Please put an AI tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously proselytizing. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men squealing “SLOP” together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post AI.
FCK AI memes.
With how good most AI image generation is nowadays I always wonder where people generate these dogshit quality images.
Most of the time it’s not the most creative people trying to generate these. I think everything I’ve ever seen from the Twitter generator can be categorically ruled as textbook slop.
Most of the interesting generations are made by people who are enthusiastic about the technology, almost always running local generators, trying to nudge the model into generating images that people are not likely to make themselves. It can be a fun thing to experiment with, especially once you understand a bit more about the internal iterative process of these generators.
As a fun toy, as the ultimate content aware fill algorithm, it’s one thing. As a social phenomenon though, these generators have poisoned the internet and our relationship with visual media as a whole. I’ll watch as my scribbles are iterated into something visually interesting and then minutes later see the IDF on the news posting about terrorizing my country in a sterile cutesy cartoon style - my temporary jpegs are nothing like the latter.
Shit, what’s he care? He’s richer than god and she makes him happy. He will set her up for life and enjoy it.
Sancho!
