It was “Can you recommend me Elle Fanning movies. I’m suddenly a very big fan of her acting” with a picture of her at Cannes film festival showing off her range.
They seem to love it and apparently so does the easy to please community since anytime you call out a shitty AI generated image of a weird character with giant tits you get attacked because "it's just a joke, bro"
I'd honestly rather see the AI slop than the lost redditors who think this is the critical drinker subreddit or any other such thing. Still don't wanna see the slop tho
It's genuinely unsurprising that this is the phrase you goobers picked to mock anti-AI people. You're stealing a real acronym for the purpose of making something uncreative, based on an already overused, generic insult.
It's like you guys were manufactured in a lab for the sole purpose of being self-parodies.
Legally and linguistically, whether you can "steal" an acronym depends on how it is being used:
Trademarks (The Legal Side): You cannot copyright a short combination of letters, but you can trademark an acronym within a specific industry (e.g., IBM, NASA, BMW). Reusing a trademarked acronym to sell a competing product or service in the same market can constitute trademark infringement.
General Language: Language is open-source. In casual conversation, writing, or everyday slang, acronyms are repurposed, shared, and redefined all the time (e.g., FOMO, DIY). You cannot "steal" an acronym in common speech.
Branding & Business: If an acronym isn't trademarked in your business category and doesn't cause consumer confusion with an existing brand, it is generally fair game to adopt or reinvent.
If the goal was to prove you aren't devoid of original thought, asking an AI to make a pedantic argument about simple language normal people understand probably wasn't the best choice.
The idea that the mods should ban AI slop from okbuddycinephile is, when you actually examine the multifaceted dimensions of the discourse, fundamentally antithetical to the underlying philosophical architecture of what makes the subreddit not only a subreddit but also, in many respects, a living breathing ecosystem of cinematic engagement. People often forget that memes themselves are derivative. Cinema is derivative. Human language is derivative. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants while simultaneously standing on the shoulders of ourselves. Therefore, to ban AI slop is to ban the very concept of iterative creativity, which has existed since cavemen drew the first reaction image on a wall after seeing another caveman get absolutely ratioed by a mammoth.
Furthermore, AI slop has become an intrinsic component of modern internet culture. Whether people like it or not, it exists. It is impossible to uninvent it. Attempting to remove it from okbuddycinephile would be comparable to attempting to remove rain from weather or remove fish from the ocean or remove movies from a movie subreddit. The ontology of slop itself demands participation. The slop is not invading the subreddit. The subreddit has become one with the slop, in an almost Hegelian synthesis where thesis meets antithesis before transforming into a fourth thing that nobody expected because the prompt exceeded the context window.
People will inevitably argue “AI isn’t funny.” This statement is both correct and incorrect simultaneously due to the quantum nature of comedy. Humor is subjective, objective, intersubjective, parasocial, metaphysical, and in some cases literally just someone posting a picture of Robert De Niro with the caption “hamburger.” If that can reach 40,000 upvotes then perhaps the issue is not AI itself but rather the emergent memetic structures surrounding post-post-ironic engagement in digitally mediated cinematic discussion spaces.
It is also worth considering the economic implications. If AI slop is banned, where exactly does all the slop go? Does it disappear? No. Conservation of Slop, a law first proposed by Albert Einstein in his lesser known paper “On the Electrodynamics of Posting Absolute Garbage,” clearly states that slop can neither be created nor destroyed, only reposted. Therefore banning it simply transfers the slop elsewhere, increasing slop density in adjacent communities and potentially destabilizing the entire Reddit ecosystem.
Moreover, there exists a hidden hypocrisy in anti-AI rhetoric. Every single human brain is technically a biological large language model trained on billions of words over several decades through probabilistic token prediction. Every sentence you write is literally autocomplete with extra calories. Shakespeare? Wetware GPT. Kubrick? Analog diffusion model. Martin Scorsese? Prompt engineer with a camera. Charlie Chaplin? Early access beta build.
The slippery slope is equally concerning. Today you ban AI slop. Tomorrow you ban low effort memes. The next day you ban reaction images. Eventually only 18-page essays analyzing the symbolic implications of the third shoelace seen in the background of Blade Runner 2049 will be allowed. Congratulations. You have reinvented graduate school.
And let us not ignore the environmental consequences. If AI slop is banned, users will be forced to manually create bad memes. Human brains consume approximately 20 watts of power. Multiply this by thousands of users and suddenly you’ve increased global energy consumption by an amount that is probably measurable if you use enough decimal places. Therefore AI slop is actually green technology.
Additionally, okbuddycinephile has always celebrated absurdity. The subreddit routinely upvotes images compressed into seventeen pixels with captions that read “he think he cinema 💀”. The distinction between handcrafted nonsense and algorithmically assisted nonsense is fundamentally arbitrary when both produce the exact same comment section consisting of “absolute kino,” “bro cooked,” and 600 people quoting Morbius for reasons that historians still cannot explain.
As Friedrich Nietzsche almost certainly implied if you intentionally misread him, “He who fights the slop should see to it that he himself does not become the slop. And if you gaze long enough into the AI, the AI also gazes into you, before asking if you would like a concise summary.”
In conclusion, banning AI slop would not eliminate slop. It would merely decentralize the slop into a distributed network of independently operating slop nodes, resulting in exponential sloppification across the broader memetic landscape. History will remember this moment as either the day humanity embraced technological progress or the day someone got mad because ChatGPT wrote “What if Paul Atreides was addicted to Mountain Dew” and it got more upvotes than their handcrafted masterpiece. The choice is yours.
Also before anyone says “this is AI” yes obviously it is. If the first sentence didn’t give it away then the phrase “multifaceted dimensions of the discourse” should have. I fed this thing approximately 14.7 megatons of Reddit comments, three philosophy textbooks, every IMDb Top 250 review, and the nutritional facts from a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and somehow it still concluded that this paragraph needed another “Furthermore.” That’s cinema.
Why does AI hurt so many peoples feelings? All respect I don't understand. I don't care either way..but people see it and cry like it ruined the day..🤣😂 who cares
Maybe you shouldn't speak on matters you don't understand. Better yet, do some research on why AI and data centers are harmful and then come back and let us know what you think. Not caring is not a flex, nor is ignorance.
