this isnt a shitpost. this is a shit fucking post. fuck ai. how can people still not tell, its so damn obv and uglyy 😭😭
it’s always so washed out, every. single. AI. IMAGE. regardless of style they all look washed out and flat. there’s zero vibrant colors for anything. One of them just gorged on this “trend” and all the rest of them followed suite eating the slop.
It’s gotten to the point now where you don’t even need to look at the inaccuracies with something, you just need to look at the colors to tell if it’s AI or not.
We’ll take you on Starlight tours instead, honest injun!
(apparently my brain forgot the “visit” part of the meme and I typed this up thinking that it was about moving here)
It was difficult to get into Canada when I immigrated ten years ago (it was deeply complicated even as a sponsored individual), and I hear it’s even more difficult now. It’s a shame, because I know that the idea of escaping to Canada is a hopeful thing for many Americans. I was extremely fortunate. However, the housing shortage alone and a general anti-American sentiment has cast a huge shadow on new entries. Canadians remain as friendly as ever, but trust between them and Americans is also at an all-time low. People at work know I’m American and they love hearing my take on everything, but I don’t spread that information to new ears anymore.
I suppose it might be cool for Canada to do a 2-for-1 swap, where they send Texas pairs of whiny, privileged conservatives in exchange for good, left-leaning Americans who actually want to be here.
Clearly AI slop
What does that mean? I’m unfamiliar with AI. Does that mean a human instructed an AI to make that pic or was it cranked out by the AI itself, programmed to scour and use news items from the digital world?
The former, I don’t believe the tech is up for the latter for another six months
…
This makes it sound like sending you to concentration camps with due process is fair game lol
gtfo with your slop
How did you identify it? I didn’t catch this one and I want to get better at it
Piss filter, distinct style.
The style used did it for me. It seems distinct for at least one popular engine (chatgpt?) as it pops up everywhere. Especially the face and hands.
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!!!
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!!!
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.
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
pay attention to how intentional things are. nothing in this picture is motivated. the man has his arm raised, but not in a welcoming manner, more like he’s saying hi. he also isnt looking at the viewer. there is also no discernable landmark or important features. the only other thing is a bus, which doesnt have a door on the right, which i dont know about you, but every bus ive seen in north America has the door on the right.
a real advertisement for Canada would likely ask you to visit or experience something about Canada, like a national park or iconic building in a city, or have a recognizable public figure. it absolutely would not bring up something objectively negative like being deported in the same space as an invitation to visit.
all im saying is that, there is a basic language to art and this reads like an alien that is aware that there are rules but does not understand why there are rules nor how they operate
I did not think about the landmark thing!!! That’s such a good point!!! I honestly read the hand position as a polite “hey there” but that might be my autism, but it does make sense what you said!! Thank you I’ll try to see the bigger “picture” of what the intent of a piece would be and if the drawing is actually attempting to do it, that’s a really good point and something AI will not be able to fulfill any time soon!
While I know this is slop and think your explanations for why you can tell are sound. You’re mixing in arguments for why this couldn’t be a real ad, and that’s a separate argument. I think the assumption is much more likely to be that it’s a human made meme and not a real ad.
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
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!
Ai slop ugh
“unless your work involves drawing stuff, in which case fuck off”
Not to take away from my neighbor Canadia or anything but in fact in every country except the U.S. and El Salvador you can enjoy the benefit of not being thrown in a Salvadoran gulag, try harder Canadia
Do not test us or we will throw you in Saskatchewan! A fate worse than death and — now that you ask — no, there is no escape. You will pray to the god who has forgotten you to be released to hell. Spoiler alert: you will wake up in Saskatchewan.
“great advertise”? What language is that?
Slop
Fixed 👌.
Tag it as GenAi so people can filter this Ai slop!
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 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.
I see now. I was still on the fence about it, thinking it could also be someone’s drawing trying to emulate those travel agencies ass style, but the 45° or direct angle at the camera is so true
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.
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?
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.
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)?
In the First image, there’s a yellow tint that chatgpt absolutely loves to always apply to everything. White is never white
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.
I think, ChatGPT usually produces those. Very recognisable, and remind me of one comic artist that also makes characters with eerie smiles, simplified style, but also very dark humour and traumas. Can’t remember their name, though.
chatgpt makes sense considering how prevalent it is
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.
It seems to spit this out whenever you ask for comic style. I couldn’t tell you exactly what it is.
The colors in a lot of AI images are very yellow
Unlike humans an AI probably wouldn’t make a mistake like “El Salvadorian”
Last I check, Canada isn’t accepting asylum applications from Americans, because having a wannabe dictator for president is apparantly not a good enough reason to be granted asylum.
Because Canada says “move to a state that is less terrible”, which is not entirely untrue, but also not entirely true.
ChatGPT-generated images are getting yellower by the day LOL
In a different AI comic conversation someone used the term “slop sepia” and I hope it catches on.
The term, not the slop
What’s crazy is I instantly clocked it as AI slop just from the thumbnail, and I’m not even wearing my glasses.
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.
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.
nah, the poster is in Mexico, that’s just the Mexico filter
What if I deserve due process? Thank you AI slop
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.
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.
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.
It’s the style of drawing, probably stolen from stock websites like this https://sozai-good.com/illust/person/mother/44455
You could literally look at the pines at the bottom
