Help me figure out where the guns should go guys
AI slop aside I am seeing a band of black on the lower jaw lip into lighter color at the teeth. That’s not a Chinook salmon, that’s a Coho.
But an LLM ingested a website with pictures of both Coho and Chinook salmon on it so the weights in the algorithm are the same. This is why we can’t trust a single thing that comes out of these bullshit machines.
As an LLM is told to do. And then it was told to make a cartoon by a person who, like most people, can’t identify salmon species well enough to know if it is accurate.
An LLM is dumb, yes, we should all know that. But the people building and using them are too.
The lack of tandem rotors is offensive.
Inside and attached to meat puppets
Okay you see those shiny bits? They’re called scales. Remove all of them and replace each one with a new gun
Vote. Is this
A) a helifish B) a fishopter
This is slop.
this could’ve been an easy photoshop job, but nope AI slop
I even left the watermark in, not hiding that I generated this with craiyon. Did you have to do detective work to figure it out?
and you assume wveryone knows what that is? i had no idea what that little icon meant
The little stars are pretty much universal shorthand for generated images and video. For several years at this point.
You’re missing the point. Fuck AI.
I hate the oligarchbros that are pulling some financial stunts and fucking up the world. They’re not my friends. We don’t need all the datacenters these clowns are building, destroying the environment, because we were pretty appropriately sized before for shiz like inage generation.
The financial games will come to a head in some sort of financial catastrophe that will hurt everybody.
But the real secret is that this image generation shtuff and text generation stuff is just computer code that we’ll still be using years from now, like one uses a hash to verify the contents of a file or a dht.
I run models on my macbook in my bathroom, using only 55 watts max on the gpu there. That’s what “AI” is. Just some code and shit.
What the assholes are doing in the big companies is fraud, abusing people, beeaking laws, etc. None of that is necessary. This is entirely the choice of some weirdos that think they can build a god cos they have a cluster of mental illnesses. This is what everybody is reacting to. Stealing intelectual property, building datacenters where people don’t want them, polluting the environment: these are all choices that the people building the companies have made. Many of them intentionally make cruel choices.
That’s not what I did. I asked for a picture of a fish with a rotor cos I have had this idea in my head and I have thought this is the funniest thing. I am not advocating for the jerks that are destroying the planet.
I saw the watermark and I decided to leave it in, so that nobody could be confused as to the provenance of the thing. My photoshop/gimp days on somethingawful are long past me, and I just wanted to make a quick joke.
I feel anger, like you do, towards the thing that the jerks are doing with money and computers. I’ve gone out to protest against the capture of our state by assholes with money. My anger is pointed at the people.
See? You managed to take “My plagiarism machine produces only the most ethical slop because it runs on a Macbook” and blow it out to 8 paragraphs presumably without using AI to write it for you. The creative energy was within you all along.
So I gotta make effort to entertain you? Why? You’re not paying me.
By your own admission you’re creating content with little to no effort using AI? I think there’s a word for that.
The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
You didn’t read any of that - you just sneered harder than the first guy. Most of y’all do not seem to care which complaints you pick, except for where they point toward. They are not addressable. They are pretense.
That’s why grabbing whole photographs off Google Images and slapping them together in Photoshop is lauded as good-old-days shitposting, but you still posture about “plagiarism.”
I know we already lost both of y’all to the psychosis but for what it’s worth I hope some day you realize making those pictures by hand is both a personalized and transformative expression of yourself and your skills as a human being, even when shitposting – while the AI route is just gambling at the slop-machine illegally trained on all of human creation until it produces the right thing you (or rather OP) admit to not even caring about.
Shitposts being deep expressions of the soul, apparently. News to me after several Photoshop Phridays selected my hard work of maybe half an hour. News also to the photographers whose images I stole and illegally combined. Images picked from the few relevant examples, when I’d search for a specific reference and cross my fingers.
These contradictions don’t phase you. You’re not listening. Any disagreement gets labeled as brain damage, and then the same complaints get parroted anew. As if people who pirated Photoshop will be swayed by copyright law.
My guy: the personalized aspect of a gag image for strangers is the quality of the idea, not the tedious skill of rotoscoping low-quality inputs. Effort can be part of the joke, but there’s entire subcultures for text over stolen frames from Spongebob. Now eight gigs of linear algebra will let your computer render bespoke images on command. In what reality will people politely abandon that and pretend it never happened?
Would a model trained only on licensed work change how you talk about this, at all?
Okay, calm down now. I’m not reading a wall of slop justification unless it includes the words, “I am physically incapable of putting a picture of a fish over a helicopter”.
This is abusive trolling.
No it’s not, c’mon.
‘I didn’t read that, you’re just lazy, slop slop slop ha ha.’
Yes it fucking is. What you’re doing is shitty and you need to be better. You can’t claim to care oh-so-deeply about true human effort, then brush aside when someone tries explaining their position on the issue you hassled them about.
We goons seem distinctly realistic about this tech, because we did this shit the hard way, and that was much closer to theft. The shrill insistence ‘it’s only combining images!’ has to be met with (1) nah we know what looks like and it’s never this clean or bespoke, and (2) the alternative is literally combining images. Those photos of an elephant hunt, Ted Nugent, and Snuffleupagus had identifiable authorship, and their union involved neither permission not attribution.
What bugs me most is people asserting, ‘models don’t understand what they’re showing.’ They don’t have to? The user understands those concepts, which is why they asked for them. A human being is using the tool’s ability to show those things to express an idea. Even if that idea is really really stupid.
You need a defense from a SAM man.
