Looks machine-composed.
- cryzinger 5mo agoIf you mean machine-composed as in AI, I did a reverse image search and found the same image in a blog post from 2013: https://kenjeffery.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/on-linotype-the-film/ https://kenjeffery.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/on-linotype-the-... And to prove that the image wasn't tampered with recently, here's a Wayback Machine snapshot from 2019: https://web.archive.org/web/20190823231938/https://kenjeffery.wordpress.com/2013/05/10/on-linotype-the-film/ https://web.archive.org/web/20190823231938/https://kenjeffer... I think it passes muster!
- nemetroid 5mo agoJust poking fun - the ad is for a "composing machine", so the joke wrote itself.
- ripe 5mo agoHa, ha! I thought the same thing: LLM slop. But soon I remembered having seen this Linotype ad before. It's a genuine image. Almost 140 years ago, some human writer came up with short, punchy copy. Look what these AI companies have done to us. We see the shadow of slop everywhere.
- ahartmetz 5mo agoThe poster didn't use "quietly", so I knew it wasn't slop! (Seriously, what's the deal with "quietly" in AI writing?)
