Some of them know what they are posting is bollocks but dont care cause the message suits them.
Whoever runs the social media for my town posted an AI generated image of a dog pissing on some flowers with the caption "Don't piss on the begonias.". When I called it AI slop, they responded by asking me if I expect them to train a dog to piss on flowers just for a picture.
Like, the concept of not posting a picture of a dog pissing on flowers didn't even occur to them.
What is so bad about your town's social media posting an AI image?
Sounds like you are being a baby about it. There's the concept of letting shit go as well, not everyone believes AI is the devil. People can post shit, they shouldn't have to hold back because you got properly trained by the media.
Kind of insufferable behavior. The "AI slop" comments are trite enough on Lemmy, can't imagine seeing it on facebook in small town communities. I think you actually suck in this instance.
