What I love about AI images like this is that it looks like there's so much detail and you could spend forever taking a closer look and then when you try there's nothing there

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 41 points 8 months ago

Kind of an appropriate emblem of living in the second gilded age.

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 months ago

It would actually be fun to use AI to draft the architecture of a building like this and then meticulously paint in all the details.

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

I like how there's architecture, trees, and roads that go straight into a wall... all built underground!

2001 Space Odyssey vibes

I saw Funhaus on YouTube play a game of "eye tracker" with ai handshakes. The prompt for the person in the hot seat was 'just look at the real handshake'. Hilarity ensued. Going to try it with the family at Christmas this year.

Isn't that already an art style though? Like the dude who made paintings out of just dots?

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

No that's more about style, the AI here isn't doing it on purpose, it's just doesn't have the fidelity/ability to provide those little details. Meaning when you zoom in everything generally gets blurry and messy.

It would be like if you opened up one of those cross section books, but when trying to actually see the insides everything was off.

Stephen Biesty is a great example of the kind of meticulously drafted artwork that AI is total dogshit at trying to imitate.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Is this from The Way Things Work?

[-] jacksilver@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

No, it's a drawing by Stephen Biesty as pointed out by @GraniteM. It seems like it might be from Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections but he did a number of books about illustrated cross sections.

The Congress delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke...

And as the bridge of Khazad-dūm began to crumble, Gandalf the Grey uttered a falling warning…

Vote you fools

They found the circus. The clowns came flying out.

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 42 points 8 months ago

It's been a while since I've been to DC... but it looks like they've done a wonderful job of bringing those swathes of valuable and desirable plots of land back to nature!

... /s obviously, and unfortunately.

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 33 points 8 months ago

Shoot I knew this was fake just because it shows bedrock directly underneath the surface in an area known to be a former swamp…

[-] Raxiel@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago
[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 9 points 8 months ago

I heard it got drained.

[-] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

Haha good point!

The joys of image generation, I haven't really considered what the older generations will start posting with it

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Meh. I wouldn't worry too much. When was the last time you saw someone use that filter that makes you look like a dog?

I like the line in 'Halt and Catch Fire.' "The first week after I got a printer every letter I sent looked like a ransom note.'

[-] bbuez@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Oh I should have clarified, I find this hilarious, image generation as a way into the imagination of a qanon or whoever is absolute gold lol, also adding that to my watch list

[-] jh29a 0 points 8 months ago

I'd love to insert some comment about curbing our stereotypes against old people a little, even if the Captured Poster looks old on the pfp.

[-] bbuez@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Well you did insert that comment, if I wanted to be insensitive maybe I would call them boomers, or the leaded generation. Maybe tech illiterate is better suited for my comment, feel free to replace it in your mind

[-] jh29a 1 points 8 months ago

Sorry, the thing I assumed you thought was that the older generations want AI to realize these prompts due to their political beliefs. I was then trying to say that "Donald Trump and the existence of the deep state" is a shallow model of the political beliefs of the older generations.

I don't think that "tech illiterate" solves my problem, because surely there are tech illiterate old boomer Biden Supporters who don't believe in conspiracy theories? Do you have these prompts from somewhere else, and were you actually hinting at the fact that tech illiterate people just tell the AI what they want without the Prompt Engineering Fluff, or that they say the same prompt 5 times? You did actually clarify in your other reply, speaking of "the imagination of qanon".

[-] jh29a 1 points 8 months ago

Tangentially: I'm not even sure some group labeled 'deep state fearing MAGAphiles' would write these prompts. Through the European Lens of absolutely no first hand experience with a member of this group, I would guess that if one were to fear the deep state as if it existed, the first thing to do would not be to use a tool that completely makes up every detail of it. I assume one would also have to be manipulative to create an image that does not even convey anything they think they know about the deep state, because it's so generic, but is still intended to proliferate belief of the deep state. In the end, this image could also be some kind of troll, pulled by whoever, maybe some satirist from the Netherlands, and the Captured Poster could have reposted this instead.

[-] bbuez@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Sorry, thats a lot to read, feel free to substitute my comment with whatever makes you happy

[-] late_night@sopuli.xyz 24 points 8 months ago

I want to make this my base in Minecraft

[-] Rekonok@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

This is my Starbound base I will sue those memestealers

[-] Blackout@kbin.run 16 points 8 months ago

I've been under the Capitol building before and the only thing there is a chuck e cheese. There is no deep state conspiracy, just a love of cardboard flavored pizza and video games.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

You fool, under that is where they keep the children!

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Under the pizza or under the video games?

Either way, it must be some tiny children if nobody's found them yet!

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

There are still freeways even in the top secret underground Illuminati city. Seems about right for America.

On what level do the lizard people live? We need some annotations!

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

Anywhere below -20

They don't like the light

[-] tills13@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Boomers are so cooked with AI

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago

The tunnels where democrats store the mole children, right? I hate the future.

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 8 months ago

Lol... this is actually what the Austin/TX capitol is like. I think they call it the "underground annex".

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 5 points 8 months ago

Massive if true.

[-] Nacktmull@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Reptilians where?
