Also you know those boomers won't stop at the hundredth image, thus all the AI services will go broke.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 31 points 3 months ago

I think you mean "justify bigger bonuses"

Bizarre AI-generated images are currently flooding Facebook, as engagement hacks and bots run rampant on the social media platform, spawning a meme-worthy image that has been dubbed “Shrimp Jesus.”

It’s actually working, many people around me that were enthusiastic about AI are now pissed off by it thanks to all that shit.

So if bots flood db0 with terrible AI generated spam, then the db0 admins will stop being weird about AI?

... I'm not asking for any particular reason

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

spam is spam. We'll deal with it like any other spam.

[–] MummysLittleBloodSlut@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think all AI art is spam

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 61 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I feel like it usually minionizes anything it touches anyways, so that's a surprisingly good fit for it.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"Potato!"

Or something. IDK, I haven't watched the movies...

[–] Hazmatastic@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I remember finding it funny and endearing when I first watched it. And then it just... never... stopped...

I think that was every normal person's experience with minions. They were funny as side characters in the film, but then the sequels and spinoffs leaned too heavily into them and the memes started and everyone with 2 braincells to rub together said "fuck this" and ignored the minion scurge to fester

This used to be a $1200 commission.

I like how you didn't use a single word more than necessary to communicate the question.

I like it.

It's the "Use your kid's slang to make them realize it's garbage" reverse card.

[–] foo@feddit.uk 5 points 3 months ago

Totally works. When I started referring to things as "skibidi" it was suddenly dropped from my kids' lexicon.

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago (22 children)

Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor's samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.

As it is now, we're going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.

Copyright lawsuit incoming

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I dont know why it upsets people. Maybe accept that it exists in the world and it only mimics real human creativity.

If there was a fish that could mimic and recreate human art would you be mad at the fish?

[–] ventusvir@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (6 children)

It's a plagarism machine that is being used to put actual artists out of work

[–] foo@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that's true. Humans are born knowing nothing, learn from other humans, and are then capable of making something new. Like standing on the shoulders of giants. I wonder if ML/AI is capable of that yet, or does it purely regurgitate others' work.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

And if the fish did just the same, putting artists out of work, would you be just as mad that the fish exsisted?

We could start with posting memes in the meme community...

[–] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okay, so how do you make minion memes with it? I have no clue myself

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 3 months ago

Popular and profitable things do way more damage no matter how "uncool" they are. Boomers making minion images will only worsen the problem.
