we made our marketing guy draw it by hand.
😈 Manual mode, Viktors, no more AI toys for you!

Aleksandr Koltsoffnihkeys@mastodontti.fiApr 8, 2026, 8:31 AM@mikrotik Much better!
Lux :flag_genderfluid:orange_lux@eldritch.cafeApr 8, 2026, 8:39 AM@mikrotik I'm sorry, but the current alt description is useless unless you know what post it references (let's cross our fingers this one has been correctly described too).
As your post doesn't link to the original (I can understand why), would you mind updating it so it's accessible to everyone ?
Pencil drawing of a toot, copying Mastodon's interface.
Anyone else using those fancy CAT6 cables ?

@mikrotik thanks a lot 🧡
Domodomo@pizza.enby.cityApr 8, 2026, 8:46 AM@mikrotik I like this! Could you please remove the word "tone-deaf" from this sentence? You could something like, "an inability to read the room" or "unpleasant" or "poorly thought out" instead. The reason for this is to remove association of disability and doing bad things. Being deaf or tone deaf doesn't mean you like are unable to understand the sentiment of your peers or like AI.
I love your art though and am happy to share otherwise!

Totally missed the original was genAI slop, only found out an on closer inspection.
Godsdamnit.
nek0nek0@chaos.socialApr 8, 2026, 9:53 AM@mikrotik Nice drawing actually!
Rihards Olupsrichlv@mastodon.socialApr 8, 2026, 9:58 AM@mikrotik "A guy tricks company to be allowed to do drawings at work all day", a happy story in two parts.
Apr 8, 2026, 10:35 AM@mikrotik this is insanely more pleasing to look at
Apr 8, 2026, 11:00 AM@mikrotik this is so much better than the slop image :D

Jim JonesGreatBigTable@mastodon.socialApr 8, 2026, 11:33 AM@mikrotik this is actually better.
No Waynowayeast@mastodon.socialApr 8, 2026, 11:45 AM@mikrotik I may or may not make some of these.
Apr 8, 2026, 11:51 AM@mikrotik I hope Viktors feels good about this drawing cos it's cute!!
mirabilos🐈⬛mirabilos@toot.mirbsd.orgApr 8, 2026, 1:44 PM@mikrotik I was suspect of the initial post; seems I was right. But punishing the guy for using the planet-burning plagiarism machine is a great way to begin making up for it ;) good move.
Luna Lacteajackemled@furry.engineerApr 8, 2026, 6:16 PM@mikrotik Never let that guy touch a computer again!

@jackemled That's a heavy curse to cast on someone in this day and age 🥲
Simon Zerafasimonzerafa@infosec.exchangeApr 8, 2026, 7:14 PMDo you have a WiFi 6E or 7 router with 2.5Gbit ports? 6Ghz also preferred 🙂🤷♂️
