I looked at this with suspicion, decided it wasn’t AI, then I went into the comments and got convinced otherwise. It’s scary.
It is quite logical to search for something in the place where it might be (future) and not in the place where it obviously isn’t (present).
Searching for something in a place you’ll never reach is about as useless. By the time you reach it, it’s no longer called the future. All there is is the here and now. It’s ever changing and infinite, so keep looking.
Hello, Deme…gogue :)
The future is just a moment of now shifted forward. Anything you will find then you can find now.
Genetically modified cat girls exist right now??? Where???
They might exist somewhere lol space is vast
Cheesy, but very true.
Draw your own shitposts. Also post shitposts
Unless the definition has changed over the years, a shitpost is just something that took little to no effort. All genAI posts are therefore shitposts.
“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
The content is just absurd, stupid, or controversial. Genai images fit that, too.
Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
absolutely not, the best shitposts are genuine works of art and take tons of effort
Oh man people love a pendant. AI sucks that’s all that matters.
I wasn’t being pedantic; I was being facetious. 😌
That was being pedantic. :)
I said you were a pendant, not that you were being pedantic. It’s technically speaking to your nature, not your actions.
I said you were a pendant, not that you were being pedantic
So I’m a piece of jewelry? 🤨
That was a typo. I was busy dealing with a hole in my house so I didn’t double check my wording. I’m hoping that you have the reading comprehension to understand I meant pedant. I understand that, as a pedant, you replied to this to subtly point out my error.
I think maybe you’re trying to be a jerk, but you keep calling them a pendant… Which is literally, not technically, a piece of jewelry that hangs from a chain worn around the neck.
It’s called nostalgia
This isn’t a shitpost. This is straight up TRUTH.
It’s AI slop
But the message isn’t wrong
The top 5 regrets from people that are about to die. Stop worrying and just touch the grass.
Not having the courage to live a life true to oneself, instead of the life others expected.
Working too hard and missing out on life.
Not expressing feelings.
Not staying in touch with friends.
Not allowing oneself to be happier.
wtf is going on with his feet
(he said, already knowing the answer)
it’s amazing how that isn’t even what tipped me off, it just vaguely looks like AI, which is a tad strange for such a simple style
AI seems to really love that extreme high contrast side-lighting on everything. Then the text itself is irregular in a very non-human kind of way, like there’s no natural processes that would result in an ‘E’ like the one in ‘BECAUSE’.
Then you’ve got the person’s face, which if it were drawn by an artist of the skill level we’d expect from the rest of the piece, one would imagine they’d do a better job of conveying some sort of personality or emotion.
AI Art is fundamentally antisocial because it’s the Art equivalent of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle; it took less effort for OP to create that than it did to pick apart exactly why it feels so unsatisfying and unsettling in all the wrong ways. Always downvote AI Art.
AI
I just assumed they were thongs.
american translation: i just asumed they where fIip fIops
People are ragging on the AI art, but the message is also bland pseudo-mystic instagram-motivational word spew. Many religions and philosophies teach things like this, but even real quotes are reduced to pithy candy aphorisms when taken out of context like this.
Like it definitely is trying to riff on the genre of Zen Pencils.
And funny enough, that Thoreau quote is more in line with global views on happiness: the pursuit of it is in some ways the root of it’s nonexistence. When we focus on making a better and simpler world for all, happiness often follows.
imagines the future
…my god, all those lives. All that death…
Nah, the present is fine.
Ah, what a marvelous idea, we should look to the present!
[reads the news]
… Hm. I think I may have noticed a problem with this theory.
You hope for it in the future because it doesn’t exist in the present.
Because capitalism (and religion before it) told us it would come in the future. As long as we worked as hard as possible in the present.
In the case of religion, this was after you died, until people figured out it was a little too convenient, a little too much of a blank cheque that leaves very little room for recourse if it doesn’t turn out as advertised.
In capitalism, “defferred gratification” is sold as a virtue, a sign of good moral character, you are made responsible for your own happiness in a way that requires continual vigilence.
I value my unhappiness. I’ve always thought the monk nirvana “be happy sitting cross legged on the floor thinking nothing all day for the rest of your life” ideal is selfish and almost worthless. I have ambitions, and if I was just happy with the present I’d have little reason to pursue them.
Saitama has the weirdest encounters when he is by himself. I swear.
Owl: Would you like for me to repeat that again?
[yes] no
