Something funky with this image or, the more likely option, Voyager tweaking out.

I love the original concept. I am not trying to steal anything from the original artist, but I was wondering what it would look like if the last panel was reimagined in the hyper-realistic style of those Ren and Stimpy or SpongeBob freeze frame shots where it's super gross looking. I plugged in the prompt to Gemini and this is what it generated:

just because you have the power doesn't mean you should.

I'm not downvoting because it's disturbing, only because you used AI.

I appreciate that you provided your reasoning! I don't think AI fully reached the level of grotesque I had in mind, but I mainly just posted it to share a "what if" scenario mashing up this type of black humor with the gross out humor of my youth.

Just to continue the conversation, what about me using AI made you want to downvote it?

I mean you don't have to explain it to me. I just wanted to know what your stance is. I understand that there are ethical issues with using other artists work to create new forms of expression, but I didn't want to assume I knew what you were thinking. Like I said, I am just giving you a chance to explain what you mean.
