I was looking for information on insect vision for a report I'm writing and came across an internet article. The first thing I noticed is that there was a picture under the header that the article called a mantis, but the anatomy was all wrong. It was covered in ocelli, for one.

Then I started reading, and as someone that has used chat GPT before... Yeah it was clearly written by an algorithm...

This is the site. https://healingpicks.com/

Look at the pics closely and you'll see they're messed up.

How long until the whole internet is just this shit? This is why there needs to be rules and shit about this, I don't care if it stifles the 'entrepreneurial spirit' of AI or whatever. The droves of lazy copy and paste style news and 'top ten' sites were already bad enough, but this shit is bringing the internet to a new low in quality.

I can't wait until this shit is banned by China or something.

Less LLM articles but “AI” shit has made finding art reference material so annoying. Search results are 50% sponsored ad links and a good 10% are shitty stable diffusion prompts. Even worse if you’re looking for generic scifi fantasy bs, then it feels like 70% of results are peoples ai robo waifus sometimes

Sci Fi art has gone downhill. Now it's gray powersuits with a little neon blue lights thrown in. It's so corprate and stale.

Mass effect esque generic corpo scifi aesthetic is so dreary. There was a glut of it even before “AI” was a thing, now it can be even more easily mass produced 😒

Now for where it’s really at, I hope to emulate even 1% of the style and inspired design of Jean Giraud/Moebius. He also was a big influence on Tom Parkinson Morgan/Abaddon, a current fantasy & scifi artist with a hugely unique style I love.

I miss the prog rock style airbrushed fantasy art

You should check out Ten Earth Shattering Blows. Abaddon broadcast it on Twitter some time ago. Weird fantasy, Moebius inspiration in the artwork

Halo aesthetics are dismal, too. It's more of than plus some more military bootlicking.

Big covenant aesthetic fan though. Iridescent purple everywhere chefs-kiss

They were loaded with post-9/11 scratched liberal fear-of-religious-foreigners vibes, but that also made them neat.

[–] Smeagolicious@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Oh the “scary foreigner” coding vibes around the covenant? It’s bad, folks. The visual design of halo 2/3/reach covenant though? Some of my earliest motivation to pick up art. Always cared way more about the aliens than the ubiquitous jingoistic humans anyway.

For old sci fi stuff, have you ever gone to a used book store and looked at the old sci fi covers? A lot of interesting art ended up on the covers of cheap pulp sf back in the day.

I can't even look up relaxing music compilations without most of them having slop generated robo waifu cover pictures. pathetic
