That """"human"""" skeleton in the fourth item gave it away immediately. Now that I look at it further, "Isolation & Surveillance" and a picture of a megaphone??? "Fear as a tool of control" with a lightning bolt in someone's head??? Did OP even read their slop before vomiting it here?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago

Also the color of the background. For some reason genAI uses that a lot.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Yeah I've seen so much AI slop with the yellow tinge. It's kinda hilarious that we're watching AI model collapse in real time but the bubble keeps growing

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I reckon that it probably began with a lot of the training material being scans of aged paper.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I've also heard theories that its related to lots of "golden hour" photos but ultimately (and this is one of the significant problems with machine learning) the specific cause is unknowable due to the nature of the software

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

What's wrong with the skeleton? It's stylised of course as these sorts of icons tend to be, but generally correct. Pelvis, spine, ribs, head, etc.

The megaphone seems like a very good way to evoke images of an abusive overseer controlling the camp's prisoners using technology of the modern day, an effective image for a section on monitoring and control, no?

There is no standardised symbol for fear within a person's mind, so again, a stylised symbol showing a lightning bolt is fine. Especially given that it is likely there on purpose - think shocks. Shocks of a different kind you may receive under an evil oppressive prisoner camp system (imagine the sudden shock in ones mind as a guard shouts or lashes out at you, I would certainly consider symbolising that in this manner).

It's as if you've never looked at anything anyone's made with simple clipart and the like before, and assume everything must be extremely deep and custom designed by experts?

Even if this were made with the help of AI, I don't see the message being any less valid, just because the person didn't go download an image editor to a PC, learn how to use it, learn how to import SVG icons and research for the most appropriate ones, build the image and export it appropriately, etc.

Not everybody is as skilled or capable as you or I may be in producing something that we might consider simple. Heck, some people only have a smartphone, not everybody has the luxury of owning a PC and proper software, nor the time or inclination to learn such tools.

The message in this image is conveyed very well, and is relevant to the current fascist regime's actions in the USA (and indeed is a universally important message).

If you want to suggest it's bad (or "slop", as you so evocatively put it) just because you don't like the image creator used to put it to print, well, that's a weird hill to die on, to be honest.

You better hope your country never duplicates the USA's slide into fascism, or you yourself may one day end up in a camp... or worse. How quick to attack the people trying to raise awareness of these abuses of human rights then, I wonder?

What's wrong with the skeleton is, that it has a second head where an ass should be.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

So the opposite of trump where there is a second asshole in his face

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Looks more like a pelvis than a head to me. 🤷

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago
[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A pelvis with 4 holes.

EDIT: and the small holes are above the bigger hole.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Those are speed holes.

The Star of David is fucked up, too. You'd think that would be an easy shape to get right.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Wow. It certainly passes the test for first viewing. I fell for it until I read this comment and cannot unsee it now. Good reminder how fast propaganda of any subject can propagate, I guess

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

i had trouble believing this was AI because why would someone use genAI to make, like, 6 clip art images and a wall of text

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

You should see the commenter that I blocked under mine. Apparently, some people don't have the technological means to go to PowerPoint Online and Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V some stock images, but they do have the means to prompt slop by mail. Silly me for assuming privilege.

This might get me a lot of downvotes, but when ai 'draws' text it generates each individual letter which makes them a bit wiggly and often not on a straight line. The fact these are all grammatically correct sentences all on perfectly straight lines give me the impression this isn't raw output. Could be that the image was made with text later added on top though, but even the most advanced ai generators aren't this consistent with text.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Could be that just the icons are AI generated, or the whole image was fed through an AI upscaler/enhancer to sharpen the image.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Could be that just the icons are AI generated

This is entirely possible. Could also be the whole image is ai generated, but the maker manually inserted the text (not so hard to erase the text ai would have generated) because AI messed up. You can for example first ask chatgpt to generate a text, but if you than ask it to generate an image with that text it will be all wobly and full of errors because of how the generation process works.

an AI upscaler/enhancer to sharpen the image.

There is no automatic fix of the first problem, because the ai spits out shapes that look like letters but aren't.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Nah, nah, I’m not saying that the text was AI image generated in any way. I just suspect that the image (after the text was put in place by a human) was fed through some enhancer/upscaler. I remember seeing a comic a while ago that reeked of AI, but it turns out that it was a fully human-made comic fed through some AI cartoon enhancer (for… some reason? The original looked fine. Maybe to steal credit?).

I do doubt that any of what I described is the case, though. I feel like the text would look less crisp if so.

I do wholeheartedly believe the icons were generated separately still.

AFAIK some new "AI" image generators also utilize LLM's to generate text overlays.

Oh, you mean Alligator Auschwitz that was just built in florida?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Auschwitz was an extermination camp, not just a concentration camp though.

For now, it's much more like Alligator Dachau. That was the nazi's first and flagship concentration camp used for propaganda.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh that is so much better. /s

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I mean, yeah? An extermination camps is arguably several magnitudes worse than a concentration camp, isn't it?

That doesn't detract from both being horrific.

Hyperbole and analogies are just two conflicting figures of speech. The overall message is weakened than if either is used by itself.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Not to mention it did become an extermination camp.

"Well they aren't concentration camps, but even if they are, they aren't that bad, but even if they are that bad, those people deserve it, and even if they were innocent, there are a lot who aren't, and even if they are all innocent, we need to exterminate brown people"

This is fucking stupid. It's when you concentrate as group in a place. That fucking simple. And it's, it's always horrible

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

Concerts stress me out too with all that people concentrated in a small place, but I think I would be more stressed in Auschwitz.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Kyle, I really thought it's a camp where you learn to concentrate.

Informationen about concentration camps on TikTok because of recent events. Did not have this on my bingo card at all.

6/6. Nobody does fascism like Donnie does! Everybody says so. Beautiful fascism!

This image has characteristics of generative AI, but I'll allow it considering the importance of the subject (and because I didn't catch it before)

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

yhea, this is definitely a skeleton:

As much as I dislike AI, it's getting accepted into the norm. the genie is out of the bottle. We're stuck with it now.
