So here’s the photo that was removed by mods today. This is Mel at the top of her cat tower that has a climb through bottom and she is holding on through the bottom and the top this photo was taken with an iPhone 16 Pro. It’s too bad. The mods do not recognize a real photo compared to AI #caturday
You named your cat NOT AI SLOP?
More importantly, they didn’t name their orange cat after food.
Thus the removal.
Nice, the mod listed the reason for the removal as “AI Slop”
The rampant ignorance-based AI hatred on lemmy is off the hook. People are just jumping on the knee-jerk insult bandwagon at this point.
I don’t hate all uses of AI and use it quite a bit (particularly for translation and coding). But I absolutely do hate the low-effort, garbled memes it generates, and the endless sea of garbage websites with inaccurate AI-generated text that make it hard to find real information anymore.
That’s the slop, and you can easily hate the slop without hating everything about AI.
Silly in this case, though. That looks like a real cat, and doesn’t have any of the hallmarks of slop.
I applaud your well-reasoned response, BreadstickNinja.
I think NOT AI SLOP is a very cute kitty.
