AI slop
- I swear, AI has put some people into some kind of looping thinking 24/7. Doesn't matter what the image is, if it's relatable or not, if it's made by a computer then it's bad. It could be an AI generated image containing complete, working instructions for making the cure for cancer, but it's bad because it's AI, because "AI is bad because AI is bad because AI is bad because AI is bad because-"
  
  idk if this image is AI (i cannot tell), but AI image generators are, currently, unethical.
  personally i don't have a problem with the idea of AI image generation, I have a problem with companies taking artists' images without them opting in to it, then attempting to "replace" artists with an algorithm that's trained on stolen work. I also have a problem with the technology's environmental impacts. i think this is a common sentiment.
  edit: on further analysis, i'm around 70% sure this is AI-generated, due to the TVs looking the same while having a different art style, and due to the strange facial expression in the 2nd panel. also, in the 2nd panel, it would make more sense artistically for the character to be lying down while thinking that, showing that it can look the same on the outside.
  
  It's politicized.
  It even works in hindsight. I pointed out some cherished fan remaster of a TV show made years ago was machine learning processed, which apparently everyone forgot. I got banned from the fandom subreddit for the no AI rule.
  The ironic thing is this works in corpo AI slop's favor, as anti-AI sentiment hurt locally runnable, open weight models and earnest efforts more than anything.
  
  Yeah seriously it's so fucking annoying. I wish Lemmy would just shut the fuck up about AI already. The AI haters are more annoying than the tankies.
  
  containing complete, working instructions for making the cure for cancer
  Did it contain it once? Or did it ever contained exclusively mindless slop mangled together from bits of stolen art, carefuly put together to be simultaneously as unsettling, as unappealing, and as insultingly bland as possible?
  You out there defending shrimp Jesuses as if there is any merit in copypasting it ever. You had to invent a scenario that never happened and can't possibly happen, to paint us as unreasonable, meanwhile all that "your side" produces is exclusively derivative slop that costs precious resources to make while removing value from the world.
  It's not that we hate on perfectly good images because it's made by computer, we hate on offensively terrible images flooding our world. The fact that you can shortcut it to just hating generators is our point actually
- Are we seriously valuing this comic based on the quality of the drawings rather than the idea they convey?
  IMHO this is all about the idea/text, which doesn't look like AI slop to me.
  
  Yes.
  Find a fitting meme template or create a new one. You don't need amazing photoshop skills. Or share your idea and let someone else do it.
  Don't waste electricity and water, or legitimize generative AI to get your point across.
  AI is distasteful to artists, disrespectful to our environment, and dangerous for the creativity of future generations.
  
  Apparently so.
  Slop means shitty and disingenuous to me, which is not this comic. Frankly, it hits me hard.
- I feel like these posts that just say "ai slop" ironically could just be... ai slop.
  
  I think the fact that you cannot tell if I'm real already demonstrates why we shouldn't normalize posting AI-content unless it's clearly labelled.
  But to put your mind at ease, could I maybe link you some furry porn to prove I'm real?
- Very sloppy indeed. I'd much rather look at hand-painted ms-paint than this right-winger-abused gen style.
  Rage comic-style > gen slop.
- Useless comment.

Sometimes my brain feels like a child throwing a tantrum, stomping their feet and screaming "I don't want to do it" and I'm the tired, powerless parent, trying to find ways to stop the tantrum and circumvent the issue.

Yeah I'm currently in that loop with a paper due in four days. Last time I worked on it I just got zero dopamine and now my brain doesn't want to do anything 😭
- you got this! i am a huge dumbass but still managed to graduate college so if i can do it, I believe in you :]
  don't forget to bribe your brain with music/junk food/drugs/whatever it takes lol
  
  Thank you for the encouragement! I graduated too lol, just last month with my masters. This is just some research to do during the summer while I look for further education or work.

Artist? The artist have forgotten their signature.
- The comic is giving me generative AI vibes.
  
  They only have three fingers 🤔
  
  Different couch and TV, but someone did prompt ai to di it. They're the thought artist

Laziness isn't a thing. It centralises productivity as a measure of worth, and then shames people for hitting a threshold that means they can't meet the productivity expectations of others.

Works for erectile dysfunction too.

Why can't it be both? Cause it's definitely both.

Please brain, let me get up and do it

Is the movie Kill Bill a metaphor for a distracted mind becoming focused?
Quentin could turn his life around on his own after a friend considered it wasted.

That's by definition not ADHD. I am still wondering if I can get something helpful out of the movie.

No joke small amounts of weed help me overcome this

this is just this https://lemmy.world/post/31127431. AI generated or not, you could at least make it not the exact same premise, style, and punchline
- As that post's title suggests, it is a recreation of this one, not the other way around. Check the post dates.
  
  the Internet is a crazy place
