At some point in the past I put World Frog Day on my calendar because silly events like that are an easy way to make my future self laugh.

Unfortunately, it seems that the guy who runs the World Frog Day website has gone all-in on "AI art", aka #slop.

His "art" page is a bunch of frog images generated with MidJourney, and I guess he's already gotten so much hate mail about it that he wrote up a page explaining "The Environmental Benefits of AI-Generated Art" which is just painfully wrong 😬​

I like the idea of raising awareness of the importance of frogs in ecosystems, but uhhhh, fuck this guy.
