Double handled briefcase. Arm over the steering wheel resting on the shifter is also a nice touch.

Imagine hanging your manhood on the fact that you drive to work

I take the bus and play video games on the way to work, and everyone thinks I'm crazy for not driving myself.

My friend has a 45 min commute and loves it because she can listen to a podcast and prepare / de-stress from the day.

The tie-seatbelt combination is so when he inevitably drives into the oncoming traffic the belt will act as a noose and guarantee results. Very trad very alph

I mean my commute would be a lot more interesting if reality just stopped obeying the laws of physics as we know them. It would probably be so incomprehensible that I would stare off into space like that.

That's not a cue ball gear shift, that's a fucking trailer hitch

Or an emergency butt plug in case his job isn’t fucking him over hard enough.

I love driving, not commuting. Commuting is terrible. Aside from it being slow and congested, the thing that makes driving suck is all the drivers who apparently bought their licences from the people handing out fake vaccination cards.
Moved here from a country with much higher learning standards, it seems.

Fuck ai "art"
darkhalfbreed
I won't judge someone if they enjoy their commute, when I worked close enough to walk to work I liked it 7/10 times. To "make" AI art to romanticize it, you are lying to yourself in hopes you can convince people your suffering is a positive in your life.

TalanRhodes
I think the creator was trying to emphasize the feeling of potential during a morning commute. That feeling of having energy at the start of the day like the beginning of a new journey or adventure. Sure, the guy is going to have to waste it on a job he likely hates, but that doesn't mean he can't enjoy the hopeful feeling of cusp of something new, however fleeting it may be. At least, that's the feeling I got from it.

Being spiked in the hand by a rogue steering wheel strut is another nice touch. Seriously: Fuck AI generated art.
NotyouGuillermo
Absolutely, but it's also kinda important to make fun of AI art so ppl get used to noticing the issues.
Idontneedrealfacts
I have a good commute, about 20 mi uses of highway driving. Enough time to drink coffee on the way, and wind down a bit to music on the route home. But I am a Nurse in a hospital, telecommuting isn't an option, I am OK with that, and want the rest of you to WFH as it helps my traffic, and your sanity
Pavloval
I hope this doesn't get downvoted for being AI, these comments are hilarious!
BarderBetterFasterStronger
The post isn't AI, it's about AI
piconuke
the comments are the whole point, you won't find my romanticizing that shit ^^

It's making fun of AI so it's fine.

I both love and hate my commute.hate getting up so early, buying my train ticket, the crowds, but I love sitting by the window, listening to music and watching the world go by
Jewdakris
I'm not gonna lie, I bet this commute was cool as shit. So many lies cars, the cars were fucking awesome, you just got some great breakfast from your 1960s wife, you were gonna do your office job that is literally nothing while failing upward for 30 years and then retiring with way more wealth than you should have been able to earn. Boomer life was probably pretty awesome.

Also to each his own but as a dad I'm happy I can take paid parental leave or work shorter hours to spend more time with my kids as opposed to sitting in the office 6 days a week 9 hours a day.
Timetoupdatemyusername
Controversial, brave, and probably pretty true.
TheFishFace
If your commute isn't awful and your job is good, I can easily see how someone might romanticise it, especially if they don't otherwise get time alone.
twisti
Early AI generated images were a treasure, like those spot the difference images, only with some Escher mixed in. "The longer you look" really applied to those, and it was so interesting to see how much weirdness one glances over normally.
CrispyNougat
Gear shifter going straight up.
kittyfajitas
The whole steering wheel/steering column is giving major Escher vibes. It's making my brain hurt. I must say that I'm saddened by the appropriate number of fingers being represented, though.
ThePrinceMohamed
Might want to double check his left hand.
RaspK
Both hands. ;)
RaspK
Nope!! Both hands actually have finger mistakes: the ring finger on the left hand (resting on the wheel) is broader and shaded in a manner that suggests it's actually two fingers merged into one, and the right hand's middle finger splits into two down the 2nd knuckle!
Timetoupdatemyusername
Had to go back and check. Yes! Escher vibes!
darckdragon
As a person who commutes 3 hours every day.. fuck it
NotyouGuillermo
Ooof, that's rough. Why such a far commute?
eromitlab
dreaming of fighting freeway traffic at the buttcrack of dawn to go in to some bullshit job, lol
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
I normalized this for more than a 20 years. That while routine of timing the exit of the house to the last 15 seconds, the rising sun in your eyes, sleepy and inattentive drivers everywhere.
If you were really proactive or knew you needed fuel, you might be able to sneak a sad coffee and a savoury sandwich from the fuel centre.
What a fucking joke.
GatorConspiracy
PaulManley101
If you imagine "freeway traffic" as an angry giant. Then it's much more heroic.
I was there. In the morning light. Fighting Freeway Traffic all the way into the city. I was there, while you were drinking coffee at the company tit.

I think the seatbelt is even more messed up than what chongoblog says. The AI has sonfused ties and seat belts as "things that dangles down and across the body". The AI has depicted the top end as a knot like a tie and the bottom end inserted into a buckle like a seatbelt. In the event of a crash, you get ejected out the windscreen feet first while hanging yourself
TheSilverSeraph
My bad, I missed the word "Tie" in chongoblog's comment. I thought he was saying the seatbelt would not move, just like the gearshift. I think they were obviously making the same point about the AI confusing ties and seatbelts
doctorId
A much better outcome than having to commute every day

Alternatively, without the headrest you could break your neck if someone rear-ended you.

Make it a metal ribbon-cable tie, and you can decapitate yourself, for maximal efficiency!

The suitcase also appears to be confused with a leather front seat I think. It's amazing how these things pass at first glance, I enjoy "What's wrong with this picture" puzzle books but fear now it would train plagiarism-AI to be flawless
brazzy42
An actual physical tie with a seat belt latch plate at the end would be a fun piece of dadaist art.

ihateimgurffs
It didn't confuse anything. The way it works is by trying to denoise an image into something, and the two are similarly positioned and colored so it merged them. You can abuse that aspect of image generation to get some really neat effects.
RaspK
But it *does* confuse them, in that it does not make any distinction between them; ergo why it concludes (as an algorithm) that this is acceptable result, without anything to drive it to achieve that end. It's "hallucinating" (technical use of the term) that this is a sensible output, without any input that would make that true.
TheSilverSeraph
Thanks for explaining. I ain't no AI-ologist
SurprisinglySpry
Man fuck commuting. Like, rEALLLY get in there and give it proper rogering.
NKato
My commute is two miles in my gas-guzzling V8 ex-cop car. I *actually* have to take a detour to make sure the engine gets fully warmed up before I turn it off, so I don't inevitably cause the engine to eat itself alive. AND I have to turn off fourth gear (also known as Overdrive). I am thinking about eventually buying a small commuter for this purpose, and bonus points if I can have it be a hybrid EV.
HuJim
I enjoy my daily commute to work (40-50 minutes each way), but only because there's typically no traffic in the direction I'm going. If it was even 30 minutes*with* traffic, I'd quit my job
MasterBaconProclomation
….this isn’t a brag. It used to take me 1.5 hours to get to work. 15 min to get home (bar in Chicago). I can now see my place from my bar. Like, from a window in what I consider, “my bar”. I can’t imagine going back to commute. I enjoy a 90 second stroll to work. I have found the shire, and it is real. And it’s in the thumb of Wisconsin
GatorConspiracy
I’ve literally saved hundreds of dollars a month on gas alone by going fully remote. That’s not including wear & tear or time driving. It pisses me off how they try to keep us in our subservient places with demanding we go into the office. Control freak assholes.
CaptainInvictus
I literally took my career because the location is less than five minutes down the road. I remember my mom used to work four towns over, and had to commute during rush hours, so she would be traveling upwards of 3 hours(if traffic was decent) every day. I could never hack it
johnxbear
What exactly did Roger do during the commute?
oliasgrey
I actually don't mind being in the office as I quite like my co-workers, but I HATE the commute. 1¼ hours each way on average, jammed into a train full of coughing, sneezing bastards.
dohcohv
It doesn't bother me, but my commute generally doesn't have any traffic and I like driving and listening to music. That's just me, I understand some people hate it.
peeopeepee
Same here. My favorite day of the week is Tuesday, because I do a 200 mile lap around a few counties. Kinda wish every day was Tuesday.
captainfakeypants
Pay for a vehicle.
Pay for maintenance\fuel\insurance.
Waste your unpaid time queueing in traffic.
Pay for parking, maybe.
Waste your unpaid time all over again queueing to get home.

Remote work should have become the standard.
captainfakeypants
If you want me to come in, you're going to have to pay for all my transport costs and I'm on the clock the minute I stop doing my own personal things and get into a car at your request.
airbreather
I enjoy having colleagues that I see face to face, and I like keeping my home and work lives a bit separated. I hated remote work. It's not for everyone.
ArdentSlacker
Cool. You go back to the office. The rest of us will do remote.
DukeDarkwood
This: Voluntary choice. As long as the job gets done, does it MATTER where you do it? Some work better in an office. Others do so in a workspace of their own making, at home. As long as productivity doesn't suffer, who cares? The boss gets their bottom line, the company makes money, everyone should be happy.
SyntheticReindeer
I commute 2 days a week and my total travel time is between 3,2-4 hours. Im ok with it cuz I like riding trains.

I might not have taken my current job if it wasn't only a 15 minute drive from my house tbh

Any drive longer than time. Is no drive at all.
Clockworkdancerobot
SO's company is trying to force people back into the office. 90% of what she does can be done remotely thankfully.
euphoricopportunity
They did that for my company, but only 3 days per week.
TeaOverdose
After 4 years of remote work, my mental and physical health yearns for working somewhere that's not my house. I will probably regret the commute, but at least it'll make me walk a bit every day.
GatorConspiracy
You know you are allowed to go outside to places with all the extra time you gain by not commuting. Like you can just open your door and there’s a whole world to explore with your new free time.
cakeycakes
Companies should be paying for commute time.
Hellscourge
My last job I was working, I was doing technical support via hotline. My boss asked me if I also could do some work at several locations. I agreed, but told them I'd only do it if commuting time would count as work time as well.
Because otherwise I would be driving 1.5 hours to the Company to do work at the location for 2 hours, drive back 1 hour to the regular work place and work there for another 6 hours and then drive back home for another 30 minutes.
Making my workday a lovely 10 hour
Hellscourge
workday when only getting paid for 8. And we can't forget the mandatory breaks that would push that to 10 hours and 45 minutes then.
We also can't forget the times when the tram just doesn't arrive, comes late, gets stuck, and the trip takes longer than planned.
To no ones surprised they didn't agree to that.
