I ABHOR how normalised AI has become on platforms around the World Wide Web

It's lazy and a ultimatumon effort and autodidatic capacity.

You are actively resorting to waste hydropower energy and drag us into potential water shortage pandemonium just to lobotomized what could've been a perfectly good joke.

This is one of the online exertions that treasonous vermin Trump wants you to enact to entail his horrible totalitarian deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions .

Stop appeasing to that oligarch genocide funding clown and his immoral calavry of fascist oppressors who operates utilities that are primarily made to pollute our ecosystem and increase climate change and ocean levels raising.

If I ever see another shitty No-effort AI Picture like this again, I will actively and violently scratch out my eyes with a rusty garden weasel wrapped in mint condition barbed wire and sandpaper the wounded sockets shut so I could never see slop take control of meme subculture.

Is it that sophisticated to edit Trump's head over a keyboardist's anatomy?

Your writing is shit, buddy.

At least it isn't AI.

I'll take irritation fueled spelling error littered rants over a succinct, correctly parsed AI slop response any day of the week

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

How can you tell? It might very well be considering how many fancy words were used there. Nothing about that reads as not-AI.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

One of my fellow journalists writes like this. We have to tone it down for publication. A lot.

Maybe use an LLM to clean it up

[–] kingofras@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

Ouch. The stupid thing is that this existed 4 years ago too. This doesn’t have to be anything AI. We’ve been photoshopping since the printing press was a thing.

What a misplaced post to rant about a tech that may have nothing to do with the picture.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Then they will be yelled at for that. There’s no winning for someone like them. And someone else in the thread still said it looks like AI as it is.

It’s like Joey with a thesaurus.

I can't tell if it's a joke, it's so comical.

As with pollution, the biggest contributers are not the individual consumers.

No, your AI prompts aren’t causing an energy crisis

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They still contribute by counting as usage to help justify more datacenters for training.

[–] Thwompthwomp@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Even just cloud storage uses a surprising amount of energy. I’ve my students calculate a price per rick roll just to start seeing that there are actual energy costs and usage associated with things like google search, storing a cloud file, etc. I forget the paradox name, but we’ve made storing files and the cloud (that is, using other people’s computers) so easy and efficient that we are now using even more energy.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

calculate a price per rick roll

So... how much is it? It must be significantly more than a goatse.

Views on AI have nothing to do with left or right. It's actually split right down the middle on both sides.

[–] Kushan@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

But the left wouldn't be the left if we weren't fucking fighting each other all the time instead of the right.

[–] DigDoug@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The ironic thing is that this post reads like it was written by an AI trained on only thesauruses.

Honestly, just take a generic picture of any band and just use paint or gimp to slap their faces on. Hell doesn't even have to be good

Jesus christ that text post was mildly infuriating. Please slow down and use words you both know how to spell and how to use in a sentence.

kthx.

Bro, this would just be the top spot in photoshop battles. A skillset that used to be really really accessible is now no longer even fun because well-done results will be considered gen AI.

Also, your writing seems like an AI prompt that says: be outraged at AI, make every mistake.

So it’s still about the leftists ???

Correct me please but when we have an AI pic with Trump and Netanyahu it’s still about the leftists?

Whoever made that could have easily done it with basic photo editing skills instead of AI. Even if it didn't turn out great, it would still show that a person cared enough to try doing it themselves.

Make your own version and post it in the comments.

Honestly there are bigger fish to fry, and the world isn't black and white.

Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire.

I'm sure theres a few other idiom's I'm not thinking of.

A bad photoshop or paint would do the trick too. Abd arguably it would be funnier too

Can we also talk about how his #1 song is promoting heterosexuality? More than 80 % of children who heard Shape of You in the 2010s now identify as heterosexual, and it continues to air on the radio and show up on streaming services without as much as a content warning. What the fuck?

I liked the imagery of you scratching your eyes out.

Don't mind the people shitting on your writing! It's fine.

Also, I wonder about this. I don't like using GenAI for a few reasons, one of them is the environmental impact, but it's by no means the biggest. Not even close. It really is barely a reason at all.

It's a tool... I think it's immorally constructed and mostly in bad taste, but the environment is really a much deeper failure than the individual, I think. I don't think campaigning against people using something mindlessly, ignorantly perhaps, blithely even, does much good, when you could spend that time convincing them that the big stuff, and there's big stuff like data centers if we wanna just stick to AI, should be banned or regulated to oblivion.

"Don't use GenAI" is fine, but "Data centers suck" results in the same thing and doesn't attack the individual for some perceived moral failing for doing something innocuous while surrounded by terrible shit.

Hopefully you get what I'm getting at!

mint condition barbed wire

Mint condition is probably the worst condition to be using barbed wire in the given circumstances. You have weasels ripping your flesh and shiny new barbed wire? What you're setting yourself up for is a case of rabies and for some reason leaving out the lockjaw you can get from rusty barbed wire. So you'll have a case of the rabies and not have a case of lockjaw to stop you from biting your friends.

Someone somewhere used a computer to do computer things. Boohoo 🎻
