It is 100% AI. Some of the strands of hair fuse into each other, and it's got that AI sheen.
When will companies realize this just makes them look cheap and lazy?

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

When Ai models get good enough that it doesn’t look cheap and lazy?
It’s a shame, they could probably even get a good one for pretty cheap if they tried.
Yep, definitely AI; that hair is a mess
Looks AI to me too. The hair especially on the right makes no sense. There are other questionable aesthetic decisions here, which of course aren't really decisions since nobody made it.
The "hat" thing doesn't make much sense either. I mean, those are too big to be olives. Not that you could easily bend an olive tree branch to fit it into a hat, either; I know that for a fact, since I've worked in the field myself.
I always find that AI art has a kind of, lightly blurred edges look to it. There's rarely any solid lines, in any style it does.
Corridor on youtube have some great videos on why A.I "art" looks the way it does. The idea is that it always tries to offset colours. If it has a bunch of light colours it needs to have a bunch of dark colors. Overall that gives these pictures that cartoon look, and why they pretty much always look the same or similar.
Pick your poison
- Plastic bottle
- Guzzle water for package design
Idk why, it might be inaccurate and just gut feeling but they always have that...look to the generated art. Was reading news just now about domestic abuse simply because of craving for a dish, and the news agency use an AI generated image of that dish. At first glance i really went "is this AI? This looks AI" and the description then declare it's ai generated.
