god devs have absolutely no idea the kind of precarity artists have had to live through, like what self-centered bs, in addition to the image being terrible
Right?? I was just thinking this really ought to be the other way around. The sheer idiocy of developers thinking they've experienced more industry upheaval, ffs. I had teachers in art school that struggled to survive the change from print to digital in graphic design! It's been a thing for a WHILE.
Honestly, not even ever dev, just the annoying tech bros.
Many devs hate this shit as much as everyone, specially when they're gamedevs like myself, which you know... is also an art form, that requires the talent of real artists...
Like, I had a teacher that was trained in how to do typesetting. With the physical little metal letters you had to lay out in a tray and shit. The kind of thing that was pioneered in the 1800s. Imagine how many career pivots he had to make!
Graphic designers also lost their jobs to clipart and digital printers 40-50 years ago. Up until the 1980's there used to be a graphic/print shop with a physical old school printing press, screen printing, etc in even smaller towns. Almost all gone by the 1990's or converted into newspaper shops.
I mean they're not wrong about the job loss thing. Greed is a hell of a drug. This will however only ever appeal to boomers. Anyone younger than that will just be insulted by the abysmal quality of AI "art".
No one remembers, of course, during the dot com bubble, employers hired people with no experience, right out of college, to design their software interfaces, which quickly caused the bubble to burst because they couldn't do the job. This is AI right now. It can't do the job. No substance.
If this is the "future" of art I hope I fucking die.
It's not just that it's a rip off. It...SUCKS....it's just bad. It's boring. Sorry guys. Boring. Who would have thought an unfeeling machine is bad at conveying feeling into its work? Who would have known?...yuck.
Thankfully it isn't the future of art, because it isn't even art to begin with. Real artists will never stop existing, this is just another form of slop, there will always be demand for real art.
This is essentially nothing more than the modern incarnation of NFT's
When you said it was Michael I thought "maybe I got this wrong it's been a while and I can kinda see it" but fuck he looks way more like James Franco lol
Michael Fassbender was the guy in Inglorious Bastards right? One of them? He's pretty fucking cool tbh.
He doesn’t have the right expression, either. Nothing about this face says “sneering in the face of death,” something even still images of the movie convey, which is no doubt why it became a meme in the first place.
Did the graphic designer forget to finish the portion of the rope that should be around the neck? Sorry but that is driving me nuts. There’s just a dead end on that hangman’s knot…
No its not. Becuase it's not drawing anything, it's just stealing other people work. Have you tried drawing? It's a skill you need to work on to improve. Like literally everything creative.
If originality is required for merit, then this entire thread is artificial.
It isn’t great right now, but I look forward to a day when I can ask ai to remake season 8 of game of thrones, because humans can’t do that right.
It's nothing to do with originality, even someone copying a ghibli art style by hand are still learning a skill and improving on that. There is intent to it. They will go on to get better, put their own twist on things improve their craft. The journey is often the most important part.
trained artists are better than 99% of people at drawing. Trained artists are generally better than generated imagery because they remember to draw the rope around the neck
A real artist would have never had that problem to begin with, they'd be too hyperfocused on making it perfect to allow such an obvious flaw to even exist.
I also support the sentiment in it. I think AI will get good enough at making “junk food” quality entertainment. Generic kids shows. Netflix filler while doing the laundry. But the nuance of tone, taste, knowing your audience, for art that connects, you need that human touch. Big Macs vs Waygu.
Consistently we see that AI will always suck because, while everyone misses things, people miss things other people will miss; AI misses stuff at an equal rate, regardless of how obviously wrong it is.
They are using it wrong. Because AI can recreate some of the trappings but doesn’t understand the narrative. Jokes are stories, and AI doesn’t recognize stories.
Is it not referencing developers hearing the "you're gonna get replaced!" rhetoric the same way artists are, when the ai slop can't even do basic shit right? The use of the shitty ai meme intentional here, I thought. Like, ironically (still stupid tho).
True, specially because no real artist would ever miss the VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL OF THE ROPE BEING TIED AROUND THEIR NECKS! This is not something minor, this is some very major and very important thing this generated image fucked up!

JFC, guys like this need to grow up.
At the same time they're also not real graphic designers either...
Kinda looks like a middle aged/old man tbh while also not looking like that? Like the program genuinely couldn't tell how old the character was.
Generic template feel
Rope isn't around neck.
Yup, that's AI art alright.

I haven't seen it so for some reason I always assumed it was from the Assassin's Creed movie xD
The shame I feel. The shame....

IS NEO!!!!
Or maybe like that Futurama movie?
I hate AI so much. It's never good. Lmfao
they don't even know the right terms to use for the industry they think they're killing
That's how I'm interpreting it, at least.
