That narcissist is both the laughing stock of the world and a historic abomination at the same time.

(59,683 posts)Luckovich cartoons, because there's no talent and no effort behind AI slop.
MAGAts can churn out similar slop from their side. Trump loves AI slop, as 404 Media reminded people today, reposting an article from May.
https://www.404media.co/the-ai-slop-presidency/
Over the weekend, the Trump administration posted at least seven different pieces of AI generated or AI altered media, ranging from Trump imagining himself as a pope and a Star Wars Jedi (or Sith?) to Obama-esque Hope posters featuring people the administration has deported.
This has become the Slop Presidency, and AI-generated images are the perfect artistic medium for the Trump presidency. They're impulsively created, grotesque, and low-effort. Trumpworlds fascination with slop is the logical next step for a President that, in his first term, regularly retweeted random memes created by his army of supporters on Discord or The Donald, a subreddit that ultimately became a Reddit-clone website after it was banned. AI allows his team to create media that would never exist otherwise, a particularly useful tool for a President and administration that has a hostile relationship with reality.
Trumps original fascination with AI slop began last summer, after he said legal Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio were eating the cats theyre eating the pets in his debate with Kamala Harris. The internets AI slop factories began spinning up images of Trump as cat-and-dog savior. Since then, Trump and the administration have occasionally shared or reposted AI slop. In his first week in office, Trump shared an AI-generated GM car image that was promoting $TRUMP coin. What a beautiful car. Congrats to GM!, he posted.

We're not going to outslop the MAGAts. Our advantage is reality. Producing AI slop is a waste of time and human energy, as well as a waste of water and electricity. And it's an insult to the human artists whose work was stolen to train the AI. It sends the message that Democrats don't care about that theft. That's a bad message.

Of course naming any ship USS drumpf would be a national shame. Personally, I find the Reagan, the Ford, and the Bush to all be extremely shameful names for carriers.
Reagan? An bad actor, non-warrior, non-hero.
Ford? A nothing naval officer, a partial president.
Bush? An adolescent seeking glory who caused the deaths of his crew while bailing out?
