Nope

Was it not called slop because it wasn’t pleasant to consume, just like slop?

Again: not what I said. I’m saying that the intent behind so-called “AI art” starts and ends with the used prompt.

Yeah you didn’t and that’s why I responded with my comment saying that’s not the case. I wasn’t recapping you.

Not what I said. Any detail in human art is there because a human put it there. It’s a form of (sometimes involuntary) communication that computers lack.

I don’t understand which part you’re saying you didn’t say. Regardless, with the ai art just because ai fills in the details does that subtract from what the creator intended to communicate?

In total honesty it is rare for me to feel this (seemingly unconscious) communication you keep talking about which is why I called it magical thinking. Sometimes, some media does make me think things about its author due to the way it is made (as opposed to its explicit contents) but that meda is almost never internet memes. And while I don’t use ai art myself I also try not to be swayed into the love-hate cycles the internet goes through with every new thing.

Hence why I (and apparently hundreds of other people) didn’t have an issue with this meme. It is not lacking anything I normally find in this genre. I can see that there’re also tons of people opposed to ai generated memes but I think the way that opposition is framed is often dishonest.

which leads to tangible problems in the real world

Then please comment about the tangible problems instead of falling back on the tried and true ‘slop’. I agree that ai art is bad for artists and it is a problem that needs to be solved before it’s too late. But that has nothing to do with how it looks or what it communicates

Edit: tweaks

Is the link you gave actually the ‘source’ of this image? Couldn’t oop have thought of this independently but didn’t think to give the child a particular facial expression?

I can’t disagree that it is distict from human made art in a way that everyone here can tell. But I can’t see anything in the post that would warrant it to be called slop if not for the context of ai, and personally I think it’s iffy to say it loses to the link you posted.

I think criticizing the looks of ai, especially with posts like this that don’t look half bad is people concealing other concerns they have regarding ai in a nudge nudge wink wink way and I wish it would stop.

I just tried this and it seems mostly fixed? Focus changes on button down but the window is raised on button up

“Putting a piece of yourself” is magical thinking to me. Ai makes mistakes too and when it does people rant endlessly about how useless it is and that is what people used to call ‘slop’. If a human making the mistake makes it desirable instead then this is once again not the reason but a justification.

If I prompt an AI “Make a funny comic”

But that’s the issue, you don’t know what oop prompted to make this. They could have been arbitrarily simple or elaborate with what they asked and you couldn’t tell beyond that they were happy with this result enough to post it. And I’d argue the amount of intent in a prompt is still independent of its length as they could’ve tried longer descriptions and found that the results of shorter ones align with what they seek better.

I choose to believe the joke came from them and given that this is an internet meme that exists to deliver the joke, I don’t dwell on the visuals.

I see what they’re saying but I don’t think they put it right, and I don’t think it applies to this post either way.

Intent is a concious thought. Just because the artist had an intent while making the art doesn’t imbue every detail with the intent. Every subconsious microdecision doesn’t necessarily align with the artist’s intent and neither could I hope to extract meaningful information from them. I can only understand what the artist intentionally put in there. But I get what they’re saying, there are countless conscious decisions an artist makes while making their thing.

Needless to say artistic value isn’t measured by the amount of intent. It does makes sense that the guy above meant intent when they said value though

Anyhow, IMO the visuals of a meme is the last place to seek artistic intent. Especially with these ‘joke with visual assist’ kinds of memes the grand majority of artisitc intent is the joke with the visuals being a tool to adapt it to a visual medium. If anything I think the visuals of this meme have more artistic intent than the recurring characters of a webcomic strip telling a joke to each other.

Hence to me “The lack of artistic value/intent” seems to be more of a justification for not liking ai art (edit: meant this post specifically, not ai art in general), not the reason of it

What do you mean by artistic value?

Ai i can see but what makes this ‘slop’? Other than that those words go together?

Every time I face a weird bug that I can find no reference to online it turns out to be caused by a native linux build. I’ve seen the linux port work well only in factorio and some other game that I can’t remember.

Is it still winging?

I can read this at like 1/3 rd the speed of normal text

Who’s ‘much larger’ than ea?

Wine wayland wooo

Edit: or… Maybe not? Will try and report back

Edit 2: Nope

Edit 3: Installed wayland enabled proton to try. If the game doesn’t crash, screen scaling doesn’t work and nether do controllers, steam overlay or hdr. Definitely not ready

Designated park space

We can’t have that

Might be game specific. I don’t know how to solve the issue but maybe you could try opening the game in a different virtual desktop and switching desktops and see if that causes it. Or press the meta key and see if that causes it too

That’s surprisingly new. Wonder what causes the incompatibility

Witcher 2. The game. Assasins of kings. Letho captures Triss at the end of act 1 to get away and Geralt can recue her on act 3. Yennefer is only ever mentioned in name. Please look things up before condescending

How does powering on an ssd help keep the data? Can it refresh without causing wear equivalent to a rewrite?

Edit: Apparently erasing is what causes wear, not writing

W2 was spent looking for her the entire game

Witcher 2 was spent looking for Triss not Yennefer.

The books are canon for the games, yes

And I said maybe they shouldn’t be because warping the game story to fit the books is what I’m complaining about in the first place.

If you were fine with how w3 handled Yen before reading the books good for you. But it was not at all clear for me and that’s all I said. Sorry for being brash but it is obnoxious to then get comments preaching about how Yennefer is objectively right for Geralt and Triss is just fan service and the game itself favoring Yen would make sense if only I were to read the books
