I like to gaslight myself into thinking that all the absurd AI content I see online are just weird photoshop images in disguise

Now I can’t even tell what is real anymore.
NeedyPlatter@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Me neither. I kid, but I genuinely have trouble telling the difference between AI and heavily edited images. Someone on Reddit posted a video of a model on Insta who I assumed was heavily filters and everyone caught on that’s it AI but it took me reading the comments and constantly rewatching to see it.
We are so fucked

Incorrect.
Extremely weird imagery used to take imagination and talent.

It’s little depressing, cause you post that now and it will get all the same “ai slop” hate.

You seem to equate the work an actual artist does to typing in a chat box. This implies that you know nothing of the work an artist does and therefore negates your opinion.
danc4498@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was simply talking about work as a metric of time and energy. There is art that potentially can be done in AI that is not simply “typing in a chat box”. Just like photoshop artists aren’t simply “applying filters” or whatever it is they do (you’re right, I’m not an artist).
And for much of the “slop” on the internet, it is just copying some prompt you found and tweaking it a little and posting it on the internet for points.
I think artists have the potential to take AI to the next level and make even better things. Similar to how photoshop artists can make incredible art.
This implies that you know nothing of the work an artist does and therefore negates your opinion.
This is weirdly aggressive as I’m just giving my hopes for the future and not judging anybody… maybe you misunderstood what my comment was about.

Books are just people typing onto paper.

I find the “AI slop” commenters as annoying as the “that didn’t happen/everyone clapped/albert einstein handed you a $100 bill” ones. Their contribution is shittier than what they are commenting on even when they are correct, but it’s not rare to see a comment like that followed by the dumbest logic as to why they think that’s the case (especially on reddit).
danc4498@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Great point. I have found myself seeing a meme and laughing and enjoying it, then reading the top comments about “AI slop” and question whether I should have enjoyed it or not. I’m going to try to ignore that part of my brain from now on.

At the risk of getting downvoted I gotta say there is some excellent weird stuff on that same level that was created with the help of AI tools. There are some artists out there with actual talent and creativity using genAI.
It’s a damn shame that it’s drowned out by the very real and very overwhelming amount of slop. I keep hoping the creeps that flood the internet with that crap get bored of it so it’s easier for actually creative stuff to rise to the top.

I thought the one on the right was AI since it “went viral” recently. But maybe it’s older than I thought.

What does the text on that beautiful Strawberry Elephant Creature say?
popcar2@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
It’s Arabic. It’s a pun on “Good morning” which is written sabah el-fol. The picture says sabah el-farawla which roughly translates to “Good Strawberring”
ggtdbz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Wouldn’t even call it a pun, as someone pointed out already. I’m going to sacrifice the joke in the name of explaining it.
brief Arabic cultural lesson for those who care
You have your Good Morning (≈Morning of Peace, صباح الخير) in English. In Arabic we have more variations. The standard reply to this first one is Morning of Light (صباح النور). Basically wishing each other a good day by describing what makes it good. There’s a couple but these first two in this order is the standard (and secular *) greeting. * you’ll see why that is even worth pointing out in a second Then you have more abstract ones that imply a good day by referring to something (commonly a pleasant smelling flower), like Morning of Roses (صباح الورد) or Morning of (a specific type of) Jasmine (صباح الفل). All of these have a musical quality to them in a way I can’t write out. You’ll get older relatives sending you standardized photos with these greetings in groups or just to text you to invite you for lunch (or to fix their phone). Here’s the google images result for Good Morning (≈Morning of Peace): Image I’ve highlighted the religious stuff in red and the roses with blue, to see how common they are. The religious stuff is mostly variations with Islamic Duas (prayers asking for something - in the case of all of these it’s basically “asking” God to give the recipient good health / a good day / a pleasant path in life - it’s really just a “good luck” phrased in the only way a religious society can express it. FWIW I’m (mostly) not from a Muslim family so I get secular or Christian versions of these. Often the photos I get are flowers, traditional breakfast food, coffee, a nice breakfast table set in a shaded garden. And often there’s very few pixels. Sometimes an aunt will just take a photo of her coffee and that’s basically a greeting. But it’s usually garbled old jpegs from 2007. Critical subtext: these are literally forwards from grandma. Well-meaning, but eventually obnoxious, especially back when phones had 8GB of storage.
This meme says Morning of Strawberries (صباح الفراولة) which is both clunky (Arabic’s got a poetic quality and these two words put together just intuitively do not work that way. It has the meter of a punchline if that makes sense) and silly, but with the textured elephant and the 13x12 resolution as you can probably guess it’s just a surreal meme.
But now you know why it’s a surreal meme.
Come back next week for the much less wholesome next episode of Arabic forwards from Arabic grandma: videos alleging the Jews invented homosexuality, cancer, and sex
KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
I think it’s just the Arabic for “strawberry elephant”? Hard to tell at that resolution
ytg@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.

This is so true. I’ve spent the last 15 years collecting pictures like these and ai has made every one of them obsolete. Image

I don’t know what I expected, but it certainly wasn’t that many people with their bare ass cheeks out.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not gratuitous, but enough to feel like some kind of pattern. Just people with their butts hanging out.
Anyways, this little story was my favourite: Image

AI makes a picture of something that just completely never happened, so the viewer’s imagination doesn’t even bother filling in a story. I think your collection is a thousand times better.
Gladaed@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
This is so far ahead of what AI can do there is still value there. Also even real images whose story got lost lose value.
