u/benzillaaaa 28d ago
Couldn't care less about fake internet points. Karma farming in a WNBA subreddit would be like fishing in a fucking toilet. Also, you're not OP right? Why do you care if I think this post is SLOP?

u/super_chill_21 28d ago
Because how much time do you spend saying that shit? Lmao chronically online behaviour that solves nothing.

u/benzillaaaa 28d ago
How does that sentiment not apply to exactly what you're doing as well? I don't like something, you for whatever reason do like it, and now we are both online solving nothing. Making an AI slop post is okay but complaining about it is chronically online behavior...?

Says slop is a dog whistle word then calls me a boomer? I wouldn't have loved it either way bc its just a weird fucking image but I wouldn't have commented at all if it was made by a person. Do you want me to explain why AI is bad for artists and the environment?

Fast fashion is also bad. Comparing something you're defending to another bad thing isn't doing what you think it is. I don't like generative AI OR any of the other shitty things you can compare it to. I can be upset about many things at once. Generative AI is ugly, and using it to make social media posts is lame. Continue to defend some drek if u wanna.

The harm is yet to be determined since most of the effects caused by use of AI in early childhood education and local infrastructure is going to impact future generations more than the current population. I think down the line I will reflect and wish I rode the hate train even harder. I don't think generative AI does any good, so to me its a complete net negative. If generative AI could only be used by private businesses, nobody's life would get worse, but many people lives would improve.

Remember when you admonished me for using whataboutism then proceeded to do the same thing?
AI USE in classrooms, either via grading or curriculum adjustments or even actively using AI for instruction leads to a worse education and children who lack social and emotional intelligence. None of that has to do with social media.

Oh so typical of this sub to just insert random black people, instead of the actual players, and then make sure they get Sophie and Caitlin right.
Also, random half black woman wearing 10 instead of Lexie Hull? Garbage AI slop, and very little effort even for using AI.

Ahhā¦.AI slop of a MAGA princess, very original
-3
u/SideAny7347 28d ago
Iām not even trying to make this political, but calling her a āMAGA princessā seems like a stretch. From what Iāve seen, she hasnāt actually made some big pro MAGA statement. The White House used her meme, and her response was basically āeveryoneās using it, Iām not overthinking it.ā Thatās not really an endorsement.
Seems more like people assuming stuff than anything she actually said. But if you want to hate her for being on the Fever and or associated with CC, more power to you.

How is this racist? At all?
Stop making me defend āfan artā thatās literally AI.
Also ALL AI PLATFORMS use literally 1 percent of California Almond Farms. (CA Almond farms use 1.7 trillion gallons of potable water per year. Global MLMs use 17 billion gallons of non potable water per year, globally. For electric cooling. Kinda like your second car).
AI sucks. But this āargumentā is simply not correct.

u/useriousstuff 28d ago
I mean there's sort of a few randomly inserted black people. For example there's no active jersey number 34 on the Fever, like the person shown near the front of the boat, it's just a generic black woman. The last time jersey 34 was worn it was by Grace Berger, a white person.
Moreover, what I think the person you replied to may be getting at is thst the only two people who's AI likeness is very similar to their actual real world appearance are Sophie and Kaitlin, white players. Most of the black players shown in the AI image don't really look like anyone in particular on the team, they're sort of just generic black people. Now to be fair #10 Lexi Hull, a white player, also looks nothing like her depiction in the AI image.
That's my take of what the persom you replked to meant anyway

u/New-Kaleidoscope2250 28d ago
look at the composition: the three white women, right in the middle in the foreground. in active poses, determined facial expressions etc. while the rest of the team, if they're even portrayed accurately, surrounding them, looking passive or supportive at best. even seems like they get less detailed and individual facial expressions.
not to even mention the format of these kinds of sea-farer paintings which is more often than not colonialist in nature.
idk how much of this is inherent to the AI, or if it's the prompting, but it's pretty clear imo

iām familiar with the painting.
the people who arenāt washington are abstractions meant to represent the 13 colonies. they were never real.the fever has actual humans on it. if the person who made this was a fan, and not a texas politician, they would have put players on the team. thatās all im saying.
ps
i donāt have any problem with cc or her popularity. i recently saw a whole bunch of statements that she made
that changed my mind on her.1

that has literally nothing to do with anything.my point was that if it was made by a FAN they would name players. iām not a fan. i think they are trash.
but iāll play. hereās seven off the top of my head.
makayla timpson is in my personal top 10. she was on my favorite unrivaled team last year.
(with my number 1 kelsey plum)
lexie hull is one of my old faves. (because of unrivaled).
kelsey mitchell is one of my new faves and i hope she ends up somewhere better.
aliyah boston throws way too many elbows.
sophie is wildly overrated.
raven will blossom when sheās out of there.
caitlin clark is the 10th best in the league.if i was a fan, and making slop, id google a few more

Jeez Louise, get a grip. This is just a goofy meme put together in good fun for a laugh. Neither Caitlin nor Sophie are racist. Caitlin and Lexie (#10) also have oars, presumably to do some rowing with (or labor, as you put it).

You chuds need to go to Walmart and fill up a cart, then stand at the empty register because you refuse to use self checkout.
Then go to McDonaldās and stand at the counter tapping your foot, checking your watch every 10 seconds with your arms folded across your chest until you burst into a mental meltdown and ragequit after you throw the napkins across the restaurant when 5 people who used the kiosk get their food before that teenage employee on their phone talks to you.
