I am SICK TO FUCKING DEATH of having to check if something is generative ai.

Oh that's a cool photo, but it looks so crisp and so aesthetically pleasing. Lemme just zoom in and trace the impossible architecture and check the unnatural leaves and follow the disappearing perspectives and read the gibberish writing.

Oh that's a cool piece of art, but the colours are so unusual and the level of perfection is so insane. Lemme just zoom in on the nonsensical details and click through to the IG of the "artist" and check the tags and anD AND

It's exhausting. I want to share real work by real people. Not soulless trash. Even when my investigation shows that actually! Actually it IS real or it IS an actual place and its very essence was captured or CREATED by an ACTUAL PERSON who is SO TALENTED, the fact that I've had to go looking into it at all is so disheartening.

I see something cool now and I just go "probably ai, I cannot be bothered to research it and check so I'm not gonna share," and that sucks.

ETA: if I have unwittingly posted ai crap, please give me the heads up and I'll delete it

the genius of megamind (beyond the obvious genius ofc) is that it's superman parody actually presents a genuinely unsettling depiction of the "hero" that I like wayyy better than "what if superman was evil" or "what if superman was wrong"... it's "what if superman didn't care"

i think the reason why the assassination of Julius Caesar is one of the funniest political assassinations is for this very simple reason:

1 guy stabs 1 guy: not funny. that's murder.

2 guys stab 1 guy: even less funny. that's two against one.

60 guys stab 1 guy: uproariously funny. why do you need so many guys.

Today a very friendly Golden Retriever came up to me and I said "hey buddy :D" and the owner asked "do you know each other?" like his dog had a social life he didn't know about

I like in avatar when they sneak into omashu and Aang is like "I'm mr Pippinpaddleopsicopolis" and the king thinks "this is obviously Aang, my old friend, who is still 12 for some weird reason" and then turns around and goes "of course, mr Pippinpaddleopsicopolis"
