    I feel like a real plumber would look at this, and just say “Now what the hell have you got going on HERE??? NO NO NO NO NO!!! This is all wrong! Copper pipes aren’t meant to be an asthetic! Why are there so many stupidly designed pipes??? And what the hell are you doing to that wrench??? Nooooo, none of this adds up! This isn’t real! This has to be a simulation! I’m living in a simulation! A poorly made simulation!”

    Then he takes out a gun to kill himself, but it morphs into several tangled copper pipes vaguely resembling a gun and shoots out water.

    “THATS NOT HOW PIPES WORK!!! IT’S NOT EVEN CONNECTED TO ANYTHING!!! WHERE’S THE WATER SOURCE???”

      Was going to mention how my company did a stupid powerpoint slide and filled it with computer generated graphics, and it struck me that the only thing I remember from this presentation is how dumb the graphics were.

      You had these melty corporate “people” working on laptops with screens on the wrong side, and that’s all I remember; how fucking ugly and shitty it all looked, and how annoyed I was at the waste of time. I don’t recall the subject matter at all.

      It felt like, if they can’t be bothered to put together a proper presentation, and instead just fill it with ugly computer generated bullshit, then why should I put effort into taking that in? My take-away from the entire thing is that I miss clip art. Which is funny because clip art makes everything shit.

    Their disgusting over use of AI shows that they don’t respect human workers anyway; even many of the current republican voters will understand this, and jump ship.

    Their overuse of AI imagery shows that they believe in post truth leadership. Trump posted a fucking picture of himself walking with a star wars aliens and passed it off as real.

    Then the official disclosure (also lies) described that species as being like 4 feet tall, rather than taller than Trump, showing he has no attention to detail and doesn’t even read his own memos.

    Can someone actually fucking deal with this deranged despot? The most expensive thing we can do to the Zionist regime in Israel is force them to buy another president. Get Trump out of the oval office.

      If you just pull a sink from a photo or stock photo, you have to Photoshop it. That takes skill.
