The CCFR has been constantly using AI slop both on their social media and on their merch store/website… it’s pretty lazy and awful tbh.

I got into the CCFR watching Ron's videos in the early 2010s but Tracy was always the weird boomer who keeps making the CCFR an embarrassment.

Log into Facebook and go to any neighbourhood community group.

Well that would only be anecdotal, and even then, only representative of the neighbourhood groups you checked and only on FB. Essentially a self selected sub group, of a sub group of a sub group. All filtered through ones personal bias with absolutely no controls. Hardly an accurate way to judge 10's of millions of people.

I never claimed this was based on a population level randomized control meme study lmao

But yeah, anybody with eyes can see that boomers repost and interact with AI slop on Facebook and Twitter more than other generations.

Unfortunately I agree. It serves a purpose. I don't like AI generated messaging but can't deny it quickly and cheaply gets the message the CCFR was trying to deliver. Job done More of a limited pool of money for things like challenges in the SCC

It's hilarious that I keep seeing broad generalizations of Boomers. Some here say Boomers hate AI slop, others say the exact opposite. Like I said hilarious. I used to work in a place dominated by Boomers, they had some pretty strong and dim views of other generations, including me.

I never understood then and still don't get how people can believe in categorizing millions of people based on their year of birth. It's more likely that kind of thinking more accurately reflects personal bias than broadly fact based reality.

Well, yeah those people exist. But it's not the same people. The comments section in this thread and many other c/gun threads is filled with the same generalizations. You'd think people who're being marginalized and criminalized unfairly would be less likely to do it themselves.

Most people really don't like obvious AI slop. It shows laziness and always comes off cheap.

This is coming from a guy who uses local image generators for DnD characters. So I'm not against it fully. It has uses but poor looking crap gets blasted everywhere. Usually by people with terrible takes.

Litterally just googling to try to find a replacement part for one thats been discontinued, and the AI suggested a direct replacement available through another company. Looked up the specs and it was not at all compatible, in fact it probably would catch fire if it was used. Thats one of many reasons that I hate AI, it gives incorrect information with 100% confidence.

u/BlackElmyr Mar 28 '26

Yeah, agreed, but come on. We've all dealt with people in real life doing the exact same. Hell, too many of the people I reported to at work were like that.

People using AI as the all knowing OZ, their digital "partner" or totally unbiased arbiter of absolute truth are a lot of the problem. If used as a tool to narrow down or suggest a field of search on a topic, that's probably mostly fine. But anyone would be a fool to rely on that without verifying and triple checking from other sources.
