It’s always the hands

For sure, hands are generally getting better, but they are still a persistent problem. Mostly you need a prompter who isn't lazy and is actually looking at the outputs.

That would require paying someone to work, which is what they want to eliminate with AI.

The AI checks the AI, it's recursive and we're part of the simulation.

And next year, the AI will check us due to being embedded into our minds. Can't have any rogue humans

That's how we reach singularity

Right, but the person who prompted this image exists right now and their job will exist for the foreseeable future, so they need to not suck at their job until they're no longer needed. I personally don't see generative AI gaining the creative ability to define its own prompts in the near future, even if its generative outputs improve to the point where you don't need an experienced prompter to ensure that hands aren't deformed. Prompters are still going to be needed for highly specific prompts.

Whatcha talkin about? Our Lizard Overlords all have 6 fingers!

The first thing I check out in AI generated images is the hands. The hands in this ad are nightmare fuel. I can't believe they still wrnt ahead and published this, lol.

Well, maybe the image is real and it's just people from Bhopal

Those awful hands aside... has anyone seen that shirt! The buttons suddenly stop and middle split just disappears past the waist 😳

It got confused by the glitter thingy which ended up being placed right over that line, so it stopped continuing the line. The ML models literally have an object permanence memory problem, except defined over geometric patterns instead of over time.

Next to fine arts college

Hopefully, this isn't their handiwork...

handiwork

I see what you did there...

The neural network was told to make Asian people but it really wanted to make white people.

Nonpolitically.

Sarcasm aside, I really hate when lmayo computer touchers go off into the weeds, throwing dictionaries all the while, about how their favorite treat dispensers can't have political bias no matter what biases were programmed into them or what biases were in the data fed into them or what is asked of the output by the treat receivers.

And the arms in this case.

Whoever owns that raised forearm top left must have constant trouble grazing their knuckles on the ground.

Besides all the arm and hand comments, I noticed the center guy doesn't have buttons that run all the way down. I'm not sure if this is accurate clothing or not. It just seemed unusual.

cost cutting at its finest.

For a "Fine Arts College" too. Couldn't they have let some students do it?

Although ... Maybe they were worried about the consequences of rejecting a painting.

The ad is for a silk clothing store, located "next to fine arts college".

Ah, makes a bit more sense now.

AI made them light skinned too, or maybe it's a bad photo of a photo

India is pretty diverse. Those skin tones aren't unusual.

I know it's not unusual, the picture doesnt represent that diversity is all I was saying. I had read somewhere that AI seems biased towards white people.

It's bias towards the sample set. There was a Russian researcher that made an algorithm that upscaled pixelated images and used a Russian database for it. It turned a pixelated image of Obama into a white man.

I'm curious if this Indian ad's AI is trained off a western database or an Indian one. "Colorism" is an issue in Indian and only one face looks distinctly European to me.

The clothes - except for the weird kurta x shirt hybrid - look fine, so the AI probably trained on photos of Indians. Also, who looks distinctly European to you? All of these figures look passably Indian to me.

Girl in the back, fourth from the left. Could be the angle and hair though.

The shadows are wrong too. The people at the front seem to have a strong light source from their left (but not all angles are correct); the ones at the back, from ahead of them.

Three of the four arms sticking upwards don't look like they're attached to anybody. The one on the far left, that one is obviously attached to the guy there, but whose hand is he holding? That lady next to him? The arm is twisted around. And the two arms on the right side, they look disembodied, like they are props in a group photo. Weird.

Maybe they're from Bhopal

Does anyone know how well AI does feet? I'm beginning to think Rob Liefeld is part AI.

AI art is just orientalism but for carbon-based life forms

whats orientalism

A 19th century artistic movement in which western painters which sought to depict scenes from the East by mashing together various completely different cultures and environments they had seen in other paintings of the supposed East. The landscapes, architecture, clothing, animals, equipment, and practices depicted in Orientalist art could be taken from North Africa, Syria, Turkey, India, and China all at once, ultimately depicting nothing but an imagined aesthetic.

That writing looks so odd, I'm guessing it's supposed to be a Southeast Asian language like Laotian? Or maybe it's the Georgian script but much more f***ed up.
