Pray harder. Prayers are like bullet proof vests for children. Conservatives have been trying to convince us of this for years.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 21 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What is it about AI characters and their facial expression that bother me? Is it because they try to use them in very complex context but can't convey anything more than an emoji? There's this creepy feeling like their eyes stare into the void.

Their eyes are almost all exactly the same. That makes it weird.

Hmm, if only something could be done about this guns-in-schools-obliterating-children problem 🤔

The NRA clearly values guns more than human life. This is some seriously fucked-up sick agenda.

Why is there a heart on the dog's crotch

[–] TrapRag@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

For the same reason the otter is holding a dismembered arm, it's just ai slop.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The wolf on the right has a paw on its shoulder

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you saying it's not normal to dislocate your arm to give yourself some self love?

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Considering that its left hand (right side from the viewers' perspective) has a thumb on the side turned inwards, away from us, it stands to reason that the other hand would have one as well, on the opposite side facing us. But the paw on the shoulder doesn't have one. So that's a second left paw.

I suspect it's holding a dismembered wolf's left arm with the right, behind its back and reaching up, which would also help make it feel more like someone else's paw.

I'm pretty sure that putting a dismembered arm on your shoulder is a bit odd.

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No. Do you have an arm to spare?

[–] TrapRag@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Not at the moment, but if anything happens you'll be first in line 😁

He’s got a heart on

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 17 points 2 days ago

The comic sans really lends an air of solemnity to the whole thing.

[–] eah@programming.dev 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Capitalization is also wrong. The school district needs to quit its job as a school district.

[–] IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

That's also possibly the only part that might not have been AI lmao

"We won't actually do anything about gun control. Here's an AI meme of sad mascots instead."

[–] MrSmith@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

The bird ir glad.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm not sure what you expect school districts to do about gun control.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 76 points 3 days ago

Have a voice and some agency..

[–] Yew@lemmy.world 64 points 3 days ago

Take any sort of stance? Other than "sad AI."

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I've been hearing AI radio commercials more and more lately and while they don't actually sound bad for annoying commercials I wonder what all of those voice actors will do now...

Thank God there have been enough school shootings in the past so we could learn how to be creative in our grief. /s

[–] TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 days ago

They weren’t even being creative. It’s AI slop. To commemorate another school shooting. He future is bleak.

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My job sends AI slop like this every morning.

Like a AI art thing with our logo, followed by dumb shit like "Labor day fun!" Or "school is in session!"

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

How's your spam folder holding up?

Need to add a Sandy Hook character, among others.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 62 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That wolf has a spare hand on his shoulder.

[–] Thorry@feddit.org 70 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

That's less disturbing than the otter who appears to be holding a cut off arm to comfort the bulldog. Perhaps he's offering it as a snack?

And the woodpecker is kinda into the whole deal? Why is he smiling?

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

The Otter has what is called a Bear Arm. Referencing his right to...

That bird is strangely satisfied by the whole thing. Definitely smiling. I know where I'd start looking for the perpetrator.

[–] Impleader@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That MF bird knows something

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

He probably planned it and sent the shooter.

Most Americans find a school shooting to be mildly infuriating

It would stop my nation for weeks and there'd be massive reform that everyone would get behind. The entire population would make sure it should never happens again.

I don't have a problem with the sentiment behind this picture. I don't even have a problem with the AI art style. But don't people critically examine their work before using it?

How hard would it have been to tell the AI "Hey, please remove the extra hand on the wolf's shoulder? It doesn't belong there." Isn't that a thing you can do?

The main problem with AI slop isn't that it's slop, it's that so many people think the raw slop is acceptable without any refinement.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Once they have that much care and thought, then they probably would have the thought of asking the art teacher or art students to do something vaguely meaningful.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (4 children)

or they could get a human artist that understands life to do it.

Something like this should have more thought and intent behind it than "let's just ask AI to do it"

[–] MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never mind that extra hand, wtf is the otter holding?

I am over 500 years old and I have never once in my life seen someone dangle a pendant from the bottom of their t-shirt like that. Is this some new fetishwear that I'm not furry enough to know about?

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think its ai slop of a dog collar

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 days ago

Fits right in with the disembodied limbs and creepy satisfied woodpecker
