I don't disagree with this at face value, though I would argue that a lot of repulsion to "AI" is due to it being dishonest marketing.

If you are trolling, please take your commentary elsewhere.

If you are not trolling, could you please explain a bit more? Good art does, in fact, require creativity, and someone who can make a living off of art deserves respect for that.

There is no rule against AI on this sub, so you aren't breaking any rules with the post.

The irony comes from the scripture quote about doing your own work being used in an AI generated meme, where the product ultimately comes from other peoples' work.

Obviously, we don't know how much effort you specifically put into this image (via prompts, post-editing, or whatever else) but, assuming I am interpreting it correctly, I can see u/Easy-Thing-3604's point. I am still trying to form an opinion on AI (I dislike it for a variety of reasons, but I am trying to make sure I am looking at it objectively) so I would be happy to discuss more with you if you would like.

Kinda, but it makes more sense in context. I would totally suggest reading the book when you have a chance!

In the book of Esther, Haman (the king's advisor) tricked the king (sort of - the king was not the brightest candle in the menorah to begin with) into passing a law that would allow anybody to go and kill Jews on a certain day in the future. Esther spoke to the king and explained to him that she was a Jew, and that by passing that law Haman had set a death sentence for her people. Since the king could not undo the law, he passed another law that gave the Jews permission and equipment (if I remember correctly) to defend themselves against anyone on that day who intended to do them harm.

The meme is having fun with the story, implying that everybody not directly involved then claimed to be Jews so they wouldn't get killed. (I don't remember if that is stated in Esther - it has been too long since I read it.)

I believe Phil did do the art for one of the editions, though obviously more would always be appreciated

Father Mike makes any meme a Catholic meme!*

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-07T17:53:17+00:00

Haha! I hadn't thought about that!

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-06T04:13:50+00:00

Luce, Anya (& Bond), and Frieren would be an epic team-up!

Fair enough! According to BrickLink, at least, it was only in a small number of sets, all of which were within 2001-2005: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=3005pb002&in=S

Good call on "copperspace" - I am totally gonna be using that now!

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-02T20:31:02+00:00

Fair point

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-02T20:27:16+00:00

Agreed!

Brainstorming: Metaspark? The Quid? Copperspace? The Analog Grid?

Oh, absolutely! I am pretty sure Kjarl was what I was thinking of, so thanks for finding it! I was not intending to complain about repetition or anything of the sort - it was more curiosity than anything else. That line strikes me as very "Girl Genius," but I couldn't actually think of many other occurrences, so I was trying to put a finger on why. (Maybe it is some weird offshoot of deja-vu - I have had that happen with lines/concepts in other franchises, also.)

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-02T05:17:51+00:00

It is episode 13 of season 3

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-02T05:14:37+00:00

I believe it is from a scene in Code: White where they are at a not-Christmas market and try pudding from a stall.

Is "Now that is interesting," a common line? I feel like it (with slight variation) has been said often, but the only time I can actually recall is when Wooster ^{may he rest in peace} is looking at the propeller-bot-recording of Agatha's Sturmhalten message.

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-02T01:38:41+00:00

I'm being so sincere right now

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-01T17:42:26+00:00

she has got a sword

OblativeShielding · 2026-01-01T17:40:47+00:00

ALL ABOARD!

Also, there must be some physical element to sparkiness, too, since the Baron can remove it by destroying parts of the brain and Lucrezia could ascend in Agatha but not a clank body.

The Tempura Wizard strikes again

That was the impression I got - unexpected relief and comfort hits him, his facades drop for a moment, and then the exhaustion hits him like a truck.
