It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What I do not get about these LLM losers is that long before this image generation shit, any internet user has been free to be up to their fucking ears in various types of porn. All of that porn is pretty much guaranteed to be of better quality than this shit generated with outdated models. I would wonder if they're using it so they don't have to pay illustrators commissions, but they often aren't even generating much beyond the most vanilla shit. Is it just the novelty factor??? This does not even make sense from a cumbrain perspective.
While I can't comment on men being so cumbrained that they get all hot and bothered over the faintest reminder that women have bodies, I can say that hitting "generate" on a generative AI frontend is like a pull on a slot machine or in a gacha, complete with the delay to build anticipation over whether what comes out of the inscrutable machine is good or trash. It's absurdly addictive, and synthesizing "push button, feel excitement" with
only makes it more effective (same reason gacha games do waifu shit).
Not that that makes all the "so I asked the infernal machine to show me what it would look like if my idol Norman Rockwell painted a mid century pulp waifu just for me, as a treat," shit any less cringe and funny, of course.
I can say with 100% certainty that that's just a selection bias because people are more likely to post tamer things and more places will host and propagate those. R34 and fetish stuff is what's driving most of the community development of hobbyist models, and the things coming out of that general effort (mostly further finetunes of the heavily-retrained SDXL branch called "Pony Diffusion XL") are also better general purpose models than the strictly general purpose SDXL finetunes.
The generated tiddyvslot machine...
No scifi media predicted this cursed shit...
Also it makes sense that weird-kink people are generating highly specific images, at least that's a usecase I guess. I still hate the infernal machine, but this is info I would not have otherwise known cause shit's too cursed![emoji blob-no-thoughts blob-no-thoughts](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1ef20b55-8fcc-4ed6-8fa2-57d4faa6b6a6.png)
