Early 2020s: is this cake?

Late 2020s: is this AI slop?

[–] TypFaffke@feddit.org 48 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At least I'm fairly certain it's not loss.

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's panels two and three

2030s: "Is this cake AI generated?"

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago

2010s: "The cake is a lie!"

3d printed cake. The frosting to cake ratio to make the structure stable sounds like it would kill most people and be delicious.

Would be nice if there was an artist signature or something that we could reference.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

If it's a meme, it might actually shared and reshared for a tons of time, which inevitably went through those "meme page" on facebook or insta, where they tend to crop the signature off. So the lack of signature sometime make recognition hard.

Yeah this image is like prehistoric internet

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 52 points 2 weeks ago

I saw this like 10 years ago, so not AI.

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 43 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The fact that there are people who can't tell if this is ai or not is upsetting. This image is like at least 7 years old.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Made me look again! Don't know how to qualify this, but that is obviously not AI generated. Swear to god, the AI hate around here is a straight up witch hunt.

Well, witches (in that sense) were a fantasy and usually people who weren't hurting anyone.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

A which hunt?

pulls out torch and pitch fork

What AI witch we are gonna burn?? Yeeehaaa!

[–] okuyasu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Even more is upsetting the fact this is a constant problem for fucking dumb memes, just enjoy the punchlines ffs, can't go in the comment sections without reading a bunch of you guys from .world starting to rant at pictures

I'm pretty sure they stick it to each other...

[–] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Chopsticks clearly do fork things. I see them as a more specialized fork since they blunt-cut worse than a fork, and you have even higher viscosity requirements for scooping stuff, but for manipulation they beat forks.

A single chopstick is however useless, so clearly they each are half a fork.

[–] sdfric88@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So you're saying it takes two to fork

[–] L0rdMathias@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's saying a fork is actually an evolutionary fusion of the chopstick, kinda like the pokemon dugtrio and diglett.

nah chopsticks don't penetrate, but fork does

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Personally I don't really care if it is or isn't. The message and idea is good and I don't expect AI to have come up with that

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Haha this is a good metaphor for hetero and homo couples

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, first thought that to, but really it's a metaphor for a couple of two non-binary persons

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

not sure if AI slop

So its not then?

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Who cares? It's funny.

[–] match@pawb.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

well, it's a repost, and i don't think slop gets reposted because it's not good enough

[–] stevedice@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This community has had people redrawing (badly) AI content and reposting it.
