My wife showed me this creative cat alphabet, and it works really well.

@paulfoerster@swiss.social Clearly #𝙰𝙸Slop . Please at least mark it as sensitive, or give it a content warning.
I have designed a new logo for Lingo.lol!
It replaces the (ever charming, but very silly) Schwan mascot 
. I hope this new simpler logo resonates with our little community.
I have also given us a latin motto, 'In linguīs conjugēmus', which (I hope) means 'Let us unite in languages' or 'Let us conjugate in languages'.

@paulfoerster@swiss.social I may have been too curt in my wording. What I meant to say was: Please take care when sharing a picture, especially if you don't know its origin. “AI” is creeping into every aspect of our lives, please don't let it ruin the Fediverse as well.

@RobotDiver@starlite.rodeo I know nothing of Irish / Gaeilge, but I know that Icelandic has added -bur as a gender inclusive suffix, alongside the gendered -son and -dóttir (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-bur) This was based on a poetic word for ‘child’. Could something similar work in Irish? I see that a child can be called ‘páiste’, but I don't know if that will be too long or too contrived for comfort ...

This is still not perfect. You would need to make sure every substitution is the correct meaning of ‘pants’. Otherwise you risk sentences like:
“Whew! I'm all out of breath after that steep hill,” he trousers.

Luckily, the trolley is still going just slowly enough that you can jump on from where you're standing along the track. But only if you act fast! Otherwise, you will get left behind.
What do you do?

@paulfoerster@swiss.social I do not wish to start a fight. I was only trying to bring the generated nature of the image to your attention. I have clearly overstepped with my recommendations.

There is no doubt that it is AI-generated. If you look closely, there's a depiction of a flying fish (Exocoetidae), which is native to the tropic and subtropic oceans, and not – you know – temperate forests.
Also, the tandem dragonfly (Anax tandemicus) went extinct in the 1740's.
‘Slopklæbning forbudt’ er mit nye motto.

A parenthesis left unclosed (like this may cause the reader to whisper any subsequent text and thus significantly muffle your message.

@elilla@transmom.love My job has us watch these training videos on "AI" 🤮 The presenter actually said something to the effect of “Now, you shouldn't trust the output blindly, but if you try, you will find that the “AI” is almost right most of the time”. So it's either worse than a coin toss (“almost most of the time” < 50 %), or it's most often “almost right”. That slip-up reveals a lot.

Pi day should really be celebrated on W22-7. That way it is always a Sunday.

‘Linguini Houdini’ is a good one!
My wife has made up the rhyming phrase ‘grande importante’, which she uses to describe very important things that we must remember. It may also be insulting to several romance languages.

• Iambic metre walked into a bar.
• This trochaic metre walked along and found a bar to visit.
