Went to an exhibition of various models and sets made by stop-motion studio Laika at the miniature museum in Lyon. The amount of effort that goes into making these films is overwhelming. The thought that any of this could be replaced by generative AI is ludicrous.

This is as close to an unaltered scan of the original image I can find. Whatever you used had been through AI at some point, which created the artifacts I recognized.

Adjusted for inflation and converted to euros, "Never pay more than 20 bucks for a game" is €42. I guess I'm not buying that new Sonic Racing game so.

Got to love a website called Sustainability Times illustrating its article on the impending destruction of the world due to climate change with an AI image. Could you not have used any of the thousands of stock volcano images already in existence? Get in the bin.

Well of course not. Firstly Michael J Fox wouldn't be all that believable as a teenager considering he's 64, and also the movie already exists.
