still doing better than this guy
A screenshot from the game Tales of Symphonia. Two boys, one taller with brown hair wearing red clothes, the other shorter with blue-white hair and a blue shirt, look at a wooden signpost with an ugly Wanted Poster-style drawing of the red boy. The red boy, Lloyd, asks, "Am I this ugly?"

case in point
a fucked up genAI image of the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring original motion picture soundtrack on vinyl: A brown sleeve with an image from the movie on it, of three white men (one white haired, two dark haired) and two white women (one dark haired, one blonde), in fantasy garb. The faces are all weird, as are the hands. The actual album cover for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. A brown sleeve, with a small image from the movie poster: Frodo, a white hobbit in a red shirt and green cloak, looks toward us; behind him are arranged other characters, like Aragorn (a white man with a sword), Gandalf (a white man with a beard), Arwen (a white elf woman with dark hair), and Galadriel (a white woman in ethereal white robes). There are other characters as well. There are no weird faces here because it's not AI.

Quote with a title screen that is important to you
The title screen for Kingdom Hearts. Sora, a boy with brown spiky hair, stands on the shore looking into the distance. Text reads "Disney/Squaresoft. Kingdom Hearts. Developed by Squaresoft. New Game/Load." The Kingdom Hearts logo (an outline of a heart with a crown on top) sits behind the text.

the
The "Is this a bird" meme with A Gentleman's Gentleman crudely photoshopped in. An anime person with glasses points to a butterfly. Text reads "Is this a book launch?" Smaller text identifies the anime person as TJ Alexander. Even smaller text in the corner reads "(Artist's rendition)".
