I don’t care if it’s in a shitposting community, a meme community, or a news community. If the image or text is generated it should be labeled as such, and failing to label it should be grounds to remove the post. AI slop is a plague and its only going to get worse as the tech matures (if it hasn’t already peaked).
I’m so tired of having to call it out every time I see it, especially when people in the comments think it’s a photoshop work or (heavens help us) real. Human labor has real tangible value that plagiarism machines can’t even pretend to imitate and I’m sick of seeing that shit without it being labeled (so I can filter it out).
If something that was made relatively effortlessly is possible to be confused with something made with effort, it should be marked
I suggested banning AI from communities that arent made for AI because it requires so little effort and its so easy to mass-produce, that it could flood a community
See my point? Replace ‘AI’ with photoshop and your exact argument could have come from 2 decades ago.
Could it? I dont think you can mass produce photoshopped images and its much harder to pretend you put effort into something when you didnt (thats why i put relatively)
Even if you could mass produce them and it was easier to fake effort, is anyone doing that? There are people doing those things with AI
Photoshop is magnitudes of effort less than pre-photoshop technology. The amount of images you can churn out quickly with photoshop is certainly mass production when compared with what you can get done without photoshop, for much less effort.
Is anyone photoshopping images? Hell yes. Do you think we just invented fake images?
