No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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.
Next step is for people to also start using it and we'll experience the beginning of AI generated slang
That's plausible. Araffe comment, thanks.
How dare you talk about my mother araffe
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.
Everything checks out.
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
We, ve made it Lemmy ! We created a Word and brought it to Google front page
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.
This is the very definition of Model Collapse.
