This is pretty incredibly - Fabrice Bellard builds stuff that just has such a wide spread impact - so cool that QuickJS enabled an old system like PS2 to have a bit of a homebrew revival through this AthenaEnv project

My photoshop skills are near zero, otherwise I'd have long gone and edited xkcd 2347 [1] to say next to the pillar "Something Fabrice Bellard probably implemented while half asleep just to prove he could do it".

There's a lot of FOSS projects that have something written by him in their dependency chain.

Why use an LLM to do something that would take exactly the same amount of time and a lot less energy to just do in something like MS paint?

Can you prove that it'll take same amount of time for someone with

to replicate the same level of quality as the generated image? From the looks of it, LLM managed to generate pixel perfect (or at least similar) font and probably took a fraction of a minute for the author to generate.

1] delete the text

2] select any handwriting font

3] replace the text

no one will know the font was changed, no skills required.

AI is going to utterly cripple people intellectually and motivationally.

If you can't even do the above ten second process, you may want to make more of an effort before you find yourself utterly fucked and starving.

You're underestimating the effect typography has.

>you may want to make more of an effort

You seriously saying someone should put effort in editing a comic they didn't even cared on editing until they saw someone's comment? And somehow you equate the not putting effort to editing such comic to being fucked and starving?

AI hate sometimes makes people really lose their mind. Doing pointless random shit like this is a legit AI good application. Something that needs no creativity nor intellect to do. Just time. (And, most certainly, more than 10s.)
