Must be in the holodeck.

I know, but seeing the number of downvotes, it seems that many people still prefer to deny the problems.

I'm not sure right now: Is my above comment downvoted because I wrote "vegetarian" and not "vegan"? Or are there really so many advocates of meat consumption here?

Another reason to become vegetarian.

Something similar existed in 2013 already:

Ah, that's me in 30 years.

Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV, Cross, Bible.

I say in every art form you'll find more copies than originals. Literature, cinema, paintings, photography, music... Everybody who's creative is copying and reusing and recombining and sampling and synthesizing ideas.

And that's true also for computer generated art.

The difference is that it's hardly possible to claim ownership for a picture or a video that was automatically generated by algorithms.

Great insightful comment, thanks!

He's obviously desperately trying to revive the image of being a genius again. But everybody knows what kind of charlatan he is.

Yes, also the arms are somewhat overlong. That's a wingsuit specialist for sure 😊 Must know the area very well to land somewhere, too.

Prompt: aerial view of a dystopian city with streets, highways, parking lots filled with cars and traffic jams, with a woman flying in an orange-grey wingsuit in the foreground

Brave is evil.

This would have been another good one for last week's forest challenge.

Although the box has a visible flaw in the dimensions of the lid, this picture was convincing because of its idea and the grandiose moment it depicts. The magic of the forest is well captured. You’re the winner, congratulations! 🥇

That was close! This picture might have won if the mushroom had been depicted botanically correctly (the Entoloma hochstetteri has a slightly different cap, as far as I can tell from pictures on the www). All in all, however, a very nice picture and a fascinating image of the micro-world of New Zealand. Well done, you won second place in this challenge. 🥈

A very beautiful alien flower indeed. Could easily be incorporated into the next installment of James Cameron's Avatar. You won third place, together with Thelsim's Forest Sprite. 🥉

This is the epitome of a mysterious forest creature, the whole scene has a very powerful and magical energy. If there was a bonus for the most technically complex rendered image, this image would have won it. The perspective, the water, the details, just wow. You won third place, together with the alien plant by Trollivier. 🥉

Creating a scene from a silicon-based forest world is really an outstanding idea, so there's the originality bonus.
