Also you know those boomers won't stop at the hundredth image, thus all the AI services will go broke.
I think you mean "justify bigger bonuses"
Bizarre AI-generated images are currently flooding Facebook, as engagement hacks and bots run rampant on the social media platform, spawning a meme-worthy image that has been dubbed “Shrimp Jesus.”
It’s actually working, many people around me that were enthusiastic about AI are now pissed off by it thanks to all that shit.
So if bots flood db0 with terrible AI generated spam, then the db0 admins will stop being weird about AI?
... I'm not asking for any particular reason
spam is spam. We'll deal with it like any other spam.
I think all AI art is spam

Fucking hell :o
Banana?
I feel like it usually minionizes anything it touches anyways, so that's a surprisingly good fit for it.
"Potato!"
Or something. IDK, I haven't watched the movies...
I remember finding it funny and endearing when I first watched it. And then it just... never... stopped...
I think that was every normal person's experience with minions. They were funny as side characters in the film, but then the sequels and spinoffs leaned too heavily into them and the memes started and everyone with 2 braincells to rub together said "fuck this" and ignored the minion scurge to fester

I like it.
It's the "Use your kid's slang to make them realize it's garbage" reverse card.
Totally works. When I started referring to things as "skibidi" it was suddenly dropped from my kids' lexicon.
Too bad the supreme court put the dagger in artists backs for AI already. It would have been great if a company would license an artists source material to make a set of variations for a limited venue. Like a company licensing a voice actor's samples, then they get to use AI to make those characters say whatever they want, in that one movie, or that one game, based on the license.
As it is now, we're going to end up with Spruce Lee fighting Hackie Chan movies, and none of the actors or their estates will get to say shit about it.
I dont know why it upsets people. Maybe accept that it exists in the world and it only mimics real human creativity.
If there was a fish that could mimic and recreate human art would you be mad at the fish?
It's a plagarism machine that is being used to put actual artists out of work
Yeah, that's true. Humans are born knowing nothing, learn from other humans, and are then capable of making something new. Like standing on the shoulders of giants. I wonder if ML/AI is capable of that yet, or does it purely regurgitate others' work.
Plagiarism isn't real except for capitalism and the machine of capitalist innovation has been eating jobs for as long as science has existed. If this is the reason someone is upset by AI, then I would ask why they were not mad at all the jobs that came before that had been consumed.
There's no option for me to choose a copyright-free world. But, I can choose to not use (or promote or propagate) works made by "AI" owned my MASSIVE corporations in violation of the copyrights of millions of independent, often non-profit-driven content creators (including myself).
Not to mention teachers (it steals our lessons and tutoring work), writers (it steals their work and rehashes it), musicians (music generation is a thing), programmers (so many code snippets, so few coding jobs), and many more.
And if the fish did just the same, putting artists out of work, would you be just as mad that the fish exsisted?
Maybe if a fish was hooked up to a machine running terabytes (edit: actually, petabytes, probably) of stolen data through its brain, punishing it when it fails to produce similar results, until it can produce them... Then I would hate the people who did this to the fish, and the people who support them by using the fish to produce art.
Its a fish, there are millions of them. You just get one and put it an aquarium in your house and they create these works through telepathy and telekinesis.
Copyright lawsuit incoming
Okay, so how do you make minion memes with it? I have no clue myself
We could start with posting memes in the meme community...
The boomers are dead or pensioned by now
The youngest boomers are 64 still. We may be done working with them in 10 years or so but they're stubborn. The ones still working then are the ones who never could win financially or are the ones who took advantage of everyone and never learned to stop.
By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time
Meh, unlikely. Gen X doesn't have the sheer numbers to drive and sustain culture. The Boomers number something like 74,000,000 and Millennials are around 83,500,000. Meanwhile Gen X only has about 49,000,000 so we're sandwiched between two Generations that are nearly double our size.
Popular and profitable things do way more damage no matter how "uncool" they are. Boomers making minion images will only worsen the problem.
