Did an AI try to recreate this image?

Turned 40 last month and to be honest I'm kinda struggling with depression right now

[–] EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Time for a mid life crisis then

As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”

Well la dee da lease on life, some of us have joint problems and it's going to get worse

As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn't, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they're all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago

Or you can just smoke weed and drop acid in your 20s like I did, and get over a decade's head start on not giving a fuck. By age 30 I was no longer worried about every single thing; the substances I took gave me some perspective about how little everything in my life matters in the grand scheme of things.

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Seriously, I'm 41 and over the last year I've slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I've just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It's amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.

Do you have examples of things you don't pay as much mind to anymore? I am having a hard time picturing that from just the two comments.

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 1 points 10 hours ago

Girl, yes!!

Why would someone make this using AI when a still from the actual movie would have worked just fine?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 8 hours ago

I was wondering why it looked off. The skin has this "plastic wrap" sheen to it that every AI-generated human seems to have, and the raptor looks like a giant plastic toy.

It’s a useful way to dodge automated copyright flagging systems if you’re trying to churn out meme page content and crosspost it on many platforms.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

So you're saying AI image generation is encouraged by the copyright system?

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago
[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 34 points 17 hours ago

Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.

80s kid here: it's not that bad and mostly what you decide to make out of it. still playing magic the gathering, minecraft and irl boardgames :)

[–] protist@mander.xyz 17 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

I've always considered it the latter.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 19 hours ago

Same. It's about 90s culture, isn't it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn't consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I'm not a 90s kid.

I was a kid and an adult in the 90s, this is so confusing 😅

Now would probably be a good time to start stretching before bed and warming up in the morning.
