There you go, kids! Behold, The Future(TM)!

Having RAM prices skyrocket 9000% and all the ecological destruction was totally worth it for a future that's continvoucly morged!

What is it with people delegating the simplest things to AI ? it's a graphic with dots and lines and a little bit of text ffs, just do it yourself like a big boy

(and even then, how do you not proofread something like this?)

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

even worse: the original could've just been used with appropriate attribution. It's even easier than generating an image.

[–] Benaaasaaas@group.lt 8 points 1 day ago

But you see it's more difficult than just saying "generate me github flow readme"

i dont even get why they needed to make an ai copy if they were gonna steal at least just right click copy the image.

And then he morged all over the place!

Cleaning up the morge conflicts took us a whole freaking week...

[–] Bombastic@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago

I morged about a morgillion times already

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

among other mistakes

It's nothing but mistakes

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

Going backwards in Tim makes complete sense. You just don't morge enough to understand.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 18 hours ago

It's morgein' time

[–] dangercake@feddit.uk 6 points 22 hours ago

Fine but has anyone asked Tim how they felt about it

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I absolutely love the fact that we'll most likely never get rid of stuff like that in AI generated content. There will always be things that are wrong/wonky with it.

The problem is when they start making it acceptable to the masses

Commentary from the author of the original git flow image that was morged over Tim here: https://nvie.com/posts/15-years-later/

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 2 points 23 hours ago

Thanks for the link. It annoys me that even "good" journalism (PC Gamer) didn't quote him correctly; stripping the tags obfuscated the original tone.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 67 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bruh morged it all to fuck.,

Morge (v): To add AI-generated slop to a previously unsoiled codebase.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 7 points 1 day ago

Morge continvoucly is to set up automatic slop generation tooling or to flood a codebase with slop PRs

[–] Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 3 points 1 day ago

I mean what's the point of morging if you're gonna do it intermittoucly?

[–] borth@sh.itjust.works 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the exact same image that was sloppified, so why did they even generate one to begin with?

[–] dbx12@programming.dev 21 points 1 day ago

So they don't have to credit and claim it's "own work"

Don’t forget… Homor.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

excuse me my mom's name is also morge

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 1 day ago

My mistake! There is always a morgin of error with this stuff.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago

Microslop at it again

[–] scroll_responsibly@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

My favorite part of Morbius was when he said “I am Morbius” and then mor~~g~~b’d all over everyone!

[–] SpicyLizards@reddthat.com 10 points 1 day ago

Microslop doing the thing they do?

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why did this happen? Like in what circumstance does it make sense to delete tge originals and replace them with slop?

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Im guessing they wanted to make the screenshot a little more modern with solid colors, solid arrows and plain white backgrounds.

[–] Hexarei@beehaw.org 1 points 17 hours ago

And then made no effort to proofread it
