As a man I am so tired of having to be the Hindu goddess of Destruction, Death and Onions every single day of my life

So I was holding onions in 3 of my eight arms, which was the style at the time

Of all the AI generated looking images, this is the most AI generated looking

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

When you want to make an ai generated image, make sure it's something that really shows off the hands. Gotta play to those strengths.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Every time someone shows me "An AI image that totally fooled them!!! OwO" It's the fakest looking shit you've ever seen.

Biblically accurate man

He should try smiling more or not being on his period.

It’s wild how much manosphere content is actually just men being resentful of their own responsibilities. For all the talk about duty and responsibility, the content is either a man complaining about that responsibility or it’s a man browbeating the first type of man for complaining in the first place. It’s actually pretty textbook patriarchy. The fact that this troubled man is expressionless and his love for his family is expressed as a burden. It’s sad.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Patriarchy. That's the key word. From "men's rights" to anti trans and LGBTQ hate it is all about maintaining the patriarchy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Huh, I thought I mentioned that it was patriarchal. Must have gotten missed in revision or something.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You did. I'm agreeing with you. meow-hug

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Oh got it haha. That’s what I get for replying from my inbox I suppose heart-sickle

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Theres a lot of shit these guys do that get to me, but I think thats the worst one for me. Your family shouldn't be a burden, they support you and you support them, a real man loves their family

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago

I have no onions, but I must cry

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

Okay but genuinely why are 3 of those hands holding types of onions

iunno how i'm feeling about AI art. like, i'm generally not a fan of presenting lowered barriers as a bad thing, but something about any dickhead being able to conjure up an image that, at least at first glance, looks very technically accomplished (before you notice the stray limbs and mindfuck geometry) has removed so much of what made someone posting pictures online notable. there's not even the art of someone collecting memes and applying them in a way that is appropriate or interesting, it's literally just someone typing in the most thoughtless thing into a prompt and posting the image result, and thus making the presence of images online less interesting.

like, had someone tried to paint a surreal picture like that, it'd be fascinating to dissect, but because AI pictures are omnipresent, weird and surreal images are now just a sign of laziness instead of actual creativity that would invite contemplation. it becomes harder to just sit and think about how a strange picture makes me feel knowing it isn't any more reflective of another human being than the pattern of grooves in the paint on my walls - technically put there by another person but far more the result of the tool being used than any sort of creative process. and then knowing that i'm gonna actually pass over something that actually would be interesting because i assumed it was just another meaningless AI prompt.

Learning art and honing your craft is a personal journey should be something everyone does in some form, what could go wrong with the commodification of that?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I’m someone who’s been creating generative art for a lot longer than LLM’s have been popular. Training and tuning your model used to be the vast majority of the work and it didn’t tend to yield great results. As a result, I’ve only used them twice before. I’ve written hill climbing algorithms, which are a form of machine learning, but it was completely different in both process and in outcome. My generative projects always use other techniques.

Personally, I find the vaporwave songs that just slow down a commercial jingle and throw a drum loop over it to be so much more creative than most of how people are currently using LLM’s and it’s not about effort. It’s about intentionality. The most intentional of prompts will have references to existing art styles and artists to fine tune what is desired. I think their most creative widespread use has been Midjourney’s Discord bot interface which allows you to iterate on a single prompt over and over to get closer to the intended result. Even then, the impressiveness is entirely in the technical details of how the art was made, not in the movement or in the art itself. It’s postmodern art with nothing to say about art.

No different from AI text in that way, it just dilutes all real content and makes everything shittier

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

This is an example of what I don’t like about AI. Without AI, this tweet would have just been the comment “Life is not easy as a man”. Ok fine… not a particularly interesting thought, but whatever. So this person decides to jazz it up with an AI image. But they haven’t actually improved the communication or the message. I too think giving people more power to create art is a great thing but typing up some prompts just to create an image to increase engagement to your social media profile isn’t progress to me.

It's good for drafting and concept art sometimes. Its good for your homebrew D&D campaign but not much else.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

It's good for making goofy images to share with your friends. That's what I do with it anyway

This dude absolutely sucks at holding stuff. He is holding three people, three kinds of onion and a birdhouse and he is about to drop all of them. This is a big problem because he is roughly three stories tall and is holding them over a paved street.

Buddy you have three different types of onion, you can cook almost anything with this much onion variety to start with. Soup, curry, veggie fried rice, possibilities are endless.

Things are looking way better for you than the one woman with no legs or pelvis you're holding in your six fingered eighth hand.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

only one hand has 6 fingers, impressive

If this was made by a person, I might wonder what the significance of the empty hand was supposed to be. But it isn't, so I don't.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

you can interpret things regardless of the creator's ~~capability for having~~ intent

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But it's more boring and feels more pointless if there is no intent

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

i feel like it exposes something about the whole framework if there is literally no intent

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

When life hands you onions, make babies.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

There's something very appropriate about chuds leaning directly on clumsy unedited talentless use of LLMs to present the derivative, plastic, and creeply warped ideology that they are pushing.

This guy should try accessing medical care as a woman

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

The “isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” meme but it’s the entire medical system

I must concur that 8-handed giants have a very difficult life, though I'm sure the women have it worse.

Poor guy has to cook several meals a week - or even one meal with several kinds of onions??

This is misandry 😢
