PR guy at wacom: Fuck. FUCK FUCK FUCK! This whole AI shit is worrying budding artists so much, they're giving up on their careers! Our tablet sales are tanking! This AI craze is doing nothing for us! What a lemon! Unless... hmm! What if if we used it to generate ad illustrations? We could cut costs and at least squeeze *some* lemonade from this...

<a little bit later>

PR guy: oh no

@lritter I had no idea about this drama. I made a bit of research; and only the 'apology' remains public, not the illustrations used: nitter.net/wacom/status/174481 . Interesting case, thanks for sharing.

@davidrevoy @lritter "we vetted the image using a few popular online tools"

Point one: aren't those tools also AI based?

Point two: if the image is as obviously AI as most on this thread say, shouldn't you be able to make that out without those tools? Use your eyes!

@badri @lritter

1. I think yes. There is a lot of AI detectors out there duckduckgo.com/?q=AI+detector& , but I doubt about how well they work. A user on our Pepper&Carrot channel reported once one of my artwork was detected as AI, while I had full video timelapse proof it wasn't.

2. Yes! But that only shows probably how much the PR/Marketing team at Wacom works under a lot of pressure and short delays.When things are made so roughtly like that, it's often when no one care or had time to look at it.

@davidrevoy @lritter right...I guess it's more like "we've got a deadline to push out this graphic so let's just send it on"

In fact I feel like that's going to be a common use for generative AI: quickly create filler images when you don't have time to work on it properly 🏃

@badri @lritter I agree! AI is the new version of 'insert Clipart' 😅
