Also you know those boomers won't stop at the hundredth image, thus all the AI services will go broke.

I think you mean "justify bigger bonuses"

Bizarre AI-generated images are currently flooding Facebook, as engagement hacks and bots run rampant on the social media platform, spawning a meme-worthy image that has been dubbed “Shrimp Jesus.”

It’s actually working, many people around me that were enthusiastic about AI are now pissed off by it thanks to all that shit.

So if bots flood db0 with terrible AI generated spam, then the db0 admins will stop being weird about AI?

... I'm not asking for any particular reason

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

spam is spam. We'll deal with it like any other spam.

I think all AI art is spam

[–] [email protected] 61 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel like it usually minionizes anything it touches anyways, so that's a surprisingly good fit for it.

"Potato!"

Or something. IDK, I haven't watched the movies...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I remember finding it funny and endearing when I first watched it. And then it just... never... stopped...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think that was every normal person's experience with minions. They were funny as side characters in the film, but then the sequels and spinoffs leaned too heavily into them and the memes started and everyone with 2 braincells to rub together said "fuck this" and ignored the minion scurge to fester

This used to be a $1200 commission.

I like how you didn't use a single word more than necessary to communicate the question.

Aren't they doing this already? Seriously have any of you been on facebook. It's full of that crap.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly! The 'death' of facebook has in no way seemed to impact its influence on everything. I still find places that use a facebook page as their company website. The marketplace is inescapable if you want to buy or sell something used.

All this idea would do is establish a very well known area for AI to be used in... and it would serve the same function as a reservoir of infection for pathogens.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or even local municipalities publishing important adivice.

/hey did you know that they have to cut the water supply to work on these leaking pipes? /no /why not we put it on facebook /...

No i don't have facebook, O just wish people who used it understood this little fact of life. But no. They rely on facebook for local communication, essentially cutting out anyone else.

But that’s all bots generating clickbait right?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I like it.

It's the "Use your kid's slang to make them realize it's garbage" reverse card.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Totally works. When I started referring to things as "skibidi" it was suddenly dropped from my kids' lexicon.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (22 children)

Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor's samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.

As it is now, we're going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.

Copyright lawsuit incoming

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

We could start with posting memes in the meme community...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I dont know why it upsets people. Maybe accept that it exists in the world and it only mimics real human creativity.

If there was a fish that could mimic and recreate human art would you be mad at the fish?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

It's a plagarism machine that is being used to put actual artists out of work

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that's true. Humans are born knowing nothing, learn from other humans, and are then capable of making something new. Like standing on the shoulders of giants. I wonder if ML/AI is capable of that yet, or does it purely regurgitate others' work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

And if the fish did just the same, putting artists out of work, would you be just as mad that the fish exsisted?

Okay, so how do you make minion memes with it? I have no clue myself

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Popular and profitable things do way more damage no matter how "uncool" they are. Boomers making minion images will only worsen the problem.
