Saturday Side Quest - AI Fails & the litRPG

Where has faith and fandom intersected this week?

This week brought about some interesting things for me. I’ve been in a weird cross-section of things going well and then quite poorly.

I continue to be amazed at and baffled by the efficacy (or lack thereof) of AI generation. I rendered an image that truly brought up the opposite meaning that it was supposed to. I needed a thumbnail and decided to give a new thumbnail generator a try. I needed something that gave across the vibe of encouragement for lonely gamers to celebrate a toolkit for loneliness I found from Humble Bundle. But then the AI decided to twist the knife deeper.

You can imagine my surprise. I burst into laughter and quickly moved on to making my thumbnail. For all of the amazing things that AI can assist with, I remain consistently unimpressed with image generation.
