So it has been in the hallway for two weeks after my son brought it home. Today, I decided to put it with his some 30 other sticks, after I tripped about it for the 10th time.

But just about 15 minutes later, I got a call from the playground: Code blue, plane on roof, plane on roof!

So I picked up the stick and rushed over to the playground. Happened to run into the the mom of the child whose plane was on the roof, nodded at her saying “don’t worry, I got this” as I passed her. And I got it.

But it turned out: She had no idea what I was talking about or why I had the giant stick, since the children didn’t even bother her with the problem; they went right to calling me.

    Your son is right. None of this stick segregation bullshit. “You belong outside on the stick pile” is something a stickist would say.

      The stick pile is in his room, of course, not outside. He wants a showcase for Christmas.

          Yes, the comment was justified. AI beaver head is fine, but AI that pretends to be real is not.

        Originally, I trusted the AI to cover the head only, but as usual, it also made tiny changes to the background. So I edited the post and this time just put the head over the original photograph by hand.

      Point taken; I edited the post and made sure that only the beaver head is generated, and otherwise it’s the authentic photograph.
