Panel 1: Stick guy eating serial pointing the text "Silly AI, making up commands like 'troff'". Panel 2: Stick guy spitting out their serial at the man page of 'troff'.

Pretty sure this one predates AI art.

It's from 1986

So it does, apologies to Gary Overacre. I don't know why, but it just triggered my AI image alarm.

Most AIs are trained on older poster art like this - they're well labelled, have consistent style, and because they're older there are likely to be a bunch of duplicates in the training set.

I wonder how large Gary's property was.

It's an old picture, it's not generated. Not sure what's the deal with the "oregano" jar tho x)

Oregano is a software to simulate electronic circuits, but i don't know if it's old enough to be referenced in this picture.

might also just be a reference to the random stuff you find on various machines depending on who set them up.

I was so surprised that this is a real piece of art. It really looks generated at first, but woah, some real actual people made this super cool piece of art!
