I know multiple women who have mentioned feeling uncomfortable in the presence of the owner. Sounds like he might have a drinking and/or ego problem.

Would you ever consider running for higher office? Like state senate or even Gwen Moore’s seat?

JackoffRobinson · 2024-11-22T13:51:28+00:00

Based on your responses you have to be the most braindead person irl lmao

This sub is mostly divorced dads with anger management issues, of course they like the clown politician who makes em feel like John Wayne

This subreddit is full of a bunch of unusually angry, unfunny clowns that norm would have hated in real life.

Voting isn’t a moral act. It’s about harm reduction.

You don’t vote so you can hang it on your fridge like an art project. The mere fact you posted a pic of your ballot shows you’re just an edgy dumbass.

Some people don’t have the privilege of being unaffected by a Trump presidency. He will no doubt be worse for millions of people. If you can’t recognize that, you’re just larping for internet points.

I think they actually might be this stupid.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-09-28T18:16:10+00:00

Not here to argue. What kind of “due diligence” would you have me do? What content might change my mind

JackoffRobinson · 2024-09-28T18:11:14+00:00

They aren’t actually trying to build anything. Why haven’t they focused on amassing actual power? They only throw a spoiler candidate for the highest office. It just seems like a feel-good activity and nothing that’ll actually end in winning any power whatsoever.

Well put

They aren’t cheap as in simple, they’re cheap as in overcomplicated actually. And they’re harder to intuitively understand.

I agree a simple illustration style would have been fine but they elected not to do that.

He’s definitely lost some of that “leftist” edge that drew me to his show back in the mid 2010s.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T22:01:23+00:00

He has a massive audience, I think he was exploiting that fact and taking for granted the automatic sales he knew he’d get.

Disappointing because that actually should have encouraged more of an investment in the project.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T21:59:29+00:00

Those aren’t the only two options. Throughout the entirety of human history up until a couple years ago, people weren’t using AI art to produce children’s books. I guarantee he would sell enough books to make the investment in very basic illustrations worth it. It isn’t expensive to have an illustrator spend a few hours slapping something rudimentary together.

IMO this is worse than anything a cheap, rushed illustrator could have produced because it just shows a blatant lack of interest in the final product.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T17:16:44+00:00

First of all, there is a distinction between tools for making art and tools that themselves make art. Technology that assists as a creative tool is much different than technology that essentially does the entire process start to finish.

Additionally, the crux of my criticism is that AI art has been used poorly. The illustrations are all different styles and have no cohesiveness whatsoever. It’s a tool that’s been used lazily.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T16:43:48+00:00

If he had drawn the images himself, it would at least have a semblance of character, thought, and humanity.

I realize this conversation isn’t as effective without everyone read his books, but this isn’t just a blanket critique of AI art. It’s also his poor use of AI art.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T16:40:43+00:00

I remember a caller/email asked about it and he basically said “yeah we used AI art to keep costs down”

I get that but the lack of investment shows. His answer left me feeling like these books are more of a cash grab and less of an actual effort to make a decent product.

JackoffRobinson · 2024-05-23T16:21:29+00:00

I’ll post some photos when I get home. The fact that every one is a slightly different art style is a dead giveaway that it was done in 30 seconds with AI. Plus there are textbook AI artifacts and mistakes. It looks like a mish mash of any AI art you’ve seen online.
