Doesn’t anyone here know that the Death Note (1) curses all those who use it with misfortune and (2) will trap your soul in limbo after use?

Nah, I’m good. Tweezers and a matchstick.

Obviously only for important cases, like compiling custom insults into sudo. :)

Did you see Mozart’s new concerto?

Everyone’s speculating so I’ll put in something concrete:

About 3 months ago, r/wholesomememes mods clamped down on karma-farm bots as hard as they could…

causing no new posts to appear for two entire days.

Hey there friends! It’s only been a few days since we started cracking down on the spam bots and excessive reposts that have been plaguing r/WholesomeMemes - and now there is nothing left! –mod

Did somebody say Inferno?

erasure edit: ok nvm, thanks

Getting mangoed and eating a stone.

Interesting, 18 up and 16 down as of this comment. Because this started with ~2 downvotes (the first image had terrible jpeg for a few minutes), we either have

1. my taste did not land
2. early downvotes beget more downvotes

this comment is here for notetaking. let’s see if i’m a moron or if iambs are stronger than herds.

That’s an interesting perspective actually

Maybe it’s because of who’s giving them? If my little cousin gave me an AI Christmas card, I’d be happier than if a stranger gave me one on the street. (Though I’d feel bummed if they didn’t even marker in a single custom sentence)

i.e. higher standards of creativity/effort from a stranger than from a family member.

Also the stranger isn’t stuffing a tenner in the card lmao

its 3am and i laughed my ass off. why?

Master manipulator. Needs to be contained

Ty for feedback :>

Your paragraph read well. I definitely agree – grammar with risks, outside of hyper-formal sitches, is just stylized diction. ChatGPT could scarcely come up with an e.e. cummings poem (just tested now, it never gets the style about right), nor dare to abuse parentheses, nor remove cruft for conciseness (e.g. to start a sentence with “Kind of changed” instead of “This kind of changes” for compression (woot)). It’s a “wrong” but not quite “wrong”, and I’m glad that “riskless” manages to carry that feeling

And I edit a lot too :) it’s the “post-email-send clarity” effect

Make your data useless or wrong.

More passively, there’s probably an oddly large amount of John Does born on January 1, 2000 ;)

More offensively, anti-image-gen data poisoning such as Nightshade exists. It’s well-defended against IIRC so hopefully someone can Cunningham’s Law correct me. And this is also more solo of a movement (as opposed to gaining mass support for something)

SQL sanitization joke. Won’t affect most databases today.

edit: updated accordingly for clarity

Ah, I mean proper grammar as in formal, largely riskless grammar. For example, AI wouldn’t connect

monolingual + educated + have access to technology

with pluses, like a human would.

Not sure how I’d phrase that though. Maybe “perfect, risklessly formal grammar” as I just tried to call it? (i.e. if AI trainers consider using +‘es a “risk”, as opposed to staying formal and spick n’ span clean).

Perfect grammar is humanly possible but there is some scrutiny that can be applied to GPT-style grammar, especially in the context of the casually-toned web (where 100%ed grammar isn’t strictly necessary!).

I believe Inkscape has some interaction with tkinter, which binds python to Tcl/tk

I… I put effort in…

Edit: What about an ivory leg?

I’m not sure I agree but I’m happy to discuss! :)

Why are you calling my statement “selective memory” (am I intentionally excluding something?), and what do you mean by “way worse”? Do you consider unskilled art as not art at all (i.e. “so-called”)?

What I was trying to say, is that on social media, skilled artists formerly dominated attention (likes, upvotes) because viewers wanted well-constructed, pleasing-to-the-eye artwork. I wasn’t trying to say that they were the only art posters (sorry for my wording!). Continuing, now that AI is in the arena, “technically-decent” art is no longer the lower bound for pleasurable-to-see – now, viewers are more partial to knowing that a human was vulnerable when they expressed themselves with art.

It’s an intensification of internet-ugly aesthetic, which Douglas (2014) called "an imposition of messy humanity upon an online world of smooth gradients, blemish correcting Photoshop, and AutoCorrect” (p. 314). Now, online, handmaking art at all is a declaration of humanity, because you could corporately fake something full-colored and intricate, but arguably soulless, with lower effort.

Of course, I’ll try to take it from your perspective. I’ve seen really bad human art (I like art!), and I’ve seen less-artifacted AI art (have you ever seen Even_Adder’s generations on lemmy.dbzer0? they don’t have the overshading issue at all). Of course, some may disagree that the latter is art (is art only human expression?), but supposing I do consider the latter art, my point still stands – viewers are more on the lookout for genuineness now.

Happy to see what you think!
