Because I’d guess it is–a covered teacup with a misplaced handle, random “generic devices” scattered about, cables that go nowhere…
Any interest is an open call for a replacement image for the server?
It’s 100% AI. You only have to look at the keyboard keys
I’ve never seen the marmot (woodchuck-alt. eastern) layout, so I can’t judge.
You’ve got me super interested in how written language and keyboard layouts might develop in a species with less dextrous fingers or I wonder if it’s more likely they would just select to replicate human equivalent dexterity.
Yeah the guy held a competition for the image where the stable diffusion community was allowed to participate. Many AI images were put into the competition and this one won.
To be clear this was done publicly. You can still see it in the agora
I was guessing it was something like this. Thanks for the history lesson, prof.
God that’s a bad picture, the more you look, the worse it gets. Why is there steam coming out of everything.
Why are the keyboards backwards?
I’d be interested in seeing another contest for this. Maybe the contest should be to pick who will design it, and then have the community chip in to pay them to create it. I would donate to see that done
Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago I’m glad someone said something about it, because I don’t like having to see it when I look at the main page. The uneven fingers disturb me. I’m sure we have a few artists on here that wouldn’t mind their work getting main-page treatment. You could run a contest!
I’d want approval from the site operator before people get out their pencils.
Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago Yeah, 100%, which is why I’m making the case to convince them. If nothing else, I’m letting my voice be heard.
They did run one. AI art had quite a few slots, and this AI slop won. Real art was contributed but didn’t win
You’re asking artists to work for “exposure?”
This is only ever a problem when the thing they’re being asked to do for ‘exposure’ is normal paid work. In this context nobody is being paid, their work isn’t enriching someone else, they would be contributing like all the lemmy devs, the server operators and everyone else contributing to the operation of the site. Nobody’s approached a specific artist and requested they do this for ‘exposure’, someone’s simply suggested that, oh hey, like everyone else that contributes their time to the site, maybe an artist would like to contribute theirs as well.
Pull your head out of your arse.
Dave@lemmy.nz 10 hours ago Something to remember is that the Threadiverse runs on unpaid labour. Someone donating their time to create art is no different to someone donating their time to run the server or develop Piefed ot whatever.
There’s unlikely to be any exposure from the art anyway, so any artist should only do it because they want to contribute to the ecosystem not because they think they will receive exposure in lieu of payment.
Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 hours ago I’m asking for the image to be replaced, and suggesting a way to do that. Compensation can be a later discussion.
Are you offering to raise a collection?
On the one hand yes it’s clearly AI, on the other hand I like the mug with a nipple on top and think any future image should incorporate it. It combines 2 of my favorite things, coffee and boobs.
Ironic since this is a fully SFW server (I like it here, it’s the only place I saw a RWBY community, but yea)
Maybe you’d enjoy your morning coffee better out of a baby’s bottle?
That’s plan B, plan A is genetically modifying a woman to have her boobs lactate coffee.
It’s the only thing that (very mildly) bothers me about this otherwise great server. I would be willing to donate to a pool so we can commission an actual artist to make us something nice. A community run competition would be great too
Yes, spacebar at the top of the keyboard is the first giveaway.
Yes. Without a doubt.
What’s the context that led you to ask?
Since the public perception of AI-art has turned decidedly negative, I’m asking the operators and community if they’d be interesting in updating our gopher with some human-created art. If there is interest and approval, the mods can make an open call or whatever.
The lamp (?) on the right is spewing black threads 😬
RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 11 hours ago That’s The Entity, actually.
Holy shit, it’s the nuclear core from Dark!
A lot of AI images involving tech desks and workstations look “cluttered” like this, with no purpose or reason to the set props. Apologies to any artists that draw messy dystopian desks, but this style is super common with generated images in this theme
Hey, my real desk is cluttered with all kind of stuff…
Your clutter has purpose. There is a difference.
