The official Introduction to Github page included an AI-generated graphic with the phrase "continvoucly morged" on it, among other mistakes.

Morge (v): To add AI-generated slop to a previously unsoiled codebase.

luciferofastora@feddit.org · 10 pts · 181d

Morge continvoucly is to set up automatic slop generation tooling or to flood a codebase with slop PRs

degen@midwest.social · 2 pts · 180d

I like to think of if it as "mogging" the codebase with the sigma branch

db2@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 181d (1 reply)

Continvoucly.

Zos_Kia@jlai.lu · 3 pts · 181d

I mean what's the point of morging if you're gonna do it intermittoucly?

pipe01@programming.dev · 48 pts · 181d (2 replies)

It's morging time

fonix232@fedia.io · 16 pts · 181d

And then he morged all over the place!

Cleaning up the morge conflicts took us a whole freaking week...

Bombastic@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 180d

I morged about a morgillion times already

It's the exact same image that was sloppified, so why did they even generate one to begin with?

Commentary from the author of the original git flow image that was morged over Tim here: https://nvie.com/posts/15-years-later/

Thanks for the link. It annoys me that even "good" journalism (PC Gamer) didn't quote him correctly; stripping the tags obfuscated the original tone.

My favorite part of Morbius was when he said “I am Morbius” and then morgb’d all over everyone!

I absolutely love the fact that we'll most likely never get rid of stuff like that in AI generated content. There will always be things that are wrong/wonky with it.

The problem is when they start making it acceptable to the masses

Hadriscus@jlai.lu · 16 pts · 180d (2 replies)

What is it with people delegating the simplest things to AI ? it's a graphic with dots and lines and a little bit of text ffs, just do it yourself like a big boy

(and even then, how do you not proofread something like this?)

pulsey@feddit.org · 14 pts · 180d (1 reply)

even worse: the original could've just been used with appropriate attribution. It's even easier than generating an image.

Benaaasaaas@group.lt · 8 pts · 180d

But you see it's more difficult than just saying "generate me github flow readme"

Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz · 12 pts · 181d (2 replies)

Why did this happen? Like in what circumstance does it make sense to delete tge originals and replace them with slop?

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 11 pts · 181d

Im guessing they wanted to make the screenshot a little more modern with solid colors, solid arrows and plain white backgrounds.

among other mistakes

It's nothing but mistakes

definitemaybe@lemmy.ca · 8 pts · 180d (2 replies)

Going backwards in Tim makes complete sense. You just don't morge enough to understand.

dangercake@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 180d

Fine but has anyone asked Tim how they felt about it

Taleya@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 180d

It's morgein' time

SpicyLizards@reddthat.com · 11 pts · 181d

Microslop doing the thing they do?

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 9 pts · 180d

i dont even get why they needed to make an ai copy if they were gonna steal at least just right click copy the image.

orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts · 4 pts · 180d

My mistake! There is always a morgin of error with this stuff.

SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org · 6 pts · 180d

Microslop at it again

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 180d

There you go, kids! Behold, The Future(TM)!

Having RAM prices skyrocket 9000% and all the ecological destruction was totally worth it for a future that's continvoucly morged!

Wait, I saw that image without context. You’re telling me it wasn’t satire?
