Emoji Movie Reviews

There's this idea that emoji are bad for communication because they replace ambiguity and nuance with a limited set of preselected emotions, but it doesn't really survive a collision with real-world usage of the thinking face or upside-down smiley.

🤔 WHY DOES THIS EXIST?

Randall Monroe's art is INCREDIBLY BAD. Sometimes the jokes are funny, but their usually just CONFUSING. AI isn't funny enough to fix his jokes, but it can FIX HIS ART.

SOMEBODY had to do SOMETHING about it. Unfortunately, that person is ME...and Nano Banana 2, which is the DA VINCI OF AI.

If you feel as bad for Randall as I do, you would buy one of his books OUT OF PITY.
