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

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

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

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

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. :v:

The tweet is parody

NBC News did an article on that tweet, quoting a bunch of enraged people and seeking comments from 'experts' and even reaching out to the Keith Haring Foundation for comment (they didn't respond)

quote:

Some experts suggest that Donnel most likely didn’t do anything illegal in using AI on Haring’s work. However, the post could have crossed ethical boundaries, “because it’s very disrespectful to not only anyone who was around during the AIDS epidemic, but particularly those who died from it or who lost friends and loved ones during it,” said Tina Tallon, an assistant professor of AI and the arts at the University of Florida.

Even if it was perfectly ethical you still have the issue that these approaches can't actually result in an AI that can draw human legs, just one that can extrapolate from images of human legs that it has seen before. It doesn't have any internal rules about musculature, how far joints can flex, how many knees people usually have etc that dictate what shapes legs will look like in different angles. They're a very big, very complex collection of weighted if/then/else statements but the if/then/elses are all about what pixels are usually near other pixels in appropriate contexts. A program that created 3d models of people and then rendered the art from the appropriate angles also wouldn't "know" what a leg was - that's not the kind of argument I'm making here - but it would reliably only include two of them. AI art is complicated tracing and artists have been mocking that for decades.

My wife was asking me the other night what I was laughing at so I showed her the Wonka ads from this thread and she showed me an Amazon listing for a book of crochet patterns that she had been looking at the other day. The cover had some cute, very normal looking crocheted bags laid out nicely, the description sounded pretty normal, but the only couple of reviews were all intensely negative. So she read the reviews and sure enough, the contents are 100% AI generated: none of the bags featured on the cover have patterns inside, the patterns that are included are at best bare bones but are often nonsensical, it doesn't have the charts or photos claimed, and most of the book is AI generated gobblydegook often about completely different topics.

Then she showed me the related products links. The same author has dozens of other crochet and knitting books listed on different themes, all new within a couple months. The one she saw first had a couple 1-star reviews to warn people off but most of them hadn't been reviewed yet and someone might be tempted to roll the dice on them. Eventually someone will buy it and review it, but in the time that it takes someone to try one and review it the author can effortlessly pump out a dozen others that start with clean slates. Sure, consumers will learn to get wiser and more cautious... but what does that do to someone who is actually trying to publish a book of real crochet patterns? AI isn't going to make art accessible for everyone, it's going to make art less accessible for everybody because everything will be buried beneath a deluge of terrible, pointless noise.

Oh yeah there's already tons of lovely AI-generated books on Amazon. Here's a blog post from a librarian who ordered a pile of kids books for their shelves and discovered one was AI nonsense:




Even worse, a few months ago an established author discovered that someone was selling lovely AI books under her name. Amazon eventually took them down although initially they'd refused to act on them since the author couldn't show that her name was trademarked so they'd originally decided that it wasn't against the rules.


It's just the latest in a long long pattern of people selling lovely fake books on Amazon via Kindle or print-on-demand because it's super super low cost and if you get caught you can just start up another account and start over. Years ago they used to print collections of Wikipedia articles on a related topic as guidebooks, a few years ago there an incredibly predatory racket where scammers were selling a course on generating "passive income" via the gig economy by commissioning gig writers to churn out a book on the topic of your choosing for ridiculously low sums which you could then flog on Amazon. Here's a video all about that. The advent of AI meant that they could continue that scam without even needing to exploit desperately poor writers.

What I'm saying is that it stands to reason that there are Klimt paintings out there that are objectively not AI. You cannot extrapolate backwards that because an AI image resembles another that it is therefore AI.

In this particular case with the Batman art I think their argument is pretty weak. Other companies have been caught out using AI art recently and it's usually a bit more obvious and I suspect that people have been keeping an eye out for it showing up in comicbooks but they may have jumped the gun

I've always felt that African American erasure from records and depictions of the Wild West era (1865-1895) is a wider issue that many people realise. After the Civil War there was a huge influx of freed slaves from SE states into the frontier regions where they could claim land and start new jobs and roughly 1/3 of the cowboys working the Wild West were African American. That era was also pretty foundational to the US's sense of self & history, especially via Old West TV shows and movies which were a hugely formative factor in how the American people see themselves and their values, and those values and ideas of self have trickled down throughout popular media ever since. African Americans were a huge part of that era but most of the thousands upon thousands of old movies and TV shows which depicted that era completely erased them and that's only started to be reversed in recent times. It's yet another example of "The Good Old Days" which many conservatives yearn for which only really ever existed in classic media which badly skewed and whitewashed the reality of the actual times.

Having said that, I don't think that creating fake photorealistic images will actually help that at all and might actually muddy the waters and make it even harder to acknowledge the reality of the historical situation
