But why on a circuit board?

I'm pretty curious if you photo-shopped this, or actually programmed it. Interesting piece either way.

I'm impressed you managed to pull this off that quickly, but as you say, the picture of Pinkie comes from somewhere else, so it's only partly yours. I just don't know if I'm supposed to get any additional meaning from the choice of medium.

This is really cute and energetic, and I just love the casual nihilism. But I do kind of have to wonder what I'm looking at? Is this etched on a circuit board, or is this an electronic display of some kind? If not, then I'm a bit confused why you decided to frame it with all the microchip-looking bits on the sides. I think there must be something clever going on that I'm just not getting.

If anyone thinks they know what's going on, feel free to let me know. Otherwise, would love to hear a retro from the artist after the round closes!

Definitely getting a 'trapped in the matrix' type vibe out of this one. Inventive use of the prompt, in conjunction with the display technology. It hadn't occurred to me until the other comments, but I'd grant more points if I could be sure that the artist drew the Pinkie, as well as managing the display.

Still, it's a provocative combination of image and media to enhance the impact.

Ah, if you'd only filled the image area with an AI generated pony, we'd have wound up with the visual analogue of Transponer.

As it stands, this is an amusing and effectively low effort piece. I'll be giving the higher ranks on my slate to works that took more original effort, but thanks for creating it, Artificer.
