    First, that is not your child. It is a fucking elephant.

    Second, I don’t care if the elephant says it has a high tolerance. You don’t shoot up anything with this much smack.

    Third, labeling this poor junkie elephant as an aspie is just cruel and unusual.

    I’m starting to think that a good portion of the antivaxx people are just afraid of needles.

      Well yes, it’s antivax slop and an anti-antivax comment pointing out how ridiculous it is

    “How can we let the reader know that the elephant in the room has autism?”

    “Well, how about if we have it wear a button that says, ‘I have autism”, you know, like people with autism do?”

    “Brilliant! And how do we let the reader know that the autism is from vaccinations?”

    “Easy! We just show a bunch of hypodermic syringes sticking out of it, like all of those vaccine-loving cuck doctors just stabbed it and left them there.”

    If vaccines were given in Pop-Tart form there wouldn’t be an antivax movement.

      They used to do sugar cubes saturated with vaccine for polio, we should go back to that. I know there are reasons they stopped using it, but Americans are definitely more likely to eat sugar than get vaccinated, so let’s just call it a wash in terms of health risks.

        There’s this reminded of a bit by Ari Matti where he goes “you people put sugar on your medicine. You know the rest of the world doesn’t do that?”

        Maybe vaccines laced with sugar is the answer America needs.

      “The elephant in the room”

    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I cannot work out why it’s an elephant. Probably because that’s just whatever the AI came up with and for some reason they just pick the first result

      source
      • TeddE@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Or because the idiom “the elephant in the room” is being depicted literally (insinuating their medicated autistic child is ‘an unfortunate unwanted fact’ - which I personally feel is derogatory to the child)

    i dont know how but it just FEELS like AI generated

    • KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      it’s the faces, the character shapes, but really that yellow hue across the image. Perhaps someone with some color theory knowledge could explain why ChatGPT generates images like that.

      • dontsayaword@piefed.social ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I read that it’s due to model collapse - the AIs are now trained on their own AI-generated content, like all the auto generated ghibli-style images.

      • Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed due to time in their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.

        source
      • Zink@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I wonder if it’s a white balance thing, as in the setting you’d see on a camera or in a post processing tool.

        For instance, consider that “soft” or “warm” light bulbs (say 3000K and below) are common in cozy indoor areas. They cast a much more yellow color of light compared with a daylight bulb or actual daylight, which will look very blue in comparison.

        It’s like the model detected that the image was people in a living room and it applied a warm white balance to the whole picture because most images of a family in the living room have warm lighting globally.

        But since it is a machine and apparently has not yet been explicitly taught that comics generally have bright colors and no strange tints, then it does not adjust accordingly.

        I wonder if that is even giving it too much credit. Maybe it’s just the deterioration from all the iterations of garbage in, garbage out.

        There’s definitely a sepia tone on most of it. Weird. Why would they go with a red flag so frequently?

      Someday artists are going to struggle to replicate this “look” in order to make memes and jokes.

    hbomberguy has a really great video about vaccines and autism, and how even their original correlation was incredibly weak

    source
    • chgxvjh@hexbear.net ⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      And the guy who promoted the study did it to sell his separate vaccines instead of the combined vaccines they give children.

        People looking in random directions and the overall super generic style gives it away as well.

    May be autism is caused by scientific medecine, and we would better trust scammers instead?

      I just want to know how to ensure I can get the good at math autism so I can get finance bro paychecks.

      source
      • peacepath@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        So you should get vaccinated and take some parcetamol while sick (but not too much)… and maybe, if there is an other life, who knows, you may be autistic in next life!

        If you want high wages in this life, the easiest is to be born in a rich family, and that would make you happy. Else, you may still try to become a philosopher ; it won’t make you rich, but it could be good for your mind…

    If your elephant needs pain relief, make sure to administer Tylenol orally.
