Fediverse memes

I've got people praising my poorly drawn graphs, of all things. 5min stuff like this:

So yes, odds are they'll like your drawings better over mass produced AI slop.

Exactly. I'd taoe funny concept crudely drawn stick figures over AI slop

I’d rather see absolutely nothing instead of AI

In the beginning, people used simple programs like ms paint with a mouse to draw. I use my phone's editor to draw stuff. Have a cat

Yes

If it's funny enough, the art is secondary. If the at is perfect, the joke still needs to be at least passable.

Just because it's human made, doesn't mean it's automatically good.

Sometimes the bad art becomes its own part of the joke (xkcd).

Man, I suuuuck at drawing and painting. But (up until the last couple weeks I guess) I've been making and posting my shitty ass, MS Paintesque paintings and collages. Why?

Because you and I are humans and creative expression is our fucking right.

Because you don't get better at anything unless you keep doing it.

Because people, at least here, prefer a technically shitty artistic effort to a better looking image made by a insanely thirsty software architecture owned by greedy technocrats.

Because fuck it, we can.

Post those drawings homie.

I was a beginner until I tried this one weird trick: Draw an orgy scene with Sonichu, Shrek, Goku, and Spider-man.

You are welcome in advance.

You know why I hate it even more now?

Because unaware people have started using it to generate images of our loved ones, houses, etc.

I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING TRUST A PHOTO OF MY NEPHEWS ANYMORE.

I HATE that. If my friends, family and home aren't refuges against that AI shit, then what the fuck is?!

Same here. AI slop has turned me (and my brother) off of YouTube shorts. Like 80-90% of the content is AI, and you have to play detective for most of them (to find out it's AI generated) 

Admins can apply an AI tag to communities (including remote ones on Lemmy instances) and then all the posts in those communities automatically get the AI tag. Same as NSFW.

I haven't used it but I have seen piefed peeps talking about it being able to tag it as mods.

We're going to need a Butlerian jihad at the rate this is going.

Though exactly like NSFW/NSFL and bot posts (which people avoid so replying can feel like a honeypot experience where a conversation was invited but unlikely to be fruitful, since even the poster themselves will never read your message), it's not only the item itself but rather the lack of proper labeling. AI slop could arguably, theoretically, for some people (I'm trying to frame this so as to lessen the chances of being flamed here!) be enjoyable, but cannot be acceptable in the wider community unless properly labeled. This "restriction" enables us to be more fully free to have our own enjoyment of this shared space.

Edit: for context, I had not even gotten to the existing flame war down below your comment yet, but somehow I knew it was coming! The Threadiverse seems to love to hate on AI almost as much as Windows and tankies!:-P (and ironically all for the same underlying reason: because consent should matter, even/especially when others say differently)
