So it's AI. is it true AI, or hallucinatory AI? nt LAS14 Jun 2025 #1

There's absolutely no good reason to create or circulate AI slop.

We've all seen the stories about Stephen Miller's wife and Elon Musk. This adds nothing to them.

I’m old enough to remember when little old men and their wives at the supermarket swore those kinds of pictures had to be real. It’ll be alright.

This one is pretty funny.

Don't get me wrong -- I loathe and despise "AI" on nearly all fronts.

Yet, it seems like the perfect medium for anything to do with the tRump administration. No human should have to suffer the indignity of wasting their own time and talent and resources on anything pertaining to Taco Don and his carnival of bullshit and snake oil. He's not worth anything more than pure slop.

posted gives a thumbs-up to the AI bros who exploited them.

Real photos and video of Trump and his enablers are already more damning than anything you can do with AI slop. The AI slop also takes attention away from real artists, cartoonists and satirists, and from real articles about real outrages committed by the Trump regime and enablers.

It could be so much funnier, though -- like the one further down in this thread. The one in the OP is tame and boring -- if you don't know the story behind it, it makes very little sense.

An actual photograph that serves as prima facie evidence of gross criminal insanity , plain as day.



So, A.I. or no-A.I., why is this insane Russian KGB rat-kissing traitor given a pass by Corporate McPravda and the military?

PS: Thanks for another great OP, Botany! The AI-generated image tells the story -- beginning, middle and end.

PPS: I am so glad Stephen Miller's wife is off the government teat. Can't wait for Stevie the Treasonous Tacohumper to get the weaning and reaming he so justly deserves.

not need every nitwit with an image generator - and no concern about intellectual property theft and environmental damage - to have that AI tool spit out God only knows how many hopelessly flawed images on this theme till they get one that's worth posting (if they have no ethics).

REAL photographs are interesting.

REAL art or cartoons showing actual talent and a real human's take on a subject are interesting.

But a conscienceless AI user could generate and post a thousand AI-slop images on that subject, and it wouldn't add one iota to understanding it, or revealing talent or another person's take on it. AI slop is just garbage making the internet worse.
