I keep seeing NSFW posts about “araffe women” and I have no idea what that means. Google has no idea either.

    I searched through Lemmy posts with that word. Half of them have people asking the exact same question, and based on the answers, I’m going to conclude that no one knows.

    One guess that seems plausible is that it’s an AI hallucinated word that’s showing up a lot because they’re using AI to generate the captions.

      Ive asked the same question, the conclusion that I came to is it is a foreign word that doesnt mean anything in the context and is a give away to AI generated images.

      Googling the word with quotes brings up a Lemmy thread first, I thought that was interesting.

      Is this question specific to Lemmy somehow? I haven’t heard of the term before this thread either

      I think it’s this. I looked into it recently and there was a paper on AI and they noted “araffe” coming up as a caption when it was AI generated. They didn’t have an explanation, said it was something to look into.
