So, brought on by this thread:
https://hexbear.net/post/8986189?scrollToComments=false
And @EdlritchEconomics@hexbear.net pointing out it's a AI image; here is a whole thing.
So I think the general consensus is AI slop bad and we dont want it in this town.
AI slop is now a bit tricky and I wouldnt blame someone for being tricked and posting slop as if it were real because they were themselves mislead. I dont blame em, scrutinizing every image is an exhausting ordeal.
So my proposal, is that any AI slop presented as true should be removed. Posting AI slop to comment on AI slop seems fine and honest. I dont think anyone posting AI slop and presenting it as real should face consequences unless there is evidence of doing it on purpose but we cant have robot pictures pretending to be real pictures. We need Blade Runners.
I dunno if a task force or an if you see something say something method is best, but it's just gonna get harder to spot for a while until the whole thing turns into a fun house mirror, so it seems worth getting in front of. You shouldn't have to scroll the comments to find out a posted image is AI and I would prefer no image posted here be AI unless it's meant to comment on that image as an AI image, illustrating a point about a slop image is one thing but if an image is AI I think it should just be removed but ill accept a tag being needed.
I picked Chat cause I dunno if anyone uses Feedback nowadays.
This also just made me think of photoshopping pictures to make them look like AI for plausible deniability/for a bit
If it's purely for a shitpost, I personally don't think it's worth getting up in arms about
Edit: Also there have been updates in that thread: The exact pic may or may not be ai. but that specific meme car is indeed real
I think that needs some restrictions even. It should be tagged as AI, it cant be created by op and it needs to be mocking the image. No one should repost ai memes or jokes that they enjoyed. Any post containing an ai image or text should only be posted in mockery and be tagged as well.
The only thing more annoying than the absolute dorks who spam the weird dream their computer had everywhere like anyone cares are people who think they're on some kind of righteous crusade against that sort of annoying and cringe behavior. The core debate should start and end at "no, we really don't want to see the weird dream your computer had. Yes I'm sure you think it's very funny but it's really not," to preclude a flood of low quality content akin to the way godawful CGI flooded everything back when Poser and Daz3d became widely accessible in the mid 00s, and then just not really giving a shit about things caught in the wild unless it's explicitly misinformation (and a traditional photoshop used in the same way should be prohibited too).
I don't think the average hexbear uses ai image generators, much less posts the results here. If ai stuff is ever posted here it's almost always because the person didn't know/didn't care enough to investigate beforehand for a meme post. Nor should they have to imo. If it's for a serious topic, sure, but like I said I'm singling out joke posts specifically.
Could you give a hypothetical? It can be pretty broad,.I just want to get a better understanding of where youre coming from before responding.
I guess what I'm getting at is: Unless it's for a serious topic people shouldn't be expected to check beforehand if an image was made by ai or not, especially if in the end it's only for the sake of a gag. I've seen some people here get on other's cases for inadvertently posting an ai image for a shitpost of theirs, and it felt like an overreaction to me.
I think I clarified a lot of this elsewhwre on the thread. Gonna make an edit tomorrow to the post with those in regsrd but its supper snd sleep time now.
And I edited my first post to reflect it, but there seems to have been updates in the post you referenced.
I got a lot of replies at the same time
