Apparently I'm a fan of "AI slop" and a "gooner" etc according to numerous young men on Threads (and unlike I imagined, "gooner" isn't being used in the normal sense of an Arsenal supporter, but some other sense I've never heard of). These people are all being seriously ridiculous and no matter how many of them I respond to and point out how ludicrous they are, there's seemingly an infinite number of them piling on. I've had to block from 15 to 20 of them.
So they're all claiming that this graphical enhancement called DLSS 5 is "AI slop". That it's a travesty (though they didn't use that word). In fact their hostility to this DLSS 5 is bordering on deranged.
It was just an offhand post I made saying that this computer game character (Grace in Resident Evil Requiem, see the image below or see 1m 34s onwards on the video featured here) looks much better. OK, they don't agree. But so what? Why is this so important? Who the heck cares what they like or dislike, and why should they be bothered about my opinion on such a boring subject?
Moreover, these people are not using the phrase "AI slop" in its correct sense. It refers to the fact the net is being deluged with fake images and videos where people are being fooled into thinking they are genuine. Or at least meaningless AI generated images. It does not mean merely enhancing graphics via generative AI where no deception is being perpetrated. Using it in this latter sense, in addition to the former, merely serves to dilute the term to effective vacuity.
This reminds me of a meme:
