I think the name of the artist is AI based on that plane to bird animorphs book cover on the top right

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Was gonna say, that left hand looks pretty fucked up

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 22 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Not necessarily a sign of AI but that rainbow flag in the bottom left would be absolutely massive

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Her legs cross over in a weird way too. Totally tracks that a reactionary would make this in order to get mad at it though.

Clouds on the far left and right center of the frame are the same cloud.

Horseshoe theory proven correct 😔

No, they are not, they are two stylistically similar but different clouds- they are shaped completely differently

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

Maybe it's supposed to be a sign that they're trying to hide their buldge?

But maybe I'm giving the alleged artist too much credit, could be AI.

[–] PapaStevesy@midwest.social 9 points 9 months ago

And the colors are out of order on that one.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

AI shit and false information is going to absolutely decimate the already slightly floundering use of the world wide web. The web started dying about a decade ago.

Plus the buildings in the background are melting into each other and in a genersted sludge way not a lazy artist not wanting to do backgrounds way. Also the weird foot on the bent leg

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

Yeah, missing right foot and a butthole left hand. There are signs

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

I think that could just be an actually clever reference to the phrase people would say when they saw Superman flying:

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Superman!

But it's probably also a reference to trans people in a transphobic way because you have one thing transforming into something totally other as if to indicate its absurdity and impossibility. But maybe could still work like the rest of this image. I think it's cool.

AI art, peep the hands and the legs crossing

[–] Poison_Ivy@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

And the flag and airplane birds

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Abs all the way up the rib cage

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

She's an alien, it's allowed goku-halal

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have that haircut lmao

Chuds love accidentally making leftists look badass don't they?

Hot take: using AI to generate agitprop is good if it allows comrades with no artistic skill to create something they otherwise would not have.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I would argue it's even more powerful in the hands of someone with artistic skill, between eliminating busywork and their own ability covering for its shortcomings. If it can cut down the work involved in turning a starting sketch into a finished piece then it stands to reason that someone with talent can make use of that even more effectively and use it to amplify their own skilled labor. Even modest talent is enough to go and clean up its flaws, so surely even greater talent could make even better use of it.

The conclusion I've come to it on it is that it's a powerful piece of productive capital and the fact that Capitalists will misuse it to cause considerable harm shouldn't stop us from seizing it for ourselves as well - Capitalists have used every new piece of productive capital for harm, and that never stopped the left from repurposing captured machines and factories before. We cannot stop the problems it's causing and will cause without defeating them entirely, and abstaining from technology out of pride or disgust with its use by Capitalists means we get weaker even as they get stronger.

Why do you think that so much AI generated stuff is click bait or big boob anime girl? Because the people making it have no creativity.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago

Yeah. Like I started watching the Stable Diffusion community to keep up to date on new developments and resources, and like 90% of the people involved should be locked up for a variety of reasons, and even the more innocent of them are mostly treatbox addicts marveling wide eyed at the tech and eagerly sharing whatever nonsense it spat out in much the same way as a child talking about a dream they had.

Still, I can't help but be impressed by the tech itself and how accessible the open source local models are - a midrange gaming rig can easily run them well, and even some AMD cards can handle it ok (with the caveat that some individual cards seem to just hard crash at random with ROCm, like my 6800, which has left me too anxious to do much with it since I've started feeling a spike of panic every time I hit generate and the fans start spinning up). It doesn't require some $5K+ card like commercial AIs do, and the strongest open source tools right now are absurd already.

I'm convinced that in the right hands it's got to be an amazing tool, and my cynical and pragmatic side says we should seize upon it and see what heights it can be taken to instead of just leaving it to be a vapid treatbox for the worst people alive.

God I love when my heroes make sphincters with their fists.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Best way to fight crime is a fist full of cat arse holes...

"Comics woke" has to be the absolute bottom wrung of the culture war ladder. Who even?

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago

First, lets tackle a pitfall that irks Rightists to this day. if you make your characters naturally handsome, fit, and well-groomed, then it becomes increasingly difficult to properly mock them. Beauty is self-evident, and the character in this piece is good looking.

Lmao what's up with the building waving that big-ass flag in the background?

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago
[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 17 points 9 months ago

That's actually her pet flag faithfully following behind her.

[–] IMF_DOOM@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago
[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago

Damn this is an incredible peace of art

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 11 points 9 months ago

They still can't help but make their woke parody incredibly hot.

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

YOOO actually goes hard, but it feels like ai (f)art for some reason.

[–] NPa@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The half airplane/half bird in the top corner thonk

[–] Skeleton_Erisma@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Ah yes @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net airlines (probably)

swole-chonk

[–] lapis@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

EDIT: oh, neat, apparently this is AI "art", hate that

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah now that I look at it closely it's got a lot of errors. The birds, her foot

[–] lapis@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

yeah, and it's unfortunate, because I initially loved it.

but I still find it hilarious the fact that this is some conservative's idea of bad wokeism , at least.

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

Gays will see this and just think "Hell Yeah"
