In response to a wave of backlash this morning, Marvel has denied the use of AI in the creation of a new “Fantastic Four: First Steps” poster.

    This all just looks like humans over analyzing the shit out of every piece of art now and anything that’s not perfect is now the result of AI. The “we 4 you” is obviously on purpose a cutesy version of “we ❤️ you.” Anyone who argues otherwise is an idiot.

            When you get photo shopping a crowd together you take many artistic liberties to get the look you are going for. It’s all about budget and deadlines how far you’d go.

            First off, that’s blurry as fuck and it looks like the 4th could be cut off by another figure in the scene. Second this isn’t some fine art piece, it’s marketing materials made for a deadline on a budget. Things are composted, duplicated, and skipped in order to make something that looks good at a glance.

            I’ll just copy and paste the same thing I said to the other fool, “this isn’t some fine art piece, it’s marketing materials made for a deadline on a budget. Things are composted, duplicated, and skipped in order to make something that looks good at a glance.”

              “This isn’t AI. And if it is, it doesn’t matter.”

                That’s not what I said. I’m saying the imperfections people who don’t know what they are talking about are stretching to say it’s AI are the exact kind of things humans cutting corners do on this kind of work.

                AI slop looks different. This is just regular human slop.

      I’m with you, almost all of the things circled are either over-analysis or the work of an artist who didn’t know what they were doing.

      Example of over-analysis: the dupe head. Copy/paste exists in CGI programs

      Another example of over-analysis: the poncho with buttons. Fashion police much? It’s a fictional universe.

      Example of artist not knowing what they’re doing: the “camera that isn’t used like that.” Artist could’ve been too young to know how it was used and didn’t bother looking it up

      The only one I could kinda agree with was the nose against the viewfinder but even that could’ve just been shitty use of lighting & perspective on the artist’s part

        My assumption is that it’s just a poorly timed shot, where the camera operator is in the process of winding it after taking a picture.

      Except for calling people who argue with you idiots, I agree with you. This looks like a Photoshop job, AI is way sloppier.

        I’m sorry, but only an idiot could think that “we 4 you” is some kind of AI slop. It’s clearly intentional. Humans do that exact kind of thing all the time. People are looking for reasons to be angry and all those things pointed out are borderline at best. That piece is clearly intentional.
