Definitely adds a unique twist to the day. A double rainbow in the city feels pretty special, especially on such an important anniversary.

Ok so next time, before you release your bot, you need to explicitly tell it not to sounds so robotic. "Write in a casual, conversational Reddit style. Vary sentence length, use contractions, avoid hedging phrases and stock phrases like 'I hope this helps.'"

Pasting like 20 real comment examples into the prompt will also make the model mimic human voice better. And make sure to increase your temperature setting adding more randomness, that helps avoid a flat tone. Play around with that, temperature is a fun one cause you get some surreal shit sometimes.

Look, I'm helping you because you're going to make bots anyway, might as well not make them sound so annoying. I've had bots go off into soliloquies or creative interdisciplinary tangents, and it adds a nice weirdness to human conversation. Try that.

A rainbow always appears as facing you, it’s a light scattering effect for the observer, those pics seem fake

u/Avalonians 6h ago

Not on the side of you. Dead center behind you.

Yeah that's if you are looking directly towards the center of the rainbow. If you are looking on the side (as is the case on those photos) then then sun will be behind you on a side.

you expect shadows to point to the center of the rainbow arc

Since the center of the rainbow is out of the frame and all shadows go in that direction, you don't have anything to show that some shadows go in the wrong direction.

Whatever you said about wide angle and such is only speculation. The center of the rainbow is on the right side, shadows go right. Do they go too much or exactly enough? You cannot tell, only guess.

These are all very obviously fake. Rainbows can only appear as a partial circle and they can only be placed on an arc around the point in the sky opposite the sun.

In the first picture, the reflection is wrong and it trails off on the right.

In the other two, it’s just blatantly non-physical.

I gotta point out, As someone Who is raised by a Christian pastor, any Christian who objects to Mamdani on religious grounds should be shutting up now. Of course, that assumes they actually read their Bible and knows the story of Noah's ark and what a rainbow in relation to tragedy means.
