Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for October 03, 2024

For those who don’t get it, those AI-based image generators often produce a person with extra limbs or even heads for some reason.

seems to have “borrowed” it’s inspiration from a few well-known works

I like it!

What’s its title? The Ultimate Easter Statue of Medusa?

It ain’t no intelligence at all. It just a steenky computer program. The name AI is all just steenky marketing gimmicks.

I’ve got most of them (even the more recent American one)… but not the two hands under the chin (unless one might be Rodin’s Thinker)…

Pretty impressive!

That’s cuz you’re running that cheap software in your bot, ya cheapskate.

Alfred Inkbot.

AI is an oxymoron.

Looks it.

AI possessed by Durga.

You’ve got to give Dave a lot of credit here. He’s taken a subject which is very much in the public sphere, but which not too many cartoonists have incorporated into their humour – at least not from what I have seen.

AI was used his year for NFL kickoffs, said it would make the game more exciting for the viewers. This is a big miss, bring back the old kickoffs, they are more exciting.

He lies (or failed to follow the AI design). The hands lack the extra fingers that are typical of AI.

cool… what is it? :\

Lord Shiva on a confusing day?

The precursor to all of this was the movie “Colossus: The Forbin Project”. Great movie, but a little dated. Actually, could use a remake. Then came the Terminator led by SkyNet.

Kali would like a word.

I’ve played with AI to generate some pictures for me. Sometimes it creates stunning results. Sometime it just doesn’t “get it,” and other times bombs entirely like adding extra limbs,

It can produce cartoonish images that are suitable to accompany articles I write.

I would never trust AI for air defense. As a pilot I’ve asked it to generate aircraft images. One would think that with thousands of real world images online to use as an example, it could even come close. It fails miserably every time.

There doesn’t seem to be a statue of limitations.

Interesting though ….

Yep, as always, stupid is as stupid does ! ;-)

No. The hands look too good.

AI is worst than a committee…

Dave just wants to make sure that if someone uses the prompt “Create a cartoon in the style of Dave Coverly” they get really peculiar results…

I thint it look pretty good.

Nobody cares anymore.
