Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It bugs me that it isn't quite centered vertically

[–] addie@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Could do with that as an SVG; I do like my pixels to look nice when I resize an image.

hmm, this looks photoshopped

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

That's because it is. An artist didn't draw this. A person created it with a photo editor.

At what point is "AI" help too much?

They probably used a stock octagon shape.

Literally the thing it's trying to point out.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Could lean even more heavily into it and make it more of a joke.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 37 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I’m partial to this one

I swear every time I see someone posting some opinion over an AI generated image. Even worse is when they use like Looney Toons or something similar.

[–] Cybersec@piefed.social 3 points 10 hours ago

Yeah I love that one.

dont need this. posting this as a response to any slop would be engagement, which is the goal if im not mistaken.

edit - having read the comments i can see i missed some obvious and valid use cases. carry on.

I'm sort of 50:50 on that one. Whilst it's a truism that controversy drives engagement, I think it's still a winnable fight to make it clear to platform owners that most people really do not like slop. It's not like when you platform fringe racist groups or something where nobody would have heard of them otherwise and they thrive on the oxygen of publicity.

Yes. Let this go viral. Everybody use it! Maybe one day a stop sign company will download the wrong image from the internet, find this, and some small town in Illinois will have "Slop" signs all over town.

.........I have no idea how stop signs are made.

…I have no idea how stop signs are made.

When a Yield sign and a Do Not Enter sign love each other very much, they do a special dance...

[–] deliriousdreams@fedia.io 1 points 6 hours ago

I think public works can just make them these days.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe the stop sign company will be an AI-first venture.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Slopsign.com is for sale. Just saying...https://www.afternic.com/forsale/slopsign.com?traffic_type=TDFS_DASLNC&traffic_id=daslnc

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Love the idea that stop signs are just printed PNG files. Also the concept of stop sign companies - doesn't the government maintain all your highways?

[–] bzLem0n@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Someone has to make the signs and each city isn't going to create their own, it'd be too costly to make them to the standards required. I know my city purchases them from ATS Traffic.

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Now i want to exchange one stop sign in some very rich area with this (realistically i will never do it)

[–] 20cello@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Made a WhatsApp sticker with that, thanks OP

it's the Slop Defender

maybe we should workshop that

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I may soon be forced in a not-constructive-discharge kind of way out of my current job. If so, I'll strongly consider setting this image as my profile image on my work accounts (work chat, wiki, Jira, etc) for the notice period.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Sorry that's happening to you! Best of luck.

[–] aaa@piefed.ca 6 points 13 hours ago

Hey, that’s really good! Props to the person who made it!
