    I mean you don’t have to explain it to me. I just wanted to know what your stance is. I understand that there are ethical issues with using other artists work to create new forms of expression, but I didn’t want to assume I knew what you were thinking. Like I said, I am just giving you a chance to explain what you mean.

    I appreciate that you provided your reasoning! I don’t think AI fully reached the level of grotesque I had in mind, but I mainly just posted it to share a “what if” scenario mashing up this type of black humor with the gross out humor of my youth.

    Just to continue the conversation, what about me using AI made you want to downvote it?

    I love the original concept. I am not trying to steal anything from the original artist, but I was wondering what it would look like if the last panel was reimagined in the hyper-realistic style of those Ren and Stimpy or SpongeBob freeze frame shots where it’s super gross looking. I plugged in the prompt to Gemini and this is what it generated:

    Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?

    Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I’d say no because cameras still have lenses.

    When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone’s camera doesn’t use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.

    I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I’ve always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?



  • I know this is /c/Progammerhumor, but I wanted to pull on this thread a little bit for my own edification. I’m a Python guy and have been a while, but I’ve dabbled in other languages. The screenshot says “MonoBehaviour” which makes me assume this is mono or a .Net-like language (you know what happens when you assume).

    If your player health is a float, would mono or .Net have an issue comparing the float with integer zero “0”? I mean, it seems like floating point precision may make it impossible for it to ever “equal” integer zero, but it also seems like the code isn’t accounting for that precision error.

    Am I overthinking this?

    Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don’t save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?
