I don’t want human connection for everything, tbh. All I want is a cashier machine that doesn’t suck.
Look’s like AI generated
His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.
The reinforcing structure of the bridge in the back looks super wonky. Calling AI with certainty
I get and agree but I don’t go to a cashier for human connection. I do however want humans paid
Humans can be paid without slowing down my grocery shopping. Just pay them to stay home and let me efficiently pay for my food and go.
Self checkout fucks up every second time. Then I have to wait for the server fixing the other 6 fucked machines to do mine. The terminals always seem to be slow with whatever the unfuck commands are.
On average it dosnt seem faster.
I guess it depends on the store. I can’t remember last time I needed assistance. I use them at Edeka, rewe, Rossmann and ikea.
If you’re only ever getting a few items I can see how self-checkout is faster, but for full grocery trips cashiers are undeniably way faster, primarily because I can bag while the clerk scans.
For major groceries I go with the family, so one can scan while the other bags, plus the kids enjoy scanning items as well…
I don’t go to the supermarket for human connection, I go to get a product. But when getting said product I 100% prefer the human connection of a cashier than a machine, I don’t even care if it’s slightly slower.
I am so awkward and clumsy at self checkout that I absolutely need the human interaction with a cashier, and I am faster that way. By far. The thought of not having cashiers is giving me anxiety
Either this person is a professional calligrapher with super neat handwriting that in some areas look oddly uncanny, or this is peak irony considering the message. (Photoshop/AI lulz)
I walked into a taco bell the other day. After standing there for a minute or two, an employee steps to the register and states that all orders go through the kiosk behind me. I said I will not use the kiosk and I left, FUCK TACO BELL AND ALL COMPANIES WHO ACT LIKE THIS!!!
Is that AI though?
McDonalds has had self ordering for a long time and I love it.
When I see teenagers using these things I wonder. What will their first job be once the rest of the store is automated?
You can file your complaints to the AI. It will summarize all complaints and…delete them.
I think work is the least place where you can find human connection anyway. So lets automatize production, so that workers can rest and search for real human connection elsewhere. Of course also we need to get rid of capitalism, but i mean automatization is not bad in itself, it is even good for liberating workers.
What’s work for you is elsewhere for someone else.
You can tell this image is ai-generated because Australia is not real.
At least its upside down.
Can confirm At least, I hope it’s not …
So why is it AI generated?
That’s what makes it a shitpost
Because AI is a boomer technology. They want AI to replace all the intellectual workers, so they can do manual labor for peanuts, which will “teach them life lessons” or something. Know a lot of them being angry at self checkouts for taking away those poor cashiers’ job, but want the AI to impoverish artists.
Is it? What gives it away? Text on whiteboard looks suspicious, but it was probably added in post.
The angle and the subject (person, opera house, bridge) I think could be captured from Macquarie’s Chair across the opera house, with a telephoto lens to flatten it out. But I’m not 100% on it.Why his hands do that? Why bridge go nowhere?
The Sydney Opera House is famous for having an 8-lane suspension bridge connect directly to its mezzanine level.
That is actually one of the more believable things about the image. It’s totally possible to take a photo of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge behind it like that, but the giveaway is that the place on land where you can get that angle is further away and doesn’t look like it does in this picture. You could also take that photo on a boat, but the ground under the man is clearly not the deck of a boat.
Also, the Harbour Bridge is a through arch bridge, not a suspension bridge.
Where’s there a suspension bridge? What are you seeing?
They are hallucinating, while complaining about AI hallucinations.
Don’t worry. We’re working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.
Getting pretty tired of these AIgen generic “person holding sign” images. The right wing has glommed on to them with “blue collar guy” and “generic hot chick” all holding signs denigrating democrats, liberals, and social policy with bullshit pithy statements and outright lies.
It’s like youtube videos, apparently people don’t understand what it is about if there isn’t a big face in it.
Yeah whenever I see them I think what story are they trying to tell? Are we supposed to believe that this man decided, right, I want to post something online about $TOPIC, so I’ll get my whiteboard, write my post on that, go to the harbour, get someone to take a photo of me holding it up, and then I’ll upload that photo online so people can see what I think?
He capitalizes almost as badly as Trump.
This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation “AI” now because they can’t tell the difference?
Sadly yes.
Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI
Back to the 90s, where in games you’d add in some AI opponents
That slapped me right across the face, the company that makes the shit CAM software I use has been busy shoveling AI into every crack for the last year instead of addressing the decade’s worth of actual user requests.
I hate everything about it.
“now”? AI as a field of research originates from the 60s, playing games of checkers and solving algebraic problems using what we’d now call “basic algorithms”.
a2 + b2=AI
Use our new AI agent to help you calculate Pythagoras - Some tech company
It’s like Pythagoras, but wrong half the time.
I thought it was E = mc^2 + AI
Yes? Anything electronic is AI. Just like electricity used to be basically magic to people.
Human kind loves to blame things they don’t understand for 10x longer than it would take to learn about it.
Electricity is basically magic. It only seems mundane because we take it for granted. If sorcery, the force, investiture, or any other fictional magic system you could think of were real, we’d harness it, get used to it, and stop thinking of them as magic too.
Dont let familiarity diminish the sense of wonder. Understanding doesn’t make electricity less magical, it just makes you a wizard.
Ironically the writing looks kinda AI generated lol
Or just photoshopped. Certainly doesn’t look handwritten …
Thumb shadow and apostrophe style switch, plus perfectly filled whiteboard markers lead me to think this is a Qwen image edit.
They trained their model on text added to images, so it often pops above background stuff.
Plus this is an uncommonly shaped whiteboard marker to get this rounded style, and there are no lift marks.
it is AI generated.
Also ironic is that none of the listed automations require machine learning and there’s been hard coded technology for them for a while.
There’s nowhere that the opera house and Harbor bridge line up like that without something else being in frame.
The ground and fence behind him look more like they match the Opera House surrounds than that side of Farm Cove.
Or he’s old enough to be able to been schooled in handwriting?
It’s the lighting of the board more than the handwriting that looks fake, although that is very clean handwriting if real.
I think it might be real. I agree that the lighting makes it look fake, I thought so too. But after looking at the lettering there are slight imperfections in some letters that would make sense if written by a marker. But I’m not the best judge of these things, my initial thought was fake/ai as well.
it’s AI
this is fucking AI lol
Dead eyesss
I wonder if this guy thinks these people should also be paid a living wage or not?
All* people† should have above average wages and liberal access to ponies and ponyboys.
*everyone I like
†people I don’t like are only considered people to bring down the average‡
