For real, how do I get in on some of this slop? I can hold my breath until I get brain damage and make AI slop as good as the next idiot. How do I get paid to do that?

Ah, dang. Out at step 1.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

So many of my possible careers ended at step 1.

If it's any consolation you can resell your slop services on like fiverr.

If you get good at training models to generate feet pics of famous cartoon and furry characters I hear that's profitable on patreon.

There's plenty of options! I believe in you. Don't let your slop dreams be memes... Wait... Let your memes be your dreams! Lol

I just really want to sell novels on Amazon that just hit every MAGA trope. But I don't know of it's worth selling books to a group famous for their hostility towards literacy, education, and words meaning things.

Think of how funny it would be to sell a book that absolutely clowns on maga and then having it get popular with maga.

Lol

The thing is, they might absolutely see it as reinforcing their ideals. There's a very real phenomenon where 2 people on opposite ends of the political spectrum see the exact same media, made famous by the Colbert Report.

The problem is, would Claude even do well writing a subtle, satirical story?
