If this is a real dog, why is it part burrito? πŸ€”

Needs more salsa. Otherwise, yum.

Not a dog but he sure acts like one

[–] oopsgodisdeadmybad@lemmy.zip 6 points 13 hours ago

Don't you dare call your dog "not great".

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

My adopted Bouledogue FranΓ§ais says hello to everyone. She sleeps and rests like this too.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Reminds me a little of my pup who passed last year.

This little guy is adorable. Hug him everyday. Cause one day you won’t be able to.

I downvote and block the poster of every piece of slop I detect. Your dog got my upvote and deserves all the rest of them too.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

Lies.

This is great by definition.

[–] TheSealStartedIt@feddit.org 9 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Is this a Burrito blanket? I got one too. Great taste, mister.

[–] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

I was so confused until I read this.

[–] beneeney@lemmy.zip 2 points 20 hours ago

Yoo me too, I love my burrito blanket

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 6 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Ah I see

Lemmy comment fishing perfected

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

Where was your real dog taken from?

[–] AtHeartEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

lol I have the same tortillas dog blanket, it's a good one

[–] yilian@sopuli.xyz 6 points 21 hours ago

Doggie burrito!

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 13 points 1 day ago

I hate AI. I’ll take an amateur photo or drawing before something generated by a robot every time.

So instead we upvote the cute dog? You got me, I'll upvote a pupper every time, especially if it's what looks like a terrier mix. I had a dog with a face kinda like that, but greyer, leaning more toward Schnauzer. But, all dogs are the goodest boy (or girl) and this makes sense to dog people (though, I'm more of a cat person, though if I'm honest I'd take a red panda over either, but then again, who wouldn't?).

Harsh. It's trying it's best

[–] Nima@leminal.space 7 points 23 hours ago

what posts here are ai gen? i haven't seen any recently.

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I see a lot of AI generated stuff getting upvoted

What alternative lemmy world are you living in? Lemmy is one of the most hostile to AI communities I know of

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 10 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

They almost always get removed or deleted eventually, but sometimes they'll get upvoted for a few hours until an eagle eyed user spots evidence and calls it out.

It's also not OPs fault most of the time. It's hard to spot them

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

I see no GenAI content here whatsoever except for what's posted on communities specifically meant for it.

[–] zikzak025@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In a general sense, absolutely, but there are still a good number of pro-AI communities around here that typically keep to their own bubbles. Anyone browsing by All will inevitably see them come up here and there.

I also see AI-gen content make it to the top of larger, more general communities like Lemmy Shitpost every now and then. Usually when it's harder to tell that it was generated by AI. When it gets called out, you'll typically see more upvotes than downvotes, but there will inevitably be some AI sympathist or two in the replies who won't hesitate to go off about how it's not a big deal/it's just a meme/there's nothing inherently wrong with AI/etc.

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

In theory, if we're growing beyond Linux nerds and harcore communists, this should be one of the biggest and most general communities as well as one of the most likely to see slop get upvoted.

ai kittens and puppies make up like 30% of Facebook traffic on their own at this point. if we're worried about ai slop taking over THIS is the community to watch.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 21 hours ago

No joke, when I saw the thumbnail I was just about to go looking through my photos because my dog looks very similar (terrier Chihuahua mix so his snout is a little longer) and he loves wrapping up in my tortilla pattern blanket.

10/10 doggo

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Lightly toasted tortilla

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Incorrect.

It's great!

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 3 points 20 hours ago

that's an unfortunate pattern on that blanket

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

That dog has good taste in blankets. I have the same one. Cool shit

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

OP claims to hate AI. OP posts what is clearly an AI picture of a Dog Burrito with a giant tortilla.

He certainly is great!

[–] rangber@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

What are you talking about? It's awesome!

the title isn't great, this is an excellent real dog picture, the goodest of boyz

You're correct, it's not great. It's AWESOME!!!

[–] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 3 points 23 hours ago

This is great!
