To see if the bots can do it. What's the incentive to post near-identical AI art over and over? Or run bots in videogames? Some people are just enamored with the capability, or by ruining things, or just to see if they can.
And then there's theory 2, which is less 'bots made to shitpost' and more 'shitposts by people so terminally online they think like bots.' Look at most OPs these days and what do you see? Clickbait tactics, buzzwords, constant repetition of subjects that provoke 'engagement,' but not meaningful discussion. Some people have just become so irreversibly damaged by the modern internet that that's just how they think you're supposed to behave now.
tl;dr; the wickedness of machines that act like men is mostly in creating men that act like machines.
This seems weak to me. It's like when people accuse anyone promoting an opinion they disagree with of being a paid shill. Some people are uncreative that they can't imagine that folks expressing things they don't like can be exhibiting sincere thoughts.
>What in the name of Blessed Blake would be the motivation for people to have bots make unoriginal shitposts?
attention simply as that, some prostitutes are so desperate that they would willingly do this every single day, just look the catalog on Ganker (especially if you search for threads about ergo proxy, lain, eva, texhnolyze, fma or the tatami galaxy)
If you think of Ganker as competition, it could be to drive down post quality, and this interest in the site, to funnel you into their preferred platform where you're exposed to their ads and shilling.
Right, but that kind of spam at least serves a purpose, however disgusting. In most of these threads there isn't any product being advertised. Who benefits?
I'm asking how new you are because a lot of the time there was no purpose. Less than a decade ago people would do it just because they found it funny or disliked a community. AI might be more subtle but this isn't a new phenomenon.
Anon, even in some of those tiny images I can see multiple distinct biomes. There's more than one kind of cold biome, or kind of forest, etc.
>How new are you? Do you think spam protection developed before spam was a problem?
Wasn't that specifically due to the "save as js shit bricks" virus that morons kept falling for that made them start posting it too? I recall that happening around the time captcha was implemented.

It's funny how that one guy didn't know what touhou meant, but still, you have to be severely mentally ill to think that /tg/ is significantly influenced by leftist political activists. /tg/ was way gayer 10 years ago, and 15 years ago it was even gayer than that. Ganker used to worship transgression, but now it's all nostalgia-for-paradise, and your 'paradise' is some kind of conformist normie no-girls-allowed-but-also-no-homosexual version of the hobby which never actually existed.

no I genuinely have no idea what you are trying to say other than being wrong. It's a little difficult to argue with your point when every 7 words is an autocorrect.
Captcha was implemented due to a persistent and multipronged spam campaign by a Swedish homosexual and literal pedophile running a Ganker spinoff community, but also because botposting shady links was on the rise, mostly on the porn boards.
But it was around the same time as that image virus botnet, wasn't it? That's the one I remember. Sure, there was other spam, but I don't recall it being that prevalent.
To some degree single-biome planets do exist in reality: our own solar system has an ice (technically not a) planet, couple of desert planets, a volcanic hellhole where it rains sulphuric acid planet, and astronomers have discovered several exoplanets that likely have their surface entirely covered with water. Though a planet with conditions habitable to humans would realistically have multiple biomes depending on the climate (except maybe for the above-mentioned water planets, which could have multiple biomes but from human point of view it boils down to "water"). Dune's Arrakis for example wouldn't really be habitable since a planet-wide desert wouldn't be able to sustain enough oxygen-producing organisms to keep the atmosphere breathable (Dune handwaves this by having the sandworms conveniently produce oxygen as a metabolic waste product; in other words Arrakis remains habitable solely because everybody is huffing sandworm farts).
I recently red a Battletech novel that had a subversion of this: most of the book took place on a planet was in interstellar maps classified as a "desert planet" due to most of the land surface being desert, but most of the action took place in jungles because human habitation was clustered around the polar regions where temperatures were comparatively cooler, allowing for bodies of liquid water and large amount of plant life.
It's a topic people have complained about almost as long the SF genre has existed.
Most these planets they only go to once, and if they return, they return to the same place on the planet. Dagobah probably has many rich biomes, but we never see them because the only part of the planet that matters is the part where Yoda lives. We only see one biome on most planets because they normally don't travel more than a few miles from where they first land. Notice that the planets where they go to different places, all have different biomes. Naboo has several different biomes. Tatooine has different biomes.
They land in a swampy forrest, go into the ocean to see the gungan city, cross through the planet's deep sea, before surfacing in a more temperate region where the capital is. Later when the droids attack, the battle takes place in a grassland.
Midwit central. If your entire planet is basically the same place all over then you have serious trouble planning setting on large scales and you really only should be limiting yourself to a continent at most.
In a sci-fi game, I presented my players with the barely-inhabitable planet Cypress. I explained to them that it was a shitty place to live, in part, because there were exactly to environments across the planet: mountain range, and swamp
You can literally see multiple biomes on each of the planets in the image that you just posted. And in all cases where they did show the planets in the movies they landed in one spot or repeatedly in the same spot. This is like complaining that Earth only has one biome, "Airport", because that's all you see when you land at one. Frick off.
Planets don’t necessarily need to have ice caps. For almost the entire existence of dinosaurs, earth had no ice caps. It did snow at the poles during winter, but it all melted through the summer. Actually, by one definition we are still currently in an ice age because there are permanent ice caps at the poles.
Well, sometimes a mono-biome planet isn’t that far fetched. After all Tatooine and Hoth are not all that different, in spirit anyway, to Mars and Pluto, planets that also only have one biome (desert and frozen wasteland respectively)
Other times it’s just a concession of the writers to quickly and easily make each world feel different from the other.
>planet is only viably habitable around equator >mostly bogs and pine barrens >everywhere else ranges from "Tundra in Summer" to "Artic Wasteland" the further you go. >The planets main export is blueberries
Good idea?
The way I headcanon’ed this type of thing is that there’s two types of planets in sci-fi settings.
Homeworlds which would be covered all over with settlements and Colonies which would exist solely to exploit resources. So it’s not that a planet only has one biome, it’s that there’s only one settlement.
>desert planet >water planet >lava/rock planet >jungle planet
Makes sense. To have one biome.
I would only guess that you get to all these planets a variation in the former biomes. >savanne biome -> deseet >arctic biome -> water >moss biome -> lava/rock >less jungle biome -> jungle
Most Scifi settings are just pulp adventure settings with a new aesthetic. Planets just replace undiscovered foreign lands or secret islands and aliens just replace other cultures. Thats really it. Every 'plot hole' or logical 'gotcha' you have is not you being smart, its you being too stupid to understand that the genre you are readying never once pretended to be realistic in the first place, its spawned from cheap stories for kids.
You might as well be arguing how Superman can't possibly fly based purely on the energy gained from solar power given the surface area of his skin. You lost the argument by having it at all.
>Space setting >All the protagonists live a multi-biome world that's still just mostly water and uninhabited wilderness. >All the other planets are uninhabitable frozen ice balls, or equally unnhabitable burning wastelands.
How did the writers ever get away with this lazy bullshit?
Dark explanation. Each of these planets has only a tiny amount of inhabitable land. The rest of the planetary surfaces are made of a variety of unlivable climatic hellscapes and some habitable areas infested with demonic monsters.
Planets are locations. Its easier to remember planets if they have a distinct "theme".
Otherwise they just meld together mentally. Of course, You can make some unique cultures or whatever, but thats a lot more time for an audience to form a picture of uniqueness. On a casualy look it would just look like another 4-5 biome planets.

They land in a swampy forrest, go into the ocean to see the gungan city, cross through the planet's deep sea, before surfacing in a more temperate region where the capital is. Later when the droids attack, the battle takes place in a grassland.
Ok.
Tatooine is fun since each is still all desert but different types depending on the region.

>The planets main export is blueberries
Good idea?
>>The planets main export is blueberries
Star travel needs to be incredibly cheap for it to make sense to mass-export fruit. Also, no high-G burns.
Just do a tomatoe to the blueberries and produce varieties that can be loaded into a shotgun and reliably kill a man?
Change it to cranberries so the bogs are more relevant to cultivating them
If the planet is being terraformed, it should be raining all day long as part of the terraforming process to make oceans.
Atleast in 40k most planets are irradiated wastelands so it kinda makes sense.
The way I headcanon’ed this type of thing is that there’s two types of planets in sci-fi settings.
Homeworlds which would be covered all over with settlements and Colonies which would exist solely to exploit resources. So it’s not that a planet only has one biome, it’s that there’s only one settlement.
Sure. Doesn't make any of them less gay for it.
