Nothing sells propaganda and videogames like fingers fingers fingers.

quote:

What would otherwise have been a fairly minor announcement, the news that some old Duke Nukem games were coming to an Evercade handheld, has blown up after the rapid discovery that the bundle’s promotion included a bunch of terrible machine-generated imagery.

Even the most cursory glance at the portfolio of the person responsible for providing the work, Oskar Manuel, should have sounded alarm bells. Describing themselves as a “hybrid artist”, their portfolio consists almost entirely of machine-generated imagery.

Following outcry from both fans and artists, Evercade’s parent company has deleted all their promotional material provided by Manuel, (who they said in a now-deleted Tweet was “very talented” and “award-winning”), as well as apologising and saying they are “removing the art where possible to do so” (it appears this art was only for promotional purposes, and isn’t used in the games themselves).

Who the gently caress does this poo poo benefit? Does Hyundai want their products marketed as a hosed up Kronenburg Mini Coupe?

Speaking of ads which are blatantly using generative AI to make hosed up cars, have another ad, this time for the Fallout tv show that is coming out apparently:



It's the sorta poo poo that looks fine at a very quick glance but the more you look at it the more is wrong with it; though the cars with two front ends are pretty easy to see. I sortaaa get it when normal ads go for generation with no oversight on the AI but come the gently caress on, this is an ad for what is in theory a creative work with a large budget that probably has concept art, promotional stills, etc. Is a generative image with three legged people, gibberish letters, and palm tree streetlights the best you can do?

I had to see that one in a tiny timg thumbnail on my phone for it to make sense. It's Jesus looking off to the right like in the next example, with the womens' heads and arms being his hair, that fabric wrinkle towards the upper right being an eye, and the darker spots on the dog heads making a vague nose/mouth shadow. It's very abstract for sure.

I kinda love those ones in their own way. They move beyond the crazy but understandable intent going into the more recognizable Jesus images into something that's just plain weird. They're like a window into a chaos dimension.
