        But this would’ve been so freaking easy to do practical, just put some “graphic design is my passion”-esque text on some image of Taylor Swift, use it as you wallpaper and take an image

          Not really. Do you really think I have Taylor Swift posters up around the house?

          This was a joke in comments about Nicolas Cage Linux that I threw together in about 10 minutes while I was having coffee, and my phone was infinitely far away in another room, so it would have been a laptop screen customized to the point that you can’t tell what distro is in there, in front of a kitchen. Not quite the same as taking some AI Taylor Swift-themed setting and then adding an over the top Mint background violated by T-Swizz.

          The superficiality is kind of the point I’m trying to make. Repackage Mint as “MinTay Linux” and that’s all it would take for the Swifties to pounce on something as “challenging” as switching from Windows to Linux. There, Peter explained the joke to you, are you happy?

        Shouldnt a low effort post actually look like there was little effort put in? AI is trying to look like something high-effort

          The Mint desktop is 3 layers of screepcaps mashed together in GIMP. Do you really think an AI that can’t get a keyboard right managed to get the Mint desktop background right and add her face perfectly?

            I was not talking about if the post was made with AI or not

            I just was responding to someone talking about a potential use of AI
