?
By “that”, i meant mass producing images and making it hard to tell if it was done the hard way or the easy way (while peoplw assuming it was done the hard way)
People dont automatically assume a picture is made by AI the same way they would assume a picture is photoshopped if it was clearly faked
A future where images are all assumed to be made with AI is hopefully obviously bad
No, because the common sense assumption at this point is that everything is done with photoshop or similar technology.
They will in a few years. We’ve been through this whole cycle, is my point. The technology is here to stay, and we’re gonna have to adapt to it. No amount of complaining will change it.
Why so?
