Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I have no interest in seeing AI art either, but complaining about something you can easily and quickly fix by just blocking the community is pretty dumb.

Just block the AI communities man

What? I genuinely dont understand what you are trying to say

Posting large numbers of failed [thing] is adding to thr large number of [thing] being shared. Basic engagement that perpetuates more and more [thing] filling feeds.

Like how a feed complaining about celebrity gossip spam is just perpetuating celebrity gossip spam.

Oh so its like enoughmuskspam? Thats great tho because it funnels all the annoying posts into few easily blockable communities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, concentrating it to make it easier to ignore is actually great.

It sounds like there's a community making fun of bad AI images.

If I had to guess it's fuckai, I blocked it a long time ago tho, but they've got like 50 mods and when I got to block someone I keep seeing they mod there.

If you also did the common sense thing and blocked the community a long time ago, you wouldn't see it.

There's also a chance you dont federate with the same instances as OP.

I don't know why, but lots of people tend to think everyone sees the same stuff on Lemmy, there's a lot of variation

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same here. Something is getting lost in translation.

There's a community in which people post examples of an AI image generator messing things up. I think that's what they mean by "ai-images failing". I think they're saying: "you may think that by posting to such a community you are being critical of AI generators, but in fact you're still filling your head with AI noise."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Thank you for taking the time to explain that. It makes a lot more sense now.

I think all this AI art is a good thing, so that there will be lots of inbreeding in AIs and they become shit and no one uses them anymore

[–] [email protected] -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Meh, some of the AI images have actually been pretty cool. They are art in their own way, and anyone who says otherwise doesn't understand "art" to begin with (Anything can technically be art)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I think part of the problem is the volume of it that is just completely uninteresting. You absolutely can do cool stuff with, I agree. It just seems like most people aren't. In the same way that Duchamp managed to do something pretty cool with Fountain, but I would not give the slightest hint of a damn about a collection of other readymade art made in the same quantity and with the same thought as AI outputs
