Did an AI try to recreate this image?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 21 minutes ago

I think you're right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here's the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y

It's not there, unless I'm missing it.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I'm confused why someone would've recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it's possible.

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

[–] EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Time for a mid life crisis then

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Wish I could afford a midlife crisis

Doesn't scare me, cancer does.

Fuck you OP. I still have 2.5 years. Don't remind me

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

[–] Tonava@sopuli.xyz 1 points 48 minutes ago (1 children)

Yeah I never expected to even reach thirty with my self-destructing body and ever worsening mental health. Every year towards fourty is quite the achievement

[–] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 34 minutes ago

That's how I'm trying to see it... age is a gift not everyone gets

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

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

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.

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 7 points 12 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.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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.

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 5 points 11 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.

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

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 11 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.

[–] dgdft@lemmy.world 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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 12 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago
[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 36 points 20 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.

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 32 points 23 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 32 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I've always considered it the latter.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 23 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.
