And I'm presenting a counter argument that you seem determined to ignore. There's a reason archivists and historians are pushing back against generative ai restorations. It's a fact that when compared with a historian's careful restoration, that ai is more likely to falsify details.

Generative AI is a poor choose to use to "improve" old photos and footage due to its tendency to change details (which alters our perception of history). All it takes is enough AI restorations or colorized versions to permanently alter our perception of a specific time in history.

I know, right?!

Oof... well, it's a good thing you found out so it's something that can be worked on. But that sucks

I wouldn't normally buy two desktop buddies, BUT LORD THEY BE TEMPTING ME!!

🎣 need that nerd

He would explode if he got too much of it. It's sometimes good to temper his expectations and send him to the bad boy corner

He's like, "Yes... I made this. Me. All me. Birthed this from my mind. I'm a genius. You're right to praise me."

Oh for sure, I get that. Maybe at some point if you wanted, maybe you could try an ACG store for keychains/stickers/prints? That way if things don't show a lot of interest right away, it's print on demand and that option will still be there for people who want them

I'm so sorry there wasn't interest because they are super cute. I really liked TADC, but I personally don't collect for it. Plus, I wouldn't have a good spot to really put them. Otherwise, I'd have maybe bought Jax. But you did do a good job on them

Amen

That's insane! If i could afford it, I would 100%. I'm so sorry this happened to you and hope you get enough to hold you over until your job pays you

Aww, that is so cute

True. Any gen ai usage should be called out. At no point in the pipeline should it even cross people's minds. I remember with some game awhile back, it got out they used it with concept artwork. And I'm thinking WHY. The process helps develop the idea. It's part of the journey! AI is lazy as can be

All good. Also, exactly! It's so mind-boggling that slipped through the cracks. I'm just overall disappointed and sad for the artists, too, because if they really didn't know, they got screwed over hard

The moment I saw that slide, any hype I had for that movie died. I still hate that there's people defending this. Cultural research should require actual manual research and consultation with real people

Oh I know. I'm definitely well aware. I guess I was just trying to say that I guess if it truly were just one person that did it that one time, sure. Still shitty. But I suppose it's somewhat believable just one person was that dumb. But like, it still doesn't add up at all, and I don't trust them

My favorite madmaid pins. They're so so freaking cute

Yeah, because seriously, even if it was just some rando who included that in the slide, why wasn't it double-checked before a huge panel presentation? It reeks of back-pedaling and has left me very suspicious. It's killed any hype I had for it

Oh man, I hope the madmaid funded! If not, I hope you'll consider a keychain, stickers, or print. The design is too cute not be used for something. I also heard acg is now doing pins. I know they wouldn't be the same quality, but it's another option without needing to sell a minimum
