I mean this with complete sincerity and without a hint of irony or rancor or anything like that, if anyone has any good places including other SA threads* for me to go pull bad AI art from to make fun of then please absolutely point me at them.

_{*though not SA threads where people are posting their own bad AI art, this isn't that kind of thread}

Almost as if creating decent art yourself requires you to have a shred of humanity left in the blackened cancerous husk where a heart used to be.

It's... almost poetic how every single person is running with the same leg down except for the girl?
And then you look closer and see her right leg has two feet.

Nice to see that most people don't want this to end up as PYF lovely AI Art: a picture tells a thousand slurs

I'm trying to find one of the AI blogspam sites that was hilariously bad uncurated GPT articles with automated AI art illustration/captioning, it's terrible but also innocent enough for the thread, I'm sure there's threadworthy material on DeviantArt but I don't really wanna see that kind of thread either.

Having said that I had to see this the other day so now the rest of you can too :

Found this while trying to find the other site: NFT bro publishes an AI book!

quote:

To celebrate the coming new year and the closing of 2023, Balenciaga presents animated artworks that bring new life to archival images from the era of the Couture House’s founder, Cristóbal Balenciaga.
Using AI technology, a series of archive images taken by fashion photographer Thomas Kublin for Cristóbal Balenciaga, which capture several iconic masterworks, are imbued with movement, bridging a past with a future.

Man, lot of this on linkedin. Here's balenciaga trying to animate some of their archival photos

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/balenciaga_to-celebrate-the-coming-new-year-and-the-activity-7146092452502802432-teFL


They clearly didn't really know what the original fashion pics were going for, or curate the results to only the ones that worked (for instance, check out 0:26, where the original photo seems to be going for an artsy motion blur, and the ai animation just turns it into a stubby half-arm)

I'm starting to see online ads for products which are clearly AI generated images.

The promo images:


The product photos:




I'm guessing they paid someone on Fiverr a measly sum to make those real world sculpts, hosed up hand anatomy and all

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Another weird quasi-scam I've seen popping up more and more frequently is ads with obviously AI-generated images (almost always with copy that talks about how the artist is going out of business and selling off their excess stock for crazy low low prices) but they actually follow through and mail out actual physical reproductions to anyone dumb enough to place an order, and the end products are hilariously lovely

AI ad:


What people actually receive:

Tunicate posted:

I think you have it reversed, they have some mediocre physical objects and they are using an Ai tool to add backgrounds and extra detail for the ads

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Forbes did an article about it and tracked down the Instagram artist who created the original AI lamp images which the scammers ripped off: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattno...sh=170c59806612
They've since deleted their Insta and the internet wayback machine didn't keep a copy

Edit: it's a lot more obvious with the skull hoodie figurines, the original AI generated images had hosed up hands and the lovely products replicate the hosed up AI anatomy

This annoying Youtuber has a good collection of boomers on social media falling for obviously fake Ai images

Tunicate posted:

so they didn't even make the images themselves? And then made a crappy physical lamp? that is a really bizarre level of lazy

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Those fake lamps are being sold all over eBay and Amazon by thousands upon thousands of vendors, it's clearly some sort of bait-and-switch scam and I assume their aim is to drag out delivery times and complaint resolution as long as possible until they rack up a certain number of sales, at which point they simply dump the account and start over. I guess if they mail out an actual physical item which mostly resembles the images at the top of the ad means they can drag out the process even longer since they actually "fulfill" the sales so they get cycled into the refund process instead of having their account deleted right away

Here's one vendor from Amazon, scroll down and check out all the feedback they got.

Note that they include a video of the lovely real world product, I guess they're relying on their marks to not scroll that far
