People really ought to be more embarrassed about putting shit like this up in public.
This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

This is interesting drama to follow lol
TLDR, the people who made the AI coke commercial are denying it and generating fake concept art, actual concept artists are ripping it all apart as fake because the guy has no idea how any of this works

The disconnected Apple Pencil? The expression sheet with all the same expression? The art with the footsteps in the snow in front of the characters running? The file with one (1) background layer? Erasing the “hand drawn” background by hand on said one (1) layer file? Where do I starttttttt

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

When it comes to the media industry + AI, this post by @werd.io has really stayed with me: werd.io/evaluating-ai/ – specifically this line:
"AI output should never be seen by an end user: they’re potentially useful tools to speed up someone’s work, but the end result still needs to be human."
