Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Indeed it is but I'm not talking about the AI Slop. I'm talking about the people that feel the need to drop that two words oneliner that does nothing and serves no other purpose than to announce that the commenter was able to spot a generated image regardless the context. Most often it is more than obvious for anybody that cares. Hence, it is the new "fake!"
I think it's necessary to point out
AI training is just theft from artists, it's a one sided relationship where AI companies get everything and artists lose their job
this is why any use of AI should be punished
I agree. Both are correct.
Comedy skits don't pretend to be true though. That's a big difference.
Some do though
Some do though
You're half right. All of them do. That being said, it isn't a fucking problem.
OP is an absolute numpty but this point of view is utter nonsense and demonstrates an extreme lack of media comprehension skills. The point of a skit is to frame it as reality so that you can relate to the skit. There are no skits that open with anything saying "This is fake and a skit." They assume that the viewer has enough brain cells to determine that it is a skit and then just enjoy it for what it is. Evidentally y'all have enough to narrow down that it is a skit but then you just completely lock up, point and scream fake at the top of your lungs. It's fucking exhausting and, to me, gives me the instant visual of someone who just points at the sky and goes "IT'S BLUE" and then drools all over themselves.
Slop is slop. Whatever form it takes. Consuming it is for pigs
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.
