Itt people angrily downvoting and building head canon of me of why I don't find them clever for pointing out the obvious.

A proper unpopular opinion!

Comedy skits don't pretend to be true though. That's a big difference.

Neither does most of the infographics and whatnot. Everybody that cares can see it is generative. Everybody that can't is not bothered.

Most of the comments I see are barely nothing more than "AI SLOP!", indicating that the only purpose was for the commenter to announce that they could see it.

Or that they are fed up with AI slop invading the web.

[-] whaleross@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Alternatively they could downvote and move on instead of announcing their clever smarts with a one liner to the world like the rest of us, but alas...

[-] Mesophar@pawb.social 5 points 3 weeks ago

They don't comment "AI slop" as a shorthand for "I'm so clever, I saw this is AI".

They comment it as explicit, negative feedback to the poster. Though you can still be annoyed by it.

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.

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/
