- That '80s AI selfie' trend is not cool. Here's why
- Everyone's typing "make me look like the 80s" into ChatGPT. Cute trend. But nobody's asking what it actually costs to generate.
- There's so much talk about how generative AI guzzles water and energy. Slop trends like the one going around right now aren't harmless fun. They're wasteful. Given it's cost, AI should be used mindfully, for necessary tasks.
- Uploading your face to train a model isn't neutral. You're feeding your biometric data into a system that can mine, store, or misuse it.
- And it's not even culturally accurate. Every "80s you" has the same hair, same lighting, same face. AI slop flattens everyone into one look.
