@sun unrelated but idk wtf are ai gemerators doing now. They don't seem to be purely scalaed data as diffusion alwaya makes text messy.
But in this caae it doesnt even seem to be text rendering otjer models use because the typography is genuinely quite bad

@meeper I can't quite tell the difference between bad human typography and bad ai typography
@sun I mean typography should just be the font engine
Whats uncanny is the text has zero kerning (if it was what it is called) - They have equal spacing between glyphs, so maybe its jist genrating a chatacter + coordinate kinda like a pdf, clearly these dovs are made woth symbolic stuff

@meeper Claude seems to do better if you ask it to make an SVG than ask it to make an image with text
@sun Claude is probably optimizing for the svg pelocan benchmark thay simon willsom or whoever does lol.
I would not be surprise if they train models specifically to problems that would surprise target devs even more aside from benchmarks since that would be good marketing
Considering how some.devs frivolois things witj claude playing pokemon

@meeper IU can't even imagine how much drudge work it would have taken me to make this by hand, after I learned how to use fuckshit Inkscape first
@sun
did anyone ise inkscape for typographical design, it really sucked. I feel this type of stuff was always done best in html since its made for laying text.
I only used inkscape a long time back to.make logos and matje.atically precise anime girls

@meeper css actually sucks dick for text layout, it was designed by engineers not graphic designers I guess
@meeper it's better than it was 20 years ago but it's still not as good as a 1991 adobe product
@icedquinn @meeper scribus crashed too much and choked on big documents :-(
@icedquinn @meeper inkscapes not the "right tool" but at least it's trivial to align stuff because it's not being rammed into a programmer's requirement that the document be semantic markup with a presentation layer
@sun @meeper the biggest herp with traditional text layout is the letters used to be little blocks of metal so spacing is always multiples of the same height of the original types. typesetting software supports this, a lot of other stuff flubs it. like libreoffice you have to 1) know this rule and 2) manually adjust the spacing of all your text styles to respect the baselines.
sort of the same with html/css in a way. some of the css toolkits have debug modes to render a baseline for reference. but that's how you make your text good.
