This is a hand painted chicken by my mom from many years ago. Is this top chicken worthy?

Is there an industry term for a user experience like this? I'm seeing it increasingly everywhere. I'd call it chip slop.

youtube "Asl for videos any way you like [beta]" ui with chips for "Exploring new places" "Looking for adventure" "Give me renovation ideas" "Building cool stuff" and so on, then a text entry input field and "Done" button --- I call this whole thing "Chip slop"

The robot wrote the copy. It clearly found a transcript here and is making a funny.

I went to LUMINSCENE in Minneapolis on Saturday. It was fantastic. Great music, narrators, and lights. Highly recommended.

Inside, the projectors are lighting everything

That's not what the ceiling normal looks like

I don't often repost and steal material from the other place but this so good. Pokemon + NYC + Election crossover. (I don't live there, just a fan.)

A joke of what a mayoral candidate (Zohran) could do in a hypothetical world where Pokemon wild zones existed. Central Park in it's entirety is Zone 20.

I asked two different robots to figure out what shape was made with this connect the dots. One suggested a rocket ship and another suggested a star. I can see why this would be a challenge.
