Why slop? Using a service contributing excessive harm to the very thing he's spent his life promoting. Not very appropriate.

I was hoping it was good old fashioned Photoshop

I hear ya, I wish it had been! It wouldn't have been difficult to do so. Check out the little icon in the bottom right corner. That's a watermark from one of those AI applications.

I'd make one myself but I'm tired and sleepy and got at least 10 other projects on my backlog

[โ€“] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Haha, I feel you there! I'm right there with you. I hope you get some good, restful sleep soon and make some good progress on your projects :)

Thank you, and likewise!

(Got some restful sleep, will make progress next)

Couldn't just cut out one picture and put it on another picture of him? This had to be made with AI??

I was so surprised when i opened lemmy this morning and didn't see a single post about him turning 100 today, thank you for taking the effort!

I didn't realize his birthday was coming up and when I started seeing his name all over the news headlines a couple days ago I had a minor heart attack because I thought he died.

How is he still alive? At least they let us keep one good one.

[โ€“] SculptusPoe@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Shh.. Don't let em know we still have one.
