If the shade is really that different, then the problem is a poorly calibrated screen, and black text on white is also going to look "totally different".

Studies have shown that the excessive contrast of black text on white overstimulates the eyes, creating more eyestrain than dark grey (#444).

Here's a study showing how the overstimulation from black text on white background can cause myopia through choroidal thickening (and the reverse, with white text on black background causing choroidal thinning.) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28904-x

Prometheus as a Christian allegory (spoilers)

I believe Ridley Scott has broadly acknowledged this theory, and, when viewed through that lens, the repeated symbolism throughout the film is unmistakeable.

Some good suggestions. The cooked onions are delicious, and definitely worth keeping. I've used them in a roasted vegetable side dish, and within a veggie lasagna. The recipe is very well known though so there's lots of suggestions online for what to do with them e.g. https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/what-to-do-with-onion-from-marcella-hazan-tomato-sauce-article.

Just to note, while black mold is common on onions and can be washed/cut off. The roots of some other molds can be highly toxic and discarding the visibly affected parts may not be enough, so be very careful.

Can't go wrong with Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce recipe if you're looking for easy and tasty:

28oz can of tomatoes (San Marzano is best), 5 tbsp butter, onion peeled and cut in half. Add all ingredients to a pan and simmer on a medium heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, and gently crushing tomatoes. Remove onion and add salt to taste. Makes 4 servings.

I like to throw in a sprig of basil too, but it's not necessary.

And would you say that an idea formed from the combination of multiple old human ideas is not original? If the influence of an existing idea disqualifies it from being original then very little could be considered original. If something additional to existing ideas is needed for originality then that what is that thing which is beyond the capability of an AI?

Personally, I would argue that any new combination of existing ideas is inherently original (i.e. a fresh perspective.)

Talking specifically about image generators (rather than LLMs) which are trained on billions of images - some of which would be widely considered as artwork (old ideas?) and others documentary photographs.

Those 'new' ideas can be inputted as a prompt into an AI image generator. Would the output of that satisfy your criteria for OC?

How so? What is it that makes art OC that cannot be applied to AI created art? I think it would take an extremely narrow definition which would also exclude a significant amount of human created art.
