EDIT: Never mind. Upon reviewing your post history and modlog, I've noticed a lot of "pick up a pencil"-esque statements that at best, don't really contribute to the conversation and at worst, are inflammatory. While I initially posted assuming good faith, I've concluded that the conversation is unlikely to remain productive, and thus I've blocked you. Take care.

Original commentAlright, I'll make my point seriously.

No, I do not generally agree that AI-generated images are "theft". GiovanH's blog post explains it better than I could - please go read it when you find the time. But a tl;dr is that models aren't simple collage machines - they actually pick up concepts from the images they're trained on, and demonstrate an ability to combine them to output novel ones - not exactly, but pretty similar to how concepts are combined in manually-made art. It's also mathematically impossible for image diffusion models to directly contain their training imagery, due to their small size (SDXL models, for instance, are around 6.5 GB while being trained on billions of images). Of course, there is a small chance of overfitting happening, which the post gets into more detail about.

Also, I don't believe it's meaningful to distinguish whether something has "soul", based on its medium. People can't agree on what a "soul" is, or if it even exists. What can actually be quantified is whether AI art invokes reactions in people - which it most definitely does, whether you find the comics funny, are repulsed by their mediums, or simply shrug at them and move on. Besides, it was a human who prompted to generate the image in the first place.

AI is a new technology, and it's totally OK to be worried about its impact on society. However, I'd say the best way to go about it is to clearly state each other's opinions and skip the buzzwords and assumptions. If you're willing to reply back, feel free, even if you find yourself disagreeing most of the time! As long as we can keep this civil.

I'm so sorry. So much time has passed that I've now forgotten what I was looking for. 🤷
All good, though.

How'd you generate this?

You tried to make a Yoda + dubstep version of the dancing baby?

Nope, not that. Like 3 other people already answered correctly when I was away 🙃
No hard feelings, though...

*"Wock" is short for "Wockhardt". Wockhardt's cough syrup (as well as others) are often used to make the drug more commonly known as "lean".

Don't question why Asia is assumed to be under one time zone (and separate from Malaysia). 🙃

HintThis song is from "Animaniacs" (like "Yakko's World", which I've posted before).

DeepSeek's ELI5 on what LoRAs are:

Imagine you have a big box of crayons that can draw almost anything you can think of. This box is like Stable Diffusion, a super-smart AI that creates pictures from your words. But sometimes, you want to draw something very specific, like a unicorn wearing a spacesuit, and your big box of crayons doesn’t have the exact colors or tools to make it look just right.

This is where LoRAs come in! LoRAs are like small packs of special crayons or stickers that you can add to your big box. They don’t replace your crayons—they just give you extra tools to draw specific things better. For example, if you want to draw that unicorn in a spacesuit, you can use a LoRA that knows all about spacesuits or unicorns, and it helps Stable Diffusion make the picture look exactly how you want.

In technical terms, LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations) are small, lightweight files that tweak how Stable Diffusion works. They help the AI focus on specific styles, objects, or details without changing the whole system. So, instead of needing a whole new box of crayons, you just add a little extra magic to the one you already have!

(the last one also uses the PogChamp LoRA)

Morshu:


(the first one also uses this Zelda CD-i LoRA)

Note: I tweaked a few of the pics via inpaint sketch to remove errors (e.g. wrong number of fingers).

Original title: Tired of Doomscrolling?

Summary by Gemini: This video is about the state of the world and how to deal with it. The video starts by acknowledging that the world is a difficult place to live in right now. There are many problems that we face, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental destruction. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by these problems and to lose hope. However, the video argues that we should not give up. We are a powerful species with the potential to create a better world. We have made incredible progress in the past, and we can continue to do so in the future. The video ends by encouraging viewers to be optimistic about the future and to work towards creating a better world.

During the Second World War, American animation companies such as Disney and Warner Bros. made propaganda cartoons for the war effort. One of the most well-known examples is "Der Fuehrer's Face", featuring the famous Disney mascot Donald Duck. It satirises the authoritarianism of Hitler's Third Reich by showing Donald having a nightmare about manufacturing shells for the Nazi army, and contrasts it with the "freedom" of the United States when he eventually does wake up from it.

 

With speech bubble:

I made these initially for my personal use, but now I'm curious to see what you will make out of them.

Here are my own creations. All done with manual editing via GIMP:


(Trans Rights)


(Esperanto)


(Pakistan)


(Soviet Union) (Note that I'm not a USSR supporter, I made this one for shits and giggles)


(Anarcho-Communism)


(Nonbinary)


(Sapphic)

Made using Pony Diffusion V6 XL, a Shane Glines LoRA, and quite some inpainting and manual editing.
