  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

But not all AI output is slop, that’s the ~~point.~~ lie

If you teach a turtle to use a skateboard it's going to think it's amazing and no one could ever need to go faster than that.

Because turtles are fucking slow.

Give a deer a skateboard, and it's not going to give a shit.

Some people are turtles, so AI seems useful and impressive.

Maybe someday AI will improve and a person of average intelligence will find AI impressive. But at this rate the human race won't last that long.

That's the main problem when AI comes up in discussion, there is a very wide gap between someone who thinks AI is useful, and someone who actually understands what it is, what it does, and what the true cost is.

So if you try to explain it with facts and logic, it has no chance of working.
