/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

It's the eyes that really look off to me. Unrelated to the fact that your post is an entirely different doll than the original meme, the irises/whites in yours seem like a "confused" AI not being able to settle on something cohesive. I'm not sure how to describe it, but its different than just a poorly-made doll
EDIT: This slightly higher quality version of the same image is able to shed more light on some of the telltale signs of being AI-generated: https://i.imgur.com/yHYDauj.jpeg
Curious. That image looks like the result of an attempted AI upscale of the base image. The hairline is mottled, eyebrows darker/sharper, lips have more definition, and the blotchy eyes.
Verification aside, it was not my intention to make use of an AI image for a meme as I did not see it as such. Whether that means my perception is dulled to where I can be fooled now or that we're still overestimating the capability of the tech, is up for debate. I'd prefer the latter.
