A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

You would expect that the amount of people complaining about ai generated images would cause people to avoid using them
Why?
I've definitely noticed more assholes responding with chatbot generated arguments.
And don't call it ai. Industry buzz term. Anti-labor anti-human anti-ai.
Why should i not use a term that has been in use for at least a decade? I have specifically mentioned ai generated images to not have it included with the actually useful ai
It has existed since at least the 1960s,probably earlier, and been common use among SciFi nerds since at least the 80s.
This is not ai. We do not have ai. Nothing currently extant was made with the existence of ai, because ai does not exist at present. If we ever do invent ai, you're going to look like an excitable wide eyed bigot and it's going to look cringe as fuck. In the meantime it is used to create buzz and bullshit lies to discipline labor. Contributing to that PR push by using their dishonest language is an active strike against the power of workers, organized and not. It also takes research dollars flops etc from real ai research, which used to be a thing, and would be pretty cool to have around.
I'll spare you the explanation of why it's anti human. Be a tool of the oligarchs or don't.
By "that has been in use for over a decade" i meant with the definition that includes all machine learning. I only said over a decade since the first proof of the term being used before openais gpt 3.5 that i can think of is not from 2 decades ago
There is also another definition that i know of that has existed for much longer than openais gpt 3.5 that includes a script composed of a bunch of if statements. Have you never heard of video game enemy AI?
It's so hard to get people to realize, especially the ones adherent to it, LLMs are not AI.
it's a roided-up eliza racing to finish a sentence, it's dashing towards token percentages, and can't rationalize much less create.
depressing how common this is.
Languages evolve and change. What you described is called "AI" now whether you like it or not.
Its a deliberate push and slopped up lie. If you weren't a piece of shit you'd probably have a spine.
A deliberate push that happened decades ago?
stupid people don't understand that words have meaning, and try to change them to their convenience. it doesn't make it right.
