Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

People always complain about AI slop, but the fact of the matter is, even a shitty AI produces better output than what the majority of people are capable of.
Only if you're not familiar with the act of producing what the AI is trying to emulate the production of.
Yeah, just try to get the average person to write an email that's legible, concise and to the point.
Any literate person can do that? Despite the public education systems best efforts to train us all in such a manner as to overly pad everything out with an excessive quantity of superfluous filler words, many of which add nothing to the information communicated and may even continue long after the point is made.
I have terrible news for you; people are not generally literate then.
If you've ever read an AI email, they aren't capable of that either. It's a meme at this point that people use AI to write an email, which becomes far too long, and the reader uses AI to make it shorter. AI does not do concise and to the point.
That majority of people that are worse than AI slop are also not producing anything, so we're not flooded with human slop. And when they do, we're supportive because you need to practice producing bad stuff before you can start producing good stuff.
If humans produced slop at the same rate as AI, I guarantee you that everyone will be complaining about it just the same.
Any person without training is infinitely better than an AI without training data.
A person without training data world be a blathering idiot. Any word you've ever heard, anything you've ever seen, smelled or otherwise perceived is data that was used to train the neural network in your head. And that's not counting the billions of years it took to hardwire the hardwired bits.
A human with no experience in the field is liable to recognise that fact and start asking questions, showing doubt and learning. That's infinitely better than spewing incorrect bullshit.
yeah but I don't hire those people
Your concept of human being is questionable.
What do you mean? Are you saying stupid people aren't real human beings?
I'm seriously questioning what you consider good, then. That's the reason people call it "slop". It's not good.
