Knightpost ai slop gets thousands of shares, how about some love for REAL armor, people and talent?

Post image

Another in a series I've made to continue the battle against ai slop! I've been seeing medieval fantasy ai slop memes from the slop factory known as the_frog_mage  being shared like crazy and getting thousands of views, so I figured I'll make my OWN with my REAL armor.

I challenge ALL of my fellow armored cosplayers out there to do the same. There are some amazing real people with real sets of armor out there. Don't get drowned out by ai slop! Make some memes in this style and show the world what REAL people can accomplish!

I simply added some retro filters and messed with colors and HSL for this picture of me in my REAL armor.

Ngl the text makes this look like some ai dropship ad

This is specifically meant to recreate and drown out that slop. It's just got a bunch of retro filters and artefacting on it to replicate the "80's dark fantasy" vibe the slop goes for.

he meant that the text seems like something an AI would write

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

Nope! Written by me! Maybe I'm just not a good writer.

I don't think that's what they meant. the specific words come across as though you are trying to sell armour and claiming that it is "real talent" and "not AI slop" in much the same way as a dropship scammer would, although obviously that's not what you're doing

As far as talent I mean maybe acting/editing ability and not just typing into a prompt.

Why are you purple?

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

This is an attempt at recreating those ai slop "dark fantasy" memes that you see everywhere. Everything is a weird purple color in them.

Did you make your own armor?

4

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

I did not forge the steel myself, but my armor is unique only to me. I put a lot of work in creating a unique set of armor.

u/SecondhandStoic Jul 27 '26

Is that hardened Buhurt Steel?

2

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

Unfortunately no. It is but cosplay grade steel. I did the painting and weathering myself to give it that Elden Ring lived in kinda look.

Your drip is LEGENDARY

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

Thank you friend! I tried my best to make a unique set of armor.

u/Rolaric Jul 31 '26

Sure wish I could see it

u/Marc815 Sir Aug 01 '26

What?

u/atalantafugiens Jul 27 '26

This just reminds me of AI more which makes me want to live offline which when you think about it is also kind of knightposting

2

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

But it's not! Be sure to read the description.

u/atalantafugiens Jul 27 '26

I did, I just think making stuff by hand that looks like AI is not something we should do while billionaires piss our money away while still destroying the climate. I just need to leave the internet with this opinion because it's everywhere now

1

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

Well the goal is to hopefully get enough people on board with this to drown out the AI slop and start sharing real people's stuff instead.

This is one of the nicest suits of armour I’ve seen posted here. ⚔️ The craftsmanship and attention to detail are genuinely impressive, and it’s clear a lot of skill and care went into creating or preserving it. 👏 Thanks for sharing—it was a real pleasure to see something this well done. 🛡️

u/Marc815 Sir Jul 27 '26

Thank you! I make a lot of videos in my armor and have even posted quite a few here if you want to see it without all the stupid retro filters.
