Saw an AI poster in the wild for the first time (there was a second one above the door, it's a small amusement place for kids in my hometown)
I just can't... Even if you put all the environmental and ethical aspects aside, how can anyone would want to put this on the wall of their company. It's ugly and even worse, soulless.

@jakobrosin @David I could have gotten a better description from AI. Oh the irony.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin There is nothing to describe.
@David @jakobrosin Um... If you're blind (as myself and Jakob are) then clearly there is.
How do *we* know what slop looks like?
Does it look like a child drew it?
Is it a picture of a face with two noses?
A hand with 12 fingers?
'AI slop' for the alt-text is an utter disservice and neither proves nor disproves what the image/poster actually shows.
If you call that 'nothing to describe' I quite frankly despair.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin Okay, so please help me (I'm not being sarcastic). How does it help to say that that there is a pirate ship on the left and a girl and a teddy bear in a hot air balloon?
My point is the text, not the picture.
@David @jakobrosin If you were to explain to your friend over the phone, yes the actual phone like it's the 90's, why 'AI slop' is considered 'AI slop' how would you describe it? How would you express the utter contempt you have for it?
By simply saying 'AI slop?'
Would they get the depth, the sheer hatred you have for it?
I certainly don't.
Your 'AI slop' is honestly alt-text slop.
It helps in no way shape or form.
It serves nothing.
Proves nothing.
It's a few extra syllables I have to hear as a screen-reader user trying to understand a world full of 'AI slop' that I simply do not understand because *nobody* explaining it.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin You know... If you want people to be better at Alt-text, not being aggressive about it could be a good idea.
Yes, I'm struggling with Alt-text, and honestly I have trouble seeing the whole point of Alt-text.
If I post a picture, it's because the point is visual, it can't be replaced by a text. If it can be replaced by a text, I'll write a text, I won't post a picture.
@David @jakobrosin You're choosing to read it as aggressive. I'm choosing to explain to you how it seems.
If the world is ever to get it, then explaining it is the only way it can be achieved.
You're in Japan, right?
Do you remember when you couldn't read Japanese? When you were starting out, learning to understand the language, the nuance?
Did you ever see people read something and laugh and be curious to understand what it was?
That.
Every single day, that.
In pictures, online, with videos that contain just music, memes, the lot. Every, single, day.
@David @jakobrosin How you choose to interpret my words is entirely your choice. I am explaining what I go through on a daily basis.
@David How is this AI slop? Your image alt text doesn't quite cover it....
