Debunking Humor...

I just asked for "action figure" and I guess the training data for Imagin 3 had a lot of action figures with joints... the challenge I had was getting it to look anything like me, which it only vaguely does but for an action figure I guess close enough... better than some out there...

 

[deirdre]

I guess close enough

i like yours. is that a string winder on the left?

The labelling is hilarious!

I have little clue what that is! I suspect it is an attempt at the usual plastic bandolier/utility-belt the a action figures come with!

i added wonder woman bracelets and it made me an amazon! lol. those shoes are unacceptable.

Not sure about the shoes- perhaps your chat-up lines could do with a bit of, er, refinement? Apologies for being so personal.

Y'all, these are F'ing hilarious. Bravo!! EDIT: @flarkey @deirdre @JMartJr

you mean as far as shoes, or my wonder woman build?
this one i refined too much-then wasted a bunch of free tries trying to make myself look older (and out of the kitchen). but i do like her shoes

IDK, if you're going to use the line from Sandy, "Tell me about it stud...", you need to try with her accompanying black leather outfit. It's much more action figureesque. For the record, even though I know the character name and outfit, I LOATHED that movie. It's just a generational thing, at our age it was on somewhere and we all knew it.

 

[deirdre]

you wish.

 

[NorCal Dave]

Ok, so I tried with an action figure and a vehicle, specifically the "Squatch Hunter":

Defiantly inspired by the Skywatcher guys, and it's a fantasy version of myself I could live with.

But let's be honest, most Metabunk action happens in front of a computer with books.

So, this is much more accurate:

So, this is much more accurate:

which is sexier. ie smart is the new sexy. (hence my "tell me about it, stud" catch phrase).

ps what ai did you use.. those boxes look good!

Ah, I didn't get the Sandy reference.
I had visions of Deirdre using that line IRL, e.g.
Guy from the power company: "I've come to read your meter."
Deirdre: "Tell me about it, stud."

All Metabunk ladies are wonder women, armed with a (metaphorical) lasso of truth.

I actually had a poodle skirt and those shoes - but that was before you were born. Maybe you don't want to go THAT retro!

for that scenario i would put on the black outfit

this is what chat gpt came up with. apparently the ai knows women in the 1950s should be put in the kitchen, but it doesn't know what mules are (<they are shoes).

Each prompt gives 4 variations. For the Squatch Hunter I used this prompt:

Generate an image of a plastic action figure and a vehicle in a package. The action figure is a male wearing shorts and boots with a vest and hat. He has a grey goatee and sunglasses. The vehicle is a blue and black Polaris RZR with a light bar. On the RZR are the words "Squatch Hunter". The packaging includes accessories like binoculars, a drone and a GoPro. The packaging is labeled "Metabunk Collection" at the top and labeled "NorCal Dave & The Squatch Hunter" along the bottom.

They still have a hard time with words, even when in quotes, sometimes it's right other times it's gibberish. Here are the other 3 Hunters:

And the other NorCal Dave at a desk guys look like this:

It definitely gets the packaging for a lot of them, but again the words are hit and miss. And I specified "crocs" for the shoes, but only 1 guy ended up with them. I went the other one as he has an almost creepy pseudo-realistic face.

this is what chat gpt came up with.

Oh hell yeah! And Occom's razor, genius.

So tell me, do you recommend the book "Blithering Romec" as one I should have in my library?

 

[Mendel]

So tell me, do you recommend the book "Blithering Romec" as one I should have in my library?

that's not the title

ROMEC 2025

21st Roman Military Equipment Conference
Brno, Czech Republic, 2-6 June 2025

Google asked if I meant "liethring romec", and then couldn't find information on it. Maybe I should've asked a LLM, at least it could've invented something fun?

 

[NorCal Dave]

So tell me, do you recommend the book "Blithering Romec" as one I should have in my library?

I just prompted for UFO books, but as I said it has a hard time with words. @deirdre got her's to spell things out exactly. I'm wondering if flarkey used some sort of cartoon version of himself to create the action figure.

 

[deirdre]

but as I said it has a hard time with words.

i tried my "sandy from grease in black outfit", with no photo prompts, on that ai and the words were horrible and all the dolls were brunette, dressed wrong and had all these accessories i didn't ask for and none i did. i think i typed the same thing i typed in chat gpt.

yours i just pretend was made in Romanian or something.

I'm wondering if flarkey used some sort of cartoon version of himself to create the action figure.

i thought he used his profile pic..so thats what i did (except for Sandy). I was impressed on how well it listened. it says if i use the paid version there are more "models", so i guess you are limited a bit in free versions. I think they are purposefully giving me man hands and ugly shoes so i'll sign up for the paid version

 

[NorCal Dave]

i thought he used his profile pic..so thats what i did

I know his profile picture is a cartoon version of a photo of him. In my case, I don't think a sign that says "faux mirage" is going to make for much of an action figure. Time permitting, I'll try to make a cartoon me from a photo and see if I can get a new action figure with a desk and UFO books. Or another 'roided out version with a RZR .

oh use chat gpt. maybe i should have done that!

...or maybe two harriers.

Other possibilities are available.

it is also at times just morbid curiousity... sad how they both went... but also an industry bent on making $$$ from the attention (clicks and ads)... and then we chit-chat about it here. so yet another layer. around and around it goes, like we do around the sun. in theory...
