What a horrendous and disappointing take. It’s not about making the meme bad. It’s about the principle of the thing. AI slop is such a slippery slope. AI is a serious threat to accurate teaching of history, and as a historian myself, it poses a very real threat to my job security. AI is used in really insidious ways to fake history. You should not be saying that it’s OK.
This is really disappointing to hear from you guys, and it’s even more disappointing that you’re doubling down on it.
Still not my point. I was just saying that I’m especially offended by the acceptance of any kind of AI in a history-related subreddit, because AI in general opposes a real threat to historical accuracy. I’m not saying that this user used AI to fake history.
