That doesn't pass the sniff test, many other pages on knowyourmeme correctly attribute memes to 4chan. If you were right that would be easily verifiable. Do you have an example of a post dated before 2018? Maybe you're getting tricked by the fact that 2018 was 8 years ago?

I think you are taking their point literally, its not that knowyourmeme is not crediting 4chan, its that the racism/edge is polished off presenting a more mainstream version of many memes.

This is you explaining that you have never plunged into the depths of Know Your Meme.

Apart from some lucky places, most of the world cities looks like this or worse.

That is something I've found over the years with traveling. You watch a bunch of travel videos and think the place you're visiting is going to be so different but its just the same overcast sky and ocean and washed out color palette as home. Once you remove all the filters, color correction, and drone shots from influencer travel videos a lot of places look the same IRL.

Really? I drove from Kansas to the Florida Keys in November, stayed at an ocean front hotel where it was a blissful 83°F, and it felt like our own slice of heaven. We stayed a few extra days over Thanksgiving just to laze in the pool while our kids splashed in the water. Being able to drive away from the snow and the cold into paradise was amazing, and being able to go with my family made me feel richer than a king.

This filter seems to also change some architectural details and features, as well as degrade the quality of some materials in an unrealistic way.

It's GenAI. It does something that's kind of like what you asked it to do, but it will skip some details or add other ones or whatever. Dreary architectural pictures will be more likely to have electrical boxes, poor materials, etc, so when it moves the buildings from the latent space for cheery bright architectural renderings to dreary wet November architectural renderings, it will be more likely to add some of thos…

Yeah - same things I noticed with people enthusiastically using genAI for old photo coloring. Initially it looks awesome, until you realize it can even alter the human face in such a way, that it no longer looks like that person.

My father was really happy with some old photos colored, until I pointed out he does not look like him. Strangely enough he wasnt bothered...

I wonder if there's a way to design the materials of the buildings to defend against the depressing November lighting. With this reflective material however, summers would be unbearably bright. To solve that perhaps there's a way to make the absorption increase with temperature. Darker, less reflective color in summer, and bright reflective color in winter.

> Is there a better way? Yes, UBI. Then you can create what you want and your livelihood doesn't depend on it going viral.

Nah, that just turns people into slaves of whoever is signing the checks.

Unlike now?

That actually makes it much more useful as a render, it feels like a real building. It would probably sell better, because you’re just showing them how their building will look, instead of how it might look.

To some extent they probably want to express that this is a render, rather than tricking people in to thinking it’s a real photo.
