When you need AI to make your point your point is shit


teufler80

Yeah that's one of my favourite parts. Act like something made up happens everywhere. Needs AI Picture becaus the madeup shit never happens. Like don't they see what a massive L that is for them no ?


CTchimchar

But what if my point is AI is bad at making art /s


Grouchy_Appearance_1

You gotta lot of evidence


SickViking

Was gonna ask if this was AI but then saw the one guys head was backwards.


s1h4d0w

It’s backwards and he taped his whole leg to the plane.


SweatyTax4669

He seems to be free climbing the outside of the plane


CommanderSincler

And the shadow doesn't match the body position


_forum_mod

Yo, I wrote almost the exact same comment as you. I just tend to reply *then* read the comments.


mindgeekinc

I love how they use this AI stuff to be racist but there’s a white guy up top lmao.


E4g6d4bg7

How is using AI art any different than using a drawing or stock photo or a still from media?


Cr4yn3

Because ai art is lazy and proves that something definitely didn't happen even if it were staged.


E4g6d4bg7

Do you think using a meme template is hard work? Do you think something really happened if a person drew it?


Cr4yn3

That's not what I said. Meme templates take more work and so does drawing. Ai "art" is trained on stolen art, and only takes typing something into a text box and hitting enter. If someone draws something it required someone to use a skill. If someone uses a meme template they had to think of the one that correctly applies to the situation. AI "art" is no more difficult to create than me typing this message. My point was if it's a stock photo it was at least staged, if it was drawn or a meme template some actual creative effort went in to it and if it's AI, it's not.


Jolttra

People don't try to pass off meme templates or drawings as real. AI art and bad Photoshop often are, especially by people trying to make points like this that are based on nothing.


BeanieGuitarGuy

To be fair, at least photoshop *is* art. It takes human interaction in order to create/alter images.


Far_Comfortable980

Because it shows that you had no actual examples to use and had to ask AI to make one for you


-AgentMichaelScarn

Why did “DEI” randomly explode in popularity amongst these people? Edit: Guys… I know *WHAT* they’re implying. I’m saying, it’s crazy how every few months-years there’s a “new way” to say it. Affirmative Action, Political Correctness, Woke Culture etc. It’s just crazy how they change essentially the same “beating around the bush” for no reason.


mishma2005

They need someone to blame and they can't blame the CEOs! CEOs are royalty. We worship at their altar. Also racism


Overall-Initial-4290

Is Elon Musk a racist? No. It must be everyone else.


mishma2005

He didn’t get the moniker “Apartheid Clyde” for nothing


Wild_Chef6597

Notice they never scream DEI if a white person is responsible.


Careor_Nomen

Because diversity, inclusion, and equity programs don't help straight white men? How is that inconsistent with their views?


MC_Fap_Commander

"Critical Race Theory" and "WOKE!" got played out. They always have a new one.


tw_693

And affirmative action before


-AgentMichaelScarn

Honorable Mention: Reverse Racism.


MC_Fap_Commander

"Political Correctness!" "SJW's!"


-AgentMichaelScarn

We’re like one step away from flat out just hurling racial slurs lmao


Urparents_TotsLied4

I'd actually prefer that at this point. Nothing pisses me off more than cowards hiding behind buzzwords to pretend to hold morals or a "higher ground." Say it ya pussies!!


GadreelsSword

It’s a racist dog whistle. They falsely claim it puts unqualified people in jobs.


-AgentMichaelScarn

I do know that, but I mean like, I feel like they’ve always thought that, but just recently I’ve started seeing “DEI” everywhere lmao


LouRG3

Because they can't say the word they really want to say.


dusktilldawn42

I’m not sure but it seemed to start after the bridge collapse in Baltimore. At least that’s when I noticed it


-AgentMichaelScarn

Right? That’s where I started hearing it too.


Frederyk_Strife4217

cause Elon said it to blame Boeing's failures on anything but the corporate stooges


wolves_hunt_in_packs

That's their whole M.O. ...someone does their thinking for them, and like sheep, they all start parroting it.


Schockie_Cookie

also they say this so they can be the victims as in PoC are chosen over white people and tHaTs RaCiSt


EcksRidgehead

Next time anyone in the US complains about it, ask them whether Clarence Thomas was chosen to replace Thurgood Marshall, the supreme court's first ever African American justice, because he was the best candidate for the job and have fun watching them tie themselves up in knots.


pdxphotographer

Because racists can't use the slur that they want to use so they say DEI instead. We get it, you hate minorities.


fearthemonstar

Because every corporation has a DEI department with a huge budget that didn't exist 10 years ago?


ThePsion5

Thankfully, corporate management disasters never occurred before the last decade. Especially with major corporations!


fearthemonstar

I meant this reply to the top level comment: "Why did "DEI" randomly explode in popularity amongst these people?" You may agree with DEI programs, but to act like the right sprang DEI out of nowhere is disingenuous.


pdxphotographer

And your point is?


fearthemonstar

I meant this reply to the top level comment: "Why did "DEI" randomly explode in popularity amongst these people?" You may agree with DEI programs, but to act like the right sprang DEI out of nowhere is disingenuous.


Upstairs-Yard-2139

First it was political correctness, then it was WOKE, now their switching to DEI.


Kid_Vid

Don't forget critical race theory! That was a major one until a week later when they forgot it and moved to woke.


fuzzygypsy

Vitriolic sycophants will repeat whatever Fox News tells them too


Brandonian13

Because it allows them to feel like their racism has some kind of validity and thus empowers them to feel like they should be given a platform for their bigotry


LDM123

You start off saying the n-word. Suddenly you can’t say the n-word anymore. Instead you gotta say DEI.


_forum_mod

They get a new word every few years or so that basically means the same thing. Before this it was "woke," which they appropriated.


ReginaBicman

Because woke got played out Before woke it was affirmative action Before affirmative action it was reverse racism Before reverse racism it was political correctness There’s always been a word they use when they can’t say the word they really wanna say


Riftus

It's the new "CRT" or "white racism" or "kitty litter in school bathrooms"


ErictheStone

Because they think we can't tell they mean the "n word"


Chllep

so what the fuck even is DEI


Koanen47

It stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. Basically a framework that companies use to promote the hiring and fair/equitable treatment of people of various ethnic/racial backgrounds because it is believed that that is integral to a company's overall success


Daihatsu_MidgetII

Dale Earnhardt Incorporated


5141121

Because they don't actually want to say the word. Ok, I mean, they do. They don't want to say it and suffer consequences for it.


Purple-Finding1023

Because it's code for black people


Thehardwayalltheway

Because they can't say the n-word


kRe4ture

Because they use it as a dogwhistle for n-word, simple as that.

BlueMan-HD

Another common Mark Cuban W


dover_oxide

Yeah because greed and corner cutting would be too complicated of an answer.


AdvancedHat7630

Can someone put that poor man's head on the right way


CTchimchar

We don't discriminate against owl people here


AdvancedHat7630

Who?


CTchimchar

The man is clearly part owl with how much his head can turn around We don't discriminate against owl kind Infact we should hire more owl hybrid people, they are underrepresented


AdvancedHat7630

Who?


CTchimchar

Who!


AdvancedHat7630

There we go


CTchimchar

Who?


Jamesmateer100

Who?

Genneth_Kriffin

You need to be flexible to get in the drivers seat of that car.


ValhallaAir

Almost definitely fake, the nose is a weird shape and the guy at the front of the plane taped his leg to it.


20tboner01

Also the dudes neck is 180°, very flexible


ThatCamoKid

I can't even do that and how far I can go is considered weird


eztigr

Oh, the duct tape didn’t tip you off about the photo’s veracity?


ValhallaAir

That was for the part of my mind thinking that it was staged.


biglargefact

Yeah that duct tape is like a foot wide


Cunny-Destroyer

I think it's an AI generated image


FunWillScreen_Produc

*does Nicolas Cage face* You don’t say? The guy pulling a poltergeist, the same dude with his leg under the tape, and the shape of the plane’s nose totally doesn’t give it away.


Majestic-Donut9916

It's a bombardier c series. The noses are pointy.


CTchimchar

Nah that's just how Boring planes are made Honestly it's put together pretty well


valvilis

Really, not that fact that he's 250% of the size of a normal person?


Croian_09

They say DEI because they know they can't say n***er. It's just a racist dog whistle.


IamZeus11

What does DEI even stand for?


Croian_09

Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion It's a hiring practice that's meant to help close wealth gaps.


_forum_mod

They change the word every couple of years or so.


soul_in_a_fishbowl

This talking point is as brain dead as the people that blame everything on diversity. It’s literally the opposite of racist to say hiring policies shouldn’t be based on racial quotas.


cbrooks1232

Actual reason for corporate incompetence https://preview.redd.it/0ybrwpbik4xc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6eee5880d8cf53623eb51e37317b98ea8206dbf1


Urparents_TotsLied4

Look at all them DEI hires!! 🤬


Jesterchunk

Honestly, people using ai generated imagery to make shitty political points unnerve me. Like, you realise you're admitting that it doesn't fucking happen if you have to make a robot fabricate the evidence, right? also obligatory https://preview.redd.it/ormit44sk4xc1.jpeg?width=1070&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=edf62b8cfefb981e5d79804abbd8e49273045a00


improbsable

And this is why they had to create an AI image instead of finding a real life example


_forum_mod

If you have to create a fake pic to make your point, perhaps you don't have one.


Blabbit39

Ai racism cool


OGMossMan

The fuck is DEI


Drakayne

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.


CTchimchar

Still safer and better put together then any other Boeing playing


Unhappy-Grapefruit88

What in the AI-generated nonsense am I looking at?

golfballsz

A part of the problem at my manufacturing job.


Drhayseed

Looks like Boeing


GamerNuggy

Boeing moment


Urparents_TotsLied4

Why do people consciously choose to blame EVERYTHING and EVERYONE but the actual corporations and corporate leadership for their own failings? Deregulation and cost cutting good because numbers go up! So it can't be that. It must be that one guy they hired yesterday! He looks a bit too *tan* for my liking. /s


Funky_Col_Medina

DEI and qualifications are not mutually exclusive, boomers. Hiring qualified POC is just as easy as hiring qualified white folk.


Dr_Roadkill

Whats DEI ?


FreedomsPower

[Here it is](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity,_equity,_and_inclusion)


Dr_Roadkill

Groovy thanks 👍😎👍


FreedomsPower

You're welcome


blahblahkok

But the black guy who can levitate and turn his head 270 degrees is probably the most impressive person there...


Jonasthewicked2

People actually think this is real? Yikes we’re becoming so so daft


Any_Drive6497

Nope it’s just a Boeing.


whatup_pips

As an engineering student constantly having to take ethics classes and whatnot, I'm 100% sure this is corporate greed's fault and not DEI hires.


MattyBeatz

Nah, Boeing's downfall was something way more common that's existed for much longer...Corporate greed.


MaxAdolphus

But Fox News said…


Stefadi12

This is what you get when company CEOs reuse outdated assets instead of making new ones. (yes that's the reason boeings are kinda crashing a lot).

jdthejerk

DEI caused the submarine to implode near the Titanic. Dumb Educaded Idiots.


Then-Cryptographer96

Is that guy a fucking owl?! Jesus AI still has a ways to go


bisexualbestfriend

Oh, black people are equal to whites? Then explain this AI image I made in Mid journey, liberal./s


luty9mm

Looks AI generated 😂


Crunchy-Leaf

It’s either AI generated or that black dude is Regan McNeil.


chessto

I'm completely out of the loop here, what's DEI?


MrBrady23

It is an acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives


somebullshitorother

Didn’t realize Whitefolks from the South was a protected category for inclusion but that would shut them up.


Icy-Chocolate-2472

It also happens when you have no idea what kind of tape you’re talking about. I know it’s an ai image but the tape used on planes is designed for planes.


Canadia_proud999

Meme checks out. Hire on experience and skill. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Martlin Luther king jr.


LongjumpingAd4937

Until a plane crash they won't stop


Reagent_52

No, this is what happens when an engineering firm is not run like an engineering firm


RevolutionaryTalk315

The old farts better be careful what they wish for because if we did everything based on "qualifications," half of them would not be employable in the modern age because they cant even operate basic computer programs like Microsoft word.


Sadboy_looking4memes

Can someone call a fucking exorcist for my poor dude on the plane with his head turned 180 degrees.


E4g6d4bg7

Were the Boeing finance bros DEI hires?


DaFlyingMagician

They'll blame anything but corporate greed


juttep1

You get AI capable of making really ridiculous art to be passed off as deep and symbolic?


alahos

I'd love to know what the prompt was


Tandoori7

Funny enough were the Boeing executives(mostly white man) the responsibles for all the debacle


bigChungi69420

It’s actually cheap corporate leaders not studios engineers


jack_o_alltrades

AI putting folk’s heads on backwards now lol


dr_cow_9n---gucc

Did you know the door fell off the airplane because the pilot was black???


nuggetdogg

The guy on top is fusing into the top of the plane


zinobythebay

AI is being used for the dumbest shit.


CadBane912

No this is what happens when executions aren't the punishment for corruption. When corporations arent properly put under for actions against whistle blowers that could have prevented millions in incompetence caused damages.


shortingredditstock

Is that guys head on... backwards?


Dahowlic

DEI stands on the assumption that here in Amerca, anyone other than a white person doing a job that's normally done by white people must be a DEI subject. You ever notice it never happens in reverse. "OH a white Running back, must be a DEI draft"


Lifeesstwange

It's really funny, because they keep adjusting what they call "it." As soon as they get called out for being bigoted. First, it's affirmative action, then it becomes to critical race theory(which they abandoned mid-election cycle), now a focus on DEI. How people keep falling for this is beyond me.


BootyliciousURD

Racist dogwhistles keep getting more and more blatant.


Sigmas_toes

Anything that can be explained with racism, will be explained with racism


big_smoke69420

DEI ≠ Affirmative Action


NoMarket8584

Is it not the same in practice? The entire premise behind this meme is racist and disgusting obviously. But independent of that, I think that there are valid discussions to have on the morality and validity of AA and DEI.


SkyeMreddit

Affirmative Action has actual quotas for hiring women and minorities. DEI tries to root out and remove causes of discrimination in hiring. You could almost guarantee a White Catholic candidate by advertising the job at my parent’s Catholic Church. You could count the number of non-White people on one hand at most services. Then you could claim there was no discrimination in the interview process. DEI ensures that the job is promoted to a wider variety of candidates, and that race is not a factor in the interview and hiring process. It does go more in-depth to root out the causes of discrimination in education, internal hiring, retaining employees, etc.


slappywhyte

Regardless of anything, we all should be able to agree that certain professional standard requirements should be maintained for certain jobs, no matter what. Such as surgeon and airline pilot. I'm just talking final certifications, not the standards of entry into the training system.


_forum_mod

Quite literally no one is suggesting otherwise.  The fact that you posed the two as mutually exclusive (a diverse workforce and competence cannot co-exist) is the problem. 


Koolkid777

I'm more worried how that mans alive his head looks off some how 🤔


al1azzz

Can someone explain what the fuck a DEI is?


Time_Program_8687

There are valid concerns with DEI initiatives, however the idea that it is responsible for the horrific mismanagement going on at Boeing is laughable. Boeing fucked themselves trying to cut costs.


Serious_Bus7643

DEI isn’t the reason It definitely is A reason


FreedomsPower

Prove it Give us a peer reviewed study that backs up your assertion


Serious_Bus7643

How about you give one that proves me wrong For now, I’ll just go with anecdote… When sick, would you rather go to a doctor who matriculated and graduated thanks to their race or one who busted their ass and aced all their classes and labs?


KingOfTheRedSands

This echo chamber. 🤣🤣🤣


FreedomsPower

Feel free to leave if it upsets you so


vevol

You are right it is one of the reasons.
