Why would someone make this using AI when a still from the actual movie would have worked just fine?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.

It’s a useful way to dodge automated copyright flagging systems if you’re trying to churn out meme page content and crosspost it on many platforms.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So you're saying AI image generation is encouraged by the copyright system?

I was wondering why it looked off. The skin has this "plastic wrap" sheen to it that every AI-generated human seems to have, and the raptor looks like a giant plastic toy.

Did an AI try to recreate this image?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I think you're right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here's the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y

It's not there, unless I'm missing it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I'm confused why someone would've recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it's possible.

As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn't, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they're all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Seriously, I'm 41 and over the last year I've slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I've just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It's amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.

As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Turned 40 last month and to be honest I'm kinda struggling with depression right now

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Time for a mid life crisis then

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wish I could afford a midlife crisis

We all age and die. What matters is what we do with our lives.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I typed up a complete rant about how i wasted away so much time to work, trying to obtain an income that's capable of getting me a house.

But now is the time to focus on what IS positive at the moment, like how i'm still happily together with the wife.

If i let the negavtives of the past take control, i'll just stumble down a deep hole again and i don't want that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm fine with dying, eventually. It's aging I don't want to go through.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You find different things in the different decades of life, or so is my experience.

Brush your teeth and don't burn yourself out at work is my recommendations, cheers!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Me, after a horrific 20s: "Alright, the 30s are gonna be my decade!

... please... they have to be..."

I used part of my life to read this comment, then write a response to it, and I'm not happy about it.

I dreamed how great I could achieve, but found out I am an ordinary person and it’s hard to manage my life. Now I admit how mediocre I am.

a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)

[–] [email protected] 35 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I've always considered it the latter.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago

Same. It's about 90s culture, isn't it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn't consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I'm not a 90s kid.

It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I was a kid and an adult in the 90s, this is so confusing 😅

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

Kid in the 1890's, adult in the 1990's? 🤔

Fuck you OP. I still have 2.5 years. Don't remind me

Doesn't scare me, cancer does.

Now would probably be a good time to start stretching before bed and warming up in the morning.
