You know what I wouldn’t have called a few years back is just how obvious AI looks no matter how cleaned up the lines and hallucinations get.
I guess in a way it makes sense though? The same way an actual artist has a style you can sniff out after seeing them enough even an algorithm has its tells too.
I’m pretty sure that even just being a little less lazy with the prompts would make it better at seeming original, but then you’d need to pay someone to think about something for 30 minutes, and that’s 7 dollars wasted!
Image generators can make a much wider variety of styles than this (still all derivative, of course), but the people in charge of these AI companies are hollowed out soulless fuckers, trying to make a product that produces “content”-shaped images, to sell to an audience of creatively bereft upper managers at games and media companies, who’ve spent their entire careers trying to corral artists into producing interchangeable art so they can be more easily reassigned and fired.
