This image is generative AI drivel.

Do you expect every meme to be meticulously handcrafted? It's a stupid joke, not a work of art.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago

Personally, I just find it annoying, because it's not immediately recognizable as such, especially with this old picture look. Having someone else comment that it's horseshit is certainly appreciated, so I don't have to spend the time finding out whether it's garbage or not.

[-] sqgl@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

As soon as I saw it on Facebook I didn't even look closely before deciding it wasn't a sheet folding machine.

Regardless of the crazy dimensions for such a task, I doubt the start of the industrial revolution would be automating this of all things.

Also: "3 sheets per hour".

Yeah, I did figure out that it's not a sheet folding machine pretty quickly. But I thought, it might have been a loom or something. Humanity has certainly built some big looms.

Fair enough but it is not the responsibility of the joker to satisfy your tangential curiosity.

I do appreciate that you are not saying it is. You are merely making whimsical conversation, but the number of upvotes you are getting look like desperately eager anti-AI cultists jumping on board.

I only consume artisanal, organic, whole-grain memes thank you very much.

[-] luciole@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago

Of course not. I expect and enjoy them quite visually shoddy, with plenty of lazy editing and jpeg artifacts.

On the other hand, I oppose generative IA from an ethical standpoint and this kills the joke for me. I’ll preemptively say I don’t want to have an in depth debate about this again, so I’ll just kindly ask to anyone genuinely interested about what’s wrong with generative AI to look into it on their own. bee wink emoji

Why don't you just scroll past it next time.

[-] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Lmao, no worries about having to finish a discussion you yourself started, I'll just block you instead

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

Remember that unless a joke originates in the meme board on 4chan you have to call it a "standardized joke template"

This is as it was written in the Book of the Internet, WWW 78:15.

The Elders of the Internet takes this matter very seriously

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

A sparkling joke, if you must.

[-] millie@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

It's a joke? Did it make you laugh? Why is it funny?

Because I just see AI spam.

[-] weew@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The joke is that folding a fitted sheet is hard.

What I see is a whole lot of wooooosh

  • Image purports to be from the Industrial Revolution/shortly thereafter
  • Guardrails on upper levels of machine to keep workers safe

Pick one

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

I was just going to point out that one of the guys in the lower left has his butt intersecting a table but that's also a good point

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Well there you go, completely authentic poor workplace safety even in the middle of the photo being taken someone has somehow been permanently fused into a table.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

I call into question the safety of them low ass rails.

[-] Novamdomum@kbin.run 13 points 2 years ago

It's funny tho.

[-] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 10 points 2 years ago

Definitely; look at the railings in the stairs at the far left.

How do we know this one word comment is not itself "AI drivel"?
