Itt people angrily downvoting and building head canon of me of why I don’t find them clever for pointing out the obvious.

A proper unpopular opinion!

      Neither does most of the infographics and whatnot. Everybody that cares can see it is generative. Everybody that can’t is not bothered.

      Most of the comments I see are barely nothing more than “AI SLOP!”, indicating that the only purpose was for the commenter to announce that they could see it.

    Ehhh, I’m torn on the vote for this

    On One hand, it is unpopular, in that nobody really thinks this. It’s also unpopular because I think most people, if not damn near everyone, would think it’s stupid and reject it entirely based on the obvious flaws in the comparison even if they didn’t disagree.

    However, the post looks like rage bait, and you complained about voting, then you veer into mild nastiness. Which makes it likely the post was rage bait.

    If you hadn’t edited in the crap, I’d have up voted because the original post was a perfect fit for the C/. But, dude, that edit is just lame. So I had to down vote.

    You make a post in a community like this, you take the votes as they come. You don’t whine about them, and you don’t turn it into some kind of ego weirdness.

      My dude, really. I couldn’t care less about internet points that you explain how you’re carefully deciding who is deserving. Seriously. Nobody should.

      This was a casual reflection that amused me and then came the next one that I added as an edit.

      Though I admit it was my mistake to get invested for a moment and try to explain and make people understand my point. That was quite silly and pointless. Social media is what it is.

    Your unpopular opinion is that users commenting nothing but “ai slop” on slop ai posts is counterproductive to the discussion, as it provides nothing of value.

    I’d argue that posting ai slop in and of itself provides nothing of value. There is nothing of value in generative ai. People are going to comment on it, because it’s bad. Get over it, I guess.

      That people are repeating the production of comment slop that existed before and will exist ever after.
