History doesn't repeat but it often rhymes

(AI generated, sorry I can’t draw, just wanted to make a point and thought it came out pretty well so figured maybe someone here would appreciate it)

This is AI, and it's gonna get deserved hate for that, but I do think this is better than some of the other posts that have been flooding Lemmy lately.

  • It's correctly labelled AI
  • The image is poignant and integral to the message; it's not just text with unnecessary otters or something
  • Visually it has a nice symmetry, and there's nothing obviously wrong with how it's drawn (other than it looks like AI)

The only thing it's missing is a good alt text description.

This is underappreciated. I really dislike that AI content is not labelled as such.

You got "El Salvador" on the plane but "Juden" on the trains. I think "Auschwitz" would have been more fitting.

When it rhymes with what you've already heard, you can easily guess the next ...

That's what I love about the idea of history rhyming. History is not like a rhyme because it's similar but not exactly the same. History rhymes because it helps you understand what's likely to happen next.

Is it even possible to make an AI art image in this sketchy style without it being sepia toned? Seems to be baked in for some reason.

I think that's a great sign for Saturday's protest. Much better than the kilroy kilmar drawing i was planning to use.
