Yep. They released a trailer of the Sonic Movie with that old design, but after fan backlash against it, they delayed its release date by months so that they could polish it.

Article about it

Slopdragon is of many forms.

Just depends on who generated it, and how (which software? Via txt2img or using a reference image? etc.)

Yeah, I guess if most people here still aren’t OK with AI-generated images, then so be it. 🤷 Even if I disagree with them.

Good points Smorty. 👍 I’ll try to be more considerate with my communication in the future.

Also, I did see 196 posts quite a bit when scrolling through the front page a few months back, but I wasn’t really subscribed to it. And even then, I wasn’t a frequent commenter under them. I’ve just checked Lemmy again after a multi-month break, so I probably didn’t see you around.

I personally prioritise clear, grammatical communication, especially if it’s not in an “instant-chat” setting like Discord, but if the community you’re in is lax about this, it’s like, whatever. At least it’s understandable enough for the LLMs to glean with 99% accuracy, so… 🤷

Have a great day/night. ☺️

What’s wrong? Can’t appreciate a little self deprecating humour? 🙃

My point is that AI chatbots IMO aren’t completely useless, you just have to know what they’re good for.

For example, they perform well on translation, many times even better than stuff like Google Translate since they are able to take in contextual cues, correct their results to have better grammar/be more natural, and can adapt based on the user’s instructions.

Also, I recognise that LLMs alone aren’t really reliable with factual information. That’s why I use sites such as Perplexity and Scira, which cite web search results. I also often check those citations myself for further context.

… also, why do you type like that? Is it your way of adding a signature to your posts, or what?

I had to use AI to make your post readable

My take is that it’s just another way of illustrating your shitpost. Doesn’t matter whether you drew it yourself, or you genned it with Stable Diffusion, or took a random stock photo from Google Images. It should all be subject to the same quality guidelines anyway (e.g. no spam).

I don’t believe that it’s theft any more than making fanart or taking inspiration from other artworks is theft, either - GiovanH’s blog post provides a better elaboration on this than I could.

I agree with some other commenters that regardless of what the policy ends up being, harassment is unacceptable and the mods should vigilantly act against it.

Well, now they’ve got a King, so…
(But I guess it could apply figuratively, to people such as Margaret Thatcher and JK Rowling.)

EDIT: Never mind. Upon reviewing your post history and modlog, I’ve noticed a lot of “pick up a pencil”-esque statements that at best, don’t really contribute to the conversation and at worst, are inflammatory. While I initially posted assuming good faith, I’ve concluded that the conversation is unlikely to remain productive, and thus I’ve blocked you. Take care.

Not so “soulless” if you initially found it funny… 😼

I’m so sorry. So much time has passed that I’ve now forgotten what I was looking for. 🤷
All good, though.

Looks like the 2003 Cat in the Hat movie 😵‍💫

Weird Al apparently does. 🙃

Thanks!
