Pessimist has only one arm
The engineer: The glass is two times bigger than it needs to be.
Honestly, for a community (lemmy) that wanted to get away from corporate stuff (reddit) it pains me to see how even the most basic thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).
I've come to the conclusion in the last couple weeks I simply can't identify AI images anymore. I have no clue what about this makes everyone call it out as AI, and there's have been many such instances of this happening with me lately. I'm going to get modern day Nigerian princed when I'm older I can feel it in my bones
The reason this one is blatant AI is that the imagery doesn’t make any sense. Why is the glass of water itself the optimist?
I fed it into ChatGPT, highlighted the errors, and told it what I wanted to be different.

Excuse me. Who are you to talk down to a glass of water like that. Can't you just mind your own business and let the glass be optimistic.
A year ago ai couldn't even make any sort of recognisable text, now it can do it flawlessly
Most of it for me is the font. It seems like chatgpt likes to use the same font for everything
It also kind of feels off somehow. I can't explain. it, but there's just something wrong with this image
I mean.. for me it’s the “why the fuck is the glass talking?”
Left guy has 1 arm. Both guys have an arm that melds into the surface that the glass is sitting on. The "optimist" is the glass.

Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates
Sometimes it’s easier to rewrite genetics than update Excel

Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don't work 🤣 can't make that stuff up.
I mean, I know of a Microsoft product that allows for a batch import of data provided in an Excel file. You need to use their template file. Which, when used, automatically formats all dates the American way, ignoring your locale settings. Depending on which date is first encountered on import (e.g. which date you entered in the first line) then designates whether the whole file is imported with dates read as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY.
You start your list on January 1st? It will import everything as MM/DD/YYYY then. You start you list on e.g. January 22nd? DD/MM/YYYY it is then. Good luck getting that import running without errors...

Nothing works in Excel. Excel will do what it wants.
But that doesn't stop the MS support and a thousand stupid people from claiming "oh, you just have to format it as text, are you dumb or what"...
it's funny how you can tell at a glance exactly what model generated this image, just based off the background color
just based off the background color
... white?
technically I guess it's between Cosmic latte and Desert sand
..I had to look those up but it's definitely not a plain white
