edit: messed up and replaced image with a fixed image. I stumbled, foolishly, into using an AI filter I thought, foolishly, was a traditional style image filter.
@davidaugust Uh, is that an AI image used to illustrate the quote?
edit: image has been fixed now, thanks!

Edit: turns out it was AI, I messed up. Fooled and foolish. Sorry about that.
it is not slop! You make something of yourself when you assume.
I can see why you may have thought it was, but it is a stock photo put through a filter. I would not use AI for a post like this for reasons obvious.
@davidaugust @ai6yr @unlambda That is probably the thing I hate the most about the prevalence of slop AI images. They make me doubt EVERYTHING.
Thank you for this!

it is not sloppified. I did not do so. Period.
It is an anomaly of the universe that human vision and cameras can easily encounter reality that does not seem real.
It is almost a visual version of a Tiffany-like problem: real does not always seem real ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_problem ).

Yeah. I f-ed up.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] it didn't used to be....they had been a fairly traditional graphics package and I, obviously, engagingly and embarrassingly, didn't realize how deeply in their interface the AI had gone. My foolishness. This is gonna hang on me for a while. God F-ing damn it. So humiliating. Now to purge the drivel I foolishly spewed.
