Itt people angrily downvoting and building head canon of me of why I don’t find them clever for pointing out the obvious.

A proper unpopular opinion!

      Indeed it is but I’m not talking about the AI Slop. I’m talking about the people that feel the need to drop that two words oneliner that does nothing and serves no other purpose than to announce that the commenter was able to spot a generated image regardless the context. Most often it is more than obvious for anybody that cares. Hence, it is the new “fake!”

        Some do though

        You’re half right. All of them do. That being said, it isn’t a fucking problem.

        OP is an absolute numpty but this point of view is utter nonsense and demonstrates an extreme lack of media comprehension skills. The point of a skit is to frame it as reality so that you can relate to the skit. There are no skits that open with anything saying “This is fake and a skit.” They assume that the viewer has enough brain cells to determine that it is a skit and then just enjoy it for what it is. Evidentally y’all have enough to narrow down that it is a skit but then you just completely lock up, point and scream fake at the top of your lungs. It’s fucking exhausting and, to me, gives me the instant visual of someone who just points at the sky and goes “IT’S BLUE” and then drools all over themselves.

      Neither does most of the infographics and whatnot. Everybody that cares can see it is generative. Everybody that can’t is not bothered.

      Most of the comments I see are barely nothing more than “AI SLOP!”, indicating that the only purpose was for the commenter to announce that they could see it.

          Alternatively they could downvote and move on instead of announcing their clever smarts with a one liner to the world like the rest of us, but alas…

            They don’t comment “AI slop” as a shorthand for “I’m so clever, I saw this is AI”.

            They comment it as explicit, negative feedback to the poster. Though you can still be annoyed by it.

    Your unpopular opinion is that users commenting nothing but “ai slop” on slop ai posts is counterproductive to the discussion, as it provides nothing of value.

    I’d argue that posting ai slop in and of itself provides nothing of value. There is nothing of value in generative ai. People are going to comment on it, because it’s bad. Get over it, I guess.

      That people are repeating the production of comment slop that existed before and will exist ever after.
