This article might be interesting, and I'm not against AI use. I am not interested in AI slop though, and I immediately lost interest in the banner photo with nonsense text in it.
- mirror_neuron 1y agoThat was my first reaction, too, but it’s not actually nonsense - it’s a depiction of Eminem practicing rhymes in a casual conversation. It’s valid feedback for the author, though. I had to read the article to understand the image.
- chrisweekly 1y agoYeah, it would probably work better if that image were positioned after the reference to Eminem thinking of rhymes all day.
- NiloCK 1y agoAI polarization is a little interesting. The AI generated image prompted the parent to not even consider whether the content was on topic. This might be a decent heuristic, but it's bound to throw out a lot of potentially useful stuff as well.
- ChanningAllen 1y agoAuthor here. Good feedback: the text isn't nonsense, but it requires background knowledge that the man on the right is the rapper Eminem.
- AznHisoka 1y agoI'm an Eminem fan and didn't get that reference FWIW. I thought it was some "Silicon Valley bro" that wanted you to drink kelp, and build your biceps or something
- ChanningAllen 1y agoGotcha! Shame on me. Just slapped a "Slim Shady" label on his hoodie. Won't fully stop the bleeding but at least a few more people will get it.
- Zambyte 1y agoThanks for the change, sorry if I came off as too aggressive. I've seen some uses of AI that were very similar that strictly made the article worse and it would have been better to simply delete it. I'll concede that I simply didn't get it, and that's a me problem here. I'll give the article a more fair chance when I have some time later :)
- gcanyon 1y agoOrange door hinge. I got the reference.
- jannyfer 1y agoI lost interest when I got to the email address box to subscribe. Interrupts the flow and makes me skim the rest.
- ChanningAllen 1y agoSorry for the interruption. We're an indie business with no banner ads, and our newsletter helps us keep the lights on. Hope you enjoyed the piece up to that point.
