    Afaik there was a trend a while back of people generating these sepia-toned Ghibli style images, and they were so goddamn popular that they ended up basically biasing the training data of the models themselves to the point that they just started making shit yellow for no reason.

    No, I’m pretty sure it’s more because adjusting colour balancing in photography, especially when applying filters to social media posts, prioritises warmer colours, which, paired with the fact that most scanned old documentation that’s still in image format has yellowed with age, and the most common light bulb colours, biases the model towards warmer/yellower tones.

    Doesn't have to be fully generated, the trend seems to be throwing actual comics into one of these shitty AI filters.

    The final product is, definitely. But unfortunately people will steal others' comics by running them through an AI filter to make an "original" comic to avoid copyright issues. So it's possible there is an original out there that someone drew, but not necessarily.

    i looked up "anti ai overlays", chose a glitchy rainbow one, put it over the black part only, duplicated it twice, made one layer "overlay" and one layer "multiply" i think, and then warped the altered layers to shit

    parent root
    2 points Excellent-Berry-2331

    The joke is that the pizza is "Universe-Ending"ly good. The first one (of the images in the slideshow) has no punchline.

    parent root
    1 points trillmill

    Yeah but why is the pizza destroying the fabric of reality funny. There's no punchline or context that makes this remotely funny unless you think randomness is funny

    parent root
    3 points CapitaoDemencia

    yeah i think randomness can be funny.

    parent root
    2 points SydneySoAndSo

    The first punchline is that instead of the button either giving a pizza or ending the universe, as it would in the "Will you press the button?" format, it does both at once. The second punchline is the idea that something as simple as a pepperoni pizza can somehow be world ending.

    It's surreal humor, if you don't find it funny, you don't find it funny, but that doesn't mean it isn't funny and saying so makes you sound snobbish instead.

    The first punchline is a stretch. I'm not trying to be snobby it just seems like high schooler humor

    parent root
    1 points SydneySoAndSo

    The first punchline is literally the whole concept.

    And regardless of intent, trying to dictate that something is definitively not funny or has no comedic merit is much closer to high school snob behavior than the joke being made here.

    You can just say you didn't get it or that it's not your brand of humor. You'll sound a lot less judgemental that way.
