ai slop
I can’t even figure out what I’ve noticed about these things, and it pisses me off that it rings a false positive whenever I read newspaper comics
Line weight. The round eyes. The color. The exact same smile. Same angles to the viewer. 45 or direct… There are so many telltale signs.
There’s also no door on the bus
it’s a trap! They throw you in the bus and weld the door shut! #theGulagIsTheBus
Sure. That’s an AI mistake. I was naming general thematic and design attributes, but composition and content also inform the aware viewer.
When everyone starts using the same style, it’s either everyone’s hiring the same artist (unlikely) or they used AI.
There is a mathematic perfection that our brains easily recognize even if we can’t articulate it. The human brain is unmatched at the task of visual pattern recognition.
Honestly the silver lining with all this is how innately obvious it is what it is currently.
Literally just reeks of the same level of effort as someone making a meme out of clipart or one of those boomers that uses that fancy Facebook status feature.
If you need to generate a hero image to make your witty tweet good enough to share, maybe go back to the drawing board
I’m old. Help me not fall victim to AI slop again. How could you tell it was AI?
it’s the exact same style used in almost all ai slop comics lately. you can tell by face alone; it’s almost identical in all of them, even with different features (like facial hair).
So these are 2 images I asked AI for, which are admittedly terrible. But beyond that, I’m unsure of the distinguishing features that pegs it as AI. Any guidance (other than never make these images again - for obvious reasons)?
no, I don’t know what you used but this is not what I’m talking about. you can find inconsistencies, colors that don’t make sense, a whole set of issues but that’s AI in general.
what I’m talking about a very specific style that vaguely apes the ligne claire style of comics, adding an old paper filter and completely lacking soul. they can have zero “errors” and still be recognizable because they are so exact and eerily similar in their style. there’s a difference between a person drawing in a particular style and a machine emulating it.
You can see these comics on Lemmy from time to time, although it might be getting less common since it gets negative comments every time. I’m pretty sure they come from one particular comic generator. or possibly multiple that use the same underlying model.
They have the same soulless faces, usually very limited and recognizable facial expressions. i recently saw one with dinosaurs and even they had the exact facial expressions that I’ve seen in other AI slop comics. they also have the same faux lettering font for text.
In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white
If you look at the details, there are signs, like structures or geometry that don’t make sense or aren’t aligned properly. Things an artist with intent would have no reason to draw that way.
There isn’t a real way to tell anymore other then using ai detector (there are a few free websites). What people are referring to is the specific style chatgpt uses by default when making comics. They are currently the best for generating comics with text, but they overlay their style so the hate isn’t directed towards them. We are very close to having open source tools that can generate full comic pages with text in whatever style asked of it.
The colors in a lot of AI images are very yellow
In this case:
- this comic artstyle is very characteristic of AI, down to the line weight, facial expression (these soulless eyes and smile), and how the character is positioned;
- the bus has no door;
- the picture has a yellow-ish tint, which has been plaguing certain AI image generators ever since the AI Ghibli trend. They likely overtrained their slop machines on Studio Ghibli works and various other “cozy” artstyles/pictures.
Unlike humans an AI probably wouldn’t make a mistake like “El Salvadorian”
ChatGPT-generated images are getting yellower by the day LOL
What’s crazy is I instantly clocked it as AI slop just from the thumbnail, and I’m not even wearing my glasses.
It just all has a kind of bland sameyness to it all that once you see it you can spot it immediately in subsequent images.
My conspiracy theory is that OpenAI makes their generated images easy to recognize so that they can filter them out for learning when scraping pages.
nah, the poster is in Mexico, that’s just the Mexico filter
In a different AI comic conversation someone used the term “slop sepia” and I hope it catches on.
The term, not the slop
Can someone please get that slop outta my face?
If you insist on posting Ai slop outside of the dedicated Ai communities please at least tag it so people can filter Ai slop out.
How do you know they knew it was AI?
Probably could have left out the words “without due process” because they should not be throwing people into an El Salvadorian gulag.
I thought it was part of the joke
Idk it kinda feels like the implication is that if you have due process, then this would be okay. I’m firmly in the camp that nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason
nobody should be shipped to an El Salvador Gulag for any reason
With this I agree.
I don’t see it implied to be ok, this contradiction of something that is not normal being part of an ‘advertisement’ was what I found funny
I’m not even going to look at it, I can tell it’s ai slop from the thumbnail.
I don’t even know what it is. Ive stared at it for at least a solid two minutes looking for errors. It screams AI to me but I cant find that detail that proves it. I hate that this is what sharing pictures online has become. Scrutinizing every little detail to see if I should care or not.
Scrutinizing every little detail to see if I should care or not.
You don’t have to do that? It’s only a picture, the world won’t end if you upvote something made by AI.
Yeah same, I think a human artist would have put a door on that bus. But it’s not proof.
There’s nothing about this image that can tell you with certainty that it’s AI generated, but it’s an art style that has been popular with AI generated images recently, probably due to the simplicity, which makes it harder for it to make mistakes. The trend means that a lot of junk has been showing up with this style and people have a negative association with it now.
You could literally look at the pines at the bottom
What if I deserve due process? Thank you AI slop
“unless your work involves drawing stuff, in which case fuck off”
We will, however, throw you into an El Salvadorian gulag with due process!
:/
Clearly AI slop
gtfo with your slop
How did you identify it? I didn’t catch this one and I want to get better at it
uniform line weight, creamy yellow ground, font and text placement.
The font and text placement are indeed really big giveaways, I thought it was weird that the text didn’t follow the angle of the drawing, and the font is so uninspiring and meh, also the line thickness, that’s so true too!! Thank you!!!
it just the default gpt art style.
I’ve luckily not seen it before, I guess my little bubble has very little AI content? Most of the memes I see are the typical old web nonsense so maybe it is indeed luck
They all have this exact art style, you’ll start to see it everywhere.
All the AI drawings have a grainy piss-yellow tone, idk why but it makes the identification easier
Huh I’ll def keep that in mind!! I didn’t hear about that before, thank you!!!
Not to shame you, but how could you not, first thing I was going to say was get this fucking AI bullshit off this website but said it for me
I had my suspicions, but I also thought “is this really AI or someone who isn’t good at drawing?” I’m a furry so I see a lot of people who draw, but don’t do it that well and sometimes the drawings look clean, but clearly fucked up because the artist doesn’t know what they’re doing, and with digital media you can use tools to draw perfect circles and smooth lines to hide the lack of experience and knowledge super easily
Who has ever seen a yellow Canada tour bus? Pretty much the only yellow busses in US and Canada are for school.
I’ve never seen Canadian buses, I thought it was another thing they copied from the US, they are influenced by them a lot and I’ve never been to Canada myself so I couldn’t know, but it makes sense
The trees on the left are strangely offset upwards, there is a line down the windshield which I have never seen on a bus like that, the bus also does not have a door at the front, which they typically do, and to a lesser degree that yellow looks like it belongs to a school bus, while this clearly isn’t one
True!! The trees don’t make sense going up there, it looks a bit like an attempt to scale them, but it doesn’t work at all, also the bus door being missing only works because the glass bends down as if there was a lower section there, but without a door it makes no sense (altho a bus not having a door there is possible, just came back from Chile and the tourism buses had the door in the middle, not on the front) and you’re the second person I read mentioning the yellow bus, that is def something I would never pick up, here in Brazil we don’t have those yellow school buses, so it never became that hard association for me
I sent them a simple private message that says AI slop is gross
Weird, I haven’t gotten the message yet, I wonder if my app is missing that feature, I’ll look into it, thanks!
…
This makes it sound like sending you to concentration camps with due process is fair game lol
I always respected that Canada is open to almost everyone…
Except if you have a DUI
I knew a lady that was a Canadian citizen but lived and worked in Seattle. She got a DUI in the US and they won’t let her go back into Canada until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
I dunno, DUI is serious, you could kill someone. Maybe it is a long and expensive process to make sure people will remember it and not drive while being drunk?
I always figured it was a good line in the sand telling some Americans, they are not welcome
drunk driving is serious and I respect that they treat it as such
Looking at their rules for it, it actually seems kinda fucked: One bad choice years ago bars you for life unless you are wealthy enough to go through their process and hire lawyers, it’s a even crime to try and enter, but that is definitely not a widely known fact, so even though someone might have paid their dues and even been completely sober for years, they’re still fucked unless they’re well off.
I get wanting to protect people and stop dangerous driving but effectively banning someone for life if they made a mistake and happen to be poor seems a bit unfair. You can bet your ass rich people have all sorts of ways around this that completely circumvent the system anyhow on top of all that.
As usual, it’s another regulation that disproportionately affects poor people who are unable to afford proper legal representation to begin with (and are more likely to be falsely convicted of a DUI in the first place).
Um source on the lifetime thing? My understanding is that it’s more like 7 or 10 years, but also that the border agent has some discretion. I had a DUI quite some time ago and went to Canada around the 7 year mark without any trouble, lawyers, etc.
Did you visit before 2018? It sounds like things changed then and it’s more of a lifetime thing now. See the “Deemed Rehabilitation” section here: https://www.canadaduientrylaw.com/
Looks like it was summer 2019.
Which rules are you referring to?
The Canadian one that states you can’t come to their country with a DUI unless you go through their reportedly expensive and time consuming process?
Do you have a link?
No but it’s easy enough to find. If you are doubting me and genuinely curious, go find it! In fact, if you doubt what I have to say, you should definitely look it up for yourself instead of taking my word for it.
So, no forgiveness? What if you went dry? Gave up drinking?
until she completes the long and expensive process that they require for DUI offenders.
Sounds like there’s a path to forgiveness, it’s just not cheap or easy. Which, why should it be? She drove under the influence and could have killed someone.
I wasn’t speaking about anyone in particular in this case.
Then in general, why should it be cheap and/or easy for anyone who does it?
That’s ridiculous. You can deny someone a driving licence, but you can’t deny them entry to the country they’re a citizen of.
Sounds like my ex… From Seattle. Does the word “Ace” mean anything to you?
tall blonde?
Tall brunette, striking blue eyes. She did dye it blonde before I knew her.
if the saloon was a regular hangout in pioneer square, we might know that same crazy lady
She shares the last name of a star player on the Kraken and is related to him.
Is there still a chance you’ll send me to a Salvadorian prison with due process?
I mean, the chance is never zero but it’s gotta be damn close
Well, I think it depends on how many crimes you committed in El Salvador.
We liked your country so much we took a piece home with us to remember you by!
