Fuckin’ SSSLLAAmmMMMMmEeeDddd, dude!
Like a trashcan lid to the head!
How will they survive such a thorough slamming?
I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.
AI art is always so immediately obvious. I understand the temptation. Oh wow, I can jazz up this throw-away post that no one really cares about.
But everyone that sees that post immediately notes oh its ai art again. Because our brains are picking up on all the details. So it kind of defeats and distracts from the point.
There might be ways of encorporating ai generated images into things, but it’s not gonna be by just generating an image with a prompt and running with that as your main graphic.
Never say never. I wouldn’t be too sure whether or not it remains obvious when AI is being used, and for how long. Right now though it’s definitely nothing that should be used as a final result. Really good way to get inspiration for moods and motives though
I don’t think it’s even good as inspiration, since it pretty much always just ends up looking fairly generic. Better to spend some time crawling the internet for more interesting and unique inspo
No offense, but I strongly disagree. For an initial inspiration sure, arch daily is still my go-to as well. But once you have some idea of what you want to propose to a client it’s honestly been a gamechanger to me. Much easier to get specific using prompts instead of searching some tags hoping someone already made, photographed, uploaded and tagged what you are looking for. In terms of how generic it is; so is most of the stuff on say Pinterest. I think it’s how you combine and implement what you find/generate. No matter the process. At the agency I work at AI image generation has been a great tool for the past half year. The release of Midjourney 4 made it viable for us, although I prefer StableDiffusion. Either way, I would not want to miss it.
it’s ironic, since AI generated always looks polished - but the identification is mostly context-based i.e. we know nobody would pay anyone for making that illustration from scratch: because it’s a throw-away
illustrations will be ubiquitous but mostly shit, only the shit will be more polished
so if an illustration is highly polished but otherwise garbage, it’s AI with high probability - because the craftsmanship of the generator exceeds the artistic taste and development of the user
Gosh, I pray they’re not using Photoshop as well! Won’t someone think of the children??
I really don’t care one way or the other. I think AI being used is an inevitability. I think it would only really be relevant if Microsoft had a policy against AI being used in games for things like asset generation for example.
gods am i glad microsoft didn’t have to dip into their literal trillion dollar valuation to pay independent artists any money at all to advertise the independent developers they’re so gleeful to take credit for
I’m not defending Microsoft. They’re a soulless corporation releasing an ad around a holiday where a lot of people have time off and recently received gift cards and spending cash. I don’t think them paying for an artist one time when they hope to use AI for a majority of their throwaway adverts really matters.
Yeah or an artist they already have on salary. This was just less work for someone already working for them.
It doesn’t matter if you all don’t like ai art. It’s not going away and it will only continue to be more prevalent.
You should embrace it. I say this as someone who has a ton of debt from art school still. Resistance is futile.
Just as much love as Microsoft shows the rest of Xbox
