Camp Rule

AI slop booooo

That """"human"""" skeleton in the fourth item gave it away immediately. Now that I look at it further, "Isolation & Surveillance" and a picture of a megaphone??? "Fear as a tool of control" with a lightning bolt in someone's head??? Did OP even read their slop before vomiting it here?
- Also the color of the background. For some reason genAI uses that a lot.
- What's wrong with the skeleton? It's stylised of course as these sorts of icons tend to be, but generally correct. Pelvis, spine, ribs, head, etc.
  The megaphone seems like a very good way to evoke images of an abusive overseer controlling the camp's prisoners using technology of the modern day, an effective image for a section on monitoring and control, no?
  There is no standardised symbol for fear within a person's mind, so again, a stylised symbol showing a lightning bolt is fine. Especially given that it is likely there on purpose - think shocks. Shocks of a different kind you may receive under an evil oppressive prisoner camp system (imagine the sudden shock in ones mind as a guard shouts or lashes out at you, I would certainly consider symbolising that in this manner).
  It's as if you've never looked at anything anyone's made with simple clipart and the like before, and assume everything must be extremely deep and custom designed by experts?
  Even if this were made with the help of AI, I don't see the message being any less valid, just because the person didn't go download an image editor to a PC, learn how to use it, learn how to import SVG icons and research for the most appropriate ones, build the image and export it appropriately, etc.
  Not everybody is as skilled or capable as you or I may be in producing something that we might consider simple. Heck, some people only have a smartphone, not everybody has the luxury of owning a PC and proper software, nor the time or inclination to learn such tools.
  The message in this image is conveyed very well, and is relevant to the current fascist regime's actions in the USA (and indeed is a universally important message).
  If you want to suggest it's bad (or "slop", as you so evocatively put it) just because you don't like the image creator used to put it to print, well, that's a weird hill to die on, to be honest.
  You better hope your country never duplicates the USA's slide into fascism, or you yourself may one day end up in a camp... or worse. How quick to attack the people trying to raise awareness of these abuses of human rights then, I wonder?
- The Star of David is fucked up, too. You'd think that would be an easy shape to get right.
- Wow. It certainly passes the test for first viewing. I fell for it until I read this comment and cannot unsee it now. Good reminder how fast propaganda of any subject can propagate, I guess
- What, you dont have an extra set of ribs in your hip bone?
This might get me a lot of downvotes, but when ai 'draws' text it generates each individual letter which makes them a bit wiggly and often not on a straight line. The fact these are all grammatically correct sentences all on perfectly straight lines give me the impression this isn't raw output. Could be that the image was made with text later added on top though, but even the most advanced ai generators aren't this consistent with text.
- Could be that just the icons are AI generated, or the whole image was fed through an AI upscaler/enhancer to sharpen the image.
- AFAIK some new "AI" image generators also utilize LLM's to generate text overlays.
- Meh idk. The kerning still looks weird on some of the words.
Thank you, I thought I was being too paranoid
- Edit: original comment here was a reply to a different comment so removed it here. But now I commented here, what made you doubt about it? I ask because I don't think there is AI yet that can output text that is this consistent.
- The star's geometry is all wrong.
  Not sure why this is getting downvoted. Look at the angles. Look at how the lines are all wavy.
This seems like a pretty harmless use of AI, this doesn’t hurt artists or graphic designers, it just saves some time to create an image that helps OP communicate more effectively. You can argue about the environmental impact of AI in general, but for one image?
I don’t understand blanket hatred of ALL AI, there are some cases in which it is more useful than harmful.
- I don't hate all AI, I hate genAI and LLMs.

Oh, you mean Alligator Auschwitz that was just built in florida?

Auschwitz was an extermination camp, not just a concentration camp though.
For now, it's much more like Alligator Dachau. That was the nazi's first and flagship concentration camp used for propaganda.
- Oh that is so much better. /s
- Ah yes technically correct. Alligator Auschwitz is just catchier for political purposes and frankly close enough to evoke the intended feelings
- Yes, and Dachau escalated to Auschwiz. Just like what will happen here.

"Well they aren't concentration camps, but even if they are, they aren't that bad, but even if they are that bad, those people deserve it, and even if they were innocent, there are a lot who aren't, and even if they are all innocent, we need to exterminate brown people"

Yeah, can't argue with stupid
- "Whatever, we need to exterminate brown people" is not stupid, just plain evil.
- Its not stupidity, its just their excuses to hide their agenda

This is fucking stupid. It's when you concentrate as group in a place. That fucking simple. And it's, it's always horrible

Concerts stress me out too with all that people concentrated in a small place, but I think I would be more stressed in Auschwitz.
Kyle, I really thought it's a camp where you learn to concentrate.
- No no no, it's where you learn to make partially dehydrated juice that you can freeze for easy storage and just add water to when you're ready to make it.
So is a prison a concentration camp? Is a jail a concentration camp?

Informationen about concentration camps on TikTok because of recent events. Did not have this on my bingo card at all.

6/6. Nobody does fascism like Donnie does! Everybody says so. Beautiful fascism!

Gaza.

Alligator Auschwitz.

Trump Cruelty Centres.
- TCC sounds too much like a golf tourney.

This image has characteristics of generative AI, but I'll allow it considering the importance of the subject (and because I didn't catch it before)

yhea, this is definitely a skeleton:
As much as I dislike AI, it's getting accepted into the norm. the genie is out of the bottle. We're stuck with it now.
- I challenge you or anyone else who thinks this is AI to try to duplicate the image using any standard gen AI tooling. Please post what you get, I fucking dare you.
  This is 100% crappy vector art thrown together into a crappy infographic by hand, and that thing on the bottom of the skeleton is called a pelvis.
- I find genAI imagery extremely uncanny and creepy, and I can't condone the usage of a system whose creators yearn for a day where companies won't have to pay human creators anymore and can simply funnel their funds directly into the pockets of giant corporations instead.
  Additionally, commercial-scale generative AI is already destroying the environment in communities across the world due to its power use.
  It's not something I can accept nor condone, and I will continue to shame people for facilitating the transfer of wealth and destruction of our environment.

Arguably all of these already apply to most jails. So I guess it’s all on brand ?

Mass detention w.o. trial?
Targeted group persecution?
Harsh, inhumane conditions?
- Jailing doesn’t need a trail. It’s mostly thought of as „pre trail prison“
  We all know there is a certain bias in the police force, and as well as some legislature being more towards some groups
  There are many reports about jails being crowded and or unsanitary.
  All in all, less in the nose stuff but still
Mass detentions without trial?
- A huge chunk of the American carceral system is people in jail awaiting trial. According to the Prison Policy Institute 70% of the population of city and county jails are pretrial detentions. They can't afford bail so they are stuck in jail without ever being convicted of anything.
Did... Did, you think this was a gotcha? Most jails/prisons are concentration camps.
