ai slop aside… wasn’t it Canadian contractors that built ‘Alligator Auschwitz’?
Was it?
“unless your work involves drawing stuff, in which case fuck off”
The lesson here is if you want engagement, use AI, because the douchebags will comment in a rabid state and other people will appriciate it more than your shitty drawings
…yet
I always respected that Canada is open to almost everyone…
Except if you have a DUI
I knew a lady that was a Canadian citizen but lived and worked in Seattle. She got a DUI in the US and they won’t let her go back into Canada until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
That’s ridiculous. You can deny someone a driving licence, but you can’t deny them entry to the country they’re a citizen of.
I dunno, DUI is serious, you could kill someone. Maybe it is a long and expensive process to make sure people will remember it and not drive while being drunk?
I always figured it was a good line in the sand telling some Americans, they are not welcome
drunk driving is serious and I respect that they treat it as such
Looking at their rules for it, it actually seems kinda fucked: One bad choice years ago bars you for life unless you are wealthy enough to go through their process and hire lawyers, it’s a even crime to try and enter, but that is definitely not a widely known fact, so even though someone might have paid their dues and even been completely sober for years, they’re still fucked unless they’re well off.
I get wanting to protect people and stop dangerous driving but effectively banning someone for life if they made a mistake and happen to be poor seems a bit unfair. You can bet your ass rich people have all sorts of ways around this that completely circumvent the system anyhow on top of all that.
As usual, it’s another regulation that disproportionately affects poor people who are unable to afford proper legal representation to begin with (and are more likely to be falsely convicted of a DUI in the first place).
Which rules are you referring to?
The Canadian one that states you can’t come to their country with a DUI unless you go through their reportedly expensive and time consuming process?
Do you have a link?
No but it’s easy enough to find. If you are doubting me and genuinely curious, go find it! In fact, if you doubt what I have to say, you should definitely look it up for yourself instead of taking my word for it.
So, no forgiveness? What if you went dry? Gave up drinking?
until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
Sounds like there’s a path to forgiveness, it’s just not cheap or easy. Which, why should it be? She drove under the influence and could have killed someone.
I wasn’t speaking about anyone in particular in this case.
Sounds like my ex… From Seattle. Does the word “Ace” mean anything to you?
Is there still a chance you’ll send me to a Salvadorian prison with due process?
Probably could have left out the words “without due process” because they should not be throwing people into an El Salvadorian gulag.
ai slop
Unlike humans an AI probably wouldn’t make a mistake like “El Salvadorian”
I’m old. Help me not fall victim to AI slop again. How could you tell it was AI?
In this case:
- this comic artstyle is very characteristic of AI, down to the line weight, facial expression (these soulless eyes and smile), and how the character is positioned;
- the bus has no door;
- the picture has a yellow-ish tint, which has been plaguing certain AI image generators ever since the AI Ghibli trend. They likely overtrained their slop machines on Studio Ghibli works and various other “cozy” artstyles/pictures.
The colors in a lot of AI images are very yellow
It seems to spit this out whenever you ask for comic style. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is.
it’s the exact same style used in almost all ai slop comics lately. you can tell by face alone; it’s almost identical in all of them, even with different features (like facial hair).
So these are 2 images I asked AI for, which are admittedly terrible. But beyond that, I’m unsure of the distinguishing features that pegs it as AI. Any guidance (other than never make these images again - for obvious reasons)?
There isn’t a real way to tell anymore other then using ai detector (there are a few free websites). What people are referring to is the specific style chatgpt uses by default when making comics. They are currently the best for generating comics with text, but they overlay their style so the hate isn’t directed towards them. We are very close to having open source tools that can generate full comic pages with text in whatever style asked of it.
no, I don’t know what you used but this is not what I’m talking about. you can find inconsistencies, colors that don’t make sense, a whole set of issues but that’s AI in general.
what I’m talking about a very specific style that vaguely apes the ligne claire style of comics, adding an old paper filter and completely lacking soul. they can have zero “errors” and still be recognizable because they are so exact and eerily similar in their style. there’s a difference between a person drawing in a particular style and a machine emulating it.
You can see these comics on Lemmy from time to time, although it might be getting less common since it gets negative comments every time. I’m pretty sure they come from one particular comic generator. or possibly multiple that use the same underlying model.
They have the same soulless faces, usually very limited and recognizable facial expressions. i recently saw one with dinosaurs and even they had the exact facial expressions that I’ve seen in other AI slop comics. they also have the same faux lettering font for text.
I think, ChatGPT usually produces those. Very recognisable, and remind me of one comic artist that also makes characters with eerie smiles, simplified style, but also very dark humour and traumas. Can’t remember their name, though.
chatgpt makes sense considering how prevalent it is
In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white
I can’t even figure out what I’ve noticed about these things, and it pisses me off that it rings a false positive whenever I read newspaper comics
Line weight. The round eyes. The color. The exact same smile. Same angles to the viewer. 45 or direct… There are so many telltale signs.
There is a mathematic perfection that our brains easily recognize even if we can’t articulate it. The human brain is unmatched at the task of visual pattern recognition.
When everyone starts using the same style, it’s either everyone’s hiring the same artist (unlikely) or they used AI.
There’s also no door on the bus
it’s a trap! They throw you in the bus and weld the door shut! #theGulagIsTheBus
Sure. That’s an AI mistake. I was naming general thematic and design attributes, but composition and content also inform the aware viewer.
Honestly the silver lining with all this is how innately obvious it is what it is currently.
Literally just reeks of the same level of effort as someone making a meme out of clipart or one of those boomers that uses that fancy Facebook status feature.
If you need to generate a hero image to make your witty tweet good enough to share, maybe go back to the drawing board
Can someone please get that slop outta my face?
If you insist on posting Ai slop outside of the dedicated Ai communities please at least tag it so people can filter Ai slop out.
How do you know they knew it was AI?
They can add the tag once everyone has pointed it out to them if they honestly didn’t know but these comics are painfully obvious.
ChatGPT-generated images are getting yellower by the day LOL
nah, the poster is in Mexico, that’s just the Mexico filter
What’s crazy is I instantly clocked it as AI slop just from the thumbnail, and I’m not even wearing my glasses.
My conspiracy theory is that OpenAI makes their generated images easy to recognize so that they can filter them out for learning when scraping pages.
It just all has a kind of bland sameyness to it all that once you see it you can spot it immediately in subsequent images.
In a different AI comic conversation someone used the term “slop sepia” and I hope it catches on.
The term, not the slop
(apparently my brain forgot the “visit” part of the meme and I typed this up thinking that it was about moving here)
It was difficult to get into Canada when I immigrated ten years ago (it was deeply complicated even as a sponsored individual), and I hear it’s even more difficult now. It’s a shame, because I know that the idea of escaping to Canada is a hopeful thing for many Americans. I was extremely fortunate. However, the housing shortage alone and a general anti-American sentiment has cast a huge shadow on new entries. Canadians remain as friendly as ever, but trust between them and Americans is also at an all-time low. People at work know I’m American and they love hearing my take on everything, but I don’t spread that information to new ears anymore.
I suppose it might be cool for Canada to do a 2-for-1 swap, where they send Texas pairs of whiny, privileged conservatives in exchange for good, left-leaning Americans who actually want to be here.
Last I check, Canada isn’t accepting asylum applications from Americans, because having a wannabe dictator for president is apparantly not a good enough reason to be granted asylum.
Because Canada says “move to a state that is less terrible”, which is not entirely untrue, but also not entirely true.
this isnt a shitpost. this is a shit fucking post. fuck ai. how can people still not tell, its so damn obv and uglyy 😭😭
it’s always so washed out, every. single. AI. IMAGE. regardless of style they all look washed out and flat. there’s zero vibrant colors for anything. One of them just gorged on this “trend” and all the rest of them followed suite eating the slop.
It’s gotten to the point now where you don’t even need to look at the inaccuracies with something, you just need to look at the colors to tell if it’s AI or not.
