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!

@unlambda @davidaugust I was going to say the same thing. What is up with those uh.... scissors?

@sundogplanets @davidaugust Yeah, it's clearly slop. Kind of a funny choice to illustrate a quote about "human dignity and the common good."

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!

@sundogplanets @davidaugust @unlambda I suspect the "filter" you used is actually AI, as well. Which is typical nowadays. It's been asked to redraw the original image in a different style, and it's not "filtering", it's AI slopping it.
