In recent versions of iTerm2 for example, when using the plain old menubar and hovering over some items, panels appear showing awful sloppy AI images. WTF? https://files.catbox.moe/5ivkhw.png - That makes me question everything... Was the developer always tasteless? Or did they get a taste bypass?
With AI, creating the tasteless thing became easy.
If you give people the ability to select a font, they will select Comic Sans.
That AI image is pretty baffling though. Setting aside the pointlessness of displaying an image in the context menu, it even looks like it was made with ancient stable diffusion from 2024 or something, modern image generators are "better" than that. I wonder when it was put in.
Then they proceed to summon a million infernal imps.
I've never considered updating iTerm. Apparently that lazieness was the right call?
Jesus. What the hell. What does that sudden AI image even offer? I guess it would make some sense in a "docs page" context (even though there it would too be slop), but as a tooltip of a menu option?
Gotta say though.. that is so unhinged, one has to respect the human ingenuity behind it. No LLM can come up with an idea so batshit insane. They're too mid for that.
