So the NightCafe contest on Friday was “Rainy Day Scenes”, and here is the winner:

It won, pretty clearly, by playing the sympathy card. Yet it still suffers from the usual generative AI problems:
1) the dog has polydactyly;
2) the guys hands merge with the dog’s ears. We can imagine he is just scratching behind the dog’s ears, but still, there are clearly problems with the wrists.
3) the text in the image is gibberish.

But I guess it makes people feel better to express sympathy for some homeless guy.

A made-up, fictional, homeless guy.

Anyway, here was my submission:

Yeah, yeah, I know…. but I wanted to see how it would score.

Now I know.

My point: being a softy for some (highly flawed) image of a homeless guy is no more really being compassionate to the homeless, than fantasizing over a sex-bomb is having a real lover.
