Heaven forbid actually paying an artist to make your stupid banner.
I'm a graphic designer, and I've been kind of amazed how many people like to show me the graphic/logo/whatever AI made for them. They don't seem to get that they're just rubbing in my face that they don't want to pay an artist...
It always looks kinda crappy too, so I just have to fake the reaction all around.
The amazing thing is that people generated AI art and then say
"I generated some AI art."
No you didn't, you told an AI model what to make using what is virtually search terms and some constraints.
Epistemologically correct way to phrase that, actually. They had the idea, they expressed it, and they refined it into an output they were hoping for. It's no different in methodology, just different in participation and self-effort.
You semantics-warriors wouldn't understand that if it hit you in the head like a sack of bricks though.
Don't fake it. Be honest.
I dunno, that has been what I have been doing and nothing kills the light in their eyes like honesty.
Not always a good plan when you're managing business relationships. It's great when you can have that kind of dialog with a client, but diplomacy is a tricky dance sometimes.
Or just making a simple one with surprisingly little required aptitude. Or just using a public domain image and cropping it. Or best of all, using one they already had.
Yes! Exactly this! Does anyone remember those big "SALE" signs stores used to have? It just said the word sale in big bold letters. Nothing else. It's a sale. I really don't need a fancy graphic to encourage me to potentially save money if I was going to buy the games anyway or to get new games on the cheap.
