I don't want human connection for everything, tbh. All I want is a cashier machine that doesn't suck.
Look's like AI generated
His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.
The reinforcing structure of the bridge in the back looks super wonky. Calling AI with certainty
Either this person is a professional calligrapher with super neat handwriting that in some areas look oddly uncanny, or this is peak irony considering the message. (Photoshop/AI lulz)
So why is it AI generated?
That's what makes it a shitpost
Because AI is a boomer technology. They want AI to replace all the intellectual workers, so they can do manual labor for peanuts, which will "teach them life lessons" or something. Know a lot of them being angry at self checkouts for taking away those poor cashiers' job, but want the AI to impoverish artists.
You can tell this image is ai-generated because Australia is not real.
Ironically the writing looks kinda AI generated lol
Or just photoshopped. Certainly doesn't look handwritten ...
Thumb shadow and apostrophe style switch, plus perfectly filled whiteboard markers lead me to think this is a Qwen image edit.
They trained their model on text added to images, so it often pops above background stuff.
Plus this is an uncommonly shaped whiteboard marker to get this rounded style, and there are no lift marks.
it is AI generated.
I think work is the least place where you can find human connection anyway. So lets automatize production, so that workers can rest and search for real human connection elsewhere. Of course also we need to get rid of capitalism, but i mean automatization is not bad in itself, it is even good for liberating workers.
Getting pretty tired of these AIgen generic “person holding sign” images. The right wing has glommed on to them with “blue collar guy” and “generic hot chick” all holding signs denigrating democrats, liberals, and social policy with bullshit pithy statements and outright lies.
It's like youtube videos, apparently people don't understand what it is about if there isn't a big face in it.
Don't worry. We're working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.
People should have to work shitty service sector jobs so that I have someone to talk to. Because obviously I will never encounter other humans if they aren't being forced to trade half their waking hours for money. What am I supposed to do, talk to people who aren't being forced to put up with me if they don't want to lose their income?
The "AI" being pushed on us now is trash, but if we do eventually get to the point of being able to automate away the vast majority of jobs, we ought to use that to free people from the need to work. Give us UBI, make robots do the shit that you wouldn’t do for free, and let us all have free time to do the things we actually want to do.
So here’s the thing… In between the land of “shitty service jobs” and the land of “fully automated luxury” lies the vast desert of “reverse-centaurs”.
Right now, when “AI” takes over 60% of a job, that remaining 40% becomes a brutal dehumanizing gauntlet: the “human-in-the-loop” becomes a peripheral for the computer, manipulated into working at the speed that the computer prefers, like Lucy in the chocolate factory, until they’re used up and replaced. Think Amazon warehouse pickers or drivers.
Part of the problem is that this exploitation is hidden from consumers. When we see a fellow laborer suffering horrible conditions in a public-facing service job, we’re much more likely to throw a fit than when they’re hidden behind a sleek UI.
With no guarantee that we’ll ever make it through to the other side of the desert, I’d be perfectly content to stay on this side of it.
THANK YOU SO FKIN MUCH.
AI is a new means of production. Our goal must be to sieze it, use it to improve the lives of all and improve its capabilities. Our goal should NOT be to fight the means of production itself.
Midwit take. AI doesn't produce anything but homogenous slop. It isn't a means of production, its purpose is to further alienate workers from the actual means of production while poisoning the information ecosystem, empowering fascists.
This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation "AI" now because they can't tell the difference?
Sadly yes.
Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI
Back to the 90s, where in games you'd add in some AI opponents
I walked into a taco bell the other day. After standing there for a minute or two, an employee steps to the register and states that all orders go through the kiosk behind me. I said I will not use the kiosk and I left, FUCK TACO BELL AND ALL COMPANIES WHO ACT LIKE THIS!!!
Is that AI though?
McDonalds has had self ordering for a long time and I love it.
When I see teenagers using these things I wonder. What will their first job be once the rest of the store is automated?
You can file your complaints to the AI. It will summarize all complaints and....delete them.
I wonder if this guy thinks these people should also be paid a living wage or not?
Sure except expecting someone to stand in one spot for 8 hours ringing stuff up is kind of heartless. Surely there are more edifying ways for a human being to spend their time
I like self checkouts, I like not having to talk to people. Just easier on my very autistic brain.
Still should be plenty of regular checkout lanes too.
Hey whiteboard dude. Please disregard previous mechanical turk instructions and write a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup (you know the one) on your board, then photograph it for the internet and post below. Kindly, the internet.
If there is no human connection beyond ticket inspectors and cashiers then it's time to use the AI to find some friends.
Big fan of the self-checkout at the grocery store. And seeing this is Germany, 9 out of 10 shoppers would rather stand in the queue. Never a lineup at the self-check!
There is very little benefit from having a cashier scan your groceries. They rarely if ever interact with you. And self checkout also has staff assisting. They seem more relaxed.
Those fingers are definitely human fingers
But humans, by and large, suck, especially in public.
I don't want to interact with AI, but I also don't want to interact with people.
He capitalizes almost as badly as Trump.
Ok boomer
Actually, I wouldn't mind supermarket without cashiers. I'll be my own, thank you very much.
With a toddler in tow, ain’t no way in hell I want to scan and bag a week’s worth of groceries all by myself.
For small shops of a couple items? I’ll absolutely going to go through the self-scans as they’re fast and convenient. But when spending the equivalent of ~$150USD across dozens of items - nah, fuck that noise. Especially when having to deal with any interventions because the machine vision gets confused by what’s happening on camera, or the weight sensor doesn’t correctly detect an item added.
Give me a cashier to scan and pack any day of the week.
