Well, it’s probably not the fault of the species responsible for the current great extinction, is it? /s

I’m asking you again: why use up the resources for a synthetic image if it upsets people and the expected quality is so low for memes, anyway?

Why synthesize a fucking Wojak template?

Says the person scouring my comments to try to dunk on me.

Butthurt?

That’s totally how sarcasm works, comrade. /s

Smoked ham!

See, I can do non sequiturs as well! /s

You’re not a punk if you don’t care about so-called “AI”. You’re a bootlicker with attitude.

Using it, not all that energy intensive

According to this article, this is not considered true anymore:

As conversations with experts and AI companies made clear, inference, not training, represents an increasing majority of AI’s energy demands and will continue to do so in the near future. It’s now estimated that 80–90% of computing power for AI is used for inference.

I think there’s a reason why OpenAI, Microsoft, Google and Facebook hold the energy consumption and water usage numbers so close to their chest.

Be specific.

Adjust your goddamn tone, when speaking with humans. You’re not prompting a so-called “AI”.

Because it’s inherently low art, by which I mean the ideas communicated are barely above a snip of text

So why not use a graphics program and stock images? The above example already had a template which was put through a synthetic image generator. Hell, I saw this exact meme in the wojak format.

It’s not short circuiting a creative human process, it’s helping you make slightly better stick figure drawings.

Why would I want that if stick figures would suffice? Many people don’t want to engage with synthetic text on meme communities. Why do you want to be complicit in so-called “AI” so badly?

Why?

It’s supposed to be black-white-red, which are the colors of the German Empire pre Weimar.

It’s a synthetic image. Look at the hats.

AI slop

Just stop it. Spotting these is getting harder and it’s not a useful skill to practice.

I think that Linux has done huge strides in that regard.

Umm… what?

Yeah, that really doesn’t track and has nothing to do with your duties as a mod.

It’s debatable whether or not that comment actually is equating the genocide in Gaza to the Shoa.

I guess some people have a hard time keeping their anger on target… others are glad for the excuse. 🙄

Ok. Granted. That shit should have been removed by the mods. Gonna report that one right now, actually.

Yeah, kinda. At least the stated national interest.

I’m not a fan of it myself, but I’m not a big fan of states in general.
