This post was deleted exactly one minute after posting. I understand why, comparing folks with learning disabilities to a cartoon dog is heavily questionable. Except maybe with Scooby Doo, he's smarter than half the human characters.

What I got when I clicked the name of the bsky account:

There were a lot where I had to pick "neutral" because I had no idea what the question was referring to.

Mine is as chaotic as I feel... I guess it kinda makes sense. I don't really feel like part of a community yet. I guess the right people haven't found me yet?

Update for the people believing my stupid ass, the reason it's like this is because the reference image also does it. He was rushing a parody.

Speaking of, he responded. I feel bad now. He apparently based the palette off of a famous reference image, which I've actually done myself before as well. The reference image also has the light source coming from the direction of the shadow, so it seems he was imitating the reference in that case

I've emailed him to ask about it. I'm sure he had a reason and whatever it was was in good faith, even if some would consider it misguided.

And here's the same artist's 2018 image in which he drew the lines for hands perfectly fine. The issues I've pointed out in the original image aren't apparent in his pre-AI portfolio.

Also, here's a different image from the same person's portfolio doing hands perfectly well in 2021.

Here's a zoom-in of what I'm talking about. The joints are distanced correctly, the palette is well-selected, even the nails are done well, which is something beginners notoriously struggle with. But where's the palm? Where does the hand end, and the shirt begin? It's inconsistent in skill.

However, bits like these are common telltale signs of genAI. The hand is a branched noodle that handles joints better than beginners but is odd otherwise. The hair doesn't stick to the cel-shading within outlines style of the rest of the image. And the lines of the nostril connect inconsistently.

In cases where the accurate option was not available (I was more "unc" than the option suggested) I selected both that option and another option I had left alone. This is the adjusted result. I turn 28 this month. Does autism make me old??

Some lf the images didn't attach. Here are the ones that escaped containment!

- Of course I do, someone has to! Not enough people do it. - ...you guys don't? - I got my parents to join Discord!!

- This isn't an age thing, it's a bad habit I've had since I was a little kid. - Again, not an age thing, did this since I was a kid. - A hobby? The thermostat being set above 70°F is a VERY serious issue that requires immediate resolution. It's not a hobby, it's a way of life.

Whoever made this poll is clearly lacking in autistic friends. Also, I'd prefer not to go out to a dinner reservation either, too expensive and too much risk. I prefer to go somewhere familiar, not fancy.

- Well, yeah, everyone who has ever worked retail has a "retail voice." - Meetings, appointments, classes, hobbist gatherings... better 10 minutes early than a minute late!

When I was in AP Bio in high school I made a spreadsheet calculating phenotype distribution in a population over time and I would brag about it for years after. I actually don't remember how it works anymore, sadly.

...doesn't everyone?? Isn't everyone constantly aching?? Doesn't everyone save extra bags to use for unsanitary waste disposal?? I've had back pain that has never gone away since I was in high school.

- Out loud? No, but I do take notes so I can be extra sure. - The Costco CEO is one of very few CEOs with a moral compass. - It's not limited to cardboard boxes. Leftover tins, glass jars (especially GOOD glass jars with nice seals!) and I even save leftover plastic cutlery, just in case.

- I don't think I've ever seen a True Crime documentary. - I've finished a bunch of shorter anime and have been grinding through One Piece recently! - I listen to music from all over the timeline. Got that immortal aura - They still make physical newspapers? I want one! - You guys tolerate concerts?

- I listen to audiobooks in the car. Spotify has too many ads. - I like some of today's music! It's just that when I name modern musicians I like, most people have never heard of them. - You guys tolerate concerts? - Podcasts are free if you find the right ones. - Try the same ONE movie on rotation.

- Was required to for a job at one point - Never had cargo shorts but GOD I crave pockets - What's a "New Balance?" - I prefer socks and flipflops. - I mean a hoodie with a front pocket is better, but some days are too warm - I used to in high school/college. I'm very time-blind, actually needed it

- I prefer sweatpants personally, more comfortable - What are "crew socks?" Sounds piratey, I like it. Yarrgh!! Turn the ship 8 clicks starboard, me crew!! Yarrrghh!!!! - Casual events? Like D&D sessions? I usually just wear sweatpants and a t-shirt.

I type with both thumbs on mobile and 8 fingers on my desktop keyboard. I only look if I start making typoes, since my proprioception is below average.

Well duh, you can't hack paper. Your world could come crumbling down if a hacker figures out the "use every time" password or gets into your browser's password storage (or your password vault software) but on paper? What are they gonna do, cast a scrying spell?

I usually use Discord rather than email. It's more convenient.

I wasn't allowed to have a cell phone in 2009. I was only 11.
