It is wrong to assume/state that people do not want to see these AI-generated images. At this point, ≈40 people have seen that _hidden_ Imgur post.

There's a ton of people in this thread, and there are always a few who will click out of curiosity. That doesn't make it useful.

I don't know... It seems to be fairly entertaining, judging by the number of image album views and the number of comments here.

▲ cr3ative 4 days ago | parent | next [-]

Causing annoyance by posting AI slop then having to justify it should not be mistaken for entertainment, it’s closer to trolling.

▲ andrewflnr 4 days ago | parent | prev [-]

And I've gotten a lot of upvotes for explaining why it's annoying. Perhaps these are not the measures of truth you are looking for.

▲ antononcube 4 days ago | parent [-]

Yes, that is a part of the measure I have in mind. Let me be more concrete.

Terms:

- P: Number of positive votes (of any comment)

- N: Number of negative votes (of any comment)

- V: Number of views of the image album

- C: Number of comments in the thread

Formula:

    w1 * P + w2 * N + w3 * V + w4 * C

My weights:

   (w1, w2, w3, w4) = (1, 1, 1, 3)

(Comments are harder to do than votes.)

This is a formula that optimizes for trolling. If you insist on using it, expect more downvotes in the future.

		The formula is generic; my weights are for measuring engagement. (And, yes, I am very scared by the future downvotes.)

I clicked on it at least twice and found it disgusting. If more people were like you, thinking this is a good idea, i would stop posting my IRL stories to the internet.

Sorry. If I knew you will have such a negative reaction I would have not posted my reply to your IRL story.

Please don't stop. I want to hear more about "said a meme to my wife."

How are the images any more or less disgusting than the original snowglobe itself?

		I have the same reaction to AI generated content that Hayao Miyazaki had.

		Yeah! In my opinion, the corresponding "real life" globes I found are pretty ugly when compared to the AI-generated images. For example, here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1400131282/chernobyl-snow-globe
