She was part of the ruling family in a crusader state and almost certainly killed her son after he developed leprosy.
Guy was unpopular because he was cruel and stupid. Guy was banished to Outremer in the first place because he participated in a kidnapping plot against Eleanor of Aquitaine.
If you want to give Syballa a pass for being a woman in what's definitely a man's world that's one thing but her heart was as stupid as her brain and it got her killed.
On the other hand, she was part of the series of own goals that led to Saladin destroying the crusader states so maybe it's good that it was.
That weirdly smooth skin and odd hair shape behind the neck are reminiscent of AI
Edit: Damn, I thought it was a pretty big consensus that AI was harmful to users and took away from human expression, but I seem to have found the last remaining bastion of the pro-AI movement here on Lemmy
I'm not saying I like AI images or think people should use them more often, I'm saying in this context I don't this a disclaimer is needed. If the only problem is "I don't like AI images because they're bad" just down vote or suggest to community moderators and/or instance moderators to ban AI images.
Wha. You can self host stable diffusion on your home pc. There's nothing ungodly about the power requirements. The claims are wildly exaggerated, and worse, never verified by those using them as some kind of gotcha.
As I have done in the past, and nothing has come close to its level of power consumption. Similarly, there's more to AI than just making the images. By downloading and using generative AI, you're supporting their creation, which is currently using more energy than some small countries, even the open source ones
that's fair. I just thought this one was particularly obvious. like it isn't even trying to not be ai.
I'm on the fence on this being a specific problem though. the individual tokens don't actualy take that much energy or water or whatever. the resource use is all in training. all of the infrastructure being built for ai right now is for training the next model. this looks like it was done with a model from a couple generations ago. like if you don't want to use a product that's bad for the environment then using an older model should be fine. especially if you run it locally, which is totally doable. this image looks like it used an older model.
as for plagiarism, this is a meme with no profit potential. if the internet cared about copyright in memes we would never share any image macros. the chad face that this is based on is also stolen art that the internet has been sharing for years. that's what memes are. stolen art shared without permission with no profit motive.
I'm a professional photographer/videographer who has directly felt ai hurt my career. it has also been trained off of my own images against my will. I generally hate ai, but i like to be an informed hater. all that said, there's really no moral grounds to hate this but not a version with the non ai Chad face.
There is a difference between editing, and asking a program to make an entirely new, weird looking image using half a sun in power and more data than the entirety of twitter
I pretty strongly doubt that even without power usage or quantity of training data that people would stop gatekeeping prompt-generated imagery. It's a whole personality trait to put on whatever the yiff equivalent of grinder is now.
Unfortunately, Guy de Lusignan was a bit of a twit, and the Frankish nobility were right to not want him on the throne. He got into a quarrel with the legendary Saladin (not as legendary at the time, but having just fucking united a vast empire taking up much of Turkish-occupied Anatolia and the Arab world, making him a bit of a threatening opponent for a little crusader-state to be picking fights with) and ended up losing everything in the process, including Jerusalem itself, to Saladin, kicking off the (largely unsuccessful, though very eventful) Third Crusade.
No, her son Baldwin V was king. Guy was Baldwin V's stepfather. Baldwin V died in childhood which made Sibylla the Queen, and her husband was temporarily the King-Consort or Prince-Consort or whatever the appropriate term was for a Queen's husband at the time.
But in this particular time and place, the Queen's husband typically became King at coronation and assumed the role of monarch in her place. This is what everyone expected to happen. All the vassals hated Guy and wanted her to pick someone else.
The 2005 Kingdom of Heaven movie really did Guy and Sibylla dirty. I’m fairly sure the history was especially distorted because the writer and director were atheists and clung too tightly to a “religious tolerance is ideal” message, even at the expense of accurately portraying the actions of the actual historical figures.

It's a meme. They aren't trying to fool you into thinking it's something that it's not. It's not like it's misinformation.

Yes, but it uses an ungodly amount of power to produce an image from a plagiarism machine when there are many other femchad meme formats out there
