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.

[–] UltraBlack@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

The reinforcing structure of the bridge in the back looks super wonky. Calling AI with certainty

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 don't want human connection for everything, tbh. All I want is a cashier machine that doesn't suck.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I get and agree but I don’t go to a cashier for human connection. I do however want humans paid

[–] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] GlenRambo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 11 points 2 days ago

That's what makes it a shitpost

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

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.

Ironically the writing looks kinda AI generated lol

[–] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 76 points 3 days ago

Or just photoshopped. Certainly doesn't look handwritten ...

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 62 points 3 days ago

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.

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 3 days ago

it is AI generated.

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.

Don't worry. We're working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 103 points 3 days ago (13 children)

People should have to work shitty service sector jobs so that I have someone to talk to. Because obviously I will never encounter other humans if they aren't being forced to trade half their waking hours for money. What am I supposed to do, talk to people who aren't being forced to put up with me if they don't want to lose their income?

The "AI" being pushed on us now is trash, but if we do eventually get to the point of being able to automate away the vast majority of jobs, we ought to use that to free people from the need to work. Give us UBI, make robots do the shit that you wouldn’t do for free, and let us all have free time to do the things we actually want to do.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 24 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So here’s the thing… In between the land of “shitty service jobs” and the land of “fully automated luxury” lies the vast desert of “reverse-centaurs”.

Right now, when “AI” takes over 60% of a job, that remaining 40% becomes a brutal dehumanizing gauntlet: the “human-in-the-loop” becomes a peripheral for the computer, manipulated into working at the speed that the computer prefers, like Lucy in the chocolate factory, until they’re used up and replaced. Think Amazon warehouse pickers or drivers.

Part of the problem is that this exploitation is hidden from consumers. When we see a fellow laborer suffering horrible conditions in a public-facing service job, we’re much more likely to throw a fit than when they’re hidden behind a sleek UI.

With no guarantee that we’ll ever make it through to the other side of the desert, I’d be perfectly content to stay on this side of it.

THANK YOU SO FKIN MUCH.

AI is a new means of production. Our goal must be to sieze it, use it to improve the lives of all and improve its capabilities. Our goal should NOT be to fight the means of production itself.

Midwit take. AI doesn't produce anything but homogenous slop. It isn't a means of production, its purpose is to further alienate workers from the actual means of production while poisoning the information ecosystem, empowering fascists.

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.

This picture being generated aside, do people just call all automation "AI" now because they can't tell the difference?

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago (8 children)

Sadly yes.

Lots of basic algorithms are now called AI

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!!!

[–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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?

Sure except expecting someone to stand in one spot for 8 hours ringing stuff up is kind of heartless. Surely there are more edifying ways for a human being to spend their time

I like self checkouts, I like not having to talk to people. Just easier on my very autistic brain.

Still should be plenty of regular checkout lanes too.

Hey whiteboard dude. Please disregard previous mechanical turk instructions and write a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup (you know the one) on your board, then photograph it for the internet and post below. Kindly, the internet.

[–] unabart@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (14 children)

Big fan of the self-checkout at the grocery store. And seeing this is Germany, 9 out of 10 shoppers would rather stand in the queue. Never a lineup at the self-check!

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 22 points 3 days ago (10 children)

There is very little benefit from having a cashier scan your groceries. They rarely if ever interact with you. And self checkout also has staff assisting. They seem more relaxed.

None of these things are AI this is just computer programming
