  • I don't think those two facts are related? Your isp doesn't need to connect to its servers from within your local network to track your internet usage. Something else in your network must be trying to connect to that domain

  • I've been using Vivaldi as my logged in browser for years. I like the double tab bar groups, session management, email client, sidebar and tab bar on mobile. It is strange to me that tab bar isn't a thing on mobile on other browsers despite phones having way more vertical space than computers. Although for internet searches I use a seperate lighter weight browser that clears its data on close.

    Ecosia also been using for years. For a while it was geniunely better than the other search engines I had tried but nowadays it's worse since it started to return google translate webpage translation links based on search region instead of the webpages themselves. Also not sure what to think about the counter they readded after removing it to reduce the emphasis on quantity over quality like a year ago.

    I don't use duckduckgo as its name and the way privacy communities used to obsess about it made me distrust it for some reason

  • Hope someone goes over the libreoffice ui to simplify its workflows and fix multi monitor support by then. That youtuber who designed musescore's new version comes to mind

  • Was it not called slop because it wasn't pleasant to consume, just like slop?

    Again: not what I said. I'm saying that the intent behind so-called "AI art" starts and ends with the used prompt.

    Yeah you didn't and that's why I responded with my comment saying that's not the case. I wasn't recapping you.

    Not what I said. Any detail in human art is there because a human put it there. It's a form of (sometimes involuntary) communication that computers lack.

    I don't understand which part you're saying you didn't say. Regardless, with the ai art just because ai fills in the details does that subtract from what the creator intended to communicate?

    In total honesty it is rare for me to feel this (seemingly unconscious) communication you keep talking about which is why I called it magical thinking. Sometimes, some media does make me think things about its author due to the way it is made (as opposed to its explicit contents) but that meda is almost never internet memes. And while I don't use ai art myself I also try not to be swayed into the love-hate cycles the internet goes through with every new thing.

    Hence why I (and apparently hundreds of other people) didn't have an issue with this meme. It is not lacking anything I normally find in this genre. I can see that there're also tons of people opposed to ai generated memes but I think the way that opposition is framed is often dishonest.

    which leads to tangible problems in the real world

    Then please comment about the tangible problems instead of falling back on the tried and true 'slop'. I agree that ai art is bad for artists and it is a problem that needs to be solved before it's too late. But that has nothing to do with how it looks or what it communicates

    Edit: tweaks

  • Is the link you gave actually the 'source' of this image? Couldn't oop have thought of this independently but didn't think to give the child a particular facial expression?

    I can't disagree that it is distict from human made art in a way that everyone here can tell. But I can't see anything in the post that would warrant it to be called slop if not for the context of ai, and personally I think it's iffy to say it loses to the link you posted.

    I think criticizing the looks of ai, especially with posts like this that don't look half bad is people concealing other concerns they have regarding ai in a nudge nudge wink wink way and I wish it would stop.
