Can everyone please stop with the AI generated profile pics?

It's absolute slop and it's killing the environment.

If you want a profile pic that's grossly exaggerated and looks nothing like you, I'd be happy to draw a bad caricature for free.

@Alice what would a border collie that's more of a sheep than a sheep dog would look like as a hotdog?

@Alice a worse person would see this cavalcade of people asking for a profile drawing as a way to launch an nft with 77,000 different poorly-drawn hot dogs.

@hedders @Alice I'm sticking with the platter of cookies as a portrait. Mind you, I adore otters but I've never managed to take a good photo of one.

It would be better if you drew a picture of what you think we look like from our posts.

That's probably going to result in hot dogs.

@Alice i haven't generated a profile photo, but what's this about a bad caricature for free?
Show threadLarge Format ProjectionistFeb 7

@quinn @Alice

Who said free? As Alice's unappointed lawyer, the price will be negotiated on a per-portrait basis.

No crypto.

😆

@BenHM3 OP did.

(I'm not holding her to it 😂)

@Alice not everyone can wake up looking like a delicious hotdog with sunglasses. Some of us need a little enhancement OK?

I will totally take you up on that.

In fact, you can be a character in one of my short stories in exchange, if that interests you

@Alice I want one that looks like an idealised version of me that I could actually achieve if I ate better and did plastic surgery… and looks like I could star in K-Pop Demon Hunters 2

@Alice I had to setup a new Android device today. Part of the "make it yours" onboarding now suggests generating a profile picture with AI. This is where we are now :/

@Alice It occurs to me now that the image file I use for my avvie is older than some of the people out here on social media.
Show threadSimon ZerafaFeb 7

@Alice

My profile picture is a hight resolution scan from a 120 film negative and then scaled to within a millimeter of being indecipherable.

Which is a bonus to be honest 😁

Hotdog I'm up for a caracature though 😁👍

Thanks for the reminder to delete my old ones from the early days, before I knew better.

@Alice I get it. mine looks AI, but it was done specifically for me by an artist. :-)
Show threadAlice McFlurry Feb 7
@SheltGarner Yours looks like real art! But there is definitely a very specific AI generated profile pic style going around and it's very easy to spot.
