Re: Playing with a kindly AI

There's a rumour around that the latest version of one of the main art AIs, I think it's Stable Diffusion, can do hands and fingers. It took a while. It's interesting to me how this was a blindspot, and it comes down to how they draw. They're not drawing, basically the AI doesn't know how many finge...

Re: Shazam! Fury of the Gods

It speaks to the stupidity of DC that they seriously thought this movie was a better bet than Batgirl when they decided which one to bin.
