I'd prefer 2008 rage comics to ai slop.
The cultural context of AI is an anathema to humor.

I concur. No AI, it's already messing up c/liminalspaces, for example. Real photos (which is the object of the sublemmy) are confused for pretty renderings, makes my teeth itch.
Fuck slop
Yes please make a rule against it. Ignore this dogwhistle BS in the other comment. AI content is actively destroying our human existence. I'd much prefer to have as many AI-free spaces as possible
Yes! Please ban the Ai slop.
Give Ai their own community to use and let’s filter out the slop from real human engagement and the effort artists put into their work.
I am in favour of not permitting AI content in this community, but we should at least have a spot for them to direct the post to. Something like /C/aifunny
/C/notfunny
Fuck AI
If you allow AI posts then why not AI comments? I really dislike having to type out an original comment so I think I'll use AI to come up with something to say! Some people are good at writing, but not me! I don't have talent when it comes to writing comments (no, I'm not going to practice!)
In fact, everyone should use AI! Then this community could have thousands of posts a day with hundreds of comments each and no actual person will be involved in any of it! It would be the perfect community!
lol I debated writing "I need AI to fuck my wife!" in my original comment. I love this response so much! Why do so many people want to automate the stuff that makes us human? Automate assembly lines, not essays and art!
Exactly. Another relevant meme I saw one time went something like, "AI should be doing my laundry so I can draw, not drawing so I can do my laundry."
I have seen users who have difficulty distinguishing a.i. content. Instead of my opinion on a.i. itself, I say help your fellow others. Increase awareness. If you must use a.i. content, or spot it in the wild, or see something is ripping-off someone's work... Label it, hashtag it, 🚩it, mentioning "edit your post description", etc.
Many of these communities have already been ruined by AI. It seems most of the mods are useless fucks. Hopefully the mods here actually give a shit but i doubt it. Rip Lemmy.
While I fully agree with the sentiment, I don't know how you could actually implement it. How do you identify something as AI? I understand that many people "know it when they see it", but how do you quantify and implement the rule so that it doesn't just become another way to abuse posts.
I give it another year or so till you literally can't tell them apart from real pictures anymore.
To ban Ai posts, you would have to mandate linking the artist or source of the image, and removing any meme without one.

That will never happen because of how AI works. They will continue to be harder to spot as they address the easy tells, but the way AI functions there will always be small giveaways.
I'm terminally online, actively despise AI, and even I can't tell with any certainty when it's a "drawn", "painted" or abstract image.
Try it:

Besides, I don't scrutinize the details in every image I see.
Yes, drawn and stylized hide the primary issues with AI and are the easiest to miss without paying attention. I thought by real pictures you mean photographs.
You got 37 right out of 50. That's 74%, which puts you at the 94th percentile of the 11,061 people who took the test.
The only one I regret getting wrong is the bottom right dragon and tiefling one which is one of the few I've seen where the reflection doesn't give it away. Wonder how many attempts it took to get it right.
I figured the top left one was hiding the hands, but then again people do that too. But the funniest one from the whole list is actually the Greek Temple, which I didn't notice the text in but in the bottom right there are the only two gray figures who look like US founding fathers. This one cracked me up tbh, and I regret nothing.
There's no humor element to that site though.
And hoardes of Lemmings will accuse everything of being A.I. all the time.
Every piece of art must be accompanied with a time lapse showing its production.
Eh. I disagree with both other commenters. It's fine to use AI in your process, but the author's voice is important. AI slop in and of itself lacks the context of the human experience to really understand humor. But it can come up with an idea that a human can improve on.
Up and down voting is the right solution here rather than banning. AI slop will get downvoted to oblivion, And even good AI content will be skewed more negatively than completely human art.
That all being said, if mods want to ban it based on preference go ahead and someone will likely just create a board where it's allowed, and people can self-select what communities they want to be a part of.
