Minimum karma and account age filters are discriminatory, anti-social features that should not exist on any social site. The people asking for such features are intolerant jerks, no different from ageists or ableists. They are parasites, because they want the people who are not intolerant jerks to do their filtering for them, and keep the site alive by doing so.

What would happen if every single user enabled their minimum karma filter?

I'd rather see you gone than the people you complain about.

Millennials are in their 30s-40s. Baby boomers are retiring, and the oldest GenX are close to retirement.

Taylor Sheridan shows: let's show a bit of nature with some country music playing for 20-30 seconds for no reason at all -- five times in a 42 minutes episode.

This is only funny to you because your limited view is that using AI = enter prompt, get result, be done. This is what most people think and what most users of AI do, but there is a lot more depth to making creative use of AI that you don't seem to know about.

One example: You can use a diffusion model as a render engine in Blender, with all the modeling and sculpting and related work, but using a diffusion engine to render the scene instead of a pathtracer/raytracer.

Another example: Composing all pieces of music manually and using AI to create different instrumentation or arrangements of your piece.

Even just prompting and bulding workflows for a diffusion model in ComfyUI to make exactly the scene you want and not just crappy slop requires knowledge and a certain amount of skill. There is a lot of overlap with photography and photo editing, and you have to know how the diffusion process works to get good results. Many casual "no effort please" users want to do it, but give up fast because the topic is complex with a somewhat steep learning curve. Their only alternative is to beg for access to workflows others have created.

It's not all just zero-effort, ChatGPT piss-colored images.

Still, no matter how much work you put into something, ignorant haters will try and ruin it for you. That's a little depressing.

Someone's made a python script in June 2024 to do it semi-automatically using SD 1.5: https://github.com/414design/4lph4bet_processor

I'm surprised it wasn't intimated and beaten into submission by that! I mean, what an impressive display of dominance, whew. So macho, I can picture Donald Trump using an LLM like that.
