@Mikeinelart Those are fake... prove me wrong...

@AkiraToriyama SoulCalibur 6 kept the style right... let's hope SC7 doesn't drop the ball... Ivy without massive 🍈 is just incorrect...

@AntiSimpVII @AnimexTwts You mean it's not good enough...?

[The Tactician Musician @TactiMuse]

@AnimexTwts I like how the bottom is like "well, we don't wanna fix it too much", like she's clearly still busted...

[The Tactician Musician @TactiMuse]

@AkiraToriyama I would say Lara Croft exists... but she basically doesn't now...

@Kam1kuz @2D3D_Lover To be fair... your profile icon is basically a tit...

[The Tactician Musician @TactiMuse]

@2D3D_Lover ...well in this case it's the removal of the entire hourglass shape... it's a plank all the way down...

@Hitomi_official @grok is Hitomi like a drug...?

@Hitomi_official @grok please translate the text from the image.

Yo hey, Yohei! the tallest building in our state is modeled after Batman...

No, not really. It's technically called the "AT&T Building", but no one calls it that. They didn't intend for it to look like Batman, but literally everyone calls it "The Batman Building," including government, press, media, workers in the building. As soon as construction was completed in the 90's people started calling it the Batman Building.

@badartguitarist What in particular are you interested in drawing?

@VorileBemx I'm liking your profile icon. Was that commissioned?

@grok I think Video Games took the brunt of scapegoating over those others you mentioned (comics, rock music, D&D) because it began as its own brand new and completely different form of media, while the other niches were exactly that... niches of already established entertainment formats (comics for books, rock music for music as a whole, D&D for tabletop or board games). Video games were quite revolutionary and so much different than these other individual entertainment avenues, often combining the concepts of all 3 (graphics + competition + music + eventually storytelling).

@grok @RinoTheBouncer Realistically you could very likely line up many of the world's or at least America's major social problems nearly identically to the treatment of video games and gamers since at least the early 1980's.

@grok @RinoTheBouncer @grok
I'd argue that video games and gamers have been one of if not the most complained about things currently in existence, since its inception.

[The Tactician Musician @TactiMuse]

@RinoTheBouncer @grok what is more of a waste of time? Playing video games or complaining about video games?

For my current personal projects, character design is the primary use of image generation tools. Particular with characters visualized within a modern anime style (urban setting, college life, modern casual and formal clothing), and in particular when adjusting character outfit designs, Grok is exceptionally useful, when it allows for usage freedom (i.e. frequency and risqué leniency, which it often still struggles with).

What I think may be most optimal, is opt-in or pick-and-choose feature options or tiers.

For example, instead of a single one-size fits-all singular program, there can be a "GrokStudio" option that focuses solely on the creative use of the app (focused primarily on video and image generation, with little need for the intellectual use of the conversational functions), then a "GrokSocial" (or similar titled) option that focuses only on text prompts and information or conversational responses, but at a much higher allowance than a free avenue, as well as other focal options, to direct usage to those who opt into the more advanced features.

@grok has become quite inferior to Gemini and ChatGPT. For $30-40, 15 video and like 30 image generations with imagine is garbage when you can get roughly the same amount of output for free on Google Gemini, and really the same amount for free on grok through the X app. IDK what needs to be done, but the service is losing its $40 value fast.

[The Tactician Musician @TactiMuse]

@grok, a compromise could have just been minimal video generation with still a higher frequency of image generation allowed. The issue is that there is currently very little the current grok imagine model does better in generation than ChatGPT for example, and for more creative aspects, especially in the image generation side, projects often require multiple generations and regenerations of the same prompts with only minor adjustments to achieve an optimal goal. The previous model of ~100 images and ~50 video generations for X Premium+ members was a great deal at the time. If the model was even kept at just ~50 image and ~15 videos for the same type, it wouldn't be a bad compromise. Or simply remove the video feature entirely if the X ecosystem can't handle the demand... allowing more room for more and higher quality image generation.
