"His art is 100% AI generated, yet it has no extra fingers, no generic designs"

"no generic designs"

lol

Plot twist, the "artist" is the ceo's significant other and a $20 gpt subscription.

Outrage bait to promote their shitty NFT game.

[–] sc_griffith@awful.systems 1 points 8 months ago

yeah this person does not exist and pcgamer is getting suckered into providing publicity for a crypto scam, based on absolutely nothing

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 1 points 8 months ago

fucking hell, looking at those images is a who's who of identifying stolen imagery, over and above the milquetoast extrageneric hallmark blandness

[–] Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems 1 points 8 months ago

Wow those are not even pretending the design's not ripped off from Hearthstone.

The artist is probably outsourcing the actual work to a hundred poor souls for peanuts.

Why? An AI can spit out amazing images in about 30 seconds. That's why I'm confused with them saying they paid a person $90k for AI art. Put a description in the chat box with a $20 per month subscription and get exactly what is on these cards.

where are they? these cards look like shit

The cards are certainly highly detailed and I'm pretty sure that's what they think at quality is. They unfortunately lack any kind of unifying artistic direction. The sad truth is that there's plenty of kids out there dumping their allowance on shitty generic gachapon stuff and other similar games. This one will do just fine in that crowd while people with taste see the market for what's good evaporate.

It happened with audio. Audiophiles hate on people who overpay for garbage and those people who but the garbage and justify the shitty market will defend their garbage like it's their identity.

Look at Pokemon. What mattered about Pokemon has been replaced with focus group nonsense. People still buy it up.

Here's the thing about art. If it's got nothing to say, it's just eye candy at best.

I’ve said this to someone else before here, and I’ll repeat it for you now: you need to look at better art
