What effort? I can open gemini and type "give me a shitpost meme about being angry for something random, you pick" and get a picture. I don't even have to think about what it would be. The part that requires the most effort is copy/pasting it here.
"shitpost meme about being angry for something random" given to shitty SDXL. Required zero effort and also zero quality. Just to prove cley_faye's point
There are plenty of tool for that. And, for that matter, "making an account" for gemini means having used gmail/youtube/anything vaguely google related in the last ten years. I'm pretty sure lazy people are already there.
I dick around with AI images, I can tell you there's absofukinglutely no effort being put into it. A bit of typing, enough time to pack, smoke a bong and have a coughing fit and bam stupid pointless image.
Well, copying and pasting someone else's shitpost is probably the lowest effort you could do, besides telling someone else to do it. AI is barely above copying and pasting so it fits within the accepted level of effort for shitposting, it meets every criteria, no where does it say shitposts have to be OG content, so AI shitposts are shitposts and shit posts, much like half the shit posts on this shitposting shit post.
Not AI but AI Slop. An AI image is created over time, fine tuning the prompt until it is perfect.
AI slop is just the first thing the ChatGPT image creation tool shows you. Perfect edges, a lot of mistakes, background that’s just jitter, a comic in that one specific style with the thick lines, that yellowish tint, the fur of animas looks too perfect all the way like the whole body is a macro shot.
After some time you kind of… feel AI generated images, audio, video and text. Bad use of LLMs has a pattern.
Most of the AI shitposts i see, or AI comics in general seem to have this really weird art style that you can kind of zero in on when you've seen it enough times. Personally I've been seeing it less since I've taken to just blocking the user who posts it.
Depends on what you're using it to generate. Entire art styles out of thin air that were probably derived from someone's real art? I'd say that's an ethical dilemma.
Using AI to make the perfect cat-spider-hybrid? No artists were harmed, it's just faster photoshop.
Sick in the head I see. I don't usually do that, but I did a quick look at your profile and man... do better, you look stressed as fuck with all your constant insulting everyone you come across.
In a time when content is king. It makes me so angry that the left was manipulated and played into hating AI. Look at you all. You can't even see it. Lemmy is so oblivious to it.
My fucking 68 year old trump supporting dad is using it daily to get numbers and sources and generate memes he finds funny to share.
You people are clutching your pearls because Lemmy had like 6 accounts that shared every single doom and gloom article they could all day every day for the past year.
Well yeah that's what always boggled my mind - oil drilling rights, abortion, taxes, these things don't have anything to do with each other, but if someone has an opinion on one of them, you can pretty well guess their opinion on the rest.
I dunno though, Europe seems to be doing pretty well with regulations that go after big corporations and benefit everyday people. I think it's just in America where "the left" is finished. If anything it's such a disaster that it's like a warning to the rest of the world. Trump's election flipped the polls in Canada from right to... well not left, but not right either.
Good point about Canada. They flipped. Meaning the conservatives were in the lead by a lot. The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up. This is the same almost everywhere. The Lefts victory's have not been because of their policy or engagement with the people. The left has been winning only when the right fuck up. Any other time the right has captured dominant positions in many key areas. Vice versa, the left are hobbling themselves at every turn while slowly dismantling themselves. I have no doubt Lemmy is targeted and manipulated by groups looking to convince the left to eat itself.
The only thing that stopped them was Trump fucking up.
You mean showing up.
But you're right, the left has been infiltrated and manipulated to focus on minorities and identity politics instead of things that benefit everyone, like increased wages, corporate regulations, corporate taxes, worker's rights. You don't hear too much about those these days. Maybe because the media doesn't talk about those lefties. Maybe it's in the media's interest to only show you what they want you to see.
Oh yes please bring politics into everything! It makes discussions so much enjoyable! Please tell me more about your political views and those of your family, it adds so much to this post!
Yes, a lot of stuff is political but their AI loving dad being a fascist, or at least a supporter of fascists, is completely irrelevant regarding discussion about the ethical use of image generation. Same goes for the claim the left is done. It's only and attempted ragebait and adds nothing. You can see it in so many places in the comments under various posts, which is annoying at times.
If you want to complain about irrelevance I'm fine with that. I was only arguing with you because you complained about politics. If that's not your complaint anymore then I have no beef with you and wish you a pleasant week

But that would still mean there was some effort involved at some point, which is not enough for "no effort"
A text post would require less effort, but its still not 0
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 335d
I paid my Internet bill last month, does that count as effort?

Yes
If you want to get the least effort possible for a post, you have to strategize. You cant just use the first thing you can think of

Wouldnt text posts require less effort?
This is the ultimate shitpost, not some really low effort post that would have room for extra effort
dumbass@leminal.space · 2 pts · 335d
Copy and pasted text posts would be least effort, you can do that one handed with barely any movement.
atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 335d
If you have to press ctrl+c and ctrl+v to do that, why not make a post with the title c and the text v
