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

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 40 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.

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 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

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.

80s kid here: it's not that bad and mostly what you decide to make out of it. still playing magic the gathering, minecraft and irl boardgames :)

80s kids play Minecraft? I was almost 30 when that was released and definitely missed that boat

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My 7 year old loves Minecraft and I've been learning about it, but could never see myself choosing to play it independently

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Lookup all the stuff you can do with Redstone. You can teach computer science inside Minecraft.

I started playing it late 20s. It really is a game anyone can enjoy. Particularly the Java version with modpacks (some of these modpacks are probably actually unplayable by children because of how complicated and technical they are).

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 8 points 3 days ago (2 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.

a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 35 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I've always considered it the latter.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 4 days 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.

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

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

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

Well la dee da lease on life, some of us have joint problems and it's going to get worse

Did an AI try to recreate this image?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days 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.

I was a kid and an adult in the 90s, this is so confusing 😅

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Kid in the 1890's, adult in the 1990's? 🤔

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

[–] EstonianGuy@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Time for a mid life crisis then

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wish I could afford a midlife crisis

Now would probably be a good time to start stretching before bed and warming up in the morning.

[–] Beldarofremulak@discuss.online 9 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Exercise, cut the sugar, drink water, sleep, orgasm.

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

But the kid gets away but we won't get away from time.

The dreaded event happens in 8 days for me.... Its so close, I can hear it around the corner.

We all age and die. What matters is what we do with our lives.

It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.
