Fediverse memes

One would hope, but most people prefer convenience over creation and sadly GenAI, for as much of a ripoff as it is, fills that niche for those people, It shouldn't, I don't support that in the slightest (seriously, if you want fast, easy art, just play with construction paper cutouts, that's still worlds better than typing in a prompt to get something, and it's also kinda fun on its own merits), and I hate GenAI with a passion, but it's what it is.

That said, you can still resist it by just continuing to handmake stuff like you've probably been doing since you could hold a crayon and make marks with it.

I've got people praising my poorly drawn graphs, of all things. 5min stuff like this:

So yes, odds are they'll like your drawings better over mass produced AI slop.

I’d rather see absolutely nothing instead of AI

Exactly. I'd taoe funny concept crudely drawn stick figures over AI slop

Yes

If it's funny enough, the art is secondary. If the at is perfect, the joke still needs to be at least passable.

Just because it's human made, doesn't mean it's automatically good.

Sometimes the bad art becomes its own part of the joke (xkcd).

Admins can apply an AI tag to communities (including remote ones on Lemmy instances) and then all the posts in those communities automatically get the AI tag. Same as NSFW.

I mean admins can label it in Lemmy too. But we just call it "ban" :P

I haven't used it but I have seen piefed peeps talking about it being able to tag it as mods.

Though exactly like NSFW/NSFL and bot posts (which people avoid so replying can feel like a honeypot experience where a conversation was invited but unlikely to be fruitful, since even the poster themselves will never read your message), it's not only the item itself but rather the lack of proper labeling. AI slop could arguably, theoretically, for some people (I'm trying to frame this so as to lessen the chances of being flamed here!) be enjoyable, but cannot be acceptable in the wider community unless properly labeled. This "restriction" enables us to be more fully free to have our own enjoyment of this shared space.

Edit: for context, I had not even gotten to the existing flame war down below your comment yet, but somehow I knew it was coming! The Threadiverse seems to love to hate on AI almost as much as Windows and tankies!:-P (and ironically all for the same underlying reason: because consent should matter, even/especially when others say differently)
