Disclaimer: I've not workshopped this much, so idk if these are the right words to convey how I feel

I feel like using AI to generate images is akin to taking someone's art and applying a light gaussian blur to it or putting an uncredited artist's work in a big game.

I know it's done in a much more intricate way, and it's genuinely impressive how AI companies got it to work so well, but if I try to sell AI generated images, especially if they're meant to be made similar to an artist's work, then that's all I'm doing.

I don't necessarily see it as stealing from artists (though it is threatening the livelihood of a lot of artists), but more as exploiting artists but with a new buzzword.

If I arrange 4 pieces of art in a jpeg and then apply a whacky filter, am I actually creating anything, or am I just exploiting artists and doing something similar to copying and pasting different bits of an essay and then changing every instance of a word to a different synonym?

I believe AI does something similar to that, albeit in a more sophisticated way that looks like creativity.

I don't think it's spell check. For whatever reason, VSCode decided that you're writing JS code and is trying to point out syntax errors. There should be some way to change the file type (open the command palette and look for "file type", I suppose)

Yeah...

Android authority has like 8000 different articles about the UI refresh or whatever. It was very annoying trying to see more than just one thing

The dark mode quick settings background will be the same as light mode, just with a slightly darker gray. It's somewhere on the android authority website if you really want to see it

Not sure if the original image is, but this one is just an edit (look at the slightly bluer background behind the word "crazy")

I hope your ankles are itchy every time you have to stand or walk for more than 5 minutes

iirc, it's typically the pixel a series, normal pixel series, the most expensive iPhone, and the Samsung flagship (or smth like that)

The Pixels tend to give really punchy contrast which a lot of people like

Most of it for me is the font. It seems like chatgpt likes to use the same font for everything

It also kind of feels off somehow. I can't explain. it, but there's just something wrong with this image

The 24th amendment very specifically bans polling taxes

The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.

Is there an amendment that bans a tax on gun ownership?

If not, then your argument has no standing

For your journey, I found this Linux mint thread that looks to be helpful. I've not touched cups in a while bc the only printers I have access to only allow printing through some crappy proprietary app that doesn't have a Linux version, so I can't attest to its correctness.

I wonder what the print issue is caused by...

I normally hear that Linux is normally better for printing.

Alas, printers suck
