Anybody accusing Loish of using AI is just admitting that they never paid any attention to online art spaces for the last couple decades.

My guaranteed Record Scratch is when I tell people I was in the Army. And when I was in the Army. And what I did in the Army.

I’m going to start a petition to change the lyrics from “Isn’t it Ironic?” To “Isn’t this some Bullshit!?” Cuz all those things are the bullshit that happen at the worst time.

The AI didn’t know what a box and whisker plot was, so it made a very confusing bar graph with none of the data it was provided. It even had a garbled watermark.

Where was I 25 years ago? I woke up for French I at Kirkwood Community College and flipped on the radio to the news just before the second plane hit. I woke up my roommates (who had TVs) and saw everything else unfold. Being in the army reserve at the time made the subtext bonkers.

Dumpy promised us $5,000 if his party stays in power. On top of the $5,000 Doge dividend from early 2025. On top of the $2,000 tariff rebate check promised in 2025 On top of the annual $1,000 – $1,500 annual rebates from gutting healthcare plans. On top of lowering gas prices. On top of winning.

The Apollo dodgeball meme where it's 4 girls in a beautiful green lawn. One of them in first plane is marked as "Apollo" and she's ready to throw a red dodgeball where it reads "the gift of prophecy". She's aiming at a group of three girls in the back plane marked as "random internet users just trying to be comedic"

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
Miss Piggy and Dolly Parton in fancy dresses posing together photo of Tim Curry surrounded by muppets, smiling for a photo. A quote from curry is added “it didn’t go very well. It didn’t survive the shoot. She felt I wasn’t being faithful to her” it’s him discussing his ill fated affair with miss piggy

Vaccines are studied before they are released and have been proven to keep children alive and free of deadly disease. Parents with no schooling relying on bullshit “research” on Facebook and you tube are nothing but negligent parents and should be treated as such.

“Note that (in-house AI slop) graphics do not contain an internal watermark, but one that is part of the metadata. You’ll understand it better than I do.” You’re the goddamn manager of the art team. You SHOULD understand this. You get paid a lot more for understanding less than we do.
