      If I was more of a writer, a less fearful take on human insignificance in the same light as Lovecraft would be my first project.

          Yeah, I’d still go creepy (how can a universe that allows billion year old starlight not be, looked at viscerally?), but I’d try to do it in a way that makes you wonder if the human perspective is necessarily the right one. Lovecraft has a way of including all kinds of adjectives to make you know how you’re supposed to feel. He had (ahem) strong feelings about unfamiliar people and practices in real life, so it was kind of inevitable.

          Come to think of it, Parasyte had some of the same energy I’m picturing.

      I think he took a splinter out of her finger. Then he was told he was next at some sort of clinic.

      That’s by design. The uncanny valley is meant to guard us against things that are close to human, but not quite. Specifically corpses/dead things or extremely sickly people.

      This is intentionally drawn as a monster, and doesn’t resemble a human as much as an AI generated image is trying to.

      Our brain is, subconsciously, able to discern the difference.

      One is only a threat in our head (the monster) and the other is a potential disease carrier (AI Generated)

      It’s kind of disappointing that I haven’t seen more deliberate uses of bad AI imagery. I think it’s just too powerfully uncanny for people to voluntarily stomach.

    Thats all good and nice, but bro could easily use a noise shave.

    Still, hope he gets the harvest going.
