I love the term “AI slop”. It really captures how I feel about a lot of AI generated content.
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s rare that the bullshit from tech companies is so quickly identified packaged and labeled like that (even if we are still calling it “AI”).
I really despise the fake images and stories that get taken up and spread. Then they get called out and shown to be fake and people don’t care, they say pretty much what you see here:
I don’t care if it’s fake, it feels real, so I’m going to treat it like it’s real.
That last sentence isn’t even an exaggeration. I’ve seen that almost verbatim.
We’ve gone from alternative facts to alternative reality.
Alternative Facts Deluxe™ - Now with pictures!
Honestly, I would have someone on staff to respond to every comment/lie about no one coming to help them with a reminder that it’s their own representatives that are keeping them in this state. Their representatives would rather make ai pictures depicting a sad child, than do something for an actual child.
This is so fucking infuriating. People’s lives are being ruined so the dems can have a “loss.” What the actual fuck is wrong with the people we give power to.
The gangsters figured out you can just use capitalism instead of law-breaking to make obscene amounts of money.
I don’t think there exists a single capitalist that made an obscene amount of money without breaking laws
What the actual fuck is wrong with the people we give power to.
Change that to “why the fuck do we have to keep picking others to have power over our own lives?” and you might start getting somewhere.
Power corrupts.
Capitalism and its electoral politics (the extra steps it has taken from feudalism, that is nothing more than theatre to appease the masses) has always existed to concentrate, and then maintain, power in the hands of a few. Once someone has such power they will never give it up willingly.
As long as there is hierarchy, there will be inequality. Which is why our system enforces hierarchy so avidly.

Can people honestly not tell when something is heavily edited? Those pictures look extremely fake :/ I guess too many people are accustomed to thinking snapchat filters make people look real…it all looks fake and horrid to me.
One of the points the article makes is that people boost such content despite knowing it’s fake because it confirms what they’re ’feeling’. Want to feel outrage? Here’s an image that will let you and others feel that. Truth? Irrelevant.
In short: it’s the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ crowd doing what they do best: recasting reality as a jumble of vague feelings.
Many people can’t, seriously.
Bad faith actors are always there to milk these algos…
Probably upset about her bizarre huge cauliflower ear.
I’m more worried about the weird white bump on her right cheek, and the short left arm on the blurry person standing in the background boat.
For me it’s the weird, protuberant nipple in the center of the dog’s belly and the fact that the girl looks like she belongs in a 1990s commercial for cold medicine.
I feel like somebody, maybe a Technician, could conjoin this with another viral photo from this week, to “show” her and her puppy cowering under a jumping Elon. Since it’s really his platform that’s causing her pain, and even her existence.
Or the fact her face looks like it’s melting like butter.
Right cheek bump is right shoulder silver reflector lol
I don’t see how this is any different than a strawman political cartoon. It’s a misleading image created to ratchet up people’s emotions. Like it’s bad, but is it a new kind of bad? I’m not so sure.
The cartoon plays with the emotions like the ai image, but the important difference is that people won’t mistake the cartoon for documentation of something that happened.
The cartoon is a fairy tale, that AI image is a lie - the distinction is important.
I could be losing it, but it looks like freezing rain also. Can see some of the ice on her hair and the seats look iced over.
