Any chance this game gets canceled with the firestorm around LA right now? It looks like madness there, hoping everyone is ok out that way

The double goalie stick on the AI art is creepy. Is C4L spitting a fiery puck out? AI makes no sense. I can't believe people trust it to do anything properly yet.

Just looked at reports and its pretty crazy. Id bet there is a risk of game getting postponed.

Bad news LA...the Flames are in town!!

Okay...that is bad news concerning the other actual conflagrations and such...I'm sorry about that, those flames are genuinely problematic.

Alright. So. A hockey contest on ice (no combustion) is about to start and I wish the LA team nothing but the worst of luck.

It should be noted for California residents that the Calgary Flames have no otherwise involvement in your natural disaster scenario.

Best of luck with all of that...worst of luck in only hockey related scenarios.

Um....Go Flames Go!

Aw crap...even that could also be misconstrued. Forget it, I'm done.

Its getting a bit better but it takes at least 10 runs and multiple changes to the verbiage to get something that is remotely close to usable. There are many that are just stupid. Pees me off that I cant get the current Flames jersey to generate either. Im using Microsoft Designer free version. Cant find anything else that is better.

Oh, to be clear, I certainly don't blame you. I just find the whole thing hilarious.

Assuming the game goes as planned, this will be a beatdown. Flames looked sluggish last night and the game, and the emotion, probably takes a a toll. Factor in how good LA is, and how poor the Flames are in the 2nd half of B2Bs and I don't see how they win.

They lost a couple they probably should have got points in. It would be nice if they win a scheduled loss tonight to balance things out.

The Snake says that the Flames are only on pace for 92.25 points, a win tonight puts them on pace for 93.9. FEED THE SNAKE.

Yeah it's wild to me that the game hasn't been postponed yet already. Very eery in general seeing all the scenes from around LA where you have multiple wildfires burning and other parts of the city it just looks like business as usual. I know LA is massive but still...

Hoping they can get that contained soon with as little damage as possible.

Wouldn't all that smoke affect visibility for air traffic too? Maybe the guys will need to take a roadtrip down to San Diego with the moms and fly home from there.

It's getting better all the time.

Even the very best AIs you can usually look at the hands and they look wonky so you can tell.

But the other day on Reddit I saw a 5 second AI clip of a young woman that looked 100% real and had no telltale signs it was fake.

Unbelievable how far we've come from that fever dream video of Will Smith eating pasta.

Are you using a site or an app to generate these?

Found the link, but not sure how to embed reddit video: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/com...t=share_button

It is SFW.
