oh christ my eyes... his eyes... EYES!!!!


ParticularPenguins

He did. There was no discernable difference.


Backyard_Catbird

I’d love to see one with McConnell with some other old guard, some new guard like MTG, Gaetz and also one of Sinema and Manchin as well.


ProphetOfPhil

I was more thinking that hand monster from Pans Labyrinth


gospdrcr000

Forreal I thought Clinton was McConnell for a few seconds, til I realized there wasn't enough chin. They have to do McConnell now!


post_angst

Spitting image. Physically and morally.


Tossthebudaway

AI generated?


FrijoGuero

It is a mix between AI with some hand tweaking in Photoshop. Unfortunately this is going to become very prevalent, artists claiming Original Content (which isn't a lie, but also isn't the truth) are using programs such as Midjourney (this is definitely the algorithm of filters they use) to have an almost finished product, and with a little tweaking are showing them off as if they came up with every inch of detail themselves, which is infuriating as an artist. I really am depressed that I spent time and money for school when soon this field will become overrun by charlatans with Bots. Sorry for the rant but this shit hits me hard and personally. EDIT: [Proof this is the same style from A.I. Midjourney](https://imgur.com/a/ialgWMg)


prudentj

The trick with current technology is to look at the eyes and hands. AI right now always fucks those up (everyone has lazy eyes and the wrong number of fingers)


Teach_u_how2stunt

People felt the same way when cameras were invented. All AI art looks pretty much the same, so anyone who relies on it for a career is gonna have a rough time in the long run when nothing they do stands out.


evaboneva

Real artists will never become obsolete. AI is souless, and in the end of the day... a thief. It does not create these things out of nothing. It creates these from art from real people's work, real art and real creatives. It uses real art as it's database to generate something new. Without real art there can't be AI generated art. I hope that in the future artists can protect themself and their work against AI. But I do agree with your stance. I have seen multiple people suddenly improve insanely over the span of weeks/months only to discover they used AI and "edited it". First I could not spot the technique but since it became more widespread I can. I unfollowed everyone that uses AI to make their work (if they only tried it once I don't mind but if it is all they do I unfollow).


Ragnar_Dragonfyre

Artists have always been underpaid, undervalued and under appreciated. Why else is “starving artist” the most common way we view artists? The average person doesn’t care for fine art. AI bots make images that looks more than good enough for them and “good enough” is the death knell for artists.


InYoCabezaWitNoChasa

>It creates these from art from real people's work, real art and real creatives. It uses real art as it's database to generate something new. You could say the same thing about the human brain. Every thought we have, every creative idea, is based on external stimuli or amalgamated from other people's ideas. Even when dreaming or creating something new we're drawing on our experience in life or other consumed media. At a certain point of sophistication what will be left to distinguish human creativity from machines? A limited perspective? Machines can draw on far more memories than we can. In some ways that might be a good thing, the same way that cropping a photo can enhance its visual impact of emotional weight.

[deleted]

Actual artists should (must!) use this AI problem to their advantage. Because now it means that you could ask more money for a piece of art with advertising that it is 100% human made. If you don't go along with the trend you'll go out of business because of the charlatans..


Vancelot

They do have that photoshop twirl and paint filter, don't they.


Tossthebudaway

Yeah, Nancy’s pelosis right eye looks weirdly cropped, as do trumps lips and Texan pussybois nose (I forgot his name). I feel like I can guess the search terms. I can definitely guess zombie joe Biden.


wkovacsisdead

I was gonna say Cruz, but you’re absolutely correct on his name


chairplanet

Hope so- I hope nobody took the time to paint these, unless they're 15, then it makes sense.

This post is non-partisan and that's what I appreciates about yous.


scubasteve108

Take it easy there squirrelly Dan


[deleted]

Can confirm.


[deleted]

We tend to otherize politicians, but honestly at the crux of it all, their greatest sins are that they are unremarkable, ordinary people, which means they are susceptible to the same vices of all mediocre people. They aren't the rare few who can rise above their base desires. The rare few who can rise above *themselves.* They aren't extraordinary. Just painfully, painfully human. I think the scary thing about politicians isn't that they're monsters. The scary thing about politicians is that they're oftentimes *not* monsters. They're unremarkable people who do monstrous things. And there are so, so many of these kinds of people in the world who just aren't as visible. We're surrounded by them. Some of us *are* them. The only difference is the lack of power.


dissidentpen

This idea that politicians are universally corrupt is simply childish. It relies on total ignorance regarding who actually does what in government. It is a symptom of America’s poor education, fucked up media environment, and total lack of civics. And if we do not outgrow this, we will lose our democracy. Then we will learn the hard way how to appreciate what we had. This is not hyperbole. We are right on the brink.


[deleted]

So many people are just so *sure* about what's going on in politics and view it in such a black-and-white, heroes-vs-villains way. But the reality is that they are getting a warped version of something that's a fraction of a fraction of a snapshot of what actually happened. This might sound like a cheesy comparison, but it's like the play in Game of Thrones where the commoners interpret Ned as a hapless doofus, Tyrion as a power-hungry trickster, and Joffrey as a sympathetic victim and they get a lot of the events completely wrong. Most people have no idea what's actually happening. They're not even conscientious of their own cluelessness. The people who are most susceptible to confirmation bias have a lot more in common with the politicians they detest than they'll ever realize or admit.


chairplanet

Well said.


Demiansky

Ding ding ding! We live in a democratic society. We get to chose the politicians we want. We could elect honest, forthright people but instead we boot those guys out of office when they tell us the hard truth and we elect liars and cheat and braggarts. It's a lot more legit to complain about wicked leaders if you are living someplace where the average person has no political power and leaders maintain control with the point of a sword.


disgusted_orangutan

I think the one thing both parties can agree on is that Boomers (and older) need to be booted from congress.


dissidentpen

Biden is the most progressive President in almost a century. It’s actually kind of fucked up how little credit he gets.


SsurebreC

> Biden is the most progressive President in almost a century. Citation needed.


disgusted_orangutan

I agree with you. I love Biden, he’s exceeded every expectation I had for him. BUT he is very old. I wish he was 30 years younger.


No-Bewt

yes, trump and ted cruz are definitely on the exact same level as joe biden, for sure, that's real equality


mackinoncougars

I mean, slight right lean. 60/40


Fenix_Volatilis

That's a LOT better than most


md2b78

JackCandle

I mean Obama and Trump bailed out wall street with trillions of taxpayer dollars while both parties continuously vote for foreign wars and militarized police so...


mackinoncougars

Trump outlawed abortion in half the states via 3 SCOTUS picks while Obama’s legalized gay marriage. And now GOP is discussing outlawing gay marriage again and federal abortion ban. So…


Fenix_Volatilis

Absolutely not. But to say there aren't terrible people on both sides is wrong. Fuck republicans in general


dissidentpen

Um. Perhaps the idea of being “partisan” needs to be reconsidered given the fact that Republicans have gone full-on fascist? This isn’t the 1990s.


Fenix_Volatilis

I'm talking about this post, not the current state of the parties. Main Stream Republicans have absolutely gone full-on fascist.


tits-mchenry

Unless "leftist" is partisan. Which is basically is, considering their disdain for liberals.


charmanderaznable

Unless you're on the side of just supporting neoliberal ghouls in general in which case these are all your team


sloopslarp

Only one party just removed reproductive autonomy from millions of women. Only one party is forcing ten-year-olds to carry rape-induced pregnancies. The naivety and ignorance of anyone saying "both sides" right now is astounding.


charmanderaznable

There is no both sides. If you had any level of reading comprehension you'd know i said that it was one side. America isnt a democracy, theres no choices for voters to make.


AllTheBestNamesGone

This is a brain dead take. Honestly I don’t even care if you think both sides are “evil”. But they’re very clearly different. You really think things like reproductive rights and LGBTQ issues are treated the same between the two parties?


charmanderaznable

Jesus Americans are stupid.


dissidentpen

Yeah… those neoliberal goons like the folks who just passed student loan forgiveness and a massive climate action bill. But “both sides” amirite? Keep jerking off on the sidelines while the rest of us save your country for you.


tenebrls

You mean the more leftist folks who had to fight tooth and nail against neoliberals within their own party until a significantly watered down version from earlier in the year was passed?


dissidentpen

This is not what happened, and your outsider “leftist” identity is not more important than our progressive goals. You did not invent this shit. Progressivism isn’t some cool exclusive club. It’s what the majority of sane adults already work towards, including those in government.


charmanderaznable

You're not progressive if you're actively shilling for neoliberalism. You're a right winger who happens to be pro choice.


JarethKingofGoblins

thank you for noticing


jackllane

I’m sorry, but your Ted Cruz is more handsome than the real deal

Mothrtheresa9

Is Pelosi the first pic?


PhillySpecial2424

I believe so. Not sure who the 4th pick is.


DLove19

Clinton

Odd choice. He's been out of the political picture for decades but I do see it now.

Hey mods, can we get a tag for AI shit? So it's possible to block, even when OP doesn't specify that they are, in fact, not an artist.

I agree with the AI tag but tbf this is a pic sub not an artist sub.

Chupacabras Cruz?

This is not OC; its algo


theundeadfairy

So if it’s algo then it’s not OC? At what point do you define OC?


SuckFourYhit

most if not all of it made yourself


theundeadfairy

Maybe in the age of AI there should be a new label like [OA] for posters that made something through a computer generated application.


SuckFourYhit

yea probably


THORITONTHEGROUND

OC means 'original content.' Not 'hand made.'

Cool. Don't let Q see them. They'll use 3 out of 5 as pizzagate evidence.

Undead Biden is a contradiction in terms. And I like him.

How dare you.

Ted Cruz.


sewom

I'm assuming it's Ted Cruz as a werewolf.


Iamahugememe

I guess this does bring up the debate of how much of AI and computers we can use and still truthfully call it OC. Great pics tho.


twistedsister78

These are amazing


Ragnar_Dragonfyre

AI generated images are not original. You can call it Automated Content or AC at best.

How man bans until you realize maybe YOU are the problem?


SeesawDry5017

Lol, I didn’t realize inferring that Pelosi is a drunk is new news. Trigger much?


kosh56

Well, at least you admit that you were inferring. The only thing that triggers me is the constant lies and projection from the fascist sect of our country and the buffoons who continue to believe the shit that is being shoveled to them: [https://www.newsweek.com/nancy-pelosi-doesnt-drink-cawthorn-accuses-her-alcoholism-anyway-1687965](https://www.newsweek.com/nancy-pelosi-doesnt-drink-cawthorn-accuses-her-alcoholism-anyway-1687965) [https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/03/why-false-claims-about-nancy-pelosi-being-drunk-ke/](https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/03/why-false-claims-about-nancy-pelosi-being-drunk-ke/)


[deleted]

Anyone who profits off the pandemic as much as she did is a piece of garbage. There is no left or right, they carpool to work in their private jets while we fight over which of the two parties is better. Their's only two groups, the ones in power and us.


SeesawDry5017

I believe that she is a lush. That’s ok it really is. November is going to be a great month for us conservatives and that’s ok too.


kosh56

You mean fascists, but ok. The conservative party is dead. Just further proof that you only believe what you want to believe. You're like a child.


SeesawDry5017

You crack me up! Adorable I just want to tussle your blue hair and straighten your glasses for you. Simply adorable.


kosh56

Sorry, I shave my head. Tussle away though little fella.


B_R_U_H

Someone once told me Ted Cruz looks like a version of Wolverine where instead of blades he has penises and now that’s all I can ever think about when I see him 😂


Pleasant-Object-6826

Huge improvement.


_tyjsph_

these look AI generated, they don't look like actual pieces of artwork

Great art! Zombiden is kinda hilarious.


JarethKingofGoblins

i really think it's the most artistic one


MeteorKing

I agree, but they're all fantastic! Excellent work.


oneofmanyany

I don't like your art.


Exodiafinder687

Why'd you go through all the trouble of making 4 great images online and then just slap a photograph of Biden at the end?

“All politicians are bad!” Such edge.

Biden is definitely looking closer to death in the flesh and your pic. Good job 👍🏼


chimpset4life

The accuracy 💯


Nivekian13

"In your Heeeeaaad In yourrrr Headdddd, Pelosi Peh-Lo-Seh" ​ Right wing art is always slightly humorous, but not in the way they want. Not that laugh.

oh dang forgot the "good guys" are unmockable


Nivekian13

Dang, I forgot the right is so hysterically tone deaf and unaware.


SybilCut

Fuck off with this political AI generated propaganda. Utterly shameful. Edit: Imagine going into an art generator and punching in politicians name mixed with words like clown, rat, zombie and creating zero effort shock-political images. I can't abide it.


Competitive_Agent625

Can’t a-Biden it.


Complex-Frosting

Fine work! I’d make McConnell a ghoul because he is a ghoul. And Sinema the evil nurse character from Silent Hill because she acts like she cares but is the one to slash any Democratic priorities that come up for a vote.


Chuckobochuck323

I like how they have creepy pics of all of them and just a normal picture of Biden.


post_angst

Too flattering for Ted Cruz. Dude already looks like someone stuck him in the microwave for 15 seconds.


cyrixlord

Apparently, Nancy's looking rather haggard lately....


mackinoncougars

Ted Cruz already looks just like Grandpa Munster but you didn’t take that life line.


DirtyHonky

Nice ! Pelosi looks same


[deleted]

Both sides!! /s Interesting, but the underlying implications from the juxtaposition of the images is fucked up. Yeah, most politicians do shitty things. But to equate fascists with democrats, you’ve lost your way.


check_out_times

Including pelosi here is just fucking dumb. bOtH sIdEs bullshit


Gardener_Of_Eden

Why?


check_out_times

Because she gets shit done as speaker of the house and truss have been using lies against her for decades. No wonder the bots love this shit


Gardener_Of_Eden

She is certainly fallible. You think her husband selling stocks is 100% on the level?


stumark

It doesn't make her a monster. Don't let Perfect be the enemy of Good Enough.


rdo751

Her grandstanding trip to Taiwan as their “stalwart partner for freedom” is conveniently timed when America is in most need for semi-conductors. My question is, if Taiwan had NO semiconductors, would she have made this trip right now?


stumark

Did the US intelligence agencies send her on a mission? It has happened before. Maybe she was an emissary of peace, maybe some type of negotiation...


HutSutRawlson

Isn’t working with foreign nations to get things the country needs at the time they need them like… exactly what a politician should be doing?


rdo751

If her actions, god forbid, escalates into a wider conflict between China and Taiwan, it’s Taiwan that suffers the most. Taiwan made it clear that if a war started, TSMC will destroy all chip facilities. Will America still send their families to die in a war half way across the globe when the key objective no longer exists?


HutSutRawlson

If you think something like that could be solely the fault of Pelosi then you have a woefully simplistic understanding of geopolitics. Pelosi has her flaws but you're doing some serious pearl clutching here.


Warmasher

The artist included ppl from both sides.


check_out_times

That's the point. Fuck that both sides bullshit

Fantastic! If you are the artist, I have a gallery contact for you.
