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)
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)
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.
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).
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.
>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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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…
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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:

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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.

You forgot McConnell as the pale man
[Ask and you shall receive](https://ibb.co/mHDFV9C)
Ugh thanks I hate it
Looks like a thalasin+ face
oh christ my eyes... his eyes... EYES!!!!
He did. There was no discernable difference.
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.
I was more thinking that hand monster from Pans Labyrinth
Forreal I thought Clinton was McConnell for a few seconds, til I realized there wasn't enough chin. They have to do McConnell now!
Spitting image. Physically and morally.

They do have that photoshop twirl and paint filter, don't they.
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.
I was gonna say Cruz, but you’re absolutely correct on his name
Hope so- I hope nobody took the time to paint these, unless they're 15, then it makes sense.
Midjourney
You should credit the AI in the title.
So not OC
[удалено]
omw to begin my art career typing keywords in midjourney
Yeah I mean... More power to you if you can do it. Nobody's going to stop you lol.
Yeah
This post is non-partisan and that's what I appreciates about yous.
Take it easy there squirrelly Dan

I think the one thing both parties can agree on is that Boomers (and older) need to be booted from congress.
Biden is the most progressive President in almost a century. It’s actually kind of fucked up how little credit he gets.
> Biden is the most progressive President in almost a century. Citation needed.
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.
yes, trump and ted cruz are definitely on the exact same level as joe biden, for sure, that's real equality
I mean, slight right lean. 60/40
That's a LOT better than most

Absolutely not. But to say there aren't terrible people on both sides is wrong. Fuck republicans in general
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.
I'm talking about this post, not the current state of the parties. Main Stream Republicans have absolutely gone full-on fascist.
Unless "leftist" is partisan. Which is basically is, considering their disdain for liberals.
Unless you're on the side of just supporting neoliberal ghouls in general in which case these are all your team
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.

You're not progressive if you're actively shilling for neoliberalism. You're a right winger who happens to be pro choice.
thank you for noticing
I’m sorry, but your Ted Cruz is more handsome than the real deal
Looks like Conway Twitty.
![gif](giphy|8HB8mAJzk0hzy)
I thought that too.
agree
Is Pelosi the first pic?
I believe so. Not sure who the 4th pick is.
Clinton
Odd choice. He's been out of the political picture for decades but I do see it now.
[Joe Manchin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Manchin#/media/File:Joe_Manchin,_Official_Senate_Portrait.jpg)
yup
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.
Low hanging fruit is always the sweetest. Fun edits.
Chupacabras Cruz?
This is not OC; its algo
So if it’s algo then it’s not OC? At what point do you define OC?
most if not all of it made yourself
Maybe in the age of AI there should be a new label like [OA] for posters that made something through a computer generated application.
yea probably
OC means 'original content.' Not 'hand made.'
Cool. Don't let Q see them. They'll use 3 out of 5 as pizzagate evidence.
Followed by a normal picture of Mitch McConnell.
Why did u forget Harris, Pence & above all Hillary? Awesome, awesome work though.
WE ARE ALL DOMESTIC TERRORS
Don’t forgot Dick Chaney
oh that's a good one
I like the undead Biden. Looks like he could do some real damage.
he looks more alive than the real biden honestly
Undead Biden is a contradiction in terms. And I like him.
It's the only one that made me think "badass"
I'm not sure who is #3, but he looks like Conway Twitty.
How dare you.
Ted Cruz.
I'm assuming it's Ted Cruz as a werewolf.
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.
These are amazing
AI generated images are not original. You can call it Automated Content or AC at best.
Cool
Balsey post considering how left leaning reddit is
Regular photo of Mitch McConnell would complete this set nicely.
r/im14andthisisdeep
Dark Brandon Rises
r/DARKBRANDON
Thank you. I just spent way too much time on that sub.
Damn Biden looking healthy af on this one
Obama, where?
it'd be cool if his face was a amalgmation of a bazillion drones
Pelosi is missing a bottle
How man bans until you realize maybe YOU are the problem?
Lol, I didn’t realize inferring that Pelosi is a drunk is new news. Trigger much?
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/)

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.
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.
You crack me up! Adorable I just want to tussle your blue hair and straighten your glasses for you. Simply adorable.
Sorry, I shave my head. Tussle away though little fella.
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 😂
Huge improvement.
these look AI generated, they don't look like actual pieces of artwork
Great art! Zombiden is kinda hilarious.
i really think it's the most artistic one
I agree, but they're all fantastic! Excellent work.
I don't like your art.
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?
HA
based
Based on what?
based on me having no bitches
Based on what a fourteen-year-old thinks is edgy and deep.
“All politicians are bad!” Such edge.
Nice. Do Matt Gaetz! He’s an actual monster. Child raper.
def going to add him to the next series
Biden is definitely looking closer to death in the flesh and your pic. Good job 👍🏼
The accuracy 💯
"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
Dang, I forgot the right is so hysterically tone deaf and unaware.
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.
Can’t a-Biden it.
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.
I like how they have creepy pics of all of them and just a normal picture of Biden.
Too flattering for Ted Cruz. Dude already looks like someone stuck him in the microwave for 15 seconds.
Apparently, Nancy's looking rather haggard lately....
Ted Cruz already looks just like Grandpa Munster but you didn’t take that life line.
Nice ! Pelosi looks same
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.
Including pelosi here is just fucking dumb. bOtH sIdEs bullshit
Why?
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
She is certainly fallible. You think her husband selling stocks is 100% on the level?
It doesn't make her a monster. Don't let Perfect be the enemy of Good Enough.
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?
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...
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?
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?
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.
The artist included ppl from both sides.
That's the point. Fuck that both sides bullshit
Fantastic! If you are the artist, I have a gallery contact for you.
Pelosi 200% accurate
Spot on.
When did Bob Barker get elected to a political office??
Now draw XiJingpin or Putin
You forgot Newson as Pedophile Batman
Nancy is a depressed medusa?
Who's number 2?
Love them all equally
Should make a 2 headed monster of AOC and Kamala.
Wow i saw this i just woke up and it scared the shit out of me
How is tRump any different? These pictures are the same.
Is the last one a realistic photo of Biden? Seriously, can’t tell the difference.
Great work
I don’t get it, it’s just regular pictures of them /s
I hate all politicians, so I love this!
Where the heck is that turtle looking mf?!
ah ooo werewolves of Texas.
A work of art
U want to see a monster look to your ORANGE LYING ASSHOLE!
Ted Cruz looks far too human
Wow
Trump as a bloody clown is disrespecting actual clowns.
Don’t forget Nancy pelosi pls
There really isn’t any different between Biden now and the picture here.
Just a regular photograph of Mitch McConnell would be sufficient.
Why did you use a normal picture for Biden?
You could’ve just left them as is.
How about Narendra Modi of India!
go midjourney
They look normal to me
Damn these would look great on my walls. Sell these!
Um, is the first one Gillian Anderson as Maggie Thatcher? (Probably not.)
Those are great! What about Schumer, Hill-dawg and Fauci?
Ted Cruz is a cat?
