    Really cool article. Except this bit:

    The image of Saturn was generated with ChatGPT.

    Fucking why? Could have saved time and energy with traditional search. Leave the slop out, please.

    This guy built an image-to-ASCII renderer.

    This is so impressive!!!

    I thought this topic would be how different programs render ASCII characters into images of the letters, but then I realized that’s just what fonts are.

    This is ASCII characters being used to render images. We used to do this on old mechanical typewriters as an enrichment activity in typing class.

    Quality article - thanks for sharing!

    I used to make (very bad) ASCII art as a hobby during my PhD (it’s good for relaxing), and a lot of the “smoothing” I learned but I think the method for good contrast would have really helped back then!

    I remember back in the day getting my mind blown by the BB demo on a live Linux CD (Knoppix?)

    I only know the library for doing this stuff is libcaca just because it’s libpoop in spanish

    No repo? Crazy to put the writing in but not share the work (unless I missed it).
