Agreed.... Rockwell had the ability to capture the greatness of America - its people - like no other. Look at what's happened to us.


Rockwell is the quentessential Americana artist. There will never be another like him.

These show how far the nation has fallen.

I just think it is funny. I don't like it 'so much", it was just the one that I thought was funny out of the gate. It is probably the most accurate portrayal of the single wine drinking cat lady if you put her in the 40s. The teacher and the looter are also great, but a little more "far fetched"

Communist star on the trunk - the license plate is California.....and the small trees/redwoods.

Reason they call it Commiefornia.

To me she is too attractive and thin to be a cat lady. Plus she is smiling.

Do you think the looter pictured would be wearing a suit? She is pretty standard Rockwell fare.

I thought it was funny. It was a personal opinion. Thats it. Nothing more.

Creepy.

But can someone explain how AI generates these? Like, the user just says, "Show me how pathetic 21st century America has become", or is it more customized - "Show me diabetic trans queen reading to school kids", or somewhere in between?

Also, I don't get the muscleman with the trophy.
duh, that's the LGBTQ trans male swimmer winning his new "female" swimming competition!

Who's to say he's looting? Maybe he won that toaster oven in a raffle.

Was a recent article in Guideposts magazine about Rockwell and his "Four Freedoms" paintings during WWII, specifically Freedom From Want,



It was an interesting article about how Rockwell used his friends and neighbors as models. The lady holding the turkey is his housekeeper, the white haired lady at lower right is his mom, the little girl at top left is the daughter of his mail carrier, etc.

Looking for details online, most of what I found was whining about how those paintings weren't "diverse" enough, too may whites and Protestants, and updated versions with multi-ethnic faces.

Dude, his models were his neighbors.

From Vermont.

In the 1940s.
And it would look no different in Vermont in 2023.

Please restrict your comments to the images in the OP.

If you want to comment on the Benjamin Knox versions, start another thread.

What about the dead pig like animal in the road???

I used to enjoy "demotivational" posters - these top that!

Just imagine the real artistic power of AI if it weren't held back by record labels and lawyers, like new albums from Nirvana, 2pac, Biggie, Michael Jackson, etc. Maybe the Germans were just hipsters eh? For the AI solution.

Some of those are absolutely perfect. The cat lady is great.
A woman from our church has either 23 or 29 cats, I forget which. Some of the guys in our men's group went over to repair a damaged pipe in a bathroom wall (I think due to one of the big freezes). They had to cut a hole in the sheetrock down near the floor to get access, did, fixed the problem, the replaced the sheetrock. Did not tape and float that evening, were going to the next day. Yep, one of her cats got in the wall, lol.

As usual, you can tell it is AI because the fingers in all of these pictures are messed up. Some missing the tips of the finger, some fingers too long, some at awkward angles. It's getting better though, since you used to be able to tell by people having 6 or three fingers.

Look at the thumb of cat lady and the pinky that are holding the wine glass. Look at the three fingers on the writing hand and the thumb.

Also, is that looter Tiger Woods?

For me at first glance it was Ben Carson.

Should have been this guy:

Read on another thread (maybe the AI pics of pregnant michelle obama?) that AI has difficulty with faces/hands/fingers for whatever reason. These images are consistent with that.

The pool trophy photo is great, so many funny AI errors. The Trophy has a part not attach floating above it, and there is lady walking in water, standing in the lane splitter in the water.

Why do you guys assume in the photos that the blacks people are stealing?
That does seem like individual bias of the viewer because there isn't any indication of that.

Not entirely true. There'd be some Bernie sanders types with pictures of Soviets/stalin's autobiography etc.

I tried multiple ways but AI just can't capture his style.

Prompts were trying to use variations of Kensington Ave and Benjamin Knox... A lot of them came out with a Thomas Kinkade style.



Bonus image

I think this was the best Aggie pic I generated but there were quite a few more that were.. interesting.
