That wolf has a spare hand on his shoulder.

That’s less disturbing than the otter who appears to be holding a cut off arm to comfort the bulldog. Perhaps he’s offering it as a snack?

The Otter has what is called a Bear Arm. Referencing his right to…

That bird is strangely satisfied by the whole thing. Definitely smiling. I know where I’d start looking for the perpetrator.

He probably planned it and sent the shooter.

Most Americans find a school shooting to be mildly infuriating
saltesc@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It would stop my nation for weeks and there’d be massive reform that everyone would get behind. The entire population would make sure it should never happens again.

The numbness about school shooting is one of the big things that convinced me to leave. I was never that good at being an American anyway, at least we have an excuse to suck at being Brits
unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth 2 weeks ago
In Canada they're currently bulldozing a school because a school shooting happened there.
kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
But only mildly.
Certainly not infuriating enough to do something about the problem…
kibblebits@quokk.au 2 weeks ago
I moved out of the country if that counts.

Thank God there have been enough school shootings in the past so we could learn how to be creative in our grief. /s
TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
They weren’t even being creative. It’s AI slop. To commemorate another school shooting. He future is bleak.
dhork@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I don’t have a problem with the sentiment behind this picture. I don’t even have a problem with the AI art style. But don’t people critically examine their work before using it?
How hard would it have been to tell the AI “Hey, please remove the extra hand on the wolf’s shoulder? It doesn’t belong there.” Isn’t that a thing you can do?
The main problem with AI slop isn’t that it’s slop, it’s that so many people think the raw slop is acceptable without any refinement.
Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
or they could get a human artist that understands life to do it.
tazeycrazy@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
But that will take time. We need to get this to the Facebook pages before then next disaster. We don’t want to be the third most relevent school shooting in the algorithm.

My daughters school cut their aftercare program because of lack of funding.
No chance in hell they have an artist budget
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Never mind that extra hand, wtf is the otter holding?
bstix@feddit.dk 2 weeks ago
Just offering a helping hand.

How can i show that i don’t actually care, but have people say, “it’s the thought that counts? “
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
It’s something you can do, whether the AI will do it is another matter
FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Something like this should have more thought and intent behind it than just “let’s just ask AI to do it”
jj4211@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Once they have that much care and thought, then they probably would have the thought of asking the art teacher or art students to do something vaguely meaningful.

I am over 500 years old and I have never once in my life seen someone dangle a pendant from the bottom of their t-shirt like that. Is this some new fetishwear that I’m not furry enough to know about?
voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
I think its ai slop of a dog collar

Fits right in with the disembodied limbs and creepy satisfied woodpecker

Hello 500-year-old Eldritch being. I am a furry with almost 20 years in the community. This has nothing to do with us and everything to do with artificial intelligence. Sloppification.

I’m not eldritch, I just look after myself

Why is there a heart on the dog’s crotch
TrapRag@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
For the same reason the beaver is holding a dismembered arm, it’s just ai slop.

What is it about AI characters and their facial expression that bother me? Is it because they try to use them in very complex context but can’t convey anything more than an emoji? There’s this creepy feeling like their eyes stare into the void.
AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I’m going to unironically say this is a skill issue with the prompt engineering.
Like you can imagine this is just some stupid prompt like “Characters A to F look very very sad at the bulldog crying on teh floor” or something like it. Like nothing that describes or shows how fucked up this situation is or some variety. It’s like “licked clean” of any kind of nuance. It makes you feel as empty as the heart of the one who generated it.
Compare that to some better AI slop (music video) that just goes in the other direction and throws the weirdness that AI can generate and then tries to form that into some kind of cohesive thing. Like you can hate it but the editor who assembled this layered it into something more complex, even though the individual scenes are pretty random and slop. At least the lyrics are (I think) human written.
Now imagine OP images with this kind of gusto about mascots reacting to a school shootings. Obviously it’s much less fun if it’s about anything serious.

Their eyes are almost all exactly the same. That makes it weird.

Hmm, if only something could be done about this guns-in-schools-obliterating-children problem 🤔
The NRA clearly values guns more than human life. This is some seriously fucked-up sick agenda.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
The comic sans really lends an air of solemnity to the whole thing.
VitoRobles@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
My job sends AI slop like this every morning.
Like a AI art thing with our logo, followed by dumb shit like “Labor day fun!” Or “school is in session!”

Did I miss another school shooting? Or is this an older one?
Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
“There have been many school shootings. You will have to be more specific.”
tazeycrazy@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
It used to be by number and city they where known now it’s not even that. The deaths of children are becoming less and less important.
IWW4@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Yeah, but so did everyone else.
FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’ve been hearing AI radio commercials more and more lately and while they don’t actually sound bad for annoying commercials I wonder what all of those voice actors will do now… Oh well.
Evotech@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

Or homelessness. Or suicide.

Pray harder. Prayers are like bullet proof vests for children. Conservatives have been trying to convince us of this for years.

Capitalization is also wrong. The school district needs to quit its job as a school district.
