Apologizing for using AI-generated image looks like the new sport for public relations managers in 2024 🤣 :

<a few weeks ago>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

•They should have a company wide rule, everyone have to agree with, to not make use of AI to generate images or texts.

•Maybe this AI generated images danger will create a new work for companies: Expert in Authenticity of Digital Creation. I should probably try to apply with requesting a big salary. 😋

•As an actual student learning a bit about AIs, I actually concern about techbros and those fame-seeking "journalists" and some AI-skeptics (not all, many are actually reasonable) using AI as a buzzwords.
AIs aren't truling a thing now, it's just the aim for machine/learning developers, and there are lots of deep learning models with different types, learning methods, purposes, training models, outputs,...

•So, their graphist only used the built-in photoshop Stock image to purchase a cute dragon and call it a day. A mistake, but not a frontal pro AI move, imo.

•I think the folks in the Wacom thread had the right idea: Why didn't they just hire artists to make the art? And that should go double for Wizards, which (from what I'd read a few years back) used to have a good reputation for being a great company for artists to work with.
Ah well, no vulture capitalist can resist the siren song of the AIpocalypse. Wringing money out of industries until they're destroyed and making sure someone else is holding the bag is kind of their whole thing.
