Statistically speaking, we've already had one or more.
Non-closeted is another matter. Cult of personality and whatnot.
Meanwhile mid-40s walking through world ending pollution:
This place is so much better without all the cigarette smoke!
Seriously! Bunch of slackers around here!
Vegans are free to never see meat in a restaurant... Assuming they stick to vegan restaurants.
Otherwise, let others eat in peace.
(This comment has nothing to do with vegans).
While it wasn't a genai image, this reminds me of a similar but wonderfully handled situation I ran into that is an example of what we SHOULD see:
I'd posted a meme on response to a comment that contained a laptop held by the critter in the image. The content of the screen was generic and irrelevant to my current intended reply.
Another user commented to me about the content on the screen being associated with some niche racism group I'd never heard of... But the comment was very much "you should be made aware" and not antagonizing.
I was able to edit that part out of the image and update my comment, and thanked the user. They in turn replied with appreciation for the attention to the issue.
This interaction set a gold standard for my expectation on discussions here. If the posting of a genai image somehow is controversial for some reason, I'd expect at least a chance to explain or correct if it is received inappropriately, vs just attacking what may have just been the first image chosen to convey a thought.
Anything less just reeks of attempts to just be an ass.
I fully support the sentiment, but as others have noted, calling out genai specifically is a bit limiting.
I would potentially propose something more to protect our other comms at the same time that might potentially get brigaded; IE: piracy
"Off topic comments and downvote trolling to protest the spirit of our communities for contentious topics will not be permitted."
Just my thoughts. Cover butts here if a change is made anyway since many of the core vibes of db0 are fairly contentious to begin with.
It's from the song Aenima by Tool.
The overall flavor of the song itself is similar in kind. TLDR: Can't wait for a natural disaster to come wash away the inanity via global flooding.
The "Learn to swim" comes from the verse:
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied; Learn to swim.
Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim... Learn to swim...
A friend who's a wildlife rescuer has an older girl, and aside from the occasional tantrum she's an absolute delight.
I wish they were more common as pets, but most humans suck.
Baby skunkies doing a territory stomp is about the cutest damned thing out there.
One of my absolutely favorite things is a copy of MASH someone released that had the laugh track left out.
The show is so much better for it. I wish this was more of a thing.
I heartily agree with your comment and it's points. Your phrasing and insight into the topic is a boon!
Seriously though, you nailed many of the thoughts I've had about this far better than my own attempts at turning them into language.
