A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Kind of agree. Rather like the same way you can not say you are an engineer or that you engineered a certain product design. It is protected.

That being said, what if an AI made something then you changed one pixel? Or as likely will be common someday, an AI helps you with your artistic work by anticipating your reactions or desires. Ie. You ask it for various recommendations or examples on shades of red while you paint a picture.

Point being at what point is it entirely human generated when AI will be implemented into nearly every aspect of our life?

I'm kind of like how many things that are made in the USA are more accurately described as being "partially assembled in the USA", by the way a product can say that it is for instance, "made with 100% beef" while actually containing many non beef products, since that can be more accurately specified as "100% of the beef in this product is made with 100% beef"

100 percent beef rarely computes. Technically adding and salt now makes it less than 100 percent. We certainly want to know when it is 50 percent soy meal but if you allow other ingredients to be ignored, than the guys that add soy also want to embellish. Like you said, only 100 percent of the beef is 100 percent beef.
