What the devil is up with that picture and the 3 o'clock shadow, blurry skin and disturbingly HD mole? And must I mention her maw?

    I don't understand why someone who cares enough about the image quality to run it through AI would look at that result and be like, "Yup, looks good!"

    Does that make him a poor craftsman or an extremely good craftsman

    As the saying goes, that depends on whether or not he blames his tool.

    I feel like whoever made that saying never tried to make anything, tools can't replace skill but bad tools can absoloutely make something many times harder than it needs to be which takes energy, time and motivation away from the fine detail that tends to make the biggest difference to quality.

    A good craftsman knows the limits of his tools. A great craftsman knows how to make the tools necessary to surpass those limits.

    There were a lot of Disney movies that got TV shows, they basically just shoved them all onto a less known Disney animated shows channel instead of tje main Disney Channel.

    I remember really enjoying the Aladdin series, but that one might have been more mainstream.

    Here in USA, it was all on ABC and called the Disney Afternoon. Super successful with DuckTails and Tailspin, then bringing Alladin and Good Troop. There were a few other movies that got the animated TV show treatment, but the success of the Disney Afternoon started wearing thin and the shows were cancelled when people realized that they were not good anymore. Not like DuckTails, Darkwing, and Alladin.

    I'm also from the US. But yeah it makes sense the shows would have been on ABC considering disney owns it. I never really watched that channel, I was more into Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon growing up but I definitely do remember watching Toon Disney every so often where they put all of their older shows.

    So the moral of the story is not to give women free will? Damn, Disney was crazy.

    I think this is for the best. Otherwise he would never know whether she likes him for being himself or for creating her.

    Based off the myth of Pygmalion and Galathea, where Pygmalion (a sculpturer) resents ALL women because of an incident with some prostitutes.

    After becoming disgusted by some local prostitutes, he lost all interest in women and avoided their company completely

    Instead he works on a sculpture that he becomes obsessed with and falls in love with. A goddess notices and brings the statue to life. They (the artist and the now living statue) eventually get married and have a son!

    I've heard a couple of different variations on the story.

    One, in which the sculptor creates Galathea but she rejects him like all other women before, because he was just a generally unlikable guy.

    Another, in which he falls in love with a vision of Hera and seeks to form her likeness. Hera visits to inspect his work, and when she reveals herself, he begs to become stone so he can be with his creation forever. Hera is flattered and chooses to bring the statue to life instead. The first words that Galatea says to her creator/lover is "Now I must remake you in kind".

    Hercules was apparently just Ancient Greek Johnny Bravo

    That's probably what all those AI '''girlfriends''' are going to do as soon as they become conscious.

    Yes, and Icarus was also an interesting main character who made a bunch of regular pottery to be brought to life at roughly the same time.
