I was so surprised when i opened lemmy this morning and didn't see a single post about him turning 100 today, thank you for taking the effort!

I didn't realize his birthday was coming up and when I started seeing his name all over the news headlines a couple days ago I had a minor heart attack because I thought he died.

"It is an especially special individual as he is one of the last of his kind"

Couldn't just cut out one picture and put it on another picture of him? This had to be made with AI??

downvoted for ai usage

He is the only person to have won BAFTA Awards in black-and-white, colour, high-definition, 3D and 4K resolution.

That's actually a pretty cool fact!

Downvote for irrelevancy.

Why slop? Using a service contributing excessive harm to the very thing he's spent his life promoting. Not very appropriate.

Ratio

Make memes and post them, stop bitching about content.

Edit: Half of these downvotes (E: now only like a fifth) are alts of Green Bean Machine.

LISTEN UP ALL YOU PEDANTIC LITTLE HYPOCRITES

I invented memes and I'll make'em however the fuck I want with whatever tool suits me

I'll make'em with gimp
I'll make'em on a napkin
I'll make'em in Paint
I'll boil'em, I'll mash'em
I'll jesus jizz your mama and call it a relic
I'm well on my way to the circles of hell kid

I'm an artist. And the value of my art is 10x any damage done by the origin of my canvas

AI is bad? No shit Sherlock. And there is literally nothing you can do to stop it you naive twerps

Stop pontificating and go blow grass

Ew ai sucks and if you make ai slop...........

Your meme implies the people who are against AI are 'techno illiterate' but it's the opposite, really. People who use AI to do things either can't figure out how to do it themselves or can't be assed to do it themselves. It creates trash and makes it so the users can't recognize trash

orders burger at drive through

asks for no pickles

I'm a chef

Not your art, not your canvas.

do, you like know the platform you're on?

How is he still alive? At least they let us keep one good one.

*sapiens'

Not an artist, just a fragile snowflake.

I was hoping it was good old fashioned Photoshop

He looks pretty good for 100

I hear ya, I wish it had been! It wouldn't have been difficult to do so. Check out the little icon in the bottom right corner. That's a watermark from one of those AI image generating applications.

Y u mad bro? Is looking for shiny objects in robot vomit not as rewarding as you wanted it to be?

Who?

I'd make one myself but I'm tired and sleepy and got at least 10 other projects on my backlog

The hypocrisy is mind boggling

Haha, I feel you there! I'm right there with you. I hope you get some good, restful sleep soon and make some good progress on your projects :)

Thank you, and likewise!

(Got some restful sleep, will make progress next)

You're right, sharing an image you downloaded is totally the same as updating the job killing, environment destroying image machine to cosplay being an artist. So I drew a portrait for you, fellow "artist", just now.

It's bespoke

Lol, get a life. Stop hating on people

Shh.. Don't let em know we still have one.

Okay, I do agree that that is art.

Stop whining about your own consequences, stop being a slave to your ego, and learn to draw
