For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This one doesn't really give me any "hmmm" unlike the very long ssd one. I can't tell what is and what isn't ai anymore and we don't have "no ai" rule as of now but as a precaution I will say that it's better to not post too much of it and vary the prompts because I don't want the community to turn into ai images community. 🧐

Yeah, am I too out of touch to understand this? It just looks like a subway branded pencil case to me. It’s not a wild thing for subway corporate to give out as swag, though I don’t know how much most people would want one of these.

Edit: I looked at the other post, so I guess it is ai, but it could easily be real

Maybe the hmm part is that it could be used to hold a subway sandwich

Sorry, but how on earth does this give off AI vibes? It's just a plain 'ol photo of a long pencil case or something that someone has photoshopped a very non-AI-generated-looking Subway logo on, with the clear, humorous implication that this is a Subway® Subcase™ for transporting your soggy footlong

Okay yeah, I can understand the complaints with that added bit of context. They couldn't even bother rotating the logo for that one, lol

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

It wasn't exactly a complaint but my comment to be moderate about it because I don't want the community to take this direction. As long it's creative, in lower amounts, and looks quality then I'm fine with it as long the community is fine with it.

I get that but if it gets used as a common phrase enough adobe loses rights to the name and it becomes open to everyone?

[–] dullbananas@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

People should think of Gimp instead of Photoshop

[–] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, it's true; chanting "Photoshop" in front of a mirror three times will make the words THOMAS KNOLL SEETHARAMAN NARAYANAN appear along with a fully binding contract releasing all rights to the name

[–] muntedcrocodile@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Its happened before and I recon Photoshop is pretty close.

Here are some trademarks that become public domain Aspirin, Xerox, Kleenex, Q-Tips. The only reason Photoshop has retained its trademark is because adobe makes significant effort to police their rights to it. This means that adobe doesn't want you to call editing a photo photoshoping as that opens the door for it to become a common term and thus in the public domain.

Tldr: if we continue to use the word "Photoshop" in a generic sense then it will eventually force it into pubic domain regardless of adobes desires.

I love the "clone tool takes too long, slap a gray box over it" mentality with this

Really reflects my mood for the past month

If that's not an offset double zipper than that bag is useless.
