lol, this whole meltdown you’re having started because I dared call your slop “slop” in the other thread. I genuinely think you have some level of AI psychosis, to be this angry that I insulted your digital wife’s honor.
“AI isn’t going anywhere. You can hate it all you like but you have no power to get rid of it. Even if the majority of people hated AI (they don’t) the rich people who hold all the power love AI and would never let you take it away from them. Your dislike of AI is irrelevant because you are impotent.”
Sounds exactly like what the fascist snake oil merchants pushing “AI” would say!
(they don’t)
This is an excellent indication that you have never spoken to a single live person on this issue. Try it. See what they tell you.
Seriously? The One Drop Rule?? What an unhinged thing to do, to compare internet comments that make you mad to Apartheid. You’re an embarrassment for this.
I am on the fence about whether Black Knight and Secret Rings should be considered part of the mainline series. It doesn’t seem like ST does, although they do consider Shadow to be part of it. To be honest I loved that game as a kid and still get a kick out of the camp today, but I can’t defend its design now. The Space Colony Ark levels are inexcusable.
I know how the technology works, dipshit. The fact that LLMs draw from human input does not take away from the fact that they produce an output. If you’re reading a lot of that output, it will influence you and show up in your writing, as indeed appears to be the case.
Ok, this is fair. Definitely a more “measured” take then some I’ve seen on here. And you’re right about throwing out baseless accusations, I regret that I defended that, and I’m sorry I made a baseless assumption about you.
Hmm, do you maybe think it’s possible that the LLMs you’re such a big fan of have influenced your writing style? Because it sure seems like they have, and not for the better!
Yes, they have no merit as propaganda, which requires the kind of careful crafting that these machines are incapable of.
They’re all dogshit - I can’t tell whether the background in the third image is supposed to be trees or waves, the hamsick is fucked again, and one figure in the foreground appears to be making an entirely inappropriate “small penis” gesture. The first one is just an anime meme that could be shat out easily in a 30 minute photoshop job, so there’s not that much to even say about it. Stay mad about your slop being slop.
It’s not a strawman, that’s how you and yours actually talk. And I think the porn addiction thing is fair speculation in absence of another explanation for your ruthless commitment to defending this highly dubious tech. We all know it’s a real problem with the internet, and AI going to make that problem worse.
things [aren’t] necessarily good/socialist just because they’re from China
This. DeepSeek is just as good at spitting out liberal narratives as ChatGPT.
I agree that the glazing on here is out of control - I got multiple downvotes and replies (one of which I’m pretty sure was LLM generated) on another thread for defending the use of the term “slop” to refer to chatbot output. It’s honestly making me a little suspicious - apparently one of the mods here is big on AI hype.
lol did you have an LLM write this? Sure seems like it, based on the length, use of bullet points, and general style/tone…
Anyway, I don’t think that “slop” implies any “objective standard of quality”. It’s a subjective term for any lazy, derivative work. Not all slop is AI output, but all AI output claiming to be “art” is slop.
The more I look at just the second image the more it falls apart. The stars on their hats look like something a kindergartner drew and are, inexplicably, beige with a tiny red border. You know that famous symbol of our cause, the beige star? The AK on the right has random holes all over the handguard that make no sense, and both girls have mismatched collar tabs. The hamsicks on their coats are mostly right, in sharp contrast to the one on the flag, which, again, looks drawn by a kindergartner - that really was the most important one to get right. I’ve been online for longer than some people on this site have been alive, and I’ve seen a good deal of digital art, both good and bad. This doesn’t even hold a candle to the likes of Tim Buckley and Andrew Dobson. So, while I appreciate the intent behind these images, I am still rating them Slop/10.
Even OpenAI admits their models spit out garbage up to 50% of the time. Personally, I have yet to see any “art” or “music” generated by LLMs that has any merit as such. How is “slop” not an entirely appropriate term for these results? I’m a little more open minded on this issue than I used to be, but I’m still not convinced that AI has any actual use-case for the “average consumer”. Your post reads like you’re a Microsoft Employee trying to police sentiment.
