sorry mutuals if you reblog AI generated images, i can will and must point them out as such 😔
i highly encourage everyone to be far more skeptical of any and all rendered images they see, particularly those with a dreamlike quality. scrutinize the small details, like jewelry, tattoos, strands of hair, flower bunches, the points of stars, or the way cloth folds. sometimes AI can manage to produce some sophisticated hands and eyes, but sometimes there are no organic figures to reference and the devil always truly lies in the details.
this one just appeared on my dash, and with it’s nice palette and convincing textures it could pass as a nice photobash mockup of a fantasy room.
except. what is going on with the filigree? why are half the stars misshapen blobs? what is the design on the headboard supposed to be? what’s going on with the lantern and its reflection? what’s happening to the perspective in the corner? what in the hell is the thing in the top right even supposed to be?
the longer you look, the more it resembles that famous image that’s supposed to represent having a stroke.
all my homies hate ai generated images and i encourage everyone to take just a little bit more time looking over rendered pieces they see. i find that these days, thanks to this, i am admiring the small details used by real artists even more.
Not if you want to do it regularly or consistently.
ffxiv fandom is in shambles bc they were running a raffle for (reserved) fanfest tickets, but like fuckin no one got them, probably due to the fact someone reached out to discover the total number of tickets is 15000 – meaning, that since every raffle winner got two tickets guaranteed, only 7500 people won. total. brother, i have been in queues to get in the game longer than 7500 people.
People are defending the 15k attendees amount and I have no idea how to tell them, with my 20+ years of going-to-cons experiences, that 15k attendees is a chump number that cons with backing laugh at. ACen has 40k people yearly. Fanime gets 34k. Blizzcon gets 40k. With the location they picked and the amount of people that play NA, I expected at least 30k tickets, if not 50k.
Wait wait. 15,000 attendees? That’s TINY. Dragon*Con has something like 80,000 attendees and of other things hosted in Vegas, DEFCON has 25,000 (and was ONLY cash at the door until 2021) and CES has 150,000.
