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 1 week ago

I think you mean "justify bigger bonuses"

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.”

[–] Spezi@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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

I think all AI art is spam

[–] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 61 points 1 week 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 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

"Potato!"

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

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

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

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

Aren't they doing this already? Seriously have any of you been on facebook. It's full of that crap.

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly! The 'death' of facebook has in no way seemed to impact its influence on everything. I still find places that use a facebook page as their company website. The marketplace is inescapable if you want to buy or sell something used.

All this idea would do is establish a very well known area for AI to be used in... and it would serve the same function as a reservoir of infection for pathogens.

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Or even local municipalities publishing important adivice.

/hey did you know that they have to cut the water supply to work on these leaking pipes? /no /why not we put it on facebook /...

No i don't have facebook, O just wish people who used it understood this little fact of life. But no. They rely on facebook for local communication, essentially cutting out anyone else.

But that’s all bots generating clickbait right?

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 1 week ago

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

[–] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week 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

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week ago (8 children)

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

[–] foo@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week 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.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not to mention teachers (it steals our lessons and tutoring work), writers (it steals their work and rehashes it), musicians (music generation is a thing), programmers (so many code snippets, so few coding jobs), and many more.

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

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 1 week ago

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