They were just trolling her, sadly. That's all they needed to prove. That it would get her reaction

Yep, you seriously put some hand drawn picture online that says "no AI" on it and you are outraged that someone puts it through an AI image generator? Welcome to your first day on the internet.
The oddest thing is that a lot of ai people seem to fail that understanding that not every piece from an artist is their best work. Sometimes it is a casual fun drawing to e.g. join a trend.
That is the only way the "better" ai version shit makes sense. The perspective that every piece needs to have a "clean" style and preferably photorealistic. And obviously photorealistic or "clean" Styles require attention to detail and a more serious commitment to the piece.
I have always loved art, and one of my favourite pieces is Nu descendant un escalier n° 2, because it represents an artist struggling to come to terms with ideas like photography, moving pictures, quantum physics in their early days, while trying to both show and hide the humanity being depicted
AI has none of that. AI doesn't even have the soul of a child's doodle pinned to the fridge.
I have not seen that. Or maybe I have.
Either way, that's a really interesting painting.
Here's the wikipedia, for other people.
I think there's an angle for people who wish they could take part in the good drawing too.
It's like that kid in school that would trace a really good drawing and then change the color a bit and say they did it themselves, but for adults. 'Aren't you happy i made it better?' Just equates to me as 'i want attention for the art too'
The sad part of course being that instead of even having the guile to pick up a utensil and trace it themselves, they just copy paste it to a program and become a middle man for downloading and uploading an image.
Setting aside the 'soul' of the drawing or how it appears visually, it's just sad to watch someone make a cheap facsimile of the thing you made at the cost of a few mouse clicks and making the climate a tiny bit worse.
All that just for 'siel'
There’s joy and personality in imperfection.
Ah yes a bottle of ABRE BARD (?) and a book of SıEL my favourite :3
This trend just yells peak capitalism to me. What are people meaning by posting themselves as toys, are they finding it fun to he seen as collectibles, consumer products? Out of every setting one could picture themselves, this is what they enjoy? Being broken down to their marketable parts?
"what is your personal brand?" type sociopaths. Overall it's emphasis on reduction of a human into 2 or 3 recognizable consumer groups or products or traits.
oh wow, so that's what it looks like... when the "I'm a totally unique individual who can't be labeled" youth dies, and is replaced by "nope I was wrong, this is my label, these are my products".

I thought the AI pic was an action figure made from the drawing at first...
Thats kinda what I thought at first. Now I am laying in bed wanting an action figure of myself. A small Tungsten5, maybe call him Tungsten3 since he would be tiny (compared to me, but will still have back muscles bigger than your mom). I bet someone could make some decent money selling custom action figured of their customers
Thanks for the two new artists to follow on Bsky OP. Been slowly switching over because I don't use either this or Twitter much, but it's kind of needed when you follow furry art and stuff.
but it’s kind of needed when you follow furry art and stuff.
Look at the posts in [email protected], most of them are from bluesky.
Let me know if you want the ones I follow.
it sucks and lacks any personality 🤔
Mmm. Love drinking me some malaria while enjoying my agre bard.
Idk... I like the ai more than the real one... I get it, ai sucks. But so does this "art".
The AI absolutely doesn’t get the point.
The art is supposed to mimic an action figure case, complete with the person drawn with more specular lighting than they should to look kinda plasticy, and all of the components have an outline because they are held in plastic packaging.
The AI of the person looks more like one of Apple’s nightmare emoji than a toy, the cat isn’t even in a segment of the container, some of the containers are broken, and the details I mentioned above are completely missing. Not to mention all the wrong text, or that the box looks nothing at all like an action figure box.
The human art isn’t that good, but the AI one isn’t even coherent.
