          That’s pretty fucking vague. Would you care to elaborate. It seems someone made it for a very specific situation and it delivers the message well. It’s not like it some fantasy photo of a cat with three heads. It is a meme that people use to communicate an idea. That seems to be the opposite of slop to me.

            That’s where you’re wrong, and why it’s slop. No one made it, it was made by a computer program designed to plagiarize actual creators. It’s not like there’s AI slop and AI not-slop, it’s just slop all the way down.

            Just curious though, AI aside, why would a fantasy photo of a cat with three heads somehow be less intrinsically valuable than whatever-the-fuck stupid reaction meme we’re currently taking about?

              Oh, I see where the disconnect is, you think all AI is inherently evil and useless, while I think it can have use and moral value. So no point in continuing this conversation since nothing I say will penetrate your anti AI bias.

                How do you know, you haven’t even tried? And you didn’t answer my other question which is unrelated to AI completely. How does a meme picture hold more value than a non-meme picture?

                Tbf, I think AI could have a moral value, but in order to be worth it, that value has to outstrip all the bullshit that has come along with it. The moral value has to be more important than shareholder value, and that’s simply never going to happen. 🤷‍♂️
