Do you see how weird the arm of the man in the middle picture is?
You don’t need generative AI to get this kind of pictures. You just put a layer of the wolf in front of the human before the shot, ask the human to move closer to the wolf and bam! There’s your picture, 100% free of AI slop and feels more natural.
Wouldn’t be harmful except its all completely stolen data and any data fed into it is completely insecure and open to the hands of the Altmans of the world (who publicly stated that the poors should be destroyed). You want that?
I was messing with AI before the generative part of it made everyone go sour on it so I’ve always seen it as highly transformative. I also have a deep hate for copyright companies and media hoarding juggernauts.
I think the best would be to have an open ecosystem instead of a locked gate with companies like Disney and Shutterstock holding the keys.
Im pretty sure even the big AI companies are salivating at lawsuits and legislations meant to lock out open source. Sam Altman doesn’t mind spending a billion on data if it buys him a soft monopoly and lets him charge ridiculous prices for a few seconds of GPU time.
The greatest threat to AI companies is if products like the one above can directly run inference and cut out the middle man. Sam Altman and co want to basically tax every AI venture through subscription services and most of the population seems to be cheering them on without realising it.
Seeing it as stolen data is what will lead to your second point being the only option, essentially.
The problem with this is, small and independent artists will always be fucked by generative ai because they are the most vulnerable to scraping, as a long time music fan i am disgusted with with what degenerative ai is doing to the music scene.
I also hate degenerative ai slop in general fuck that lazy shit.
Tbh, I don’t see the harm in this. Photobooth are a great use for gen AI. Not like someone was sitting in the booth drawing it by hand before that.

The same technology as those walls with a hole in it at funfairs and on seafronts.
Not seeing it.
I don’t see it but I’m certain these images are cherry picked and the real product has a lot of errors in it.
I don’t think it’s realistic to expect the same kind of quality using the technique you mentioned sadly.

What the fuck, back in my day that was just copy pasting your face on premade photo, and did not needed ai to work
