I look forward to more AI failures and flops and hope the public and financial backlash is intense for each every one of them. You cannot automate human creativity, and until the powers that be feel that in their wallets, we’re going to be getting more and more of this inane drivel while actual, talented writers lose job opportunities.
The company has since promised to refund customers, but whether they’ll all actually get their money back remains to be seen.
No, we’re describing a human endeavour. If the promotional flyers had been made by outsourcing it to Fiverr and they came back wonky it would have been the same basic problem. They outsourced this and then ether didn’t have the resources or interest in checking the work that came back.
This was clearly a scam from the start. AI art is a tool, just like a paintbrush - if you don’t know what you’re doing (or if you just dont give a fuck, like this event), the outcome will understandably be shit.
This wasn’t a failure of AI. It was just a low-effort charade. If you want to put in the least amount of effort possible in such things, AI is there for you.
If they had put in any effort whatsoever they would’ve taken the first “draft” BS generated by the AI, made some minimal changes, then fed it back into the AI for further improvement.
Chat AIs are just that: Chat. You’re supposed to go back and forth in conversation with the AI in order to get a good result. It appears the organizers of this event put together some terrible prompts and didn’t even bother to spend an extra ten minutes refining things.
AI is a tool like any other. This pathetic event is a textbook case of how AI can’t replace humans entirely (not yet, anyway). You still gotta put in some effort.
It’s gonna be the new Dot Com bubble. Sure, we’ll have to deal with this nonsense for another year or two, but once it gets to the point of insanity/critical mass hopefully that’s when people stop throwing AI at everything.
I see ads all around my city for the new Galaxy S24, it looks the exact same as my S23, and probably has the same hardware, mostly, but their new selling point is that it comes with AI. That’s literally the only thing on the billboard.
Yeah, this is just people misapplying the AI tools we are given. They’re not close to General AI, you certainly can’t expect them to do all the work for you yet.
Problem is, even when we get over this shit and hire the “creatives” back, they won’t be getting the same wages.
And a lot of the money that could go to the artists is going to go to these silicone valley pricks, too. Never think for a second the people making AI like this don’t appreciate what they’re doing. This shit is custom built to steal the livelihood from artists and put it directly into their own pockets.

I’d be demanding it in full.
They didn’t even proof read the promotional flyers to make sure they made sense. It’s an absolutely absurd level of laziness.
You’re describing AI. We are in the get rich quick period of AI usage.

Exactly. Whatever happened to, blame the artist not the tools?
