wtf is going on with his feet
(he said, already knowing the answer)
AI
it’s amazing how that isn’t even what tipped me off, it just vaguely looks like AI, which is a tad strange for such a simple style
AI seems to really love that extreme high contrast side-lighting on everything. Then the text itself is irregular in a very non-human kind of way, like there’s no natural processes that would result in an ‘E’ like the one in ‘BECAUSE’.
Then you’ve got the person’s face, which if it were drawn by an artist of the skill level we’d expect from the rest of the piece, one would imagine they’d do a better job of conveying some sort of personality or emotion.
AI Art is fundamentally antisocial because it’s the Art equivalent of the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle; it took less effort for OP to create that than it did to pick apart exactly why it feels so unsatisfying and unsettling in all the wrong ways. Always downvote AI Art.
Draw your own shitposts. Also post shitposts
Unless the definition has changed over the years, a shitpost is just something that took little to no effort. All genAI posts are therefore shitposts.
Oh man people love a pendant. AI sucks that’s all that matters.
I wasn’t being pedantic; I was being facetious. 😌
That was being pedantic. :)
“Shitposting” describes the act, not the content. Posting content “that took little to no effort” to produce is just spam. It doesn’t matter if a human made it or not.
The content is just absurd, stupid, or controversial. Genai images fit that, too.
Sure, but not by definition. Posting slop and spam is different than shitposting. This post is just slop.
Ah, what a marvelous idea, we should look to the present!
[reads the news]
… Hm. I think I may have noticed a problem with this theory.
This isn’t a shitpost. This is straight up TRUTH.
It’s AI slop
But the message isn’t wrong
It is quite logical to search for something in the place where it might be (future) and not in the place where it obviously isn’t (present).
Searching for something in a place you’ll never reach is about as useless. By the time you reach it, it’s no longer called the future. All there is is the here and now. It’s ever changing and infinite, so keep looking.
Hello, Deme…gogue :)
The future is just a moment of now shifted forward. Anything you will find then you can find now.
Genetically modified cat girls exist right now??? Where???
They might exist somewhere lol space is vast
Cheesy, but very true.
The idea is good enough that it would’ve deserved at least some effort in the final execution.
The top 5 regrets from people that are about to die. Stop worrying and just touch the grass.
Not having the courage to live a life true to oneself, instead of the life others expected.
Working too hard and missing out on life.
Not expressing feelings.
Not staying in touch with friends.
Not allowing oneself to be happier.
Honestly, if I wheren’t addicted to Lemmy or Reddit, I would have a pretty decent life.
Eugh.
If you have enough money to not worry about your next month’s rent, it’s rather easier to “live in the present”.
This feels like a live laugh love vibe, no offense. I’m not just at a place to accept this… uh, “wisdom.”
My line of thought for this is that stressing about whether you’ll have enough money to cover rent won’t make it any easier to cover rent. Happiness is more about mindset than circumstances. It is easier said than done, for sure, but if one needed to have 0 problems to be happy, there wouldn’t be many happy people.
Consider a millionaire who checks the markets one day only to realize their portfolio has dropped by 30% wiping out all of their gains for the past two years and leaving them with only 3 million. They’d probably not be very happy with that, despite still being in a position that many would trade everything to be in.

No… but if you don’t worry about it at all, you won’t pay it. You need to be able to pay it. Which means having to get money. Which means having to do things. Which means having to plan. Which means thinking about the future.
I do not see how your millionaires explanation is in any way relevant, as they are still won’t be living from paycheck to paycheck.

It’s called nostalgia
I value my unhappiness. I’ve always thought the monk nirvana “be happy sitting cross legged on the floor thinking nothing all day for the rest of your life” ideal is selfish and almost worthless. I have ambitions, and if I was just happy with the present I’d have little reason to pursue them.
You hope for it in the future because it doesn’t exist in the present.
I looked at this with suspicion, decided it wasn’t AI, then I went into the comments and got convinced otherwise. It’s scary.
