A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Im a architectural drafter, and the most obvious tell for me is how nothing seems to have the same vanishing point.

You still can. Look for a solid color and zoom in. AI can’t help itself but to use slightly different shades of color than just to use a solid one.

Piss yellow color grading, too.

We've applied uncanny valley to everything now. It's all just a little bit off to where it feels weird.

Now people who actually build crazy things in real life are finding people are getting the AI vibe from their creations e.g. https://youtu.be/-zXg5SlzUQI

The thing that really infuriated me is when they (YouTube) put in a weird sharpening filter that made some real videos look more AI-generated in appearance.

To me it was almost as if they were trying to intentionally confuse users between real and AI-generated content.

This makes me sad

It just does! It’s at a point now where I can’t exactly point out any specific details, but I just know that it’s true.
