I thought the idea was interesting and I was curious how they'd make sure the images would not contain dicks / racism / memes or even attempt to re-create the original image in any way.

A voting system? Maybe with a voter reliability score? AI?

Turns out they just didn't, and the result is exactly what you'd expect.

Amazing Idea, but a few problems 1. Anytime you give someone freedom to create (anything), you will end up with a penis drawing. Just scrolling through quickly I see that Frame #13122 delivers on this law of the universe. After watching the movie preview, I only watched the first 45-50 seconds and counted about 4-5 drawings of the bodypart and 6-8 additional frames that just contain the word "penis". I wouldn't be su…

All of these will likely be solved by manually flicking through and re-adding bad frames to the drawing queue.

Can you link to the frame? I can't see the option to view a specific frame.

It's a derivative work. Is it legal, as a transformative use? Probably not. Andy Warhol's estate just lost a fair use case in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Why not? Do you think anyone is going to say, "wow, I can save $3 by watching this crappy monochrome silent sketched copy of the movie!" ??? https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/may/18/andy-wa... Warhol copied a portrait. Totally different issue.

> The supreme court [lol @ Anti-American Grauniad]

It is nonsense to claim the Guardian is anti American because their style guide eschews capitalisation. They also refer to the “UK supreme court” and to “the king” without excess capitalisation.

When I worked in games in the late 2000s the rumour* about why Minecraft was able to come in and do what everyone knew that Lego should have been doing (a multi-player online block-building game), was that they spent so long trying to create a Lego penis detector that they missed their opportunity.

I don't even know if external links to Twitter work any longer, but Elon claims that Twitter has a "dick pic bot": (maybe joking?) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1678143935976464384?s=20

He would be pretty aware since he’s always engaged in a dick measuring contest.
