MAN I HATE AI
i truly, genuinely believe this is just the next flying cars scare. everyone's so scared this will change the world or whatever, while it probably will never do anything cause it actually sucks. ai is only good at pretending to be smart.
anyway
I have unwittingly witnessed a new level of the absurd. Behold, the AI-generated equine anatomy models.
Ah yes, my favourite parts of the equine body. Paster and... *looks at the smudged writing on hand* boob. At least this one looks purely decorative and the being actually looks like a horse. But don't worry, it gets worse.
If we completely ignore the hipopotamus musculature of this one, there's still a lot of things that don't make sense in this one, like a tail that ends in a series of bone spikes and a complete lack of molars. You could make a cool pokemon on the basis of this, but it's not even in the realm of being an actual anatomy help.
I'm firmly convinced this is not a horse, this is something that really, really wants you to think it is a horse. The more you look, the more things look... wrong. The more details turn out to be shifted, bones crammed in to fill in the familiar form, its shape merely implied so that the human mind fills the gap. Of course the text seems like gibberish, because its anatomy is incomprehensible. it's either a parasite or a monster and in each case, it's an eldtrich body horror. I'm kind of angry at how well this joke writes itself.

"Licking the sand" was a euphemism for doing the dirty work/something no one else wanted to do. I said, "Well, someone had to lick the sand," as I was murdering my boss.

fucking hate that everyone now finds it so fun to call everyone a narcissist. that's an actual disorder people, humans who you should care about, struggle with. not scary monsters, people. and now everyone uses it like its a synonym for evil. did we all forget people can have character flaws without it being a disorder? next time, try using selfish or cruel instead of narcissistic cause thats what you actually mean.
