@jalefkowit These McMansions feel like they have the same flaws as AI art.
The overall form is mansion-like, and the close-up details all seem plausible, but somehow the middle-ground between form and detail is gibberish.
@apLundell @jalefkowit I typed "McMansion" and "McMansion Indoors" into Stable Diffusion, and gave it way too much canvas to work with, and I think you nailed it.
@Alex @jalefkowit That looks perfect.
It's nonsense, but I can totally believe someone might still build it to extract money from the stupid rich.
@apLundell @jalefkowit If they built this thing, I would never want to live in it, but I would feign interest just to get a tour. It wouldn't be the first time I pretended to have enough money to afford real estate just to tour a stupid looking house.
The worst I ever saw was a house with three different second stories that didn't connect to each other, and they each had a separate stairwell for access...
@Alex @jalefkowit That sounds amazing.
What a tiring house.
@apLundell @jalefkowit No worse than most of the new houses here in Seattle. Lots of 3+ storey townhomes with about 300 square feet of space per floor. Something like 20% of the floorplan is stairwell.
I was legitimately searching for housing a year ago, and gave up when the agent asked me to make an offer the same day without an inspection on a townhome that had the kitchen on the third floor.
