BREAKING: Zeni loses nearly $8k in the market!
Gemini replied to Poofy's topic in General Discussion
Yep. I mean it won't, but they're too up their own butts to figure that out. -
this is how maximum overdrive started

If it doesn't include a truck with this mask on the front, it doesn't count. -
^Hang in here, man. Two and a half more hours of work and I'm done for the evening.

Yes, I can definitely see that, too. And that doesn't surprise me either, to be honest. People have shown they can go overboard with something that's supposed to be beneficial to them in some way. That's one of the reasons why I personally haven't done it even though I was interested at first. I mean I could see myself getting multiple AI-generated pieces when one or two would've been just fine. (And another reason is apparently, they're being used by third-parties to track the various subjects, or so I've heard.) I just approached my original answer with a more creative aspect in mind. Like, for example, the creative choices a human artist can make in the middle of a portrait. Like why one may, for instance, mix in a bit of, say, light pink in with some paint in order to portray how someone's skin may look. The choices a human artist makes while creating a portrait of a human subject are done to convey a certain look or message through the painting. And it's these subtle nuances that can make the piece truly come alive, so to speak. (Now of course this may not be an accurate portrayal of the subject, but it doesn't always have to be as long as both have an agreed-upon image that they want to convey.)

May i answer the question as honestly as I possibly can? I think the problem is that there are several human artists who are willing and able to make similar art, capturing something even deeper within the subject of said art, like maybe a certain mood or feeling, and expressing that in a way only a human mind can through art. Granted, they usually have to be financially compensated for it, but it is how they make a living, after all. Now the disadvantage of human-generated art is it takes time to create something as good as the AI art. The cool thing about AI art is you can get multiple pieces at once. But to me, nothing beats human sensibility. (Of course, my answer may be biased for I have several friends who are artists that i met in college. I'd rather admit this here and now than it come up later.)

It's the need for air conditioning, isn't it? (I'm being a smartass. Don't mind me.) -
I want to get the 512GB version. But I'm gonna need to save up some money for that one. (Luckily, I can make enough to get one in about a week or two. Woot!)

Yes, they are. My last rental car was a RAV4 and it was totally decked out in special features! -

Gemini replied to 1pooh4u's topic in General Discussion
Oh, don't misunderstand me. I would love to have Bryce Young come to Houston. I'd rather us focus on improving our offensive line first and foremost before we look for our next, and hopefully, last attempt at a franchise QB for a long time. Can we somehow go back in time, get some of Roger Staubach's DNA, come back to this timeline, and clone him, please? Someone who can play like "Captain America" (in Staubach's case, he literally was a PT boat captain in Vietnam before he played a down in the NFL) may be what it takes to save our franchise from perpetual failure. (And even then, we need to find a way to keep him upright so my higher priority, personally, is the offensive line.) -

Gemini replied to scoobdog's topic in General Discussion
All I can say is I'm glad I don't read romance novels. Just not my thing. (Now writing them on the other hand would be a trip. I'm sure I could come up with all sorts of ways to describe "being romantic" and such.) -
I mean the more you know, right?

I really wanted to say Paramount Plus because of the Yellowstone prequel series and the revival of Beavis and Butt-Head, but I had to go with Netflix. (Speaking of Netflix, I need to finish that one anime that acts like the prequel to the video game Cyberpunk 2077.) -
Why didn't I ask out that blue-eyed girl I shared a few classes with in the seventh grade? I knew she liked me. Why didn't I just man up and ask her out before she moved away?

Whoa! That's amazing! Superb job.

See, I don't know if California is a hell hole or not. I've never been there. Some, like you, say it sucks whereas people like scoob say it's actually the complete opposite. I'll have to see for myself. That said, my mom lived in Twentynine Palms for about a year or two when she was a teenager in the '60s and she said she hated it. (But again, that's her experience, not mine.) -

Depends on his credit score. lol (But yeah, you're right.) -

LOL! With that being said, $7803.88 could've been used as a sizeable down payment on a car. -

I'm glad you saw that I was joking. lol (Also, check your messages. >_>) -
I just hit 'em back with this: Georgia almost lost to Ohio State and we beat Michigan. Georgia woke the hell up and we ran into a buzz saw. But we most certainly deserved to be there.

Well, hopefully, he'll retire soon and hand the reins over to his son Stephen. That said, it could also be due to coaching. I mean there have been some questionable coaching calls made over the years, regardless of the head coach. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you can't get them to buy in, you're screwed. (And I'm not saying McCarthy hasn't gotten his players to buy into his way of doing things. The fact they made the playoffs again is proof that they've bought in, at least for the moment. I'm just saying good luck winning as a head coach of any football team at any level when the players think your system sucks.) -
I wish I could tell you, but I can say this about TCU, at least: Compared to where we were supposed to finish, we had a stellar year. I just hope we can do it again next year.
