ai, didn't read.brilliant.

@renwillis @gbargoud @PeachMcD The problem I run into most these days though is that I can't 100% tell if something is AI if it's not the basic Computer Graphic Average From 2015 style.
There was this old painting meme going around a few days ago I just couldn't get a proper read on. I couldn't find an original and the image had certifiably been online for only few weeks.

@Mimesatwork @renwillis @PeachMcD

If it was the hippo farting fire one, the actual artist was eventually found and posted there.

@gbargoud @renwillis @PeachMcD LOL it wasn't but god you have to link me to that one I'm begging you

It's this one (I'm not up on my art history so I can't investigate based on that). I saved the image to try edge detect, but obviously if the quality is poor enough to start with, it's not going to be conclusive

@renwillis

MORE THINGS FOR T-SHIRTS.

YES.

@Mimesatwork @renwillis @PeachMcD

That was a difficult one because the quality was too high to be AI art but the subject matter was truly ridiculous in the best ways

@renwillis@mstdn.social ngl, this sounds like one of the few things that would be good to bring over from Threads.

@gbargoud @renwillis @PeachMcD That's truly amazing! Thank you! This is what the internet is really about

@Mimesatwork

I see a "I louvre art memes" watermark on it which could be a good place to investigate.

I think it's probably legit, putting text on an existing painting is so much easier than getting an AI generation of a painting that looks good/consistent and I expect the person who made it took the lower effort route

@gbargoud Yeah I tried looking for that and only came up with a FB group that's either a closed or no longer exists. And I would totally agree that just taking an actual painting would be the easiest, but the fact that I couldn't find anything online (I wanted to credit the original painting) just got my AI-senses tingling

Tbf, as time goes on, the worse my ai-sense gets

@renwillis @mhoye I always parsed "tldr" as "too long died reading", so this would be "AI; died reading" for me.

And yeah. It works.

@renwillis slop;dr

@PhieLaidMignon oh totally. thank you

@renwillis

DONE

@renwillis this all sounds very good but

People use Threads?

@renwillis

Yes but *any* interaction on those sites boosts the post.

Your intent is irrelevant, you're helping them.

Just block. First and always.

@adaddinsane yes & no. I know folks who inadvertently and/or mistakenly shared AI generated content.

Let's not assume ill intent. It's getting very hard to know the difference.

Educate first, then if they continue, b-bye!

@http_error_418 I know, right? Gross.

@zaire haha! but doesn't quite have the same rhythm as tl;dr

@kboyd @mhoye haha!

@renwillis oh but it does roll off the tounge quite nicely
