Getting real tired of taking up the slack for y’all

According to this short Slashdot post, the world may have reached peak booze. Total consumption is down 16% since 2016.

Several reasons cited: health consciousness, event drinking rather than a daily tipple, marijuana substitutes. Y’all slackers need to step up.

The prompt was “create a photorealistic image of several different kinds of alcoholic beverage on an attractive wood table.”

Better in color, but still glitchy. The two bottles are tiny. Why is there a seam running through the whisky? What is with the ice cubes playing Tetris in the glass on the far right. And it couldn’t decide between condensation or bubbles in the champagne flute.

One of the things I’ve learned is, take the first image that comes close and change what you need with Photoshop. If you try to get AI to fix its own mistakes, the pictures get weirder and weirder.
