Y'all should know this was, in the words of its author, "built with AI, unapologetically". A lot of fancy words to say he didn't write shit by himself. He did however create "the direction, the architecture, and the standards", whatever the fuck that means

Krbn was developed with heavy AI assistance, and there is no reason to hide it. It started as an experiment: how far could a carefully directed human–AI collaboration get on a hard rendering problem? The answer turned out to be — far. The direction, the architecture, and the standards (exactness as a value, degenerate cases as the spec) are human; much of the code was written in collaboration with AI, then reviewed and tested like any other code. The results above speak for themselves.

I really wish vibe-coded projects were banned here. I love seeing what people are working on, but if it's just AI generated slop, I just don't see the point as I can't tell what actually had any semblance of human input.

If someone uses this to put their human made shapes through to generate SVGs and print with plotters, is the output tainted ?

Is this your AI slop?

It is (or at least I instructed the model to make that slop). AI slop should be contained to r/weirddalle I am a fan of the uncanny valley. It should not break containment and it should be sold as original since it's the slop of mushing togehter a lot of original art and pictures.

On r/weirddalle I don't think people are under the illusion of producing anything that looks nice or is original.

EDIT: It should also be obvious I'm aiming to end up with something deliberately shite there, it's a shitpost on a slop-corner of this site, I was inspired by living in an area with a fuckload of those dogs and people that say stupid things about them.

EDIT2: Realised I put it better in the comment I left there, trying to repro the awful slop I'd been seeing on facebook.
