We’re fighting amongst ourselves over it being AI? This wasn’t even about AI, it’s counter productive and exactly what gets us where we are, they have us chasing our own tails instead of Epstein and McConnell.
It’s got the underline brush strokes of those generic AI flyers that ChatGPT craps out.
The font texture is also inconsistent but to be devils advocate it could be a Photoshop filter. Tbh though the underline brush strokes give it away as AI.
Why would this particular person, who presumably opened Gimp or Procreate or Photoshop, choose to use differing texture masks on the words, and a different texture on the brush strokes, and then after all this was done, completely fail to take thirty seconds to center the text?
Because there never was a person making these choices.
What, you got a problem with a photographer who’s calling you out for adding slop to Lemmy? You’re putting words in my mouth saying I “made a distraction comment?”
This is a side effect that the billionaires who run the AI models are counting on: that people no longer pay attention to the message itself, but instead waste their time speculating about whether someone used a proper app or image generation.
What I’m getting at is this: People have been using it for a long time now, whether you like it or not. I don’t like it, but it’s still the reality. Pretending it isn’t helps no one—in this case, it’s even counterproductive for the reasons I mentioned.
That’s why I called it “Panora’s box”: This technology is out there—there’s no changing that, even if we’d like to.
I still don’t think that advocating for using a slop machine is a good look. The keyboard and the title box is right there. Much less effort, much more immediacy of message, screen readers can pick it up, and folks don’t have to download an image to see the message.
I’m not using the goddamn AI slop ladle. It’s an active choice. No one is forced to ladle more AI slop onto the internet.
You are not forced to ladle more AI slop on the internet. All you have to do is to choose not to do it, and instead just type your message on the keyboard.
AI slop? Really? Could just write that as a text post with a title.

How can you tell?

The way “please” isn’t correctly centered might be a giveaway. Or someone is just really bad at typography
You’re right, and “Remember” is a little off center too.
Someone with enough skill to make text with a seamless textured mask would definitely know to center the whole thing. Good catch.
Are humans incapable of underlining words for emphasis? Where else would AI learn to do that?

You’re missing the point.
It’s a distraction comment, pay no mind.
It actually isn’t. Resources were wasted conveying an important message which could be typed on a keyboard.
This could easily be a template or photoshop. Move along.
“Move along?” What are you, a cop?

Buddy, no, this ain’t it.
I made a template from https://imgflip.com/memegenerator and then edited it. We all good now?
Edit: As usual, it’s never about the AI behind a fucking text template. If it was, you guys would be thrilled.
It’s edited from imgflig. I hope you guys can all rest easy now.

You’ll never be able to close Pandora’s box. So…
I get that but the point stands its redundant,and the more people normalize this crap the worse it gets

That’s a commendable attitude, but it doesn’t help in the face of reality.

Think of it like Smurf accounts on apps in the Fediverse: Nobody wants that—it’s extremely counterproductive and unfair—but people do it anyway.
I’m not resigning on this.
