      I cannot work out why it’s an elephant. Probably because that’s just whatever the AI came up with and for some reason they just pick the first result

        Or because the idiom “the elephant in the room” is being depicted literally (insinuating their medicated autistic child is ‘an unfortunate unwanted fact’ - which I personally feel is derogatory to the child)

      it’s the faces, the character shapes, but really that yellow hue across the image. Perhaps someone with some color theory knowledge could explain why ChatGPT generates images like that.

        I wonder if it’s a white balance thing, as in the setting you’d see on a camera or in a post processing tool.

        For instance, consider that “soft” or “warm” light bulbs (say 3000K and below) are common in cozy indoor areas. They cast a much more yellow color of light compared with a daylight bulb or actual daylight, which will look very blue in comparison.

        It’s like the model detected that the image was people in a living room and it applied a warm white balance to the whole picture because most images of a family in the living room have warm lighting globally.

        But since it is a machine and apparently has not yet been explicitly taught that comics generally have bright colors and no strange tints, then it does not adjust accordingly.

        I wonder if that is even giving it too much credit. Maybe it’s just the deterioration from all the iterations of garbage in, garbage out.

        There’s definitely a sepia tone on most of it. Weird. Why would they go with a red flag so frequently?

        I read that it’s due to model collapse - the AIs are now trained on their own AI-generated content, like all the auto generated ghibli-style images with yellow tint

        Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed from degradation on their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.

      Someday artists are going to struggle to replicate this “look” in order to make memes and jokes.

    You know it’s a good comic when they have to explain it with the I have autism pin.

    “How can we let the reader know that the elephant in the room has autism?”

    “Well, how about if we have it wear a button that says, 'I have autism”, you know, like people with autism do?"

    “Brilliant! And how do we let the reader know that the autism is from vaccinations?”

    “Easy! We just show a bunch of hypodermic syringes sticking out of it, like all of those vaccine-loving cuck doctors just stabbed it and left them there.”

    “Did they bother to depress the syringe and inject the vaccine?”

    “Nope!”

    “Brilliant!”

    May be autism is caused by scientific medecine, and we would better trust scammers instead?

        So you should get vaccinated and take some parcetamol while sick (but not too much)… and maybe, if there is an other life, who knows, you may be autistic in next life!

        If you want high wages in this life, the easiest is to be born in a rich family, and that would make you happy. Else, you may still try to become a philosopher ; it won’t make you rich, but it could be good for your mind…
