Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If AI slop isn't labeled, it should be removed (lemmy.world)

I don't care if it's in a shitposting community, a meme community, or a news community. If the image or text is generated it should be labeled as such, and failing to label it should be grounds to remove the post. AI slop is a plague and its only going to get worse as the tech matures (if it hasn't already peaked).

I'm so tired of having to call it out every time I see it, especially when people in the comments think it's a photoshop work or (heavens help us) real. Human labor has real tangible value that plagiarism machines can't even pretend to imitate and I'm sick of seeing that shit without it being labeled (so I can filter it out).

I took a digital photo of Musk off of Google and cut/pasted it onto a frame grab from Gone with the Wind.

I hand crafted the plagiarism using plagiarism.

This is it. AI is a tool just like anything else. Before AI people would complain that a photo was ‘shopped and before that it was that the models in magazines were airbrushed.

All of these are tools that are at an artist’s fingertips and a good artist can do something great with if they put the time into it.

Yes, lazy people can create crap with it if they want but you really can’t be blaming the tool for what stupid humans do with it.
