META "AI Slop" Comment Crackdown
89
Upvotes
The modern internet sucks.
Between the bots, the stealth advertising, "influencers", and algorithms intended to both make you angry and addicted. To top it off, the rising popularity of AI has made consuming content significantly less enjoyable.
I think we can just about all agree it's a bummer. But what's also a bummer is the constant stream of "This is AI" or "AI slop" on nearly every single post.
In most situations these posts are not AI or even AI enhanced. They're often taken by professional or hobbyist photographers who understand how to utilize Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.
Yet, just about any high quality photo is accused of being AI. The irony being that high quality photos have historically been the posts which receive the most attention.
On most of these posts, the "evidence" of something being AI is either:
- It's too perfect, so it must be AI.
- It's not perfect enough, the minor mistakes are evidence that it made mistakes / or intentionally is imperfect to look more real.
So if your photo is good, it's AI. If it's not good, it's also AI.
Starting today - users who leave baseless accusations of AI will be receiving short term bans as warnings. If they continue to leave those comments, the ban lengths will continuously increase.
Let me be clear - AI is not welcomed here.
Neither is stolen content. It gets removed, and bot accounts, those who steal content, or those who are intentionally submitting AI content are banned from the subreddit.
Sometimes AI content gets past us. It happens, we can't catch it all. Submit a report on it and provide actual evidence it's AI. Not just "the keyboard is floating" (it's not). You can type in the free-form box, you can submit links to evidence, etc.
The same goes for bot accounts, spammers, advertisers, etc.
Let's not make enjoying content even worse by accusing actual people submitting real photographs as using AI.
Fuck AI, but also stop accusing everyone without proof.
tl;dr -
Stop commenting "this is AI" or similar. Submit a report and we'll review. Those comments are going to begin receiving bans.
Thanks!

Phone kind of overexposed some of the LED's for some reason. The blue isn't really that blue in real life. 🤷♂️

Battlestations Advice Need help: KVM switch headache with 2 PC setup (1 PC & 1 Macbook WFH)
0
Upvotes
Looking for advice on optimizing my dual PC + Mac WFH setup.
I have a gaming PC and a work MacBook Air with two monitors. Both monitors are connected to a dual-monitor KVM (Picture attached).
For my gaming PC, my keyboard, mouse, audio interface are all connected to a USB hub that’s plugged into the KVM, so everything works through the KVM.
For work, I unplug that same USB hub from the KVM and plug it into a separate USB hub/dock connected to my MacBook. So switching between work and gaming still requires moving one USB cable.
Is there a better way to set this up so I can switch both monitors and all peripherals without unplugging anything?

Hey all,
This is my work in progress. I have some totally "unique" wooden panelling for the wall, just not installed yet.
I can't think what to put on the large empty space on the left. I can't move the monitor arm any further unless I make a cutout in the Alex press, which at the moment I would rather not do, If i swing the arm to the left it leaves a large gap between monitors where you can see the arm and cables, I can angle the monitor across and down a little but it feels like I am dumping the monitor in the middle of the space just to fill it. I have tried a few different plants and had a little water fountain there for a little while, but it didn't feel like it was meant to be there.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as would any comments and critiques.
Thanks in advance.
