They’re doing some genre-defining work in the field of repulsive AI food renderings at the New Mexico State Fair.
Just the most godawful AI image of shiny cookie butter oozing out of a loose seam resembling the disgusting mouth of a hagfish in the side of a hyper detailed sopapilla covered in what resembles potting soil.

Even as the deepfaking has gotten more sophisticated, the rule of “know who took the photo” can stop you from falling for 99% of them. Citing your sources is always good, but it’s also the baseline for fighting disinformation.

Many years ago (before ChatGPT/DALL-E) @kylec.bsky.social and I were on a panel about misinformation, and we got a question about deepfakes. At the time, I said “deepfake videos worry me less than an AP photo of a riot, stripped of a caption, claiming to be live from a protest.”

Heathcliff and several of his fans are laughing together in a big blimp with the word "DANK" printed in huge letters on its side. Heathcliff's girlfriend, Sonja, looks up at the blimp angrily, as a couple watches on. One of them says "She's tired of the dank blimp."

Heathcliff meets a fish monger outside the fish market. They're both wearing mascot costumes of themselves, holding their masks- Heathcliff is dressed in a Heathcliff mascot costume, and the fish monger is dressed in a fish monger mascot costume. The fish monger looks at Heathcliff and says "You do you."

Some other single panels I’ve saved over the years, including the Greatest Panel’s spiritual sequel. @nancycomics.bsky.social @cashbrowns.bsky.social
A Nancy panel featuring Nancy holding a gun (punchline: it’s a squirt gun) walking with purpose toward a door. Sluggo is in the foreground, facing away from us (we’re looking over his shoulder) as he looks at Nancy. His speech bubble contains a single question mark. 

This is basically a Twin Peaks tableau.Nancy says to Sluggo “DON'T STAND THERE, SLUGGO-THE F.B.I. WILL GET YOU”. Sluggo, confused, looks over his shoulder and realizes the sledgehammer he’s carrying for some reason is lined up with a poster for Garden Implements that contains a handheld sickle, forming the symbol of the October Revolution and thE Soviet Republic.The spiritual sequel to the Greatest Panel features Nancy this time, also laying on her back in “midair,” also saying a single “NO”, while she is tucked in to sleep in a dresser drawer.

Nearly 20 years ago (?!) I ran the second panel through a rasterizer and used the copiers at the Rocky Mountain News (RIP) to print all like 30 pages. Just to hang in my apartment because I had no other idea how to decorate. I painted over the pixels with tempera and just … hung it up. Sluggomaxxing
An idiot 20-something with few discernible life skills sits on the floor of an apartment he could barely afford, painting over the pixelated outline of a Nancy comic strip panel featuring Sluggo floating on his back in mid-air, with a speech bubble reading “NO”. 

I first saw it on a Boing Boing post calling it the greatest comic panel of all time and it has really stuck with me through every season of my life since then, evidenced by the no fewer than seven copies of the image I found when searching through my photo library. 

Yes, I’m in my early 40s now and yes, I’ve considered getting a tattoo of it several times. Is that a crime now? Are you going to arrest me for thought crimes?

My photography has been digital since my photojournalism days & I can absolutely do vibe-ier and more legible art photos with my Fuji than I ever could with film. You nailed it with “experience,” because I *shoot* digital with film techniques in mind but I could never get back into that film grind.
