I hate that overused 3, 2, 1 meme.

If domestic violence rises, how is still "failing"? It's the kind of success those fuckers want.

This is a straw man.

Oh this is entertaining. Let's continue, then!

My previous reply was not mean to be seen a bringing sympathy, it was meant to show empathy to another group you do not agree with.

Which group would that be, if you can clarify?

Sure, but photos altered with AI is not the point of the article. In the article a photographer said that he suspects that the cropping/flattening tool he used somehow used AI, and therefore the AI metadata was included in the picture.

So, while the action using AI is "technically correct," the photographer simply wanted to crop his picture; something that has been possible for decades without AI. He wasn't aware of AI being used. And now Facebook includes the tag because of the AI over-engineered bullshit.

Personally, I don't place all the blame on Facebook. They're simply reading the metadata, and if the metadata says "yo, we used AI," then welp, it gets the label. So, the editing tools are also to blame here.

I guess now I know. Before uploading a photo to Facebook/Instagram/whatever, I'll make sure to remove the exif metadata.

Interesting! Today I learned, then. Thanks.

Now, and this I'm going to say in a sort-of tongue-in-cheek manner, what's your opinion on the recent change of the meaning of "literally"? Because that one is definitely less (ha!) than 200 years old.

The Trump town hall they hosted was the last straw for me.

I would normally agree with you.

But just as it's okay for people to speak the way they want, it's also okay for people to spread language knowledge. Then let the people decide whether they want to use that knowledge or not.

It's not like OP said "it's 'fewer', you idiot!" In that case, I'd say it's elitism. Otherwise, it's just a useful lemmy comment.

Years in the making is correct. Whether it's 5 years or 5 billion years, that's years in the making.
