      To the extent that the billboard never existed while the image implies it did – sure.

      I love the term ‘slop’. It’s one of my favorite new words along with ‘nontent’.

      But this, to me, isn’t that. I think of slop as ‘unrequested, unconvincing, lazy, and lifeless’. In short, ineffective and unwelcome.

      I feel like this meme gets the message across. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The AI tells are subtle enough: the multi lane pileup in the background and some poor small size text rendering.

      Not sure why I felt the need to write this. Guess I’m of the opinion that just because something is AI-generated doesn’t mean it should be discounted immediately, unless it really feels like zero effort went into it. Have a nice day!

        Yeah, I feel like there isn’t much of a difference between taking an existing picture and editing the text into it or using AI to generate a picture and editing the text into it.

        Because I think the text looks way too good to be done by AI.

          I’m fairly certain the text is AI generated too, just because of the questionable “creative” decisions that I don’t think a human would make (why does some of the text have overlines? why is only the Canada line red? why are all the lines jarringly different font sizes?)

          plus, now that I zoom in, one of the colons has different sizes for the top and bottom dots. I guess GANs can just do text now

        I mean the message is good, but the medium is, well slop.
