    I hate this AI shit because I always start looking at it like you'd look at art, right? What's the meaning, what's the message, what is the artists perspective and beliefs and biases, what is being conveyed, what is the artist conveying that they didn't realize they were conveying. And after my eyes go around in circles a few times I have to grab myself and say "This isn't art. This is a weighted random number output. There's nothing here. It's just noise".

      Weirdly all the little "this makes no sense" and "this is just a little blur that vaguely resembles the idea of the thing it represents when not focused on" shit makes me think about how it's the sort of thing actual artists do with unimportant details or things they don't care/know about (or just with tiny details that are out of focus anyways), especially when on a deadline. Like "this makes literally no sense when looked at in detail" is basically all pop sci-fi art ever, where someone was just trying to make something that looked catchy for a pulp magazine cover or something and threw in all sorts of nonsense.

      I guess what I'm saying is AI generated art is basically just channeling Rob Liefeld, except it's better at drawing hands and figures than him.

        It also draws people with a couple hundred less teeth than you'd say in Liefeld artwork.

        I think this is selling Liefeld short. His art definitely renders certain features (muscles, pouches, breasts) in breathtaking detail, it's just feet and eyes that he kinda doesn't care about.

    i'm a sucker for art like this with a giant sliced diagram of a complex system but this appears to be AI because if you look closely none of it makes sense. All the cars are weird and wrong, and it's just like pile of rubble and formless fake detail

    Thanks, Politifact!

    Show

    I only quoted the ending. It's insane that they write actual articles on this shit.

    PolitiFact | AI-generated building imagines life under the U.S. Capitol

    We contacted the Architect of the Capitol’s office for comment but didn’t hear back. However, we found nothing to support the idea of an underground akin to the one in the 1927 movie "Metropolis."

    We rate claims this image shows the Capitol underground False.

    uggh those roads at the bottom right that go like 90 degrees.

    so many bad dreams as a kid about roads that did that

    in fact once again AI just seems to generate dreamscapes (which it is pretty good at)

    but yes return DC to lush forest and stuff the whole city into a 30 story underground mega Hamas complex.

    the way it turned the reflecting pool into a big river leading straight to the capitol is pretty dope

      tv series Designated Survivor

      I remember that show, I think Kiefer Sutherland was the interim president because everyone died because some rich right-winger wanted to do the Business Plot. Also there was a South Korea remake where iirc the South Korean Army was behind the entire thing or something like that.

        Haha yeah that's the one. He was the HUD Secretary or something, and the State of the Union got blowed up. So he's just some unelected nerd university professor a dozen steps down on the line of succession that gets bumped up to President when they all get what they deserved.
