AI continues to be everywhere, and now it’s appearing on the GOG store too most recently a big banner for their New Year Sale.
if it’s any consolation, some people at GOG don’t like it either, so maybe they’ll revert this and won’t do it again
this sucks, still. to me this just sends the message that GOG doesn’t care and will not put much effort into what they do. that’s not a good message to send when you’re selling yourself as a games preservation platform…
Heaven forbid actually paying an artist to make your stupid banner.
I’m a graphic designer, and I’ve been kind of amazed how many people like to show me the graphic/logo/whatever AI made for them. They don’t seem to get that they’re just rubbing in my face that they don’t want to pay an artist…
It always looks kinda crappy too, so I just have to fake the reaction all around.
The amazing thing is that people generated AI art and then say
“I generated some AI art.”
No you didn’t, you told an AI model what to make using what is virtually search terms and some constraints.
Epistemologically correct way to phrase that, actually. They had the idea, they expressed it, and they refined it into an output they were hoping for. It’s no different in methodology, just different in participation and self-effort.
You semantics-warriors wouldn’t understand that if it hit you in the head like a sack of bricks though.
