I stared trying to find meaning before reading the caption. Once I read the caption, I laughed my ass off. "#1 your fired, for flirting g with staff."

DietDrPepperAndThou@reddit

The only reality TV series I would watch. 😄

[-]

NeverEverAfter21@reddit

I’m high right now so I was like seeing Jean-Luc Picard but wasn’t absolutely sure.

[-]

We might finally get to see a few workplaces outside of Engineering, Sickbay, and 10-Forward. Let's see "Ensign Ricard" visit the barbershop. There are like a thousand people on this ship, what the hell do they do all day?

[-]

mr_poopie_butt-hole@reddit

My man hasn't watched enough TNG. Picard visits Mot the barber in 5x03.

[-]

beemans78@reddit

There's a couple other times, like the time Worf gets scared by Mot's scissors. That's what I'm saying! Three times in seven years is not enough Mot.

BigConstruction4247@reddit

You want more scenes of characters getting annoyed with their chatty barber?

[-]

jcskifter@reddit

We got Undercover Boss already when Picard pretends to be the barber in Starship Mine. 🤣

[-]

mr_poopie_butt-hole@reddit

And gets attacked by Tuvok!

[-]

jcskifter@reddit

Are you sure? I thought he was attacked by the Enterprise-B officer. Odd that people keep confusing the two, they look nothing alike.

[-]

DatTomahawk@reddit

I think it was actually the principal from iCarly, but I understand the confusion given how similar they look

[-]

bluneriste@reddit

The Tuvok universe must always expand. It is illogical for it to not.

[-]

bluneriste@reddit

Yes!

[-]

Acceptingoptimist@reddit

And Troi's ultra undercover boss episode when she was all of the Romulan's boss.

[-]

bluneriste@reddit

Picard WAS Mot. The day alt-universe Tuvok was a dirty terrorist.

I'll bet Picard weighs 80 pounds under those little short shorts he wears.

And now I want my childhood turtle mobile back. To meet the D playset. ‘This is impossible, number one.’

Archon_33@reddit

This is what happens when you avoid getting stabbed by a Nausicaan

bluneriste@reddit

That’s what I discovered as a child watching this episode. That it is best to be reckless in youth because otherwise your life will be so very different. Safe. But my God, it’ll be boring. Everything I needed to learn, I discovered from Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Darmok47@reddit

That's why I spent my 20s getting into bar fights and hitting on cougars.

And now with ai you can use this image as a base prompt for it to create a custom video of exactly that. Well done creating fan fiction concept.

Any genuinely creative person would sooner blow their brains out.

[-]

andychef@reddit (OP)

Preach. I have a disability but I don't let it stop me from making art.

[-]

Drakeytown@reddit

I read about a woman or girl-- true story, I think-- who was held prisoner in a bathroom for years and wrote stories on the TP, knowing she'd have to destroy them. That's what a real artist is, imo, someone who creates art because they can't not. And then these plagiarist idiots come along and are like, "but what if I can't do it myself?" Then you're not a writer, not an artist, not creative. Get over it and move on.

[-]

andychef@reddit (OP)

I learned a long time ago: "did you create art today? Then you're an artist. Is it any good? No? You're still an artist"

Also, if every pork chop was perfect we wouldn't have hot dogs 😁

[-]

Drakeytown@reddit

I love Steven Universe!

Also this podcast, Alice Isn't Dead, talks at one point about how we say some art isn't art, but art doesn't have to be good to be art, there can be terrible art that's still art, then goes on to make the same point about freedom, that there can be terrible freedom . . .

[-]

andychef@reddit (OP)

True. Re the writing on TP, I read once that "talent does what it can, genius does what it must" Being creative as a way to stay sane in a bad situation.

[-]

Drakeytown@reddit

I think it was Heinlein who put it in a particularly twisted fashion: "Writers write because it hurts less not to." (Ie, writers write because it hurts, because the pain makes life meaningful)

[-]

RobbexRobbex@reddit

People will hate me for this, but I hope AI content can find a way to coexist with human made content. I'd be interested in watching shows I think are interesting and that I can make without having to spend millions in development. Would really democratize story telling against hollywood

Plagiarism can never coexist with creativity.

AI ain't Shakespeare and you know it.

[-]

RobbexRobbex@reddit

Doesn't really matter. It shows creativity can exist with plagiarism.

clarkrd@reddit

I watched a few youtube shorts about Charles II that I thought were from a show and it turned out to be ai. kinda freaked me out how real it looked

[-]

andychef@reddit (OP)

Asimov worried so much about how robots were going to affect society and history and everything else but he never was able to conceive that we would get halfway to Artificial Intelligence, declare that we got all the way, and then just rearrange society around a big wet shart

[-]

moviefan78@reddit

Might have made a funny spinoff 😅

thegovernment0usa@reddit

Is this the "dreary man" Picard would've been?

I'd like to watch the episode with Janeway being supervised by Kim

My favorite episode was the one where he went undercover dressed as Gen Z to see if Wesley was doing drugs:

ramenups@reddit

I miss when people just made shitty shops

[-]

Kracus@reddit

I find it weird how people are so offended at AI created images but are totally cool with photoshopped ones. (not suggesting you do this, just people in general.)

It's like all this uproar over one tool used to create fake things but ok if another tool is used. Like someone suddenly got upset that people started using sledge hammers over regular hammers.

[-]

ramenups@reddit

I just like the jank of shitty shops, was funnier to me than AI precision

[-]

Kracus@reddit

I too like the jank. It's a nostalgic thing but liking something doesn't mean I need to hate another thing.

[-]

ramenups@reddit

Never said you needed to hate anything

Eponym@reddit

The funny thing is that I'm a professional photographer and could do bad (or good) Photoshop jobs no problem. The reality is that I don't have an hour to spend doing manual labor just for a random laugh on Reddit. The 'creative aspect is the concept, not the monkey work. Also the irony is that I would have burned more electricity running Photoshop for an hour, than the tool I locally ran on my own GPU for 16 seconds. Some people need to loosen up...

[-]

Kracus@reddit

And what's funny is the sub this anti AI opinion is being discussed on. It's literally a TV show about the future. Where an AI is the answer to every question they have on the show. "Computer *insert question here*". Like it's one of the main stars of the show that's basically off screen and we never think twice about it because THAT is the future and now that it's on our doorstep in real life people are all upset about it. It's so weird.

[-]

DatTomahawk@reddit

AI destroys the environment, massively increases electricity costs, plagiarizes other people’s work without permission or credit, and is extremely lazy. It’s an objectively terrible thing

[-]

Kracus@reddit

You're just being fed propaganda.

The anti AI agenda is this all over again.

These were the posters whale oil companies were promoting when electricity was being introduced to civilization because it was a direct threat to their business. Anti AI propaganda is the same thing. It's just rhetoric meant to keep the status quo, destabilize communities and a bid to keep technological advancement back so that other countries can catch up.

[End of the episode]. Picard: Beverly, I know you’re a single mom raising a teenage son by yourself. I want to pay for your son to go to the Academy. Full scholarship. So that you don’t have to cover the costs. And to you Ricard, I know you have a passion for Jazz. I want to pay for a recording contract and deal to release 3 albums.

Juan Luis Picardo.

I was thinking about that but he’s under cover. It would be a dead giveaway.

"Ahhh, yes Lieutenant. Don't mind me my good boy, I'm just an average working Joseph! Do take note of my mustache, a natural feature I possess and not an intentional totemic object being used to conjure the idea of a working man in the way the Bard would conjure beauty from the humors themselves.

Anyhow, what do you all think of that Picard chap? He's quite fetching, no?"
