Makes sense that they’d be confused by someone else feeling anxious and not really understanding why they’d choose to present like that.
Huh, it really does make sense now that I think about it.
I hate how we live in a world where this kind of behaviour is not just accepted, it’s often a desired trait. Lots of CEOs are psychopaths.
Is this supposed to be read right to left? The message with “Read 9:01pm” makes me think so
I can tell even “good” AI images because of the weird over manufactured look, kinda hard to describe it’s kinda like how fake leather feels wrong. But anyways this has the same weird energy as those weirdly gay Sino-Soviet propaganda posters.
Why is it always so beige?
Bias in the Trainingdata
Guy on the right has a “uni-finger” haha.
There’s that weird colour dithering AI always does. It’s not a consistent colour, it’s grainy like it uses video stativ/noise.
It literally does, every AI image starts as gaussian noise.
It’s not?
Eww. The 9pm guy has both hands connected by one common middle finger. That seems unhandy.
That’s how you AI it was know
That seems unhandy.
the fing longer doesn’t connect both hands
Like a fleshy Chinese finger trap.
Minecraft villager energy. I bet he hmmphs like one when fucking.
Maybe it’s just really long, like a foot long, and it’s just wrapped around where you can’t see
In which case the other dude is in for a wild night
This AI slop is so dumb too
- left guy is breaking past his keyboard
- right guy has his message read one minute after he told them to arrive, meaning he was left on read until the literal last second
Like even in their dream scenario, they’re unread? Lmao
Oh christ I didn’t realize the timing thing, makes this that much more funny. The confident look of the guy when he sees he finally got read a minute after the time they confidently told the other party to come.
It’s so dumb, oh my god
Possibly it was intentional - the right guy’s messege means “my place, right now”
also funnily enough they added an extra I on the keyboard
Don’t forget the giant middle finger on the guy on the right
God I hate slop. But I guess if you’re a talentless man-o-sphere idiot you’d see no other choice
How is this not two gay guys setting up a sex meet? This is exactly what 99% of my Grindr texts read like.
Why are AI slop always piss colored?
The training data contains lots of newspaper comics. Newsprint paper is high in acid and as a result yellows over time. Notice the piss comics are usually animated in an anacronistic style, using styles more similar to Older comics despite often being focused on modern life.
They trained it exclusively on late 2000s-2010s video games
Which, as we all remember, were all piss themed, which was the style at the time.
Hey now New Vegas had the Mexico filter. So not all of them are piss colored.
for some reason no one will ever know
Piss posting has been determined as the funniest way of posting by all AIs, but they don’t quite understand the essence of the piss post.
why would she be reading the text one minute after it told her to be there? Doesn’t that speak even worse for the alpha male?
The guy might have sent it at 9 - meaning my place, right now - I thought that was is way of asserting dominance
Lmfao just noticed that, fucking brutal
Don’t drink the alpha broth.
I had to re-read it several times to figure out how it wasn’t supposed to be a gay hookup.
I still don’t get how it isn’t a gay hookup. How are you supposed to read it?
I guess we’re supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking “He is in distress,” we’re supposed to think, “He is unfuckable.” And we’re supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, “He is going to fuck that other guy,” we’re supposed to think, “He is so fuckable.”
I think it’s gay either way you look at it.
It’s going for “No woman will respect beta left guy’s wussy way of asking to hook up while women love gigachad right guy’s demand for it.”
Ohh. They’re not even texting each other. They’re texting two other dudes. That makes a lot more sense.
They’re not texting each other, they’re texting their girlfriends
Or boyfriends, the story does not tell…
could be their boyfriends or something we don’t even know about
They’re the same person, just different approaches to sending a text.
It’s confusing af by the way they are facing each other. That is usually meant to communicate “they’re talking with one another”. The Internet is weird.
It’s not the internet in this case, it’s AI. It’s shit at comic composition. Even something as simple as where a person is looking can very quickly give it away that it’s AI generated.
That’s true. This is one of the AI effects I hadn’t considered. OP made and then posted this image thinking it communicates what they wrote for a prompt. But basically everyone itt is confused about what it means. If someone made this comic from scratch they likely wouldn’t have had the characters face each other because it’s definitely part of why it’s confusing. I guess I’m just getting at there’s something like confirmation bias at play. OP was expecting the result to mean one thing, so they saw it. People without that bias mostly didn’t see it.
Lol the attempt to show a fast read actually made it look like the text wasn’t read until after the meeting time had passed.
Fellas, is it gay to apologize?
Sorry, but I’m straight.
ARE YOU FUCKING SORRY?!
Are you coming on to me?
My ex, well if you can even call it that, dumped me because I apparently apologize too much and “apologies are useless and just show that you lack confidence”.
So, according to her, yes.
I don’t mean this is in a bad way, but they are sort of right on the last part. Apologies aren’t useless though. They are very needed to maintain healthy relationships between people, be they romantic or business or otherwise.
But I do also get very tired very quickly, if someone is over-apologizing or just constantly doing it. Either there’s a reason for the apology and they constantly fuck up or do something wrong, at least in their own opinion enough to warrant the apology. or they keep saying it where they need not do so which is just frustrating and I have also associated it with lack of confidence.
Either way, I can understand your ex, and have felt the exact way they did, and I wanted to just stop by and say that it is not necessarily intended as an insult or as a criticism or whatever, just that they really could not deal with it. I had no hard feelings or anything bad to say about the people I’ve met like this, always apologizing, it’s simply a very human incompatibility.
There are people who don’t perceive the apologies as tiring or annoying or as lack of confidence or whatever. Those people will love you for it. But the people who don’t, aren’t necessarily intending to signal or say it’s bad, it might just be that it’s incompatible with them. That’s how I’ve explained it or how I feel it anyway, but I found myself relating to your ex so thought I’d throw in an anecdote from the other side.
“Abuse me harder. Nothing like force to prove your point!”
Dodged a bullet there
I will say that apologies without the intent to change behavior suck. They’re there to politely admit that you recognize you made a mistake, and that you’re going to try to not repeat it. If you don’t have the last part then it’s useless. However, with the last part, they’re one of the things that take the most strength for a person to do.
Eh, they can also exist to politely acknowledge that the other person’s feelings were hurt, but not to admit wrongdoing (“I’m sorry you feel X”). That’s something, but generally not what the other person is looking for.
“I’m sorry you feel that way” is pretty much just a lie though, isn’t it?
It’s not an apology then is it ?
I’m sorry you feel that way
No, but it sounds like one.
I’m in a relationship with a person who apologizes dozens of times a day for stuff that absolutely doesn’t require an apology.
Basically all that it’s done is make their apologies meaningless.
And at a certain point it comes off as attention seeking behavior, because it feels like it’s about garnering sympathy instead of actually caring about my feelings.
That is often caused by abuse earlier in their life that forms a habit which is hard to break. Frequently being blamed for things they may or may not have done and being forced to apologize becomes a habit, or trying to deflect because they are worried that the other person might be upset when things don’t go perfectly can be hard to stop doing.
It does come across as attention seeking.

They sounds awful.
If this was the reason they broke it off, then they did you a favour. A worthwhile relationship wouldn’t end over something so small. Better to move onto more mature partners
Apologizing about stuff you don’t need to can be a pretty tiring and unassertive trait. Like in the pic apologizing for asking about a date. Then again, the chad way on the right seems like it would just get a “who dis” reply
That’s very gay.
Yeah, the second I see anyone trying to make a point by using AIGen images, there point is already invalid in my mind.
They don’t even have the gall to use random non-AI stock images or even better, use shitty hand drawn images.
Either way, I can’t give this an upvote, morally, but it is kinda funny, though.
imo when someone is so lazy that they can’t be arsed to put effort into using genAI properly to produce an image that isn’t the most generic slop imaginable, they’re probably also too lazy to have developed the empathy required to come to actually valid conclusions
Sounds about right.
And what the fuck is up with that floating keyboard passing through his hands? What an absurd thing.
How would you know it’s a chat bubble without the keyboard on the bottom? Checkmate human scum /s
Maybe he’s not getting dates because his hands are cuffed to a keyboard? 🤔
As opposed to Mr. Assertive on the right, whose invitations aren’t even read until it’s too late.
Bonus points for parroting ‘Sam Altman Ghibli Style’
Because worshipping billionaire influencers is the most Alpha Male thing ever, yeah.
Only alpha chads have comically long middle fingers!
oh no it’s worse, his hands are joined at the middle finger
Hey, that’s useful for the hookup.
fair
Maybe I’m getting older but I feel like texting someone so late they didn’t read it until after the proposed meeting time might not be a good strategy either.
It’s a power move, bro. They’ll realize they’re already late which creates a sense of urgency. Like and subscribe for more alpha tips on manipulating others.
Liked and subbed!! Do you have any overpriced courses or supplements I can buy?
If you send me $45.50 a month, I’ll send you a pair of my musky socks to huff and absorb my masculinity once a week. For another $10, I’ll also send you a supplement pack that’ll help you feel like a real man again. (It’s caffeine, ibuprofen, Mucinex and an secret ingredient that’s legally different from tums).
Bro do you know what DMT is?
You ever see a chimpanzee before bro? You ever do DMT with a chimpanzee bro?
