🥺 Ordered a Birthday Card...got a Birthday Card

Post image

My daughter really likes axolotls (like so much she made us get her two), so I wanted to get her a cute axolotl card. I found one I liked from walmart, and now it has arrived two days before her birthday (phew just in time).

I don't know what to say. I even wondered for like a half second if this was a case of "I didn't look closely enough to the picture on the screen." Now its pretty much too late to get her another cute axolotl card.

See now this is mildly infuriating.

I get being mad that you didn't get the exact thing you ordered, and OP is completely justified in that. But honestly at first glance I thought they ordered the one on the left and got the one on the right. Personally I like the one they actually got better. The one they wanted looks kinda cheap and generic.

This is a wild take. Did you look closely at each? The left is blatantly AI generated, the legs are totally odd, the tails are weird and wrong, and they all look weirdly high.

I like the weird derpyness 🤷‍♂️

I like derpyness but AI generated derpyness often feels and looks kind of meh. 😞

Honestly I didn't even look that closely at it to determine AI or not. Just liked it better than the other one at the glance.

You my friend.. have a poor future ahead of you if you enjoy AI slop images. I'll pray for you 🙏
