Cool, now get rid of the AI slop

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

Generally in favour of that notion.

But I also don't think being able to communicate ideas visually should be strictly in the domain of people who can draw.

I can't draw AND Ii don't have anything worth saying so it isn't really an issue for me, personally. I just slap impact font on a carefully selected meme template, the way God intended.

Edit: Behold

Now it's art

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even without knowing how to draw, couldnt you just take images from the internet and edit them together?

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Aw yes because the effort is what matters?

That is why I tell loggers they should use hands saws. Chainsaws are really just cheating.

I was responding to that. I have no intention to argue why something so many people dont want to constantly see should or shouldnt be forced to be seen by those people

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think you got me wrong. I was just commenting down a chain of thought which starts with someone needing to have skill mastery to communicate art to someone who puts images together to do the same.

Where do we draw the line and is effort really the deciding factor or just an excuse for snobbery.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But this is unrelated to the comment you originally replied to

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just having a conversation here.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why not just reply to the comment that brought AI into topic?

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As I explained I was expanding on a conversation. Do you have an opinion here?

It feels like you don't. If you don't have an opinion and don't want to talk I have nothing more to say.

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Does it matter if i have an opinion here? You brought a counterargument somewhere where there was no argument, which could be used as a manipulation tactic

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

It was just a comment. Did you know people come here to talk. I the Future, if you have nothing to say you can just say nothing.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Frankly, the problem with AI slop isn't the AI, it's the slop. We now get to see what all those "I have so many great ideas, if only I could draw, you'd see!" people's ideas actually are, and it's... this shit.

[–] Melonpoly@lemmy.world -5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Anyone can draw it just takes time and effort.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"Can't draw" effectively means "don't currently have the skill" not "will never be able to", generally. If it would take hours learning a new skill to create one thing and if you don't have the available time to do so, then that's outside of the realm of a reasonable expectation, and thus effectively counts as "can't".

Nah lol I can draw this terribly in Paint easy peasy

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No amount of effort or practicing worked for me. I don't know if it's some kind of visual issue, a mental issue, or what. I do have aphantasia, so that might be related? I cannot reproduce something I see. It's just like the data that make up the thing don't make sense in a way I can put it on paper,

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

This is really a teaching issue. There are several techniques that can train your brain how to draw. Arguably you may never be a great artist but you can definitely learn to draw with adequate results.

[–] erlend_sh@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’m surprised these images make it so high up on Lemmy when this place is (rightly) so culturally opposed to the stuff.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They can be tough to spot.

The battle is lost (⁠´⁠;⁠ω⁠;⁠`⁠)

The arms race is real (⁠╯⁠︵⁠╰⁠,⁠)

Crypto is still bullshit ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠•̥⁠`⁠ʔ

But AI is here to stay ʕ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠ʔ

Yeah, I don't like it either (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

[–] the_q@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Who's the artist that drew this?

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

AI counts as an artist now?

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The US has been dealing with trade for about 250 yrs, China has been dealing with these things for over 2000.

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

One could flip it around and argue that China has been bad at trade since they have been dealing with these things for over 2000 years and still aren't number one, even with 3-4 times the population of the US.

Don't misunderstand me, in the current situation China is absolutely acting in a more rational way. China are making friends. The USA are burning bridges, and more or less punishing their allies for their loyalty.

At some point, it's just time to put in an embargo.

Trump already learned* the word "tariff", and now you want him to learn another?

*: Yes, I know he doesn't know the definition of "tariff", but he knows it's a word.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

"If I make the number big enough, China will eventually have to start paying the tariffs, right?"

[–] capuccino@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I always remember this.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Trump is handing over influence economic influence on China with this one. With China championing free trade, the (soon to be former) allies of US will become closer to China when it comes to trade.
