Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

How does survivorship bias apply to seeing less AI? Does it mean that it’s like hidden now or something? I don’t get the meme!! 😭
It means you've lost the ability to identify it, BC there isn't any less of it
Ahh thx 🙏
You would expect that the amount of people complaining about ai generated images would cause people to avoid using them
Nah, now they're actively taking the work of anti-AI artists, feeding them into AI, and then sending it to them.
Why?
I've definitely noticed more assholes responding with chatbot generated arguments.
And don't call it ai. Industry buzz term. Anti-labor anti-human anti-ai.
Why should i not use a term that has been in use for at least a decade? I have specifically mentioned ai generated images to not have it included with the actually useful ai
It has existed since at least the 1960s,probably earlier, and been common use among SciFi nerds since at least the 80s.
This is not ai. We do not have ai. Nothing currently extant was made with the existence of ai, because ai does not exist at present. If we ever do invent ai, you're going to look like an excitable wide eyed bigot and it's going to look cringe as fuck. In the meantime it is used to create buzz and bullshit lies to discipline labor. Contributing to that PR push by using their dishonest language is an active strike against the power of workers, organized and not. It also takes research dollars flops etc from real ai research, which used to be a thing, and would be pretty cool to have around.
I'll spare you the explanation of why it's anti human. Be a tool of the oligarchs or don't.
By "that has been in use for over a decade" i meant with the definition that includes all machine learning. I only said over a decade since the first proof of the term being used before openais gpt 3.5 that i can think of is not from 2 decades ago
There is also another definition that i know of that has existed for much longer than openais gpt 3.5 that includes a script composed of a bunch of if statements. Have you never heard of video game enemy AI?

Thank youuuuuu
This is the smartest goddamn meme I've seen this year. Do you have any idea how long this would take to fully explain to my mom? Incredible. No notes.
I'm sure I understand less than half of it
Which is more than half of what you deserve!
Proud Feet!
for me it reads:
survivor bias, ww2 south pacific combat, some anime character... and the realization that the algo doesn't send ai slop your way because even the algo is smart enough to know you aren't going to engage. but it's certainly out there, in droves. see: boomers
dunno anything about the anime tho.
I think it's supposed to be you see less AI posts because they've improved to the point that it's harder to tell what is and isn't AI.
oh I get that. It's just not the case. I despise AI and work to root it out wherever it shows it's ugly six-fingered head :D
It's just not the case.
That's literally the point of the meme: that there's a point where it's gotten good enough that you can't tell. And some models are at that point. That's why legitimate artists are now getting accused of using AI and finding it very hard to prove to people that they're not.

Have you given any consideration to the possibility that you are fallible?

There's not supposed to be a content-aware algorithm on Lemmy, is there?
The "content-aware" algorithm is people
That doesn't mean the meme is smart. It means your mom is dumb. We still love her though. 😇
A bit presumptuous of you, but how many Nerotypicals do you know who have a working base knowledge of the types of anti-aircraft countermeasures that US bombers had to deal with during world war 2? Because that's where you'd have to start.
Nerotypicals
fiddling while rome was firebombed huh?
Oh god i can't even begin to imagine how long it would take
I am still seeing a lot of it, and blocking immediately, but now I feel like I must be blocking genuine human stuff on YouTube/Instagram. Good thing the fediverse is less contaminated
I’m seeing less bc I’m playing thru all the games I ain’t played over the last however many years such as dragon age inquisition and whatnot
Hell yeah, get it 🤙
I'm also trying to play more games
May I suggest a 20+ year old CRPG made by interplay alumni who also made Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines? It's called Arcanum and it's absolute crack if you like Fallout 1 & 2, it's also notably more broken because it uses real time combat by default which is kinda annoying for mages, gunslingers, and molotov spammers.
I’ll allow it
I block people who routinely post it.
And it turns out a lot of algorithm driven platforms will stop showing it if you react overwhelmingly negatively and refuse to engage with it and I just stoped using platforms that didn’t respect the signals.
I blocked them while I could still see it.
Most of the things people make with AI lose their appeal once it's known it's fake. For that I don't understand why people bother making it then.
Seems like it's people who are incapable of making things without it, so they don't really have anything to compare it to
This may be the most upvoted post I've ever seen on lemmy
Lol you missed some big ones then, I think on one of my accounts I have a personal best of 1.6k or maybe a 1.7k post
Oh well, survivorship bias I guess
Oh. It's you.
Brilliant. Thank you
