It’s AI slop
Show threadkorendianMar 13
It’s may be made with AI, but I’m not sure you can call it slop. It is an adaptation from an old anime, and people seem to very clearly understand the meaning/intention.

It doesn’t even look like AI to me, looks like a very simple edit.

Look at them side by side, the faces are completely different
Show threadusrtrvMar 14
Oh, you’re right. AI slop it is.
Show threadkorendianMar 14
What makes it slop exactly?
Show threadPapaStevesyMar 14
The nature of its creation.
Show threadkorendianMar 14
That’s pretty fucking vague. Would you care to elaborate. It seems someone made it for a very specific situation and it delivers the message well. It’s not like it some fantasy photo of a cat with three heads. It is a meme that people use to communicate an idea.

It seems someone made it

That’s where you’re wrong, and why it’s slop. No one made it, it was made by a computer program designed to plagiarize actual creators. It’s not like there’s AI slop and AI not-slop, it’s just slop all the way down.

Just curious though, AI aside, why would a fantasy photo of a cat with three heads somehow be less intrinsically valuable than whatever-the-fuck stupid reaction meme we’re currently taking about?

Oh, I see where the disconnect, you think all AI is inherently evil and useless, while I think it can have use and moral value. So no point in continuing this conversation since nothing I saw will penetrate your anti AI bias.

How do you know, you haven’t even tried? And you didn’t answer my other question which is unrelated to AI completely. How does a meme picture hold more value than a non-meme picture?

Tbf, I think AI could have a moral value, but in order to be worth it, that value has to outstrip all the bullshit that has come along with it. The moral value has to be more important than shareholder value, and that’s simply never going to happen. 🤷‍♂️
