You know when modern art started to be released it was called unfinished, sloppy and vulgar. Now it’s the most in demand art today.
Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union condemned modern art as degenerate
Abstracts - “My kid could paint that”.
for me - bring on the CPU/GPU cycles! Chaching!
GenAI art is literally 2 months old in age, and its only going to get better and better and better ( and its not going to be so accessible as it is today so great human artists have nothing to worry about).
I noticed that Ron looked very weird on some of the art but ok on other parts of the art. AI has been used for sure but hard to argue that the games don’t look lovely.
oh and I’m neilmcrae on pinside and happy to approve your membership.
You aren’t missing anything over on pinside, stay away, stay very far away. Full of toxicity. Yuck.

why is that important?
It actually appears to be very easy to argue that portions of the game do not look lovely. This post, which is basically a cursory look at screenshots, found a large number of details that were rather egregiously messed up.
As OP noted, it’s orthogonal to reply about whether AI should or should not have been used here, or used in general, or if it’s the future, etc. That’s not the topic! (also, it’s definitely not literally two months old???)

I was happy to see our local operator say they won’t be routing this one. Lots of chatter that TDs won’t put in events. Good to see.

What an embarrassing thing for you to post. Please don’t respond to my comments.

I would suggest it’s best to NOT compare AI-generated images to art that was suppressed by the nazis? but that’s just me. Maybe you’re operating under the false idea that AI generated images involve significant skill and/or effort?

How many LLM’s have you built?

Personally I’m not a fan of the theme so the art is meaningless to me whether drawn by AI or by DaVinci. I got slated for posting the weirdness in some of the photos by plenty but I actually didn’t even consider it was AI (only because that would be innovative of JJP).
AI age I meant evolution wise - AI art is here and it’s staying and nearly every day you probably look at AI art it use AI in something that you do - and as I wrote if you are good at what you do (with all AI) you have nothing to worry about.
Regards,
Neil.
Just glad I have more to point out on why I don’t like it other than Shitty IP Author. (Although that’s enough to hate it)

Some of the best innovations were made by the lazy Brian!
Hey all. I think that a calm discussion on the use of AI in pinball is perfectly welcome to this board, but I’d like to see the rhetoric come down a few notches.
Thanks!

Yes of course apologies.

The only way to prevent this from becoming the new standard for pinball art is to make it clear that this is unacceptable. I’m letting my local operator know that I’m not spending any money at a location that hosts this slop.

Who is this a reply to? What does it add to the discussion? It is just as easy to be considerate as it is to condescend.
Jacob.
Edit: sorry, I replied before I saw Greg’s comment. And Neil’s follow up. Apologies to both. Dont time me out, ill put myself in the corner

I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who saw that there was something “unusual” about the artworks. I’m aware that there is a thread on Pinside too.
Anyway, after some digging, I’ve come to the conclusion that the generative model used was SDXL. Which version precisely doesn’t matter, there’s dozens.
